Chapter 745: Overthrow the System
’What a cruel reality,’ Arabella thought as she nodded in understanding and let Seraphina continue.
"Me and my twin brother Prince Sebastian, were enlightened when we experienced living among the common people from which slaves were pulled from at random. We realized the constant fear and apprehension they had to survive every single day."
Princess Seraphina explained that the masters live in opulence, while the slaves endure daily hardships and unspeakable exploitation.
The current system in Crux served only to perpetuate this disparity, benefiting a privileged few while the majority suffer.Yet a lot of these masters even take pleasure in watching their slaves writhe in agony.
"It was plain madness and inhumane. Our people were not treated as people but as livestock. We realized that the current Crux was made only for those at the top while those below were only meant to suffer from their whim regardless of the consequences. It’s a path to doom," Princess Seraphina’s eyes and voice were filled with emotion even as she tried to control it.
Looking into the princess’ eyes, Arabella felt a lump in her throat as she saw with her ability, the madness Princess Seraphina had witnessed. Regardless of age, there were people getting flogged, beat up, and even killed by their masters like their existence meant nothing.
Her hands balled into fists as it reminded her of the time she saw a kid almost get flogged to death in Prudencia.
’I hope Martha and her child are doing well,’ she prayed for the two.
Arabella took a deep breath to calm herself.
