Day Forty-Eight: Gaius
Now it came upon someone it really should have done much sooner. A tall man in a black business suit being approached by so many people if he wasn't so tall he'd be completely subsumed by their tides.
"The king..." the soldier said with a bit of awe.
"Finally, someone worthy of being on the view," the bartender commented.
"What's so good about him coming down and rolling over Rashugal and everyone being happy about it?" the old man said in a huff. Even crossed his arms.
The blonde chuckled at his little tantrum. "Oh? I think he's quite a fine man otherwise. I wouldn't be able to hob-knob with upper society under old Rashugal," she stated her preference.
Kinda shocking considering her demeanor. "You some working slob like me?" the bartender added.
"Well, not like you, but I earned my pay and I'm certainly glad I can spend it how I deserve," she smiled at the thought.
"Hail to the king," the bartender rose an empty glass in celebration.
"Glad so many forget he invaded us... sure, that's a wonderful king," the red-head sounded annoyed. "Who wants a brute like that for King?"
The soldier glared at her. "Nachtigal was worse than a brute. Maybe you'd ended up a victim of his experiments if he was still in power."
"Propaganda and lies!" she shouted.
"Hold on kids," the bartender cut in. "Trust me, Nachtigal did all those things and worse but Gaius ain't exactly perfect either. He was gonna let Elympios crash through one hell of an upheaval so Rieze Maxia wasn't in danger."
"So you're saying our leaders aren't perfect?" the blonde asked, amused at it all.
"Is anyone?"
No one can answer that.
