So hated!
In the presence of the Gray Dwarves, they were asked to trade Gray Dwarf slaves.
Isn't that the same as directly wanting to be their "Dad"?
Kris had clearly anticipated this and continued without hesitation:
"I misspoke, we in the Bay Territory do not have slaves; nearly everyone is free."
Except those "who are not treated as people"!
Noticing the hesitation in their eyes, Kris continued to explain with a smile:
"What I mean is, the Bay Territory does not need slaves to work."
"Instead, we hope to absorb those die-hard members from the enemy forces who are captured and unwilling to surrender."
"We need their forging experience and technology to manufacture war resources."
"Of course, we will not treat them as slaves; after a fixed term of work, they will be able to freely choose to leave."
"Regarding the work environment and treatment, Ash is aware; you can ask him if you have any questions!"
Enemy forces?
Die-hard members of the Gray Dwarves?
