In other words, nothing.

Monarchy does not prevent enslavement. In fact, serfdom is a relatively common feature of monarchy. That’s what those two things have to do with each other.

The UK, under a monarch, abolished slavery and set the Royal Navy to blockade slave ships.

Meanwhile, the USofA pre civil war under a President with no offical monarch (other than the Little King for a term arrangement) had extensive slave plantations.

There’s no serfdom anywhere in the world currently. There are plenty of monarchies in the world.

Meanwhile, currently, slavery is far more common in non-monarchies than monarchies.

Your “relatively common” is literally zero in the current reality, unless there’s countries you’re aware of that the rest of us aren’t.
