That was a great question she asked in that dream at the end there. I'm interested to know why they came looking for her now, after all this time.

In many stories like this, children are sold into slavery because their parents simply can't afford to feed them, especially if they're sickly like Opika was. They know it's a terrible thing to do but compared to the whole family starving to death I can see why it's the less bad choice to make.

^ I agree with everything above. The parents(mostly father so far) seems to be haunted by guilt, but seeing his daughter living a decent life even as a slave, it still doesn't erase the fact he sold her into slavery.

exactly. Opika basically lucky that Sawadi is one buy and become her master. had it being someone else, she wouldn't be so lucky. their parent might getting news of her death and suffering instead.

most slaves have worse life experiences, especially if they were bought by nobles. Opika just got bought by Sawadi because he can use healing magic so he buy cheap and broken slaves and fix them himself.

Even he has a limit, there are slaves he has to turn away because his magic wouldn't save them. I think the same batch that had Roast in it, had a girl with burns all over her body, and one that was experimented on by mages to basically steal her lifeforce, he knew immediately he couldn't do anything for the running on fumes one.

It was a gamble. But honestly they could of struggled together as a family.

The last panel, its really painful to read that emotional question

 

[Baraqiel]

She was going to die anyway so her father gambled on the rumors Sawadi would heal her.

 

[Ironclad]

I feel like a lot of the melodrama from recent chapters comes from giving the locals the same sensibilities as modern people. Having a few kids every generation die of illness is just a part of life you have to accept in that era, especially for the impoverished. A husband and wife with adult children has seen the same tragedy a dozen times before it happens to them. You'll mourn them and move on with life.

Yea I thought I remembered that happened for a few people - they had heard he was a healer and took the only chance they had for her.

Not as ideal as that. In a situation like that, it's survival first. That's human instinct.

Not just in stories - it was exceedingly common (though not as common as with the title slave, more typically they were called servants or indentured servants) for extremely poor families in older time periods to sell off young children who couldn't work to those rich enough to train and use them for work. This happened even more frequently in periods where life was even harder for the poorest - famine, drought, war, etc. Sometimes it went well, sometimes poorly.

It happened a lot in feudal Japan, especially.

It was a gamble. But honestly they could of struggled together as a family.

Frankly speaking, they seem like they might have already been doing that, and then disaster struck. I feel like it was more a gamble out of desperation than anything else.

Speaking as a male, if I was in his place - do I either watch my daughter slowly waste away and die, when there's even a 0.01% chance that if I do this she could be saved? Even if I never saw her again? I'd like to think I could make that decision, but it's such a heartbreaker even thinking about it.

The guilt must be absolutely crushing.

 

[lapizlazuli]

@IvanT Hey, just want to give minor correction for this chapter.
In this scene here, I think it should be "Father" and "Mother"



And any mention of them by Opika should use "Father" and "Mother".

Reason:

Spoiler

Although she shows her parent that she's happy now the way she calls her parent actually feels distant.
In part 2, she even corrects herself when she talks about her father.

"You know Pa-... Father, he is really a serious person."
So as you can see, back then she calls her father "Papa".

Then at the end of part 2, they confess what they feel,


That's when Opika starts to call them "Papa" and "Mama" again.
So by using "Mom" and "Dad" in part 1, I think will lessen the impact of this scene.
