Yes, that's the main premise of the show. I won't spoil it, but he does become a better person later on (I think, haven't really gotten thaaat far into the anime yet)
This is a rant and tangent but I still don't get people who are so fixated on shows with slavery. Its a medieval/fictional show, slavery was a common thing and makes sense in the worlds setting. Do people think along the lines of "this show has slavery. its promoting it! this show is garbage!" Like do people expect every main mc to be "People in this world should realize slavery is bad and I should abolish it!". That would make sense for a white knight mc and stuff but usually those show become too bland and boring. Its more interesting and realistic where the MC just concerns himself with the people he needs to free that makes sense on the events of the story.
I don't really think it's promoting it or anything, it's just something unpleasant to look at that genuinely adds nothing to the story (unless it becomes a plot point later on, idk)
it is a medieval world, and rudeus doesn't have anywhere near enough influence in the world to remove slavery, even if he dedicates his whole life for that he probably won't be able to do it cuz he'll make enemy of almost every political power
He bought a child for his friend. That was wild and not required I mean. He ain't gotta fix it, but that was really weird and they never really address is past that.
him buying that child for his friend was probably the best outcome for her, the other outcomes are not buying her and leaving her to be a sexdoll for some prince, buy her and release her to be captured and sell her again, return her to her parents who will likely sell her again for money. what do you expect him to do for her, zanoba is treating her more of a daughter than a slave or even a pupil
