Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 50
Second Banquet Hall of the Imperial Palace.
“I hereby bestow upon you and your knights a Quest.”
The Emperor spoke as he laid the blade of his sword horizontally, first upon Count Corald’s head, then upon each of his shoulders in turn from atop the dais.
Kneeling in the knightly posture, Count Corald received the sword with both hands from the Emperor and bowed his head to reply.
“I shall obey Your Majesty’s decree and surely bring our imperial citizens home.”
The ceremony for Count Corald and his knights’ Extraordinary Quest concluded simply within the palace banquet hall.
It was a Quest to retrieve imperial citizens sold into slavery across five kingdoms that practiced slavery.
Over five hundred commoners, abducted by nobles who colluded with human traffickers and smuggled out of the empire, now languished abroad. The Emperor had already dispatched envoys to request the cooperation of the kings and queens of those five realms.
Though the message was couched in dignified, imperial phrasing, in essence it was an ultimatum: return our citizens sold into slavery, or we shall replace your monarch.
He also included, as a courteous suggestion bordering on command, the demand that those kingdoms pay full restitution—with interest—for the labor extracted from the enslaved imperial citizens.
“You must once again bear this burden.”
“It is my duty, Your Majesty. I shall bring every last one of them back to the Empire.”
“If any have formed families, grant them the status of free persons and permit them to return together if they so desire. I shall authorize imperial identification for them.”
“I shall do exactly as you command, Your Majesty.”
As Count Corald bowed his head, his son Timothy and the twenty knights standing behind him bowed in succession.

Short scene 2:
