Chapter 1026: Out of Necessity
The deal they made that day changed the fate of Crux and so many people.
Now, all those nobles who kept Valerian slaves and treated them badly and even conspired with the plot to use them and other slaves as foot soldiers in the war with Valeria were completely stripped of their titles.
The same was true with those who plotted with the use of undead soldiers.
Depending on the gravity of what they inflicted on the Prudencians, they and their family who took part in it were either fined, imprisoned, or executed.
Thus, a lot of noble households who belong to the pro-slavery faction became commoners as of today.
Any fines they must pay would be collected accordingly, and they may keep whatever remained in their riches or properties, but they were no longer of the same status as they once were.
They did this to ensure that people with the same ideals and beliefs as them would not rise again in Crux in the future.
This was one of their ways of uprooting it.
They would receive a lot of hate, but it was an action they must take for change to happen here.
A lot of them had been violent with their slaves, and most of them in the pro-slavery faction had a part in keeping the Prudencians here.
If not for the fact that there were too many of them, even their family members would have been executed or imprisoned, since they also had a part in the inhumane treatment.
However, they could not entirely put all the blame on the pro-slavery faction for their beliefs since it was the entire system in Crux which their ancestors had long maintained and inculcated as normal in their country.
