Chapter 1015: Treason 2

"Heheheheheheh!

William laughed at the thoughts of those old idiots.

They were so greedy that they didn't even understand that oppressing people in this manner could have backlashes in the future.

Forget about the backlash, what about the poor imminent people who were treated worse than dogs?

Where was their compassion?

William couldn't bring himself to allow others to go the way they did.

He had once gone undercover and lived like a slave for 8 whole months.

Once, he and his slave friends are leftover soft bones from the dogs.

And if they were too hungry, they had no choice but to sneak into the garden area and pluck apples and other fruits from the trees.

This was dangerous because if they were caught, they would be whipped or beaten to death for theft.

But what could they do, they were just too hungry.

Slaves weren't seen as humans, so no one truly cared for them.

They died like flies from overwork, malnutrition and other issues.

Of course, there were still times that they had enough food to eat as well.

.

Slaves who were loved or highly favoured by their masters lived well.

It was just that no one knew the mood swings of their noble owners.

In short, their lives were in the hands of their masters.

If they failed to poison someone or even serve a dish that their masters gated, then they would get punished.

Sometimes, even if they were raped or framed, no one would stand by their sides.

Their lives were in their master's hands, and anything could happen.

So they lived in constant fear and bondage.

Remembering his time in that manor, William couldn't help but scoff at these complaints.

Why would he buy the slaves back?

Those people have worked ways more than the original place that they had been bought off.

So instead, it should be the nobles paying them the difference.

Yet these people dared to argue with him?

Hmph!

He wasn't going to change his mind.

Slavery was banned, and that was that!

The slaves were all free to go.

And if they chose to stay, then they should be paid.

That's why he had sent specific teams of people to go from house to house monitoring everything.

He wouldn't leave any stone unturned.

.

Reddit scoffed at the thinking of these nobles.

"Your majesty, I don't know what these nobles are thinking.

But I for one like this change.

Currently, we've already begun registering, hiring and training some of the learned slaves as traffic control officers, garbage management workers, gardeners, and so on.

In fact, even the illiterate slaves were also hired for basic jobs too.

And from a single glance, clear to see how clean the air in the city is.

And all this is because of the changes that have been enforced.

Now littering and throwing garbage and dead bodies on the roads and surroundings was a crime.

Bit by bit, a certain pattern of order had been realized.

And as the days go by, everything's coming together nicely.

This Liberation for the slaves has made them more enthusiastic, happy and loyal to Arcadina.

They now want to work, earn a living and stay in the empire.

In this way, the population will constantly remain steady.

You're right your majesty.

Happy people mean a happy empire.

Because even if these slaves and peasants didn't retaliate now, in future, maybe hundreds of years from now, they might riot and cause major havoc and wars.

Which was only right, because they have been treated like dirt up until now.

That's why it was good to correct these issues now.

More than that, we have all worked as slaves and seen their struggles too.

We understand their plight and am also willing to better their lives.

So we fully support these changes."

Collins nodded in agreement as well.

All of them had been working with William since he was a toddler, so they, who used to be outcasts, also understood the struggles of these slaves.

So the new rules had to stay.

.

William had never even thought of changing the rules just because the nobles didn't want to stop maltreating people.

One had to come up with a good reason for changing the rules, not some wack excuse.

Besides, he had already signed the treaty with Baymard.

So Arcadina had to abide by the agreed rules.

Be it human rights, corruption and other major concerns... All of them had to go.

And the happiest people who embraced this new way of living were the peasants and slaves.

But as expected, many of these old fogies felt that it was an insult for these slaves to live good lives after leaving them.

More importantly, if the slaves left, then who would manage their grand manors and estates?

The option of paying their wages was totally out of the question!

So what do they do?

Many of them were against it all and secretly called William a paper hangol who was weak.

They even made up a lot of stories about how Alec had 'accidentally gotten caught and died.

The stories had circulated around the Capital so much that many began believing that it must've been luck that made William their king.

So many started forming an opposition party that secretly reflected a new ruler who would bring back the old good times.

Change was something that many hated, and they were amongst those.

William knew that changing his empire would be hard.

But he wasn't worried.

.

One should know that the population of both the slaves and the peasants made up more than 85% of Arcadina's population.

And this group was willing and ready to accept change.

It was the other percent of aristocrats and nobles that were adamant.

But even at that, within the nobles, many also welcome the change with open arms.

So if one analyzed it properly, it all boiled down to him changing the group of nobles who refuse to be civilized human beings.

Why were they so happy to torture and treat peolle badly?

Honestly, he started to think that these people might have some mental issues.

Well, whatever the problem was, he would beat them to acceptance if necessary.

And since they even went as far as to re-elect a new ruler while planning to take him down, then he can only shed tears for them.

Because there was no way that he would lose.

So since they started this game, they better come at him with everything that they had.

Because just like them, he too had made some preparations.

He had already prepared a special gift for them and had even gone as far as calling a special guest to deliver it to them.

And that special guest should be here any moment from now.

.

William continued his meeting before someone came in and whispered into hos ears.

"Alright.

Meeting adjourned.

We will pick this up tomorrow, same time."

"Yes, your majesty."

With that, everyone left.

And soon, a tall burly figure walked in with a mask on his face.

William smiled warmly: "Uncle, you're here."

"Of course!

How can I miss this opportunity to play?"

The masked man smiled mysteriously underneath his mask.

And who was he?

Why, he was none other than the famous top-ranked assassin in Arcadina, Mr. Death.
