Chapter 255: The One Who Doesn’t Clear The Stages (1)
Time continued to pass quickly. Although the first Shellmount chairwoman of the Fire Water Council was just elected, not much chaos ensued. Even those who had doubts about the new chairwoman immediately dropped them when they heard she chopped off the red dragon’s head.

“This isn’t just the country of Terras now!” Anastasha said excitedly. It seemed she was really into the story. “The country our children will create will be greater than the Roman Empire! Do you realize how wonderful this is, Gong-Ja?”
“Anastasha, I am a high school dropout. Please speak in an actual language I can understand.”
“Ah, okay. Initially, only Romans lived in Rome. However, when foreigners from other colonies were allowed to take part in politics, and when rural religion became that of the nation, Rome finally became a great empire that embraced everyone.” She cupped her cheeks. “But Rome had its limits. Do you know what those limits were?”

She cleared her throat. “Well, the Roman empire had many shortcomings, but I think it fell mostly because the interests of each group weren’t clearly divided.”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
