As the sun dipped in the horizon, the Royal Estate was filled with what could only be described as a mixed reaction.
The Royal Council, which had been deliberating on several affairs all day, was first of all interrupted by the news of slaves and the responsible slave traders mysteriously appearing in their front gate.
The reason they could recognize them as slaves was simply due to the tags that each person had on.
Those who didn't have tags were recognized as the lowlives of the underworld due to their Enchanted Items, or markings on their bodies that earlier investigations had deciphered to belong to a criminal mastermind known as Evals Redart.
What was most surprising was that this very Evals Redart was also among the unconscious ones that were presented at the Royal Estate's gate.
No one knew who brought them, or how they ended up there in the first place.
One moment, the entire passage was empty, and the next, it was filled with bodies.
