>>5566136 answered about mudcore better than I would have done it. He put it in a nutshell. Fighting slavers is "noblebright" and every "good" adventurer has done that, so of course it removes mudcore. But mudcore is not always good, after all it can change your gold into silver and bring medieval illnesses to your lands.

Slavery was still not banned in France because we are in 1299 and the edict of Louis X was proclaimed in 1315 if I remember well. We are under Philippe IV the Fair, the father of Louis X the Quarrelsome. Slavery was mild in France since the kings forbade to sell slaves but people born into slavery stayed slaves and their children were slaves.
About Christianity and slavery the church ordered to not mistreat slaves but was never against slavery in itself. Indeed in the 1270's the opening of the Genoese trade post of Caffa, in Crimea made the Genoese great merchants of slaves, they bought them from the Golden Horde and, since they were italians, sold the men to the mamelukes and kept the women for themselves.
The point of view of Charles would be the one of the church, it was strongly against slavery of Christians by muslims, but not against the fact that infidels enslaved eachother (what else to expect from them) or the owning of non christian slaves. For exemple in the crusader states people could have slaves but if a slave genuinely converted to Christianity (not simply to earn his freedom) he had to be set free. So dealing with slavers outside of France or slavery, as long at it was not the enslavement of Christians, was tolerable (but not seen as virtuous).
About Louis X's reforms against serfdom it was more of a kind of deal with the serfs, and only in the royal demesne, the king offered freedom to every serf who could buy it since he needed money to wage war against the Flemish. But factually it was not very effective because seeing the huge price of their freedom a lot of peasants preferred to stay serfs. The fact that this scoundrel of Marigny (that our dear Charles rightly despises) emptied the treasury and that the brave Charles de Valois (the leader of the "feudal party" that our own Charles considers to be a genius), who was the power behind the throne used the treasury like his piggy bank to pay off the debts that he made because he felt alone when not eating a banquet with at least 60 guests might have played in this huge price.
