(the rest of the chapter)

Opening the trunks, the four girls blinked at the clothes that they were seeing.

There were enough articles of clothing in the trunk to dress up a whole full noble courtyard of slaves.

Their speechless expression was quite hilarious to look at Speranza giggled. You girls should see your appearances I have over ten more of those trunks!

The four girls looked at each other how rich was there new masters? There were gold and silver used to make those clothes! And she was casually giving it away!

"Alright, now chose some that you girls like take two warm sets three light set and two sleeping sets. Their all adjustable so size is not a big issue."

She smiled brightly at them.

'I will go sit over there" she pointed the sofa made of pillows. "You girls take your time in choosing what you would like to have." take it as a welcome gift."

The four unanimously felt that this mistress indeed was not so wicked, she even was very generous with them —they, after all, had not experienced much kindness from anyone for a long time.

If they wholeheartedly served this young woman would they not be treated well?

Speranza went back to play with her lovable little pets. The fiery red little guy was worse than a fly there was no shaking him off!

Fey and the little wyvern got along pretty well like two small kids while the psychic dragon was more mature and rarely joined their games of tackles and tags.

A few hours went peacefully by, and the girls finally had all finished choosing their clothes. Using the small kitchenette, Speranza busied herself in making some nice chicken pilon, seasoned with some spices and pepper.

Saya that was supposed to look after her meals paled. The mistress was cooking how seriously hungry must she have been?

Saya came next to Speranza and kneeled at her feet, with a pure tone she said. "Saya is truly useless, Saya failed to cook for the mistress."

Seeing and hearing this Speranza laughed gently. "Silly girl, I know how to cook." She said pointing and waving her long cooking spoon.

Saya was dumbfounded normally mistresses new only how to decorate the home and organize it for there husband. Usually, when misses are nobles, only those that came initially from an ordinary background would know how to cook.

How did this girl encounter such good luck?

They were a little jealous about it but seeing how this girl was generous they thought maybe it was a sign of a good life blessing.

In the meantime, Arkalat was heading for the second boat to see to the last minute's details. Tonight they would load both ships and ready them to leave at dawn.

Loading the merchandises in the second boat would take a few hours to settle them all inside. They would also carry other types of commodities.

He had brought spices and other things like that, but it was mostly to cover the rest from his wife.

She was too naive and would not understand why he had chosen the slave trade over the others even if he spent hours explaining himself to her.

Heading for the dock master he waved him over, once the Dockmaster came over, he asked him.

"Everything on time?"

Nodding his head and speaking in a flattering tone.

"Yes, yes everything is set and ready the boats are now afloat and ready to go."

"Very well, I will head to summon the crew. The boats will leave at dawn."

Saying this, he headed toward the second crew's barracks.

Waking them all up, he informed them that the departure time is at dawn.

"The merchandises must be loaded up and settled in before three in the morning."

The crew captain nodded and set out with his men to the boat.
