Fate/Knights of the Heroic Throne

Huh? Why didn't the slavers flee when the Mandos started getting killed? That's usually a very morale-draining thing. And there would be easier opportunities, after all, than this particular one.

So the king just announced the slavers who tried to murder and enslave them all were working for him. He told the victims of a slave raid the slavers are his men and their saviours are the real enemy.
Dude didn't even try to use propaganda, he just went full tyrant, on a planet whose population isn't beaten down yet or stupid enough to bow to blatant tyranny.

Yeah, he's panicking and I don't see ANY of his administration letting themselves go down with him once the entire planet rises in revolt. Padme's gonna walk into the palace unopposed find it empty apart from Shirou and Artoria chilling in a cell and the King ranting like a loon in the throne room, isn't she.
Not even the remaining Royal Guard or politicians should be stupid enough to think this won't end in them being lynched if they don't leave the king.

From what I read from the wiki, Ars Veruna is tied to Black Sun, Bando Gora, and a Hutt, the slave run is basically Black Sun with some hired mandos being hired by Ars Veruna to stop the 'protest,' the slave run was just a bonus on Black Sun's side. I thought Black Sun isn't just some kind of syndicate that would back down just because Mandos were being killed especially when they had plenty of help. They probably would have gotten away with a lot if Shirou hadn't done the swords falling directly to the 'slavers' who had already corralled a lot of the festival goers.

The next two chapters are really inspired by an unrelated film but starring the same heroine, which is basically the basis of this arc. lol

Thank you both for the comment! Happy New Year!
