The next morning, there was astonishment in the mines when the night shift wasn't rotated. The slaves working there hesitantly and cautiously made their way to the exit.
Small groups also flowed towards the exit from other corridors.
Astonished and wary, they went outside until someone told them that the kings and the minotaurs were dead.
Further along at the kings' castle, a group of servants gathered in front of the burnt-out building.
And soon they went inside looking for valuables or things that could be used.
At the minotaurs' fortress, people were also searching for valuables. And it didn't take long before they robbed the minotaurs of their expensive armor.
This continued until late in the evening when everyone began to descend onto the main street of the small settlement.
Among the houses destroyed by the minotaurs, a woman stood, stirring up the crowd. "The oppressors are dead. We are finally free." When someone asked her name, she hesitated: "My slave name no longer matters. From now on, I'm Liberty." Two men shouted at her: "Lead us then, Liberty!" She then asked the men their names. "I'm Eugène, and my friend is Delacroix." (CLICK ON THE IMAGE FOR MORE BACKGROUND INFO IN THE BLOG)
"Well then, noble-born, from now on you will be called Nobel, and your friend Cross." "You will see to it that I remain noble, and your friend will help me in the choices I must make, as his name clearly indicates." This was met with general cheers, and Liberty was carried through the streets on the shoulders of her two companions.
