NovelEnglishThe men were quiet at breakfast. Master Damien still looked tired. I wondered if he was sleeping much at all. After what Rose had said, I understood his concern.
Everyone at the Keepers was excited to see me, except the Keepers, who looked ataskance. My accident had evidently gotten them in trouble, but not killed I was glad to see. The other girls were ecstatic to see me. Out of sight of the Keepers, they examined my back
Rose was particularly relieved. My Lack of scarring proved the Warriors still wanted me. The Last beating she had seen had been much worse.
The girl they had lashed was from an aggressive plwhere the women were Warriors. She had tried to kill her owners as they slept.

“Right, they do everything together,” I said, “I can’t help them with that.”
The girls glanced at one another and then Rose Looked at me, “Does Christof join his brothers where you are involved?” she asked hesitantly.

Christof’s face darkened as he turned away from me. “Can you imagine how they would react if they knew we were slaves here? It would kill them to know that our entire lives have been built on a lie. It’s better this way,” he said viciously pulling the leaves off a neighboring tree.
He needed to talk and vent, so I just Listened as he spoke.
