They shouldve listened when Prince Joonb.u.m was being generous . The children were a part of the labor force . They had to gather wood, transport water, do the dishes, and watch over the livestock . That was how the children of this world lived . Because of this culture, many people did not send their children to public school . Some commoners even began ignoring Prince Joonb.u.ms orders as they considered it lightly . School provided basic education to all knowledge required to live in the world . And through this education, they were able to find promising individuals to train . They were young, but in time, they would replace the adults . If that day comes… It was also the reason why they stopped expanding . They needed more people . The number of people was enough, but the number of talented individuals was not enough . Jackson looked at the school and became proud of all the accomplishments . Its a new age . Age of change! But not all are accepting it . The n.o.bles especially didnt seem to understand why the commoners were being treated equally . -Sir, n.o.bles are spreading rumors and planning an uprising from within . The biggest problem is Horun . - I should clean it up again… Jackson remembered the intelligence report . The people who resisted the change most were the believers of Horun . The Horun religion dated back to thousands of years . Its presence and influence were the greatest . Up until the disaster, Horun represented the most powerful group of people in the world . However, since the disaster put people in misery and G.o.d did not help its believers, people began to lose faith and its influence dwindled . People starved and lived in misery while the monks and priests of the religion lived lavish lives in their shrines . It was corrupted to its root . Then came their failed crusade against Khalodian . It was led by the empire, but the Horun believers and the pope made it seem like it was a crusade . Yet it failed and they backed away . People began to see the reality of the religion . -The emperor and pope are dead!- -Its a curse from G.o.d!- -Khalodians have used the Devils Weapon!- -Its the a.s.sa.s.sination from new factions!- Various rumors spread throughout the continent as the emperor and pope were killed . Many speculated the Devils Weapon used by Khalodian was behind their death . However, no one dared question the Khalodian Kingdom . They are afraid . Many n.o.bles were killed during the last war . It brought chaos to the land as people considered it a chance to claim the empty s.p.a.ces for themselves . Some of it even consumed the country in civil war . They realize that they too arent safe from ending up with the same fate as the emperor and the pope . The emperor and pope were the two most powerful men of the world, but they were killed without even putting up any resistance . It meant that no one was safe from such an attack . New n.o.bles that came into power realized this and did not raise any suspicions about Khalodian . But the Horuns were different . To them, Khalodian consisted of the followers of a demon and a witch . They did not accept Khalodian and recently declared to call back all of their priests from the land . People knew they were afraid that the woman they called a witch was now the queen of the kingdom . -Its good that they ran away . I was about to take matters into my own hands . - -We- we cant go against Horun directly . Its not a good idea . Commoners berate them, but you shouldnt . Commander, why do you hate them so much? Do you deny G.o.ds existence?- -No, they use the name in vain . They feed off it . I dont want to see that happening on my land . Besides, theyre too arrogant . They make me want to kick their a.s.ses every time . - Jackson remembered how Joonb.u.m was angry at them . However, there were still remnants of Horun believers who were spreading ill rumors throughout the land . Ugh, and it means more work for me .
