Chapter 749: Denial for Personal Interests
The twins treated commoners well and did not like calling Emily and Jacob as slaves or treating them like one.
However, their mindset and actions were different from what was expected of them by people in their surroundings. They were whispered about as sullied disgraces, accused of adopting a commoner mindset after their years of living among them.
Meanwhile, their supposedly "unsullied" siblings, who, in their perspective were cruel to slaves and often behaved far worse, received preferential treatment from the nobles.
These stark differences in treatment further enlightened the twins about the unfair practices deeply rooted in their kingdom.
Sebastian and Seraphina were further enlightened when their father, taking pity on them and wishing to give them a break from all the judgment, allowed them to accompany him to the Yearly Assembly in Medeus, despite Queen Trisha’s protests.
It was during their time in Medeus that Sebastian and Seraphina came to realize that Crux operated under a vastly different system compared to the outside world.
Their exposure to the broader perspectives and diverse opinions at the Assembly opened their eyes.
They realized they were not wrong as their fellow nobles declared them to be. Crux simply had a very different setup from the outside world.
Having lived as commoners for four years, the twins had already gained a different understanding of life, which made them more receptive to change. They were more aware of their people’s plight and open to possibilities since they had tried experiencing a new perspective after their circumstances forced them to live as commoners for four years.
