"What are you talking about?" Robin raised a single brow, his voice tinged with incredulity.
"One of the first things I searched for in the Soul Society's market was slaves. And yet, nothing—not a single trace!"
Theo responded with a calm, knowing smile—one that carried the weight of old secrets.
"The Soul Society used to deal in slavery, once upon a time. It used to be a den of every kind of sin and indulgence money could buy—slaves, cursed arts, forbidden pleasures, and everything in between. But all that changed when Lord Morval took over the leadership... a few million years ago."
He leaned slightly forward, lowering his voice as if speaking of a sacred transformation.
