The latest arrivals to the slave market were the Margrave and his men. The Marquis, fully dressed in armor and fully equipped, walked up to the children’s side.
“Mother and Shun, I am very sorry for this. I didn’t think it was going to be like this.”
“It just so happened that an act of atrocities was committed at that time, which is why we were able to save these children. For now, let’s focus getting this situation under control.”
“Leave the children to me. I’ll leave the mansion to you.”
The Margrave bowed deeply to his mother and me. After stroking some of the children’s heads, the Margrave ran to the previous Margrave.
“Father, I’m sorry I’m late.”
“No, you’ve work hard. Did you make preparations in the mansion to receive these children?”
“Yes. I have prepared a larger cabin and have appointed a steward in charge. I also made sure that they can have hot meal right away.”
“Mm, that’s good. These kids were treated so badly. We must punish the adults who behaved badly on their behalf.”
“That’s right. I’m boiling with anger seeing them like this.”
Just as you’d expect from the Margrave.
To think that he had already made preparations for taking care of the children we just rescued. The previous Margrave hadn’t wavered from his stance for the sake of the children.
“Margrave-sama, we have captured the head of this trading company.”
“Guoh-”
They brought in a fat man. He was surrounded by several soldiers. The head of this company seemed to be aware that he had done something wrong as he could not look at the Margrave and the previous Margrave. His face is turned away from them.
Ignoring the attitude of the head of the company, the Margrave spoke with a shouting voice.
“Muhou Trading Company, I rejected your application for the establishing your own slave trading company, so what is this!?”
Oi, oi.
So this is the Muhou Trading Company in question!
What’s more, they were operating a slave trade without a license. In this case, the people involved in this company cannot say anything even if they are condemned. As the name of the company suggests, they do whatever they want in a lawless state.
“Buying and selling slaves without a license is a serious crime punishable by death. Furthermore, it’s highly likely that these children were captured illegally.”
“Damn it!”
“Thoroughly interrogate those involved!”
““Yes!””
The people involved were taken away in a horse-drawn carriage one after another.
The interrogation in this world is not like in a previous life. It will include torture for sure.
The soldiers were also quite indignant about what had happened, so they took away the people involved with great enthusiasm.
