As I had a bad feeling about this, I quickly tied up the bandits and handed them over to Bridgette.
Then I told her to turn these bandits over to the guards. She replied, âUnderstood,â clapped her hands twice, and two slaves appeared out of nowhere and took the bandits with them.
I was no longer surprised when I saw that scene.
âAh, this has become my daily routineâŠâ I thought to myself as I gazed at the scene with eyes that had lost their highlights.
âThen, donât get kidnapped again, okay?â
I said to Sufia, who was looking at me with the expression of a maiden in love when I kicked the bandit and left the scene to break Princess Claudeâs slavery contract as soon as possible.
â
âI donât want to!!â
âI know. Iâm going to terminate your slave contract right now. Iâm sorry my slaves did this on their own⊠Excuse me? What did you just say?â
So anyway, I brought Princess Claude to my family home to apologize for my slave enslaving Princess Claude without her permission and tell her that I wanted to terminate the slave contract⊠I wonder if I misheard her.
For a moment, I thought I heard, âI donât want toâ from Princess Claudeâs mouth just nowâŠ
However, I didnât understand why she would refuse to terminate her contract after being made a slave without her permission, so I decided that perhaps I had heard her wrong and asked Princess Claude once again.
âNo. As I said, I donât want to!â
âHa? Eh? But why? I bet youâd hate being a slave of someone, right?â
âNo, as I said, I donât hate it! I donât know why. I want to remain your slave, so it canât be helped!â
However, I was not mistaken, and Princess Claude refused to be freed from slavery.
This is getting messy, and I want to bang my head against the wall.
A slave contract can be enforced without the consent of the slaveâalthough it is legally required, with exceptions for criminals and someâ, but cannot be terminated without the slaveâs consent, which means that Princess Claude cannot be freed from slavery.
Moreover, the slave crest, which proves that she is a slave, is located at the nape of her neck, so Princess Claudeâs servants will surely notice it when she bathes.
If this continues, it is inevitable that sooner or later, the Emperor will hear about itâŠ
âOya-oya, Kaisar-kun. Whatâs the matter, in such a hurry?â
How on earth can I convince Princess Claude? Just as I was thinking about this, a man knocked on my door and came in.
