Book 2: Chapter 21
The “slave merchant” was being interrogated at the guard garrison. Since there was a detention center established together with the garrison, the criminal was temporarily held there. A sentence will be passed after a hearing. Fair hearing, lawyers, and appeals do not exist in this world. Criminal charges against high-ranking individuals such as nobles are handled differently. In which case, the Holy King and other nobles will judge.
The interrogation room was small, with only a small chair and a small window. The ground was bare.
The fat slave merchant was startled when I entered the interrogation room.
「D-Do you know what will happen if you get violent with me!?」
「Calm down. No one is going to hurt you.」the guard captain said.
The guard captain was a tanned man. He became favorable to me after a series of “slave business crushing”.
「As long as you answer our questions honestly that is.」
The “slave merchant” trembled following the guard captain’s intimidation.
The guard captain stepped back near the wall saying, “He’s all yours”. I moved to stand in front of the “slave merchant.” A clerk with a piece of paper on a wooden board was on standby.
