"This is my hometown. Since Iâve worked with the merchant guild for a long time, most of the people here know me. And I know many of them as well," Leo began.
He had traveled extensively across the territory as a leader of the guild, especially handling essential goods. It was impossible for the people not to recognize him.
"I know very well how they live. Most of them are struggling in poverty."
Baron Magvel had been a greedy lord, imposing exorbitant taxes and finding every possible way to squeeze more from the people.
Naturally, life under such a lord had been harsh. The people had been crushed under the weight of excessive taxation and relentless exploitation.
Watching the joyful expressions of the people, Julien couldnât help but mutter quietly.
"If only the magic beasts didnât exist..."
And if people like Leo were the ones wielding power and governing.
Surely, they could change the world.
Their role, Julien and Deneb realized, was to support good-hearted individuals who made a difference. This was what they could do best.
