Martha said to everyone seriously, “It's true that only our children can get freedom in the future that deserves not to mention everyone. We all have to work harder so we can be free early and earn his trust. Any objections? ”
No one minded when Jake was still thinking about it himself.
After his speech was over, John rang the bell and called Jacob and asked Tom to make a contract for everyone.
Meanwhile, Eva and the others went inside after she finished dealing with the slaves.
Joseph was the first to react after watching Tom's contract,
“John, are you sure about making this contract? Wouldn't you lose if you made this contract? You can still get their loyalty normally means you know.”
John firmly said to him, “Think carefully with Joseph, with that, I will only gain their loyalty because they are my slaves and not their trust. In the future I will need people that I can trust and as you can see many slaves even die within 5 years due to many physical and mental reasons. ”
” With this, I will profit a lot from this deal. However, this deal needs to be hidden from certain people. “
Joseph sighed and agreed, “Since you have taken a firm stance and decision, I can't do anything but support you because you are my friend and our interests are intertwined now. Well, I'd appreciate your decision on this choice of yours. As for Baron Mendez, he would not heed this contract to create trouble among the nobility. As for Tom, he is the main person of the Marquis who deals in the slave trade in Pearl city so you should not worry about him and he might already know about our deal with Marquis Ray. We just have to make sure to include this in the contract that the slaves cannot reveal about this contract to others so that everything will be settled. “
‘Maybe she has a past related to slavery and that is why she hates slavery or maybe a slave could save her life in the crucial moments and be so disgusted in terms of slavery. I have to respect his decision. ‘
Under John's influence, Joseph's thoughts about slaves changed from day to day.
Even Eva and the others after hearing this from Joseph were shocked about this development, but thought it was John's way of dealing with his slave. While Sally looked at him with very astonished and curious eyes, the problem was that people very rarely treated slaves this well and only after a long period of time were they treated fairly and could be granted freedom.
Meanwhile, also due to this miraculous contract and John's speech, Tornwall trusts John and decides to make his machine with utmost secrecy. Tornwall is a man who always takes his words seriously and that is also the reason why he refuses to make any of the machines and weapons from Dwarven technology that he swore he would never say in the past.
After this whole ordeal, they all signed a contract with John and all the slaves were quite convinced about their future and understood that they should not reveal about this contract until they were free again,
This time even Tornwall didn't make all the fuss he used to make so he wouldn't be bought in the past. Watching this most of the slaves and dwarves understood that this deal was most likely true because even Tornwall accepted it and thought to follow in his footsteps.
Sally approached John and gave him advice, “You know if you are a great nobleman then it will create a big political wave after this decision because Many Nobel interests are intertwined with the slave trade. You have to be careful and make yourself stronger as this will unfold sooner or later. “
Meanwhile, Joseph approaches Tom and tells him not to reveal this contract to anyone other than the Marquis and his Father. When Tom made this contract, he already understood that it needed to be hidden or else there would be problems and implications later on and he just wondered if he should talk to Joseph or not.
As Tornwall had guessed, John changed his friends' perception of slaves slowly but surely and it was his ability and sense of value that attracted people.
Meanwhile in a certain castle near Pearl City, the,
Bard is currently meeting with Prince Hector and waiting for him,
The butler of Prince Hector reported to the prince in a certain hall, “Prince, Bard has come and he wants to meet with you because he wants to pass on certain information about the events that happened in Pearl City. As you probably know, Princess Diana is currently in Pearl City so Bard went to represent you at the auction unofficially while Princess Diana was able to buy longevity potions but we ran into trouble when Bard tried to buying the Bluesea Family Longthorn sword. In fact it was the merchant who bought it at a very steep price. What do you think of this situation, Lord? ”
Prince Hector thought for a moment and gave his answer.
“OK, take him and treat him well. After all we will need more support from the nobles if we are to achieve something in the next war and the best way is to socialize and mix our interests with these nobles. As for the merchant, we will see and act according to the situation I do not want there to be any political implications now if the merchant has a great duke as his supporter.It is a good thing that I am not present there but if he has offended me then he will have of course made to apologize to me. Maybe that wouldn't have happened if I was present. “
Butler laughed and gave his answer, “As you wish, I think the same with more nobles supporting us will be beneficial for us in the future, he said, plus your oldest brother already has a lot of understanding in Military affairs so we will always need more chips against him in the future so it will be better to make more connections and more confrontations a little in the noble class for now. ”
Butler then proceeded to invite Bart.
