Chapter 521
Sebastian had a difficult past
How hard it must have been.
If he had used violence, then perhaps he would have more to eat. More money and clothes…
But even if that was what others were doing, he swore that he wouldn’t. That was impressive.
With Liza, the boys were just doing what Deam told them to do, because others were… That was the common way of thinking.
“That being said, there were something like unspoken rules in the slums. You cannot kill, or steal from people who are poorer than you…”
I suppose they didn’t steal from the poor, because they were poor themselves.
Also, it just wasn’t very efficient to steal from people who had so little.
As for killing… In my imagination, the slums were so dangerous that you never knew when your life might end.
“If you killed others, it might be easier to take things. But then the guards will arrest you, and a harsh punishment is what you’ll have to look forward to. And while the other crimes are bad, there is no undoing it once you kill someone.”
