Frankly speaking, Rhode’s state because the people of the Country of Light could still ridicule thee to be silly while you people don’t even have the rights to

Rhode was clear that both sides weren’t wrong The Country of Light’s aspirations in establishi+ng the parliaence of a powerful ‘dictator’ like the Light Dragon Soul If another powerful dictator were to eon Soul and beca under the Light Dragon Soul’s guidance Since the Light Dragon Soul was still one of the Creator Dragon Souls, it would be better than being under a Human dictator

This was dohout the ages was because the dictator wasn’t a Huels were born kindhearted and their positions were preordained that they wouldn’t do anything cruel like a tyrant would (But this concept started to reshape through the eence of an unusual presence like Lydia) However, Humans were different Rhode had been educated on history On Earth, there were no lack of great rulers building up a powerful, wealthy empire, but it was eventually destroyed by their ence of elections was er be a single family that ruled the nation Instead, candidates would take up the post through coht to rule the nation Although this sounded like a perfect solution, it was only an ideal, after all

Reality was cruel

There were differences in social classes, race, gender, and many other factors, which predetermined that they couldn’t abandon the differences in one another This was also why great rulers and leaders often eed in times of war as only then would people teether as one But they would once again confront one another after the war ended and the country entered a process of prosperity and peace This hy aliens invading Earth type scenarios were the best at pro Humans

The candidates couldn’t possibly support the poor and wealthy, nobles and civilians, merchants and workers all at the same time as it was extremely difficult to find a perfect balance between the different social classes and statuses Even if one had unrivaled wealth, one couldn’t possibly satisfy every social class It was due to this that every candidate would target a social class in which they would fully support Just like the roup had listened to—he had clearly announced that he would create more job opportunities and also increase their salaries But where would the increased salary come from? An increase in the workers’ salaries meant that the trade associations would fall lower in profits, which would leave the merchants dissatisfied Of course, they could cut down on taxes to appease the merchants, but this sum of money had to be replenished No matter how they replenished, there would be a social class that would take a hit and no one would be willing to be the victim The poor had insufficient wealth to fill up the deficit while the rich were unwilling to suffer losses But there would be debt if this deficit wasn’t filled up and in the end, it would be like a da entirely due to a crack in its wall

There was no perfect solution for it The merchants craved for more benefits while workers hoped for more rewards The poor yearned for ain more resources The size of the cake still remained the same The more you have, the less I have Therefore, they would pick candidates ould represent the their wishes and oppose other candidates anted to dae their welfare The conflicts between social classes beca heartless as they paid the workers little in comparison to the amount of hard work they put in The merchants complained that the workers were a lazy bunch who craved forup to five hours a day The poor wished that the rich would provide financial assistance The poor roamed the streets in tattered clothes while the nobles wore luxurious fur coats The rich believed that the poor should work hard in searching for jobs, rather than begging for help on their bums all day Our money didn’t drop from the sky! We worked hard for it!

It was due to this that conflicts between social classes were apparent Every social class did their utly resisting other social classes as they would possibly becoh such situations more or less existed in every country, it was ht as the supporters of each social class ht possibly be the next ruler of their nation

And in a country with a strong government, the clashes between social classes were less prominent as no matter if one was a merchant, worker, civilian, or noble, one wouldn’t have any advantage in the face of absolute authority Just like the ion previously—Lydia gave a word to lower the price and those who refused were hung to death She didn’t need to consider the benefits of ht be resentful of her decision, but the peace and stability of the Munn Kingdom was far more important than the merchants’ petty profits in Lydia’s eyes And she didn’t need to wag her tail to express goodwill in exchange for the merchants’ support

But there were also flaws in her policies If not, the Munn Kingdoame But… the world wouldn’t be in your favor forever

Many in the group had differing thoughts in their heads after experiencing the scene in the Freedoh they ht, it was still shocking for thes existed in the Munn Kingdom Perhaps people would head to the pubs to chatter, but they surely wouldn’t make such a crazy speech in public On the other hand, the nobles were even nity before the civilians while also being aware of political spies They surely wouldn’t be blabbering such ridiculous words out in the open

But as a qualified ‘tour guide’, Rhode wouldn’t allow his group to continue sulking Shortly after, he led the venue—Glory Theater

“This is… a theater?”

The group gazed at the building in astonishment Derick turned to Rhode curiously

“Earl Rhode, are you inviting us to watch a play?”

“Yes, Mr Derick”

Rhode replied with a slint flashed in his eye

“I pro for all of you”

Watching plays was a popular entertainon Soul Continent This tiroup was about to watch was named ‘Sword of Justice’ The plot was fairly si in Annas, a place in the Country of Light The protagonist was an ordinary mortal who led a normal life in this sroup of red-skinned Deonist’s lover, but they also set fire and burned down his horation while the protagonist and his friends resisted and drove off the red-skinned Demons But shortly after, they learned another truth: the red-skinned Demons had another tribe that was evento destroy this sth and gave up their conflicts and clashes to protect their hoonist’s lead, the group defeated the red-skinned Dehtered their leader to save their ho that it captured the full attention of the entire group Anne was excited She had a lively personality to begin with, and she couldn’t help but screa play On the other hand, Rhode sat in the corner and watched everything with a faint sonist gaining the victory with his companions
