- Yes, sir!
The guards moved quickly at my command, opening the cell and gagging them. As they finished closing the cell, I couldn't help but think about what I would do with Damian.
That guy was Camila's love, so she had to wipe him off the map forever. Anime, manga, and video games taught me to never leave loose ends.
If I killed him directly, Camila would hate me and I wouldn't be able to win her heart. Thinking for a moment, I understood something. I have mind control; I just need to corrupt him and then order him to commit suicide far away from this city.
Damien's fate had already been decided without his knowledge. I'll have a lot of fun torturing him.
My gaze wandered to the adjoining cell. I could see two beautiful beauties tied up and a horrible fat girl. I remembered the fat lady because she was the housekeeper and the cause of my problems.
It all started because of her, leaking information to the surrounding land and causing my position to fall day after day.
Their crimes ranged from blasphemy, theft, espionage, etc. She deserved the death penalty and the worst possible among them.
- Give me a summary of them.
The guard immediately stepped forward and pointed to one of the two beauties.
- Olivia, 16 years old. He lives only with his sick mother. She recently bought a rare medicine from an alchemist in another city's alchemy tower. After that, she came back to give it to her mother. She is now healthy.
- Only a few copper and silver coins were found in her possession. We also have the medicine bottle.
The man handed me an empty jar made of glass. From the gold ornaments I knew it was a gold-level medicine. In-game, a medicine as it is on request could cost at least 1000 gold coins. Apparently, I spend all the money she stole from me on that.
- We have to break into her house, which alarmed her mother. Seeing her daughter being carried away by the guards, she fainted. We took her to the healer. She is currently awake and constantly bothering the Southern Knight Order.
I raised my hand to stop the guard. I pointed at the other woman and understanding my gestures the guard made another report.
- Domenica, 18 years old. I had a debt in the casino until recently of 600 gold coins. In his possession were found 400 gold coins and a few copper coins. She has no property and her only relative is his drunken father.
I looked at them both slowly. I received a fixed gaze from Olivia while Domenica evaded my gaze. One had a pure reason and the other was simply addicted to gambling. Both were different in terms of personality. Olivia was a beauty with brown hair, big breasts, and green eyes who wore a cute white dress with no embellishments. On the other hand, Domenica had short black hair, her eyes were blue, and they seemed to contain the sea itself. His clothes, on the other hand, were rough. Her blouse was short-sleeved with a v-cut that exposed part of her large breasts. He was wearing jeans and black boots.
Both of them decided to completely abandon their maid jobs judging by their new outfits.
- Well time for the verdict. It's not every day that I get to punish beautiful women like these.
Before I could even hand down the punishment, Olivia interrupted me.
- I will accept any punishment, but please put my mother aside.
Immediately a guard said.
- Silence the lord...!
I raised my hand stopping the guard.
- Your crimes are serious. Stealing the money for the development of the territory is punishable by the death of everyone involved and by using the money to buy the medicine and give it to your mother you turned her into an accomplice.
These words were like a bucket of cold water for Olivia. Before I could open my mouth to refute, I continued my discourse.
- However, I have no interest in hurting innocent people. So, I'm going to turn a blind eye for this time.
I looked at the guard and said.
- Bring the slave trader and tell him I want to create two seals.
They both nodded, and then one of the guards hurried away. Slavery was normalized in this world.
Slaves even came to have different hierarchies based on how they became one. The three legal ways to become a slave were when a heinous crime was committed, such as the case of Olivia and Domenica.
The second way was through a debt contract. This was the favorite method of scammers who created absurd clauses and high interest rates.
The latter method was of one's own will in exchange for a wish. However, this method was the least popular due to people's absurd requests. An example might be that of a commoner who demanded that his family be given a mansion and unlimited money.
