Caesar XIII stood on the high staircase, his solemn guards on either side of the staircase, unmoved no matter how lively the square below was.

It was only when Caesar XIII appeared that they turned slightly sideways and bowed their heads to salute their emperor, and beyond that, it seemed that only 'danger' could shake their resilient hearts.

The staircase was lined with spears, and the nobles standing at the bottom of the staircase had no doubt that if they did anything beyond the norm at such a time, they would be killed on the spot by the guards.

Caesar XIII's voice echoed through the square, and after a moment of frustration, the nobles and wealthy merchants, led by the great nobles, bowed to the emperor as a sign of respect.

"Thank you for being here today," said Caesar XIII, after a moment of silence, looking down at everyone present, and his voice was loud, "to take time out to listen to my boring speech!"

At this time, Alyssa followed Calvin to raise her head in a panic and look at the emperor.

At this moment, the majestic emperor was like a god, possessing a powerful spirit that could make people bow down to him without even realizing it.

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

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to do such a thing at such a time......

"As we all know, slaves have existed in this world since prehistoric times, and the culture related to slaves has been passed down to this day, becoming a necessary means to be welcomed by the 'public' and show the nobility of our bloodline!"

Caesar XIII's tone was witty, and this joke that couldn't have been colder could not have been colder, but it amused many people at this moment.

The Emperor's icy gaze swept over the men, and he laughed with them as he listened to their laughter.

However, the laughter soon subsided, for many people found out that the great nobles did not laugh, the new nobles did not laugh, and even their Emperor Majesty ...... It's also a sneer!

Laughing and laughing, they suddenly couldn't laugh out loud.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Alyssa looked around in amazement to find that many people were holding their breath.

At this time, it seems that they suddenly understand what they have done wrong!

Caesar XIII sneered and continued: "Where, then, did the slaves come from? from the battlefields, from the refugees, from the countryside, from the towns!"

Suddenly, many people's eyes widened.

They...... What do you hear?

Why did Your Majesty talk about this?

What does he want to do?!

"—From the farmer deceived by the lord, from the thief who has not sinned! My dear knights, lords, what are you thinking now?"

The corners of Caesar XIII's mouth hooked, like a devil grinning, "Can you tell me?"

...... Factories need manpower to produce, but farmers are not willing to waste their fields, they are not willing to give up their fields!

The only people who held the factory were the aristocracy and the wealthy merchants, and only they could afford to buy steam engines and production lines.

The aristocratic lord and the rich merchant lord kindly wanted to give them a better life, but they were unwilling to give up their fields, and they were not willing to let the lord buy their fields, but after the factory was built, it was impossible to let it go to waste, so they called some of the slaves in the mines and fields and let them work in the factory......

After tasting the sweetness, the old men wanted more slaves out of control, but there were only a few slaves in the regular way, so they could only make this decision - issue regulations in their own territory, let the farmers taste a little sweetness first, and then when they fell into it step by step, they found that they had nothing left.

No wealth, no land, no shelter, not even freedom!

Because by that time, they were already in debt, and they could only become slaves of the old men in order to pay off their debts.

This kind of thing...... It's been going on for a few years now!

For a while, the square was so quiet that it was audible to hear the pins falling, and the sweat on the foreheads of the 'noble lords' and the 'rich merchant lords' was profuse.

Of course they knew what was going on, and at first their Emperor did not stop him, they thought he had acquiesced in what they were doing, but...... But......

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

At such a time, Caesar XIII suddenly spoke, startling everyone.

The big nobles were still silent, but the small nobles and rich merchants were already sweating.

As for the Imperial Codex, what is it? They had never read it, how could they possibly know what was written in it!

Isn't the empire autonomous for the nobility, as long as it's within its own territory!

"A bunch of trash!" Alyssa suddenly heard Gregory's snort.

"Do you remember where the honor of nobility comes from? Do you remember where the glory of the family comes from?Do you remember where the glory of the empire comes from?!"

Caesar XIII's louder questioning silenced the nobles again.

They often take out honor, glory, and glory to talk about their own 'nobleness' and 'elegance', but in fact, who cares?

Those are nothing more than their faces, and beyond that, there is no other use!

They like to use these things as 'rewards' for the glory seekers to work for them, but they themselves don't like them, so they don't care.

However, it was their common monarch who was questioning them, His Majesty the Emperor who was supreme in this empire.

They...... You have to figure out a way to deal with the past!

But at this moment, a nobleman standing at the bottom of the stairs suddenly sighed: "Yes, Your Majesty, too much time has passed, and we have too many things in the past......"

He looked back, and his regretful gaze swept over all the nobles and wealthy merchants present with stunned expressions.

Subsequently, the current head of the Ken family looked at Caesar XIII and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, our Ken family is willing to give up all slaves, and promise that the family will no longer have slaves in the future!

Alyssa Ken looked at her father in a daze, and said nothing.

However, Calvin, who was standing on the sidelines, was not too surprised, because he had already seen that Alyssa Ken was just a puppet dancing in the hands of the duke from beginning to end!

As soon as Duke Ken's words fell, a big nobleman on the side took a deep breath and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Balomyan family is also willing to give up all the slaves of the family, and promise not to own slaves again in the future!"

"The Anbar family seconded the proposal, and now some people have really lost the face of their ancestors!"

"The Corey Family Seconded ......"

"The Mandelado family seconded the ......"

The great nobles spoke one after another, scrambling to look as if they were talking to Caesar XIII, but in their capacity, there was no need to do so.

So why would they do it......

The little nobles and the rich merchants were stunned on the spot, and at this moment, they finally understood what it was like to be 'backstabbed'.

After the great nobles spoke one after another, no one was 'willing' to speak, and looking at these people, Caesar XIII couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he uttered a shocking sentence:

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

"All slaves, from this day forward, will be free!" (https:)
