Lord Shadow

Chapter 1159: To miss home and the people in it (2)

If Azief is given the choice, he would like to ask her to step down from the High Chancellor position. It is not something that is suitable for her. 

And she also knows it. The only reason she was in that position in the first place is because she wanted to help her brother.

But in the end, he did not ask her to do that. He knows how she loves his brother and he did not want her to be torn.

So, the only thing he could do is helping her a bit from behind. He sighed again. 

The wind blows across his body. 

The breezy wind of the morning usually is very cold. But since Azief body is basically normal temperature most of the time, un less he desires not to, he felt nothing

He sleeps half naked. And so he wakes up half naked. His six pack abs are like a washing board. In the past, he had always wanted to have this kind of physique. Of course, the reason he wanted to is because he felt he would be healthy

But now that he has it, it is not that amazing. Of course, he likes the aesthetic beauty of it but since he could control laws physical body physique is not that important.

Though, Sofia likes to play with it. And he shakes his head again.

‘Stop thinking about unrelated stuff’ This is what happens when he loses focus. He sighed again and then went back into his room area.

He then goes to the bathroom. 

There is a large bathtub in his room as his room is more like a deluxe suite having all the necessary facilities.

Even if he did not step out from this room, all of his needs could be satisfied.  Even though he said it is a room, the room itself has an area like a living room, a modern designed kitchen a few other rooms and even a recreation room.

Azief would bet that when the people of this world occupied this palace in the future and look at this room, they would probably think of it as the height of luxury.

He quickly takes a hot bath and he soak himself for half an hour before he felt it was hot enough

There are times where Azief would dull his balance of temperature in his body. 

If not, he could not enjoy the simple things in life since his body would immediately reverted the heat and maintain a normal body temperature whether it is cold or hot. 

He dries himself of and then with a click of a finger his usual clothes materialized over his body and in just one second he had already fully clothed. 

He went out of his room and slowly walk on the hallways. Every once in a while, he would see the servants.

Azief had been on the Seresian world for almost five months. He had now familiarized himself with this world. 

And he also got all the details of what had happened. Azief who was walking saw some of the servants doing their duties.

The palace looks a bit more crowded than when he first came here. At that time, the Palace of Altayera half of them is covered in ice. 

While half of them is built by the people of this world and some assistance from the robots that is derived from Orvanian technology

But Katarina had dismantled her Ice Palace. The only reasons she erected the Ice Palace was because the Palace of Altayera at that time was under construction.

Katarina did not entirely rely on modern methods of architecture to build the palace. Because she did not want this Palace to be simply the work of Orvanians 

She did not want the world after this think that only she contributed to this Palace. She wanted the people of this world, elves dwarves and humans to also build this palace so that they would feel a sense of belonging toward this Palace.

This Palace would not only be the place where the officials would live, it would also be the place where most decision that affect the world would be made.

As he walks along the hallways, he could see even more furnishings and furniture all over the Palace that is being added

He rarely stays in the Palace. At least not this month. There were many things that he had done outside the Palace this month.

Since the Seresian world is developing, there are something that he had to do and that made him quite busy sometimes. 

There were some monsters that is left behind, monsters that the three races on this planet could not hope to beat with their current technology or prowess.

So, Azief had been hunting them and killing them. 

And it is not like it did not come without benefit. 

There is energy core in these beast and monster cored that he could use to strengthen his body and stimulate other function of his body

And it would also be good as a gift to Sina. With all kinds of rare exotic ingredients, he is quite confident that Sina could rise in her level 

It was only a few days ago that he was back inside the palace. And it isn’t until today that he walks again this hallway.

He did not pay that much attention before but now as he slowly walks the area, he taken the time to look around him

It was only a few days but changes are almost exponential in this palace. New artworks, new furnishing, new everything.

So, it no longer looks as empty as before. There are also many more people living in the Palace. 

There are also the Parliament halls in the Palace. It is the place that they envisioned where most of the decision for this world will be made

That is one of the reason why there are so many people now present in the Palace.

Katarina decided to train the leaders of the three races to become leaders of this world.

Azief was also helping her these past few months. 

Katarina was to help the elves and dwarves while Azief would help the human leaders

Before the human leaders was transported here, they are the leaders of their people, kings and Queens.

As the slave world was still in medieval era most of them is ruled by a King or a monarch. If not that a strong aristocracy

Azief prefers a monarchy based rule instead of democracy. at least in this world. Democracy requires a thinking population.

Orvanians probably is well suited to such methods of governance because they could easily see through the bullshit of others. 

They could differentiate sound policy or just emotion based rhetoric.

For democracy to truly works certain control needs to be relinquished. But there must be a limit 

Everything done to the extreme would be ruined. 

Earth however did not have a good track record when they choose their leaders in a democracy setting.

And sometime the blame could not be put solely onto the voters. Before the Fall, there were so many statistics that could be falsified, news that could be manipulated pushing a certain agenda as long as it is funded by money, studies released by focus group that is sponsored by megacorporation all aimed in influencing the people.

Candidates would use dividing tactics appealing to the majority regardless whether the majority thinking is right or wrong.

Instead of bringing people together, most politic aims to divide the people of the servant class to serve the ruling class

Only in democracy, the ruling class could always deflect the blame to the people.

Democracy in the beginning is always full of hope and idealism.

But a true democracy had never truly been achieved and it is probably impossible. And even a true democracy is achieved, will it be a utopia world?

Especially a democracy based in capitalism

In the end, such system is not good for the people. Of course for the people with capital, it is their world and their heaven.

Because in capitalism, the one with the capital is the only one benefiting from it. 

Of course sharing everything with each other also could not work especially not for humans. 

Azief had seen some alien civilization that truly could share everything with each other without having the selfishness of humans

But the reason why that alien race could successfully enact such method of civilization is because the culture of their race had always been about sharing 

It is an ideological method of governance driven by their shared culture. However, in the history of humanity, it is a history of war, of violence, of selfishness

It is then unreasonable to think that human could simply bridge the gap of tens of thousands of years of culture and expect people not to be selfish.

And capital is the building blocks of all types of governance.

What Azief had seen was that in capitalism, at least in his world, there are more people suffering from it
