I don't have the issue in front of me, but, was that Empress a genuine slave? I don't recall the issue well enough to be certain, and I'm not in a place where I have my comic collection handy.

I don't remember for certain either, but I don't remember her being an actual slave. A serf, perhaps, keeping with the medieval theme of Orando, but not a slave in sense intended.

^ I'm sure that linguistic distinction was of some comfort to her while she was chained to a wall, scrubbing floors for the aristocracy. Haha

But at least she had the comfort of knowing that she and all her descendents would forever be scrubbing these same floors, and could never be sold to another aristocrat and have to scrub different floors!

OK, I just re-read the issue, and I do not see any indication that she was a slave. She was certainly a subject of a duke, and that duke was attempting to force her into marriage (or at least bed) with him when she ran away and found the Emerald Eye, but the precise nature of her relationship with the duke is not specified enough to say that she was a slave.
Next question to Invisible Brainiac.
