124 Reconstruction Plan (1/2)
”Look! The Queen is here! The Queen is finally here to see us!”
The commoners exclaimed the moment they spotted their Queen appearing atop the palace walls and peering down at her subjects.
At this moment, outside the palace gates, both commoners and nobles have filled the streets. The only gap that could be seen, formed a line that separated between the two.
When the Queen appeared, the commoners wanted to move closer to catch a better glimpse of her appearance. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
”Don't touch me, commoner!” An Earl backhanded the commoner that accidentally stained his clothes with their dirty hands.
The slap was powerful, and the commoner immediately spat blood with broken teeth sent flying. The Earl was immediately displeased for dirtying his own hands. He took out a white cloth to clean it before looking at the commoner coldly.
”Mercy, my lord! I was pushed!” The commoner cried.
Similar situation happened along the dividing line when the commoners behind pushed them forward into the nobles.
The crowd became rowdy with the sudden rise of disputes. None of the nobles thought they were heavy handed for punishing the commoners.
However, when the Earl raised his foot to kick, he realized the surrounding had become silent.
Elizabeth with one hand raised, was all that was required of her to command silence from the crowd.
The nobles placed aside their displeasure to hear what the Queen had to say, while the commoners could only swallow their grievance silently with clenched fist. If they had strength, they would teach these haughty nobles what it means to be human.
The commoners were like helpless lambs without direction and purpose when they lost everything. They were satisfied if they have a place to sleep and food to eat with their remaining family.
Humans were curious creature, whom like to make sense of the unknown. The commoners naturally also would like to learn the matters of the crawlers and the underground, but their inquisitiveness wasn't as strong as the nobles.
They hoped that the reclusive Queen would step out of palace to relieve the worries and here, she was, standing before them.
All eyes trained on Elizabeth as she made a sweeping glance through the citizens and saw through their myriad of emotions; anticipation, confusion, doubts, fear, anxiety, grievance and sadness.
”Citizens of Crawford, you have suffered. My condolences to you and your families. The calamity that struck our kingdom was not one that this Queen had hoped for. The royal family will see to it that you will have a place to sleep and food to eat until your homes are rebuilt. The palace guards will lead you to where the camp will be set.”
Elizabeth spoke with a clear but powerful enough voice that reached all the people's ears.
”Now you might be wondering what the creatures that have attacked our Capital are. These are insects called spiders. Like the animals from before the Cataclysm, they have mutated and evolved into terrifying monsters compared to their ancestry.”
”The Human Domain was never a completely safe haven for humans with all these insects roaming under us. It never was and never will be… unless! These creatures are completely eradicated!”
”The royal family had always been secretly fighting these creatures to keep the lands safel. However! Due to the vicious plot of the Four Great Family, they have unleashed these fiends upon our lands. They are sinners of humanity and have paid the ultimate price for their crimes.”
”While there were losses, there are also gains. We have finally emerged victorious against these vile creatures and completely eradicated them! Let us strive forward to become stronger, such that a tragedy like this will never repeat itself again. Towards that end, the royal family will be teach everyone how to become strong!”
