Journal Entry #2

Today, I was told to go observe the slave houses. There were so many. I almost wondered why they wouldn't just rebel and get out of slavery. All of the slaves are from the other civilizations Janicia has conquered. They're forced to build our walls and houses, but those that can't do hard labor work in the fields by the Red Sea.

These slaves aren't even the number of people we've conquered, that's the sad part. Sometimes, we're forced to pillage all the surrounding villages and completely destroy the houses and all the people. Sometimes they're sent into exile, but sometimes, the important captives to their people are beheaded.

The slave quarters are pretty peaceful, but the other taskmasters aren't as lenient as I am. All of the slaves are terrified of me because I'm not just a regular taskmaster, I'm a general. They all start to work incredibly harder whenever I walk by. But, I can't bring any unwanted attention to myself since I don't sympathize with our empire. And if they find out, I'm dead.
