Feeling the awkward tension in the room, Wilfried decided to change the topic.
"You'll be happy to know that the slave traders are going to be publicly executed for their crimes after we finish interrogating them."
Zen nodded his head.
"For what those bastards did, they got what they deserved. However, what are we going to do about the freed captives?"
"We plan to send those with families back home while giving financial and medical support to those that require it. Due to the traumatic experience, they went through, some of them will most likely need therapy to get back on their feet." Wilfried responded, "We plan to offer them everything they need in order to fully integrate back into society."
"That's for the better."
After talking for a bit longer, Lienna and Wilfried excused themselves to go check up on the captured slave traders, leaving behind only the children and August in the drawing-room.
Arvell decided to use this as his chance to escape.
