Master Marcus noticed how his new slave girl was gazing at papers on his desk. Her eyes were too curious, and it was obvious she knew the symbols. This foreign bitch was an exotic import, but she was not trained in any slave houses that educated their slaves to be skillful Qiyan with many special properties. This slave was only a pretty face, but that face had curious eyes. Reading was something only a few knew. Most citizens couldn't read, and the slave girl who could read was alarming, especially when the dealer didn't mention that and asked for a higher price. Marcus asked other slaves and a girl about reading, but they all said they wouldn't read. Marcus believed other slaves. It was sure they couldn't read because they were only looking at papers. This girl was looking at symbols like she was trying to memorize them.

One evening Marcus was studying his book when he noticed how once more, his new slave tried to read the pages. Marcus was suspicious because wars between city-states kept the environment dense, and spies were everywhere. Who knew what this pitch was? She could be a spy from Goris or one from Saril. Both cities were in fierce competition for more power. He had prepared himself to question his slave, or he would get a specialist to examine her.

When curious eyes studied the empty cover of the book, he closed the book and stood up.
