Chapter 125 Claim The Past

• Augusta's POV (Her past life):
• He had always had his eyes on her business. Even though she was free from all the turmoil of slavery, how was she sure it was going to be permanent? How certain was she that she was even completely free? Her eyes lingered upon them and the slavers with whips. She felt a pang in her heart at the sight. The same feeling that had crept up to her chest earlier was back. That feeling of want, like there was something to reach for, something worth fighting for. She could feel her heart was moved to see the torture these slaves had to face.
• They were deprived of the lives they were to live because they were captured and underprivileged. They were being oppressed unjustly but never asked to be placed in that position. The pain of being a slave was worse than death. Though she was once one of them, it seemed like things had changed for her. She buried the feeling within her. It was foolish to think of rescuing those slaves. She couldn't do it without the intervention of the slave master who apparently wouldn't heed her statement. He wouldn't possibly retire from his duties because of her.
