"'Colluding with bandits,' 'associating with thieves,' such collusion with thieves would have been considered a serious crime in the Feudal Era."
Even in modern society, 'harboring and protecting criminals' is still a criminal offense. The right to harbor isn't an unrestricted right."
But in this era, any action that doesn't contradict the Dyson Principle is permitted.
No power can prevent an ordinary person and a thug who has lost the protection of civilization from forming a close bond or even doing business together.
Ah, of course, providing information about an individual or a collective to a thug, in fact, aiding the thug's violence, such actions are still regarded as an indirect infringement upon individual life and private property. The victims are free to take revenge on the betrayer.
But this power is only limited to the victims and the agents they personally entrust. Bystanders cannot intervene, and Lords have no need or right to interfere in such matters.
