Chapter 79: Crux Kingdom
"The Crux Kingdom? I thought so. When I checked the map, it was the closest territory to Prudencia that welcomed slavery."
[She must have truly been bothered by it to have even spent her time checking maps instead of resting. Right, Raymond and Alwin said she recognized the mark of slaves on the ladies’ hands.]
"You know about them? Have you seen slaves before today?"
"No. It was just that since I was young, my parents, the King and Queen of Lobelius had me educated about the territories in Eliora that welcomed slavery since they wanted me to avoid marrying into such a territory no matter what."
[No matter what!!! What if she divorced me because of this?! She already said she won’t divorce me but if her parents learn about this... Damn that Marquess! I’m going to kill him.]
"I swear, I and Valeria condemn slavery. This was the first time this happened. I will execute the Marquess myself if I have to."
"I know. Please don’t worry. I understand that you had no part in this. But how will you appease the people who had members of their families taken as slaves?"
"I had written a letter to the Crux Kingdom. They have to return every single slave they got from Prudencia. Of course, we have to refund them their money since the Marquess sold them at quite the price. And if they refuse, it means they would rather face my army instead."
She didn’t expect Ferdinand would decide to bring back the people from Prudencia who were sold as slaves. It would be difficult and hard to achieve.
