Chapter 1231 - Friends Arrive
Like so, Landon spent his time hoping around according to his schedule, doing the best he could.
And like so, time pa.s.sed by, with more and more guests arriving in Baymard’s Capital city for the big day.
The now King-father Micheal, Monarch Astar, Monarch Henry and several others had shown up.
Be it people from Carona, Arcadina, Yodan, Deiferus or Terique... the V.I.P guests for the event had all shown up during this time.
But even regular people had travelled far and wide to witness the grand ceremony too..
It was a thing of great joy to the entire continent.
And, another shocking thing was seeing Blue people around.
You know, they had seen Lucia’s dark-skin tone before, so they weren’t too shocked when seeing a large gathering of these dark-skinned people around.
Yes. Thanks to Baymard, many people already knew that blue skin people exist.
But seeing them in the flesh filled many with wonder about how gigantic their world was.
.
You know, if Baymard hadn’t publicized these people’s skin tones as being normal, some people or others who were still living in their closed-mind thinking system might’ve accused these people of being possessed, being evil or something like this.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
Mind you, these were dark times, and even their babies were sometimes thrown away or mistreated unfairly. So what more of a stranger?
But you know, ever since the first year Baymard opened its gates to the public, it had created dolls with all the various skin tones in this world and wrote several other stories that blended in with the skin tones of the world.
For example, of course, Snow-white had the Tenola skin tone. Mulan looked like their people from Pyno, Pocahontas, and the little mermaid resembled Dark-skinned people, etc.
He made everything welcoming in various ways long before Lucia’s group stepped into Baymard.
And that’s why the public began calling Lucia princess when they didn’t even know her ident.i.ty.
In short, the first thought when seeing Blue skinned people now wasn’t that of repulse, but wonder and awe.
Beautiful! Beautiful!
They were so beautiful!
She listened to Penelope talking about how hard she had been working to stop slavery around drying the last years and was satisfied with her.
And it’s because of its great size that issues might arise.
.
Carolina had long signed the treaty with Baymard
And for years now, they’ve been working hard to maintain the new rules.
Of course, because they took action years back, at present, within every corner of Carona, the new laws were known to all.
Last September was when she was 100% sure that every town, village or city got the word.
But you see, listening and obeying were 2 different matters.
So during this period since then, the team of men sent towards each region had been trying to place order into the society and stop slavery once and for all.
One would think that the n.o.bles were the ones that gave the most problems.
But unlike other empires, Carona has always been somewhat ‘humane.’
So the number of rebellious n.o.bles that still secretly kept slaves was quite a few.
No... The real problem came from merchants and visitors! These people liked the slave system and didn’t want to let it die... or else wouldn’t they have to pay fair wages to the many slaves checking their account books or those running their stores all around the empires?
Do you know how much money they’ll lose?
Additionally, Penelope also found that it was these merchants that were primarily ?ssisting the pirates in kidnapping or gathering a large number of people for the pirates and others to take as slaves in other empires.
Sure, some n.o.bles did so... But the number caught was nowhere close to how many merchants they caught this past year alone.
Sigh... The underlying problem truly gave her a headache.
But little did Penelope know that she had now joined the train of Kora’s list of Idols
(*0*)
....
But little did they know that during this great time of celebration, misfortune also seemed near as well.
Hehehhe... Who were the visitors this time?
