Duke of Grief

Caesar XIII stood on a high ladder, and the guards with solemn expression stood on both sides of the ladder. No matter how busy the square below was, they had never moved.

It was only when Caesar XIII appeared that they turned sideways and bowed their heads to salute their emperor. In addition, it seemed that only ‘danger’ could shake their gritty hearts.

There were spears standing on the stairs, and the nobles standing under the stairs had no doubt that if they did something beyond the limits at this time, they would be killed on the spot by those guards.

Caesar XIII's voice echoed on the square. After a moment of stunnedness, the nobles and wealthy merchants bowed to the high emperor under the leadership of the great nobility to show respect.

"Thank you for coming here today," after a moment of silence, Caesar XIII looked down at everyone present, with a loud voice, "can take the time to listen to my boring speech!"

At this time, Alissa followed Calvin and raised her head in a panic, looking at the emperor.

At this moment, the majestic emperor was like a god, possessing a powerful courage that could make people bow to him unconsciously.

Caesar XIII's gaze swept over everyone present, and since he learned that even the queen's brother was counting him and his empire, he had lost patience with these nobles!

Otherwise, he would not choose to do such a thing at this time...

"It is well known that slaves have existed in this world since prehistoric times, and the culture related to slaves has been passed down to this day, and has become a necessary means of being welcomed by the'public' and showing our noble blood!"

Caesar XIII's tone was witty, and this joke, too cold, made a lot of people laugh at this moment.

The emperor's cold eyes swept over those people, listening to their coquettish laughter and laughing with them.

However, the laughter quickly fell, because many people found that the big nobles did not laugh, the new nobles did not laugh, and even their majesty the emperor... also sneered!

Laughing and laughing, they suddenly couldn't laugh.

The atmosphere solidified at this moment, and Alisa looked around with amazement, and found that many people were holding their breath.

At this time, they seemed to understand what they did wrong at once!

Caesar XIII sneered again and again and continued: "So, where did slaves come from? From the battlefield, from the refugees, from the countryside, from the town!"

Suddenly, many people widened their eyes.

What did they hear?

Why does your majesty talk about this?

What does he want to do? !

"--From the farmer deceived by the lord, from the thieves who do not sin! My dear knights, lord, what are you thinking about now?"

Caesar XIII's mouth was ticked, like a devil grinning, "Can you tell me?"

......The factory production requires manpower, but the farmers are unwilling to waste their fields and unwilling to give up their fields!

The only people in charge of the factory are nobles and rich businessmen, and only they have the conditions to purchase steam engines and production lines.

The noble lords and wealthy businessmen kindly wanted them to live a better life, but they were reluctant to give up their fields and unwilling to let them buy their fields, but after the factory was built, it was impossible to let them It was deserted, so they called the slaves in the mines and fields and let them work in the factory...

After tasting the sweetness, the old masters wanted more slaves, but the slaves in the regular way only had a little, so they could only do so-issue regulations in their own territory and let the farmers taste A little sweetness, and then when they step into it step by step, they realize that they have nothing.

No wealth, no fields, no shelter, no freedom!

Because by that time, they are already in debt and can only become slaves of the old men to repay their debts.

This kind of thing... has been going on for several years!

For a time, the square was so quiet that the needles could be heard, and the sweat of the foreheads of the “noble master” and the “rich business man”

Of course they knew what was happening now. At first their emperor had no exit to stop. They thought he had acquiesced in their actions, but...but...

"Do you remember what was written in the Imperial Code?"

At this time, Caesar XIII suddenly spoke, startling everyone.

The big nobles remained silent, but the little nobles and rich merchants were already sweating.

As for the "Imperial Code"? what is that? They have never seen it, how could they know what was written there!

Isn't the empire autonomous? As long as you are in your own territory!

"A bunch of rubbish!" Alissa suddenly heard Gregory sneer.

"Do you remember where the glory of the nobles came from? Do you remember where the glory of the family came from? Do you still remember where the glory of the empire came from?!"

Caesar XIII's louder questioning silenced the nobles again.

Self-reliant ‘noble’, self-respected ‘elegant’, they often take honor, glory, and glory out of the matter, but in fact, who cares?

Those are just their faces, and beyond that, they are useless!

They like to use these things as ‘rewards’ and let the fools who seek glory sell their lives for them, but they don’t like these things themselves, so they never care.

However, it is their common monarch who is questioning them now, His Majesty the Emperor, the supreme emperor of this empire.

They... must come up with a way to deal with the past!

But at this moment, an aristocrat standing under the stairs suddenly exclaimed: "Yes, Your Majesty, the time has passed for too long, we have too many things in the past..."

He looked back, and pityedly glanced at the nobles and wealthy merchants who were all in amazement.

Subsequently, the current head of the Ken family looked at Caesar XIII again, and said with a loud voice: "Your Majesty, our Ken family is willing to give up all slaves, and guarantee that the family will no longer have slaves in the future! Hope this action can restore the loss of the nobility. Face!"

Alisa Ken stared blankly at her father without saying a word.

But Calvin, who was standing aside, did not have many surprises, because he had long seen that Alisa Ken was just a puppet dancing in the palm of the duke!

Duke Ken's voice had just dropped, and a large nobleman beside him took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the Palomyan family is also willing to give up all the slaves of the family and guarantee that they will no longer have slaves in the future!"

"The Anbar family seconded that some people now have really lost all their ancestors' faces!"

"Cory family seconded..."

"The Mandado family seconded..."

The great nobles uttered one after another ~www.NovelMTL.com~ The appearance of scrambling seemed to be like that of Caesar XIII, but in their identity, they did not need to do so at all.

If so, why did they do it...

The little nobles and the rich businessmen were all stunned on the spot. At this moment, they finally understood how the "backstab" felt.

After the great nobles uttered their voices, no one ‘willed’ to speak. Looking at these people, Caesar XIII couldn’t help but sigh.

Then he said a shocking statement:

"From now on, the empire will cancel the'slave'! This sentence will be written into the "Empire Code". From today, whoever dares to own a slave, then the only thing waiting for him is the gallows! "

"All slaves will be free from today!" (https:)
