- No! I won't allow you! But if you said it's the law then I'm quite confused, shouldn't I be able to make that decision on weather you can keep your slave?
- But father! Those slaves were given to me from grandpa! You cant take them from me its the law.

- Yes, I shall help you in making your code so the laws parents have over their children can be more understandible so that they would know what control they have over their children, be able to know what you are required to have to be proven innocent or guilty in certain senarios, and know what rights they have as humans and citizens.
- Tribonian, it has come to my attention the the laws for the empire are confusing to the people, and that's a huge problem considering the fact that justice may not be served. Would you help me in wiriting a new code of law that will help the citizens understand the law?
- I want my people to get justice,to be able to take care of their slaves correctly by knowing their rights, to know what's and what's wrong.

- Well son, I understand these laws that our emperor has fixed for us and it says I have full control over you, which is really helpful for our situation. And as I said a few days ago that slave shall be set free and is no longer yours. I feel you are too young for a slave of your own.
- Yeah I agree about the law, though I am a bit disappointed I couldn't have at least one slave for my future.
- The Byzantine Empire in 529 C.E., just a few days after the publish of the new code.
