The year is 1007, and slavery is legal in the Colthaginian Republic. Under the brutal reign of the Zarcid family creatures are oppressed and exploited, bought and sold at the whims of cruel slavers.
Godfrey Girardin, on the other claw, finds "merchant" to be a more palatable name for his profession. Somehow he doesn't think his new marefriend will see it that way.
Takes place in the Equestria at War universe.
Interesting situation to be caught in. Having to half-lie to a potential marefriend and then suddenly switch sides along the way. Must be hard for Mr. Girardin.
Lovely story, though the ending would imply that there's more to it.
a fun look into an aspect of colthage that isnt always elaborated on. enjoyed it a lot!
