Eumenes arrived on his house, but found his adopted father dead and Thrax's body beside him. His father's friend used the opportunity to eliminate Eumenes by betraying him to the city council, citing his true heritage as a Scythian. The council decided to sell Eumenes as a slave, letting him stay on his former house until a buyer arrives. His condition got worse from master to being a slave, frowned upon by his former servants (one of the servants, his former servant was the one who used Eumenes to stop the woman's rampages). And as a buyer arrives, he was sold for a talent and sent to a Greek-dominated, Scythian border city.
