Chapter 16 - The Ark Of A New Visitor (2/2)

Minwoo wagged his finger disapprovingly.

”No longer an Earl. Promoted to Marquess.”

”Makes no difference to us,” chimed the three of them.

Minwoo rolled his eyes. He had almost forgotten he was in the presence of non-humans.

”Besides, why have you called me here?” asked Minwoo.

”Well, thought it could be good to contact some humans about the current situation,” explained Baldwin, waving some reports at him.

”Hmm... Not much I can do about it. The Congregation's still reigns supreme. Until they fall, I won't be able to be of much help,” replied the Marquess, dejectedly.

”You daft thing! I don't need your help with the Mages. Why would I call a human to that? We can fix that ourselves. It's the humans that I need you to fix,” explained Baldwin, pissed at how thick one's skull could be.

”What do you need me to do to fix humans?” asked a rather confused Minwoo.

”Don't say as if they were made from wood. I need you to restore order to humans who have fallen from the normal community,” explained Baldwin.

Minwoo looked at the man questioningly.

”Fallen from normal society?” asked the Marquess, once more.

Baldwin gave a firm nod.

”The humans have segregated themselves into two groups of people. One good and the other evil, is the most basic term I can come up with,” replied Baldwin, looking right at the Marquess.

”And why should I know this?”

”Because as the future leader of the Campania domain, you should be well aware that not all humans are the same,” warned Baldwin.

”Think about it. If you were to have both sides of the coin, wouldn't that make you such a powerful leader? You would be able to fix so many problems. Allow the two groups to work together. You could answer to all your peoples' needs and wants,” offered Gillian, looking the Marquess.

”The only reason why the Congregation is now falling apart is that they are unable to control the balance between good and evil within their organization,” replied Ysabeau.

”So, you're telling me to pick a side of who should I control?”

”No, I'm telling you this so you can gain control of both types of humans within your domain. If you can get both on your side, you won't be dealing with so much rioting and protest as of now.”
