For generations, monster races throughout this region had been treated as inferior beings.
Many had lived as servants.
Others had been sold as slaves.
Some noble families had considered them little more than property.
Those prejudices had not disappeared overnight.
Several humans still looked upon the monster races with old prejudices.
Years of tradition could not disappear in a single month.
For generations, beastmen had been sold in slave markets.
Stonekin had been forced to work inside mines until their bodies crumbled.
Forest races had served as personal attendants to noble families.
Those memories had been engraved into the culture of the former kingdom.
Many humans still found it difficult to accept the change.
Yet, the world had already changed.
The throne no longer belonged to a human king.
It belonged to Alix.
His kingdom was built upon a simple principle.
Every citizen who obeyed the law would be protected.
Every citizen who broke it would be punished.
