Emma was shocked by Chiron's words. But nevertheless, she did as she was told.
Chiron laid back in his bed. He needed to rest some more before Emma came back.
....
Quite a distance from Chiron's home sat a manor.
This manor was quite big and spacious. In fact, it was probably the only home in the entire clan that could compete in size, style, and age with the Chief's manor.
It had high walls that surrounded it and a big gate that was very artistically made with carvings of flowers and naked women on it.
In front of this gate were very long rows of people sitting on the ground. They were all waiting.
Many at this gate had come here to wait for days. Many others had waited for weeks, and a few of them have been coming here monthly.
Many of them here were very wealthy merchants. In fact, some of them were even cultivators. However, they all without complaint sat on the ground.
