Bab 509: When You Feel Like You're Ugly, Poor, and Have No Redeeming Traits...

Sally hesitated momentarily before asking, "What do you think is true freedom?"

Mag contemplated her question for a short while before replying, "I think freedom is the right to choose. Everyone has different opinions and perspectives, but for me, I think I have freedom as long as I have the right of choice."

"The right to choose?" A contemplative expression appeared on Sally's face. She thought of the elven servants being forced into manual labor in the major families. When they were forcibly distributed into or even captured by major families, they had no choice. When the nobles commanded the work, they had no choice. They didn't even have a choice to stay or leave.

That means they're not free. Sally's heart immediately sank after arriving at that conclusion. In reality, she had already reached that verdict the night prior, and she simply didn't want to admit it to herself.
