Hello.

This is The Knight.

I wish to talk about families.

What is your family like? Do you have siblings? I have many siblings. More siblings than there are moonblessed. One of them is here with me. They are also a knight. They were one long before I was, and they are very good at it.

I have a child. They were not born by mating, as humans do, but by a dance with myself and my friend Grimm. It was part of an important ritual.

My Father is a King. My Mother is a Tree. Also a Queen.

That is all of my family. Please tell me about yours.

The ones enforcing this.

[wearingguess]

Do you think it would really be that simple?

[dreamnailedit]

You said they were being forced, did you not?

[wearingguess]

Yes. Although some of them told us they did not want to leave... and that it was better than the way they had lived under the previous rulers.

[dreamnailedit]

I do not understand why they would remain.

[wearingguess]

I think it was because they had begun to believe they had nothing else to offer and no reason to hope for more. Many of them were old enough to remember or even to have participated in the uprising that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and establishment of the new nation... Willingly or not, they traded the abuse and disregard or the aristocracy for the exploitation of the magicians.

[dreamnailedit]

Then, how would you save them?

[wearingguess]

I haven't figured that out yet.

[dreamnailedit]

I see. I have had difficulty saving people too.

I did all I could, but they still died in the end.

[wearingguess]

I am very sorry for your loss.

I hope that
If and when I go back to Magnostadt
I will not have to face the same thing...

[dreamnailedit]

It is alright. They have moved on.

I hope so too.
