75 Agenda (1/2)

-That night-

”Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make.” Maria standing up in front of all the villagers who were attending called out as she wore her battle armor with her weapon by her side.

In this moment, she looked like a beautiful warrior who did not even need to use a weapon, in order to kill her foes. Rather, all she would need is to look at them with her bright eyes in a seductive way.

”I have spoken to the Chieftain and he informed me that from this moment onwards, the women of this village will also be able to train in their elemental affinities.”

As Maria had said this, everyone listening including Leo, were stunned by the recent development as cheers started to appear throughout the citizens.

After the male warriors of the village became stronger than ever before from what Leo had donated to the village, everyone felt that if the women of the village were also able to train, that the village itself would be more formidable.

In the back of the banquet hall, several women with strange auras around them nodded in agreement as the woman in the middle of the table stood up to leave the banquet hall after locking eyes with Maria.

At the table, were many of the women who held a large portion politically speaking within the village. The woman who stood up was the leader of this small but formidable group.

As the banquet continued with many of the male warriors talking more to their wives and sisters and even their daughters about training, Maria sat next to her father while many individuals went to greet her.

Now that Maria made such an announcement, all of the focus was now on her, and her father allowed this. Although it would still be difficult to convince the council to hand over the Chieftain role to his daughter, the Chieftain still wanted Maria to grow her influence so she would never be bullied.

Being responsible for the whole village was not an easy task. Even if it was giving up their solidified foundation within the village and its politics, the Chieftain at the bottom of his heart always wanted his daughter to never become the next in line for his position, and only to live a long and happy life.

After several hours, the women from the back of the hall started to approach Maria and to show their respects to her. At first, Maria was only invited into the group thanks to her affiliation with the Chieftain. However, now, her foundation would grow and surpass them all very soon.

”Maria darling, Joanna wanted to speak to you at her residence after you finished eating your food. You have done very well, and we all pitched in to give you a big present.” one of the women said as she also began to bow towards the Chieftain out of respect.
