Was Krael worried about the Annual Harvest Offering?
Not really. His produce was thriving so well that he wouldn't need to worry about hunger or the annual offering for another three years.
One could say it wasn't his hard work that ensured this abundance, but rather that of his mother and father. They had a natural talent for cultivation and had made sure to leave behind more than enough of everything. Perhaps that was why he'd been targeted by his uncle.
How he came to know such information could only be blamed on his parents' kindness. While they believed they were sowing karma, they failed to realize they were raising wolves and snakes.
One of the many reasons Krael had dismissed all the house help stemmed from situations like these. It wasn't the only reason, but it often came to mind.
Krael grew tired of watching the town through the stained glass of his carriage. He knocked on the wood.
"Adler, stop here."
