Chapter 76: Chapter 76 - Not a Simple Commoner
Hearing him say that I was a little shocked as all the stories that I have heard until now that had any importance to history were all done by either someone from the royal family or from the great houses.
And even among them there were a few people among them who were not royalty or had any connections to any great houses but they were only giving roles of army leaders and city defenders and nothing more that could make them any more distinguishable.
"Ohhh, so who was this... simple commoner?"
Hearing my question, The elderly man smiled for a moment as he shook his head and said to me "My bad, I shouldn\'t have said the word \'simple commoner\', if any of what my master had told me than she was anything other than simple."
I was shocked again but this time more intensely. The fact that the Alliance Federation was created by a commoner was a shock to me but to think that the one who created it was a girl was even more shocking.
I was not an Anti-Feminist to say but if what he said was true than the person who created this gigantic federation was a girl and most incredibly she created it at a time where women didn\'t have much value unlike now.
I wanted to hear more so I told him to continue "What! She was a girl... I mean the one created this was a women!"
He didn\'t take my words in displeasure as he nodded and told me "Yes, she was. She created this federation by her own sheer will."
"Can you tell me more about her?"
"Of course I can, I may not know the full details nor even if what I am going to say may not completely be true... Now where to start?"
"Hmm... Yes. The time back then was the 3500s. Back then there wasn\'t any Alliance Federation nor were there people who were holding those similar goals."
"It was a time of chaos and suffering left behind by the echoes of the war that the four kingdoms fought for more than two thousand years. The people were starving, the kingdoms were having famine problems all over their cities. The war left the people torn apart by the cries of their fallen friends and families."
"Back then because it was such a worse time and people were having problems with gathering food, the people who had power ruled over the small folk with an iron fist and made them work day and night for resources."
I cut in as I ask "Weren\'t there great houses back then. Didn\'t they help the people who needed them?"
"Indeed they once did... Until starvation also started hitting them like a tidal wave and they did something what they deemed was necessary... they joined those oppressors who used the commoners."
I widened my eyes as I heard him saying that.
He looked at me and for a second lost his sense then he suddenly said to me.
"My Bad, I just remembered the great houses didn\'t join those people."
I sighed before I heard his next sentence which was...
"They used those monsters for their own good."
...Shocking
I looked blankly at him.
"And it continued like that for a few years until one day a women suddenly sprung up from who knows where with strength that defied laws."
"She heard the peoples cries and took their pleas for help and launched a attack on the great houses that were behind that mess."
"...She launched a fight against all the great house."
"Stupid, right?"
"Yeah there is no way she could have wo-"
"But she won."
"-n with their being s-" I stopped as what he said was finally h by me and I just stayed silent.
"...WHAT! SHE WON."
"Hehe. Yes she did and it shocked the whole world too, to think that someone who was as strong as the true ancestor was actually among them. And she didn\'t just defeat them but she also told them to give priority to the common people."
"Wow! To think that there was actually someone as strong as her. And she also told them to protect the Class D subjects too."
"No, she did not."
"Hmm?"
"I don\'t know what it was but she clearly had disgust for the Class D subjects as out of everyone there was she hated them to the core... but she was also kind enough to not do something like do genocide to a large group of people."
"But she also didn\'t do anything to protect them as well as you can see that the Class D subjects are still in so much sorrow."
"Well.. What happened after that?"
"After that she saw through the process of everything in the world like a deity with unimaginable powers but didn\'t do anything chaotic."
"As time went on for hundreds of years, the people started progressing and becoming capable by themselves and the famine problems were also decreasing and new promising hopes were rising."
"But she knew that she wasn\'t Immortal, at one point she too would one day had to leave this place. and when she leaves there will once again be wars that would tear this beautiful world apart."
"So she thought of how she could protect the people even after leaving them. And she though of building a custom force of hers that will be able to protect the people when she died."
"She toured the whole kingdoms and sought out people who were potentially valuable and had the honest and just capabilities to protect her ideals and taught them everything she knew."
"669 years later she was able to create a force of people who were only 8 in number. But their strengths were otherworldly and they held so much mana that it was simply endless. What really mattered about them wasn\'t there strength nor mana.
It was their loving nature that could blend in with nature and achieve zen. The people loved them too as they helped them in every problem they would need help with."
"And as time slowly went on the lady knew that her time was close to leaving this realm so she told her students to create a family that would help them in protecting whoever needed protection ( Other than Class D )."
"Her students listened to her command and created an organization that they implanted in the heart of the kingdom stopping the Kingdoms from ever launching any wars to one another."
"But eventually the time came and the lady too had to return to the lord\'s embrace as she took her last breath. Hearing her death almost everybody were in grief and her students too were in a state of extreme anguish." The elderly man said with evident sadness
Hearing that I too felt the sadness that radiated from the elderly man and sighed.
"...All stories must come to an end and her too also ended that way... but her legacy still leaves on in everyone who is a member of the organization, in everyone who is a member of this family, in everyone who lost their lives protecting the very ideal that is the column of this peaceful time."
