Summary
Archduke Gabriel de Luzia is cursed. Since his seventh bride died in a tragic accident, he's become an outcast and has stayed holed up in his castle. His only companions there are his loyal servants, until the day a young woman comes wandering right through the castle's protective magical barrier! Having traveled all the way from her village, Marianne has a favor to ask of Gabriel, but nothing comes for free in this world, and what the archduke asks of her in return could put her life at stake!

In a system like that there would need to be rigorous documentation and certificates of prior ownership/guardianship or else anyone and everyone would just get grabbed off the street and enslaved at any time, and such a society would collapse instantly. So these slavers wouldn't have such documentation unless it was a forgery since the kids were just kidnapped; both offenses should be very serious capitol crimes. Once again, the day is saved by glorious Bureaucracy! (and the MC's knowledge and exploitation there of).
