The day was going as usual for Clarissa. Since the day she was brought by her new master Klaus Von Emsier, it was the same routine for her. A routine she loved.
When she was sold as a slave, she feared for her life. She knew how the nobles treated their slaves.
She was brought from a nation where slavery is full-time legit. The nation's high seat never cared about the commoners. As long as the nobles weren't disturbed, they didn't care when slavers killed and enslaved the common people.
Those slavers usually sold the enslaved to slave merchants who sold them outside.
This is how Clarissa got to the empire lands. Before she even landed, she learned that slavery was only partially allowed and under strict regulations.
The only way one would become a slave is for them to commit a heinous crime. War prisoners are debtors are usually temporary slaves as they can win their freedom again when certain conditions are fulfilled.
