Chapter 980 Cap 978: Responsibility Of Those With Power
After Elizabeth had finished praying before the statue of the Goddess Selene, I personally introduced her to Vanessa and my Family.
It turns out that Elizabeth already knew Vanessa, but this happened while she was sleeping, it seems that Vanessa is my sister’s granddaughter, Vanessa’s Mother who rescued her from the persecution of the Church of Light in the past is my sister’s Daughter just as Irina is my daughter.
This means that the leader of the Temple of Blood and leader of the neutral Vampire faction is my older sister’s daughter, which makes Vanessa her Granddaughter according to Vampire lore.
This got a little confusing for me, but my two sisters say that this confusion between Vampire clan relations is normal.
After that we left the Communal Temple, which will now have to be repaired due to the hole in the side, leaving there we went to Tania’s atelier where Elizabeth spent hours seeing many clothes and placing some orders.
So I walked around the city with Elizabeth while we chatted casually, she asked random things based on where we were passing, such as things related to the content available for reading in the library, about the topics covered at school, about the more than unusual architecture of the city, about the Dungeon and about the various races she saw on the streets.
It all seemed like random conversation based on the surroundings as we walked, Natasha even made sure to tell her about the morning workouts the whole town does.
In addition, as it was already night when we left Tania’s studio, Elizabeth saw firsthand the nocturnal hunt, where women go hunting men while men try to escape or hide, this was basically the first policy that was implemented in this city even before it was built.
My sister asked in depth about this “cultural movement” in our city, I explained to her how it started, why we keep it, the training benefits of this practice, and the limits imposed on not involving couples or minors for obvious reasons.
Actually, we weren’t sure either, but we all had high levels, experience, and skills.
When we arrive at my mansion inside the Dungeon, I go to a room to talk only with my sisters.
“I think I gave you a decent presentation about the city and the Dungeon.” (I)
“Yes, it sure was very interesting, the culture you’ve developed in this city to always seek personal improvement and diversity is amazing.” (Elizabeth)
“His solution to various problems such as diversity of races, low birth rate of some races, differences in instincts and libido of these races, interaction of these races and architectural adaptation for these different races was very strange but incredibly effective.” (Elizabeth)
“The culture of this city almost naturally forces people to improve.” (Elizabeth) 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“Thanks!???” (I)
She looked incredibly excited as she spoke, I hadn’t realized that she was analyzing so much of the city’s situation.
Natasha seemed to be finding all this normal and turned to me smiling waiting for Elizabeth to stop talking before explaining.
“Perhaps you don’t know, but Elizabeth was responsible for creating countless kingdoms and Empires throughout the ages, she had great Kings and Emperors as her students.” (Natasha)
“For her, it is impossible to walk through a city without analyzing everything her eyes can see, I can say that she can see more than anyone else.” (Natasha)
“When analyzing a city, the important thing is not just the now, the planning must be done in 3 times, in the short term to solve even temporarily a problem that exists, in the medium term thinking about how to prevent this problem from recurring with much frequency and in the long term by discovering the original cause of the problem to prevent it from recurring again.” (Elizabeth)
“Nobody cares, so let me finish explaining.” (Natasha)
“If she did all that, then why is she called a Living Calamity?” (I)
“Because she not only helped in the creation of Kingdoms and Empires, she was also the one who put an end to many of them.” (Natasha)
“It has destroyed entire nations, caused revolutions, or simply crushed them.” (Natasha)
“If I talk like that he’ll think I’m like you.” (Elizabeth)
Sigh
“I only cause the fall if there is no chance of getting back on track.” (Elizabeth)
“Those with power have responsibility, there will always be people and resources gathering where those with power are, not always combat power will be what determines this, it could be economic power, ideological power or even religious power.” (Elizabeth)
“It’s up to those with power to guide people, to be an example to be followed and the one to show the right path for future generations.” (Elizabeth)
“But if the person in charge forgets about their reason for being there, if they forget their duty and responsibility, then they don’t need to be at the top anymore.” (Elizabeth)
“She has set herself above any King or Emperor and if you don’t meet the minimum standard she sets then there will be nothing left before long.” (Natasha)
So she is called the Living Tyranny because of this, she is literally a tyrant who creates or destroys nations at her will while claiming to be doing right.
“Not everyone has what it takes to lead, many don’t even understand the responsibility of such a position, so I just clear the way for the most competent or depending on how rotten a nation is, it’s better to start from scratch.” (Elizabeth)
“…” (I)
I spent the rest of the night answering many questions, other than how much she was inside me, and spent most of the time quietly resting, now that she has a body she has become much more active.
She wanted to know more about the city, in fact, she wanted to know everything, the problem was that she was too tired, the Awakening Ceremony is too exhausting for me.
I luckily ate a lot along the way and my body was back to normal, at least outwardly, but I was still tired.
I told her that I distribute my tasks and point out who to look for, magical things are in Erica and Rakan’s hands, civil administration is in Ivan’s bony hands, and things related to trade, economics, and materials are in Nira’s capable hands, things related religion is in Vanessa’s hands and things related to the architecture of the city itself are in Leonardo’s hands.
I said all this to get away from her, she didn’t care about my weak state, so I went to eat some more and then went straight to bed to rest.
