Julius meets Velian

"Tell me everyone, is it worth it for your children and future generations to be like slaves for a kingdom or an empire that doesn't even care about your well-being?"

None of them answered his question with loud voices but everyone knew the answer. The people who wanted to leave to look at the gate had urgent looks on their faces.

"I know it's hard so I will give you time and everyone who wants to check bodies whether you had relatives among them, I will prepare them so don't go outside now, it's still dangerous,"

Velian got down from the platform after giving them advice on how to proceed.

"Lyra, make sure all the dead bodies of farmers are properly dealt with, it's true I lied in my speech but at least I won't go back on my promise,"

Giving a little smile, Lyra left to arrange things while Daphnia and Delviny followed Velian.

"Naomi, come out," As soon as Velian said those words, out of nowhere Naomi kneeled in front of him like she was waiting for his orders.
