"They sold infant and toddler in order to train them as military force" Xiao Tianyou continued. "Some of the children that L clan sold were our country children"
"How they get the children?"
"Many habitations not belong to any kingdoms. No kingdom exclaim their land, hence, they don't have military power and quite poor. These habitations were spread between the countries. They took the children from there. In any case, they kidnapped our country villager children"
"Why don't we take any action?"
Upon hearing Senja question, elder Dam snorted. "The emperor didn't take this matter seriously and the higher up collaborated with them in dirty deals. While our clan exclusively only for military and imperial issued. L clan and their underlings were dominated trivial things for the official and aristocrat family such as service guard, messenger and personal guard. Their people was spread everywhere in this kingdom. They are very sly and we don't hold any evidence to put them under arrest"
Senja remember where she heard about this black web market. Sian and Lee talk about this sometimes ago, this black web market was indeed exist in her world however, instead of established by fabricated many illegal organization, it was actually managed by a country as a state income.
Could it be, it was the same here?
"Don't you think that the emperor didn't take this matter seriously because he has a hand in this?"
Elder Dam got surprised by Senja words but then he shook his head. "I think he don't have any concerned in this matter because he was thinking about how to establish cooperative relations with Rockstone kingdom" As though he was remembered something, Elder Dam asked Xiao Tianyou "Did you know why the emperor insisting to relate the kingdom to them? They are just small kingdom near our imperial city, I don't see anything profitable there"

Xiao Tianyou thought about it for a while before he answered. "There was indeed nothing profitable there but, in Rockstone kingdom some rare medicinal herbs growth, as we know currently he was establishing continent of physician with the other 2 kingdoms"
"That sound like lousy excuses, don't you think?"
"I do think the same,"
Elder Dam shook his head in annoyed. "That brat emperor, what he was thinking? Rare medicinal herbs matter is more attracted than human trafficking issues"
"He is supportive enough to support the financial behind this investigation, but never occurred to him to make Imperial decree to investigate his officials regarding their support to this clan and the dirty underhanded between them"
"Is L clan just growth stronger recently?" Senja asked. Now, she immersed herself in this matter.
"No. Before 2 years ago they were merely small clan but in this past 2 years they are growth by leaps and bound and many clans was in their control" Answer elder Dam. "They are even brave enough to set up a lair in black sword clan territory" Elder Dam growled angrily.
"What the role of this Goozu guy?"
"He is a leader of L clan."
A figure of slump child at the market flashed through her mind. If a name that she heard from the kids slipped words was correct than it was mean that kid would be sold?
Damn! She actually help that kids to escape from tiger den but put him straight to snake lair. Perhaps, her vision before told her to not help him? But if she was told to not help him in the first place then no need to show her all of that, right? It was just too confusing for her.
"Crap…" What exactly you want me to do grandma?!
She grumbled softly beneath her breath. Of course elder Dam and Xiao Tianyao who sat close to her, hear her cursed. Both of their brows raised due to surprised.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
