Chapter 177 Seeing my Mother Once More 1 (2/2)
'So my aunt and cousin are at least good leaders to the common people of Jennova.' I thought to myself. But their way of waging war is still wrong.
”But don't you think war is a little over the top.” I said. ”I mean there are still other ways that Jennova can live well like trading and business. War can destroy the lands that once were abundant with life. It can also take years to get it back to how it once was.”
Martha was silent in thought for a while. ”You are also correct there princess. Actually, we common people really are not very enthusiastic with the idea of war. What we only need is to make a living every single day, having clothes to wear, a roof to take shelter and food to eat are the most important to us. But the queen has promised us that we will have a more comfortable life after winning this war.”
”But what if there are other ways for the people of Jennova to live comfortably, will you think twice on this war?” I asked.
”If you ask me princess, then I will much wish for this war not happening if there are others ways. I mean war is always accompanied with death and the loss of many people's lives.” Martha replied with a sincere face. ”I am sure many of the common people will also think of this. Many of their livelihoods are affected in this war. If not for the queen's monetary and food support, the common people of Jennova will not have a positive outlook with this war.”
'So the queen is giving support to the affected common people of Jennova.' I thought. 'Then what will happen if this support is cut off? Will the people of Jennova revolt against the queen?'
Thoughts are swirling inside of my head. This brief chat with Martha is quite beneficial. I think I can devise a plan that can help Regaleon to win this war. If Jennova is having internal conflicts while engaging war against another country, it can pose a big problem to them.
Not long Martha stopped on a specific door. We have been walking for quite a while, that just means that this palace is really quite big. The corridors all looked the same hence you can get easily lost in your way.
'I need to familiarize myself with the palace's layout to plan my escape in the future.' I thought.
”This is the quarters of Princess Leticia.” Martha said to me.
”Then my mother is waiting inside?” I asked eagerly.
”Yes princess.” Martha smiled and opened the door.
Inside was a room with the same layout as the room I came from. Scanning inside, I saw a woman sitting beside a window, she was looking outside. She also had the same platinum blonde hair I had.
”M-Mama…?” My voice was low but still broke the silence inside the room.
The woman sitting beside the window turned to look towards me and smiled sweetly.
”Mama!” Tears came pouring down my eyes. I quickly ran to where my mother was.
