“Do you not force them to become slaves?”

“If I were to ignore your will and force you into slavery, how would I be any different from those who kidnapped you and forcibly branded you with slave marks? Though the process of enslaving you may differ, the end result of being forcibly made a slave remains the same. I have no intention of becoming such scum. However, if the fact remains that you bear the tattoo of a slave, then I believe that those who have become my lord Kaiser’s slaves, such as myself, can lead happier lives. It’s up to you to choose. But whichever path you choose, if it’s your own choice, then you must take responsibility for it.”

Even though I found it strange that they asked me such a question, considering I currently lacked a master and was essentially in a state of free slavery, I dismissed their question by telling them to choose whether they would become Kaiser-sama’s slave or live as a free slave.

They probably harbored a desire deep down to be made into slaves.

Indeed, they did.

It’s undoubtedly better to become the slave of those who helped you rather than to become someone else’s slave, and living on as a free slave also means never being able to trust people until you die.

Nevertheless, looking at their attitude, it was clear that they had lived their lives up until now being swept along by others’ wills rather than their own.

That’s why I pushed them with “choose for yourself.”

The main reason for this decision is that if they are to become my juniors and Kaiser-sama’s slaves from now on, being made a slave against their will by someone else rather than of their own volition might inevitably lower their consciousness. I think that lower consciousness is not suitable for being Kaiser-sama’s slave, so although it may be harsh, I decided to take only those who chose to become Kaiser-sama’s slave of their own free will.

The paths chosen by others and those chosen by oneself, even if they lead to the same conclusion, are undoubtedly different in terms of how much their thinking changes.

As a result, everyone here has chosen to become Kaiser-sama’s slave, and I thought they had a good eye for the future.
