The Vastness of Magical Destiny

Although he had been mentally prepared, Komer couldn’t help feeling somewhat ashamed in the face of the straightforward and honest words of the half-beastman.

Wasn’t it exactly the result he needed from playing these tricks? But on second thought, with the current situation in Leon, if Caucasus didn’t intervene, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it could become a haven for rebellion.

As the other party had said, tens of thousands of half-beastman slaves, who had supposedly been liberated, making them re-adapt to a life managed and restricted by others, and more importantly, making them realize again that only labor could get them bread, the most basic truth, was not an easy task. Komer knew he too would need to put in much effort to achieve this.

"Mr. Dragumo, it seems you are somewhat impulsive. Leon belongs to The Kingdom of Nicosia, it belongs to Homer, or it could be said it belongs to Duke Philip, and it could even be considered to belong to Count Boninski, since the Kingdom Star Chamber Court has not officially stripped Count Boninski of his noble and lordship titles. But it does not belong to you, nor to me."

"From a legal standpoint, in the secular society, you are still a band of rebellious thugs, not recognized by society. Although the reasons you started the rebellion are understandable, they do not constitute legal grounds for legitimacy. As for the self-liberated slaves, they too would not be protected by law, for no lord has accepted them as free citizens, and they lack the legal procedures required to become free citizens. In secular society, they are still slaves, and moreover, they are rebellious slaves, who could be executed without any reason or justification."

"I understand your feelings. The situation in Mandu Region is unstable, and the people need food. I have already agreed to offer some aid first, so you don’t need to try to win my favor this way. I think I am better suited to manage a relatively stable Caucasus."

Komer’s words were very calm and well-reasoned, and he had learned to perform at any time, in any environment, which seemed to be a quality a noble needed, and Komer found himself especially talented in this regard.

"Oh, Lord Barron, I think you misunderstand my intention. As I said just now, I cannot represent all the brothers and sisters of Leon, but I can represent those living in Mandu Region. What you just mentioned about legal and secular matters may be very important to you, but for us half-beastmen who live at the bottom of society and may face death at any time, such things are irrelevant!"
