In the end, there was no way to dispute Grandpa Kent's decision, and the intruding black outfits were taken by the soldiers. I let him worship my face for once, but I didn't seem to recognize either Urania or Grandpa Kent, of course. However, I was concerned that I saw a black pattern on my neck when I took off something like a black headscarf that covered my face.
"Slave, huh?"
"Slave?"
"Yeah, there was a black pattern on their necks, wasn't there? Proof of the slavery contract. They don't have restraint marks on them, so they're probably illegal slaves."
Grandpa Kent says the pattern on his neck looks like a contract stamp to make slaves listen. At the same time they make known that the person is a slave, they are also objects that cause suffering when they disobey the command of the Lord. If the sentence was light, the pain wouldn't be that much, either, but he said repeated violations of orders by felons and others would be enough to be life-threatening.
Moreover, in addition to the seal of the covenant, a technique called a restraint mark is embedded in the hands and feet. This one seems to have a stage, but if it's the heaviest one, do you think it's going to be so binding that even a big adult can't move properly? Its seal of restraint is linked to the seal of contract, which causes suffering to the slave, while the seal of restraint increases its binding force.
But I don't think they had such marks on their hands and feet, and it wasn't like they were being held in captivity in the first place. If you are a recognized slave in this country, it is unlikely that you have said that either the seal of contract or the seal of restraint are lacking, etc. From that, those three are probably illegal slaves.
"If you say so, slave, you're here."
"Has Lily never seen a slave?
I have sold them out to enslave criminals. But in my sense, I didn't mean to enslave people like morons and thugs because it's like sticking them out to the police.
I don't even remember seeing slaves in the city of Motoshi, and in this city of Sekitug I have seen very little but servants, rather than slaves, because I spend most of them in this mansion.
I personally would probably not have a slave. I was Japanese because I still can't seem to tolerate the existence of a slave. I think it's perfectly natural to say that criminals are forced to labor. I guess it is important for them to reflect and as an opportunity for that redemption. But if you ask me if it's familiar, it's NO.
"I've never seen it, and I don't want to get too close to you."
"That would be wise. We don't want to get too close, either."
Perhaps there's something wrong with what Grandpa Kent is saying and what I'm saying, but don't you dare point that out. With Grandpa Kent, the nobleman of this country, and me from different worlds, it's obvious to think differently.
"But I don't think we'll ever get along like that. Normally, you'd be less likely to see a slave. Especially not this sequitug or motoshi."
Grandpa Kent tells me that most of the slaves are in harsh mines, pioneering villages, etc. Rarely do nobles use it, but if they are nobles with decent power, do they use decent people instead of the uncertainty of slavery or something like that?
As the story suggests, there are no slaves or slaverises among the servants who serve the Iglesio family. Most of the servants of the Iglesio family are civilians, but some of them seem to be of aristocratic origin, such as a maid with an adan. I also wonder if a house with a high title, the White Lord, would hire civilians, but that is also the result of an attempt not to create a particular faction so as not to get involved in a power struggle.
As a result, it cannot be said that other nobles have become neglected.
