"Bringing freedom to the Empire?

When I snapped back at the parrot, the people at the round table nodded forcefully.

says Witte, finance minister.

"You own a slave. Right?

"Yes, you're right..."

Speaking of my slaves, I mean Perse, the merchant.

It's just that Perse is formally my slave because there's an imperial law stipulation that demons have to be slaves.

Arte and Flora were also dropped into slavery status as felons, so they were forced to take the form of my possessions, but weren't going to treat the two of them essentially as slaves.

Perhaps the people of this Free Alliance are negative about slavery.

So I tried to explain the situation before I was accused, but Witte's next words were unexpected.

"I hear you treat slaves not as slaves, but as reciprocal collaborators. It's great."

"Did Dr. Lucy tell you?

"Oh. So you really want to free those girls from the status of slaves, don't you?

"Does that mean that if we abolish the slavery of the Empire itself, it will also be possible?

"Exactly. Slavery is a lagging system that is still around in the continent's leading countries."

But is that possible?

The number of slaves, however, is decreasing in the Empire, and the mechanical and magical development, both in industry and in life, makes the need for slavery less frequent.

That said, there were no moves at all in the Empire to abolish slavery, etc.

On the contrary, even now, on the border, the Imperial Army has taken the heterogeneous girls and supplied them to the slave market

Instead, the imperial chamber itself owned a considerable number of slaves.

For example, Philia's mother was the daughter of the devil and served the emperor as a slave.

"The problem of slavery is just the tip of the iceberg"

The Lord of the Voice was a brown-haired woman sitting on a round table.

The beautiful brown eyes were glowing with delight.

"Are you... Leticia Captain of the Basileus Adventurers?

"Yes, I'm an executive of the Cleon Salvation Knights now."

Leticia appeared with Lucy and Sophia during the Necropolis offensive.

I guess Lucy and I originally had an acquaintance with this organization called the Free Alliance.

Leticia was leading another group of adventurers, so she also said she didn't seem to endorse Creon's route.

Leticia tapped the round table with her thin fingertips.

"There is no political freedom in this country. His Majesty the Emperor and his incompetent neighbors are conducting authoritarian politics and slaughtering the people"

I felt sweat streaming down my back.

What Leticia has now uttered is a clear criticism of the current emperor and imperial government.

Lucy adds further.

"There's famine in the West and a lot of people are starving to death, and the war against the Alemanian Farren Republic continues to lose. The soldiers are in a terrible battle."

Witte responded to the word.

"I am causing Professor Lucy and His Holiness the Virgin Sophia to cease to convene once and for all, but that is only a buy of time too"

Lucy and the others were to be at the forefront of the war as Empire Five Mages.

Lucy asked a senior official of the Empire to do that, and once he said he had stopped it, he said the senior official meant finance minister Witte.

Anyway, I might have come to a hell of a place.

"Stop the war, abolish slavery, too, and save all people." Freedom to this country ". That's the euphemism of our free alliance."

"Are the Lucy teachers trying to overthrow the imperial government?

I asked straight in.

Lucy shook her head sideways.

"Are we not going to rebel against this empire? Because unlike the July Party, we are all loyal subjects of the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor"

"So what do you do? What teachers are trying to achieve is impossible in the current system of politics."

"No. I have a solution. That's why I called you here. And I made thee master of Philia for the same reason"

Lucy stared straight at me with her crimson eyes.

"Solon, you are my dear disciple. I trust you the most in the world. So I want you to lead this country as master of the emperor."

"That means..."

I found out what Lucy was trying to say, but I didn't dare say it.

To put it into words, because it was too impractical.

"Force the court to hold His Royal Highness the Empress Philia to the throne. That's our plan for the Free Alliance."

Lucy snapped, "Freedom to this country," and the people at the round table also said, "Freedom to this country!" and sang in unison.
