At the mention of the word-guards- Simon could not help but glance at the dark armoured guards who stood at the entrance of the academy.
One might think that being a guard was a good thing, but that was wrong.
It was not.
All guards were slaves of the clan.
There were clan members who guarded and protected certain places in the clan, but they were not called guards but Shadow Blades or Veilmasters.
They were called by their ranks in the clan.
Guards were slaves of the clan, and they were expendable but had some value.
For majority of the slaves in the clan, being a guard was one of the best jobs one could get in the clan.
Although one was expendable and the clan rules would still not protect a guard in many cases, a guard of the clan was paid, well fed, had a roof over their head, and had access to a few of the clan's resources to get stronger.
