Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

”Going once! Going twice! Sold! We will deliver the item to you when the auction ends! ”

Aldred felt excited and worried at the same time. ”Mary, we got the item. ”

Mary nodded rapidly. Blood rushed in her heart. 28,000 gold coins. It was either do or die now. If velobra sold less than that, they ’d be damned.

”Our next item is a magical pill created by a Platinum Ranked magic alchemist. Let me emphasize the word magic for you all! The cart revealed a glass container filled with white beautiful pills. These are Miracle Breath Pills. When you climb the mountain, the higher you climb, the thinner the air. This makes it hard for you to breathe. With these pills, you do not have to worry about that. This container has 40 pills, and starts with the price of 1,200 Gold coins! ”

”Do we need that? ” Aldred asked.

”I don ’t think we should spend any more, ” Mary said. ”We have already spent 28,000 gold coins. What if velobra doesn ’t earn more than that?

”I should have enslaved more creatures. If only we could sell enslaved Gold Rank humans. ”

”That ’s not possible. ”

Aldred sighed. ”I am glad that it ’s not possible. Slavery is not a good thing. ”

”Slaves are okay to sell, but you cannot enslave those with power. People that couldn ’t reach the Copper Rank can become a slave due to various circumstances, and they can be sold around. ”

”Must be rough for them. ”

Mira looked at Aldred and then sighed. She was still upset about the event earlier, but she knew the boy wasn ’t a bad person. ”We don ’t have slaves in Montcresia. We believe that everyone deserves hope, and to have hope is to be happy. I apologize, but Ceraisian is an empire filled with depression and suffering. The majority of people here are badly treated peasants and slaves. When we were in the fort, I talked to some of the slaves, and I don ’t like what I hear. ”

”I know, ” Aldred said. ”I talked to them too. I wish I could do something for them. ”

”You already did a lot, ” Mira said with a smile. ”They said something about you. Like how you help them with back pain and teach them how to obtain clear water. ”

”What I do is not enough, ” Aldred said. ”Right now, they still work in the field under the hot sun that sears their skin. Every day. No rest or break given. If they get sick, they will be killed. How do you think it would feel if we were in that situation? ”

Mira looked at the boy with widened eyes hidden behind her mask.

”I am sorry, Mira. I was being petty, and it cost someone their life. I will visit the lady. If she asks for my life, then I will give it to her. ” Aldred got tears welled up in his eyes. Even though he got great blessings, and lovely parents. What he did was unforgivable. That lady did nothing wrong, but she died because of him.
