Chapter 218: Lost Dream (13)
As winter approached, the number of unemployed people roaming the streets increased.
Not only did the unemployed rise in number, but shops also closed down. If you think about the cause-and-effect relationship, the shops closed, and the people they employed became unemployed.
The days grew colder, and both food and warmth became scarcer.
The students at the Royal Academy didn’t know much about this.
It wasn’t until mid-winter, when it was time to prepare for finals, that they started to realize.
But an event occurred that made it unavoidable for them to know.
A protest group showed up in front of the Royal Academy.
Of course, the protestors were quickly dispersed by the army stationed around the palace.

I’m just living there without much thought.
I really don’t have to do anything at all.
