The remaining two goons were easily killed by Henry's comrades, while Ecna knocked the main evildoer senseless. While Ecna took care of the slaver, Henry went and cut the ropes restricting the women.

*Tingling!

"Take this and take care of the other rooms and their hostages!" said Ecna, throwing to Henry the keys from the slave trader. There were more than 20 keys, some of them being keys to the hideout or the slaves' rooms.

Henry rushed out to the tunnel, and started to open every door in his way, trying the keys one by one. The slaves he kind of wanted to buy were of the highest sort, as they even had a slave mark that gave someone ownership over them. That's exactly why he had to play the role of a rich noble guy instead of outright killing all the slave traders. Now that he had ownership over the women, he could just command for the slaves to be freed, and the slave mark will disappear itself. The rest slaves had it a lot harder. They weren't considered as high quality goods, so the goons didn't care about them at all, using violence and **** to relieve themselves.

A new problem appeared when he discovered in one chamber several men which also had the slave mark, though it was expected. If there were people interested in buying women, there would also be those interested in buying men. Those men were also considered as high quality goods, meant to be a wealthy woman's toy. All of them looked delicate, even with some girlish features. He took all the slaves he freed back to the room they fought in recently.

"Ecna, I found several men with the mark, and by the looks of it, they are bound to this pig." he said pointing towards the slave trader. He was laying down on the floor, while his face was unrecognizable after all the beatings he got from Ecna.

"Let's make this pig either transfer or free them all first, then let's go back to the base. We should take care of these people." she said, then poured some water on the slave trader's head. After making him transfer the rights to Henry, they all marched back to their base, with the evildoers in tow.

Next day in the palace's throne room.

"So, how is going the hunt on slave traders?" Emily asked Sir Nathan. As he was responsible for the special force, he took command of the missions concerning the slaves' liberation.

"It's going well, your majesty. The slave traders, their bodyguards and subordinates aren't powerful enough to confront our agents. These three days we managed to free more than a thousand slaves from the slave traders unhappy with your new laws. Most of them had no way to go back home, either because their homes were razed and burned to the ground, or they were way too far and dangerous to reach from here. Most of them took the decision to live here, while some want to become part of your army or special force, to train, fight and serve their savior and benefactor." he said, talking in a nonformal manner. Since Emily didn't want her aides and generals to feel that far apart from her, she ordered them to express themselves freely when they are not at an open ceremony or something similar.

"That's very good, as Demi-humans trained in the right way usually become way stronger than humans. It was a waste to use such powerful and talented individuals in so many areas as slaves. Are there any groups that showed exceptional results?" asked Emily, playing with a self-made blood spinner.

"Yes, Ecna's group showed the best results. They managed to release the highest number of slaves, and even freed those with slave marks." he said proudly, as Ecna was someone he personally trained.

"If I'm not wrong, Ecna is the half human and half dark elf girl. It's not surprising that she put the most effort in this case, as she must have suffered a lot being ridiculed and laughed at because of her blood. I'd like to reward the whole group with an emblem, so could you organize this?" asked Emily. 'I need to get the total loyalty of such subordinates with potential. It would be good to make training sessions between them and the lesser vampires, warriors and succubi. They could learn from each other...'

"Of course, I'll do it as soon as I can." said Sir Nathan. 'It's surprising how much different the capital became in these three days. Even though there are still unsatisfied people, most of them already accepted Emily as their Queen. With such a leader, I'm sure our kingdom will remain in history, even if it will have a different name. Why weren't the previous kings and queens like this?' he thought to himself.

Because of Emily's reform, the kingdom passed through drastic changes. If there were any wild monsters, Emily would send her own army of monsters to try to assimilate them, if it was possible. If they didn't want to, they were killed, while leaving only the children or eggs to hatch and train the next generations. The newly appointed Duke Windsor had to work day and night, as he was the most loyal of Emily's subordinates in the civil sphere, while Ramiya learned from him most of the time. Cavetown was still unknown to the public, as Emily wanted to leave it as a secret base of sorts which could be used for extreme situations and training ground for the monsters and other individuals with great potential.

The next day, Throne room.

Sir Nathan organized the rewarding event as fast as he could. It wasn't planned to be an open event, so just Emily, her closest subordinates and the agents supposed to be rewarded were present.

"Ecna and your group of secret agents, for your exceptional feats during the operations that took place these last days, you all are rewarded with an emblem of the crescent moon. From now on, you are part of the crescent moon order, the new special force agents only under my disposition." said Emily getting down her throne and waling towards the group. She stopped in front of Ecna, wanting to put the emblem on her herself.

"Your majesty, it's an honor to be praised and rewarded by you. Me and my group want to thank you for all the changes you've made for Amare Kingdom and it's citizens. We would remain forever loyal to you, my queen, ready to even die at your orders." Ecna said after Emily put the emblem on her.
