Calming the Empress

The place was once teeming with people, the streets alive with the hustle and bustle of nobles and VIPs.

Being on the outskirts of the Empire, it was an ideal spot for illicit activities since nobody paid much attention to what went on there. It became a hub for selling slaves, a grim but thriving trade.

This place was infamous for its large-scale slave auctions, which had been operating for almost a decade.

The hotels in the area barely managed to accommodate the influx of VIP guests who visited regularly.... However, a few years ago, everything fell apart when an old man single-handedly destroyed the slave auctions.

The once-bustling streets fell silent, with people now avoiding the area altogether. The remaining slave traders, fearing for their lives, fled the place, and the hotel business suffered immensely as a result. Before long, everything collapsed, leaving behind only a handful of people who had no choice but to stay.
