Chapter 167: Hope of the Future (4)

After a long discussion, Queen Leila had finally told Milton this:

[I have never heard of anyone ould have thought that, dear, but it o with the trends rather than to try and block it]

She had said yes to Milton's idea Crisis and opportunity were like two sides of the sa to take this crisis and turn it into an opportunity that he thought woulddifference to the country He had made preparations for it and now, stood in front of the thened his voice and spoke to the crowd

“Because of Republicanisdoive up until the day we build a paradise with Republicanism”

“We will never yield to the oppressor’s persecution!”

“Leave us!”

It didn’t matter whether Milton and Queen Leila were fair and capable nize monarchs The basic concept advocated by republicans in this world was that all humans are equal And so, even if Milton tried to use his authority as a monarch to persuade them, lines would just continuously be drawn But, Milton twisted that line

“What you’re saying makes sense”

“Oppressors should…what?”

“What did he just say?”

The people in the crowd opened their eyes wide and looked at Milton; they couldn’t believe what he had just said Milton continued to drive the wedge in further as he spoke

“By nature, hu to determine a person’s superiority based on status and class”

The impact of Milton’s words was enormous The monarch of a country… The person at the very top of the social hierarchy had just denied the class system

“damn it…”

In a shadowed part of the forest, there was athe crowd That man was David He had plotted all this froernails as his face distorted

“What the hell is he doing? Just shut up and fight Hurry up and bite each other like dogs, kill and be killed”

What the hell was this? He had h Duke Palan had made several atte for David He had skillfully angered people and caused 100,000, no, close to 200,000 people to get together and becoainst just one single person, Milton Forrest It was just Milton hiht any soldiers with him, but no one could overlook or underesti to the end, the croas co

This was unacceptable David had installed h hatred andwith it And yet, that crowd had been shaken by one person’s speech? This could not be accepted If it continued like this, all of David’s plans would fail

In thethe status system The moment Milton talked about that, David clenched his fist

‘That fool, it’ll just bite him in the ass’

Perhaps that was a decision that Milton had ry crowd But how could a person as at the top of the kingdom deny the social systery crowd That kind of person would never be trusted

‘Foolish bastard It’s all over for you now’

David was convinced of Milton’s demise

The crowd had been momentarily persuaded by Milton’s words, but then, someone spoke up

“I don’t believe it”

“That’s right Those are just words, how are we supposed to believe empty words?”

“Aren’t you the one who destroyed our Republic?”

The anger of the crowd threatened to overwhelely calm

‘Can I invoke even a tenth of the sincerity of that legend?’

He had prepared and practiced in advance, but when he thought about it now, it had all been useless Their beliefs were too strong to persuade them with thin lies In order to reach the hearts of such people, Milton had to speak the words with sincerity rather than a grand and i speech That’s why Milton had coend’

Milton spoke to the furious crowd

“I am not in favor of Republicanism I know that the utopia that the Republic has been advocating is an illusion that cannot be reached”

“That’s a lie”

“Don’t insult our beliefs!”

The ry, but Milton spoke before they could erupt

“I’ If the Republic was the perfect utopia, then ere you ragged and poor under the Republican flag?”

A few people shut their mouths at his questions Particularly, those who realized that their lives were better than it hen they had lived as a Republican could not respond Was the Republic a perfect and equal country? Was everyone able to live in peace without feeling hungry? NoBecause they had lived within the Republic, they knew better than anyone else Because the Republic put the military first, the people always had had to pay excessive taxes And even though the Republic had said that humans were all equal, those in important positions within the Republic had the same power as a noble
