The next morning, members of the Independent Committee began their operation to cleanse the kingdom and arrest those involved in the slave trade case.
The King assisted by deploying the Royal Guard, an elite force of the Elysia Kingdom, to escort and support the Independent Committee in their mission.
Meanwhile, Princess Viana was asked to remain in the palace to rest, as she had already played a crucial role in capturing the criminals.
In the end, nearly fifty people were arrested, including Count Richard, Duke Callissto, Marquis Tobias, Count Lewis, and Count Dunan.
However, Duke Callissto was released due to insufficient direct evidence linking him to the slave trade case.
But the effort didn't stop at arrests—each enslaved person was traced, and many of them were successfully freed and reunited with their families.
