The sky outside was still dark when Little Antelope got up, changed her clothes, and left the dormitory.
Although her sister had paid to buy her out of slavery, she had no place to live and had to continue staying in the serf dormitory.
Fortunately, it was free, so she could stay there indefinitely.
Looking at the gray, dusky sky, Little Antelope took a deep breath. "I'm a commoner now!"
She left the dormitory and jogged to the pasture.
"Mrs. Rem!"
Mrs. Rem was a very gentle woman. Little Antelope had heard she used to be a maid in a large castle before coming to Porcupine Territory with her husband, Mr. Subaru. Back then, the Lord hadn't been Lord Leech, but Lord Lieder.
"I've come to help you move the fodder," Little Antelope offered.
"Thank you," Mrs. Rem said with a smile, not refusing the help.
Work in Porcupine Territory was strictly assigned. A job like raising livestock, for instance, was a real prize, and people were desperate to get that kind of work.
