Chapter 435: I Won’t Be Lonely Since You Are with Me
"One example was during the human civilization more than 6000 years ago. All races fought for dominance and the dragon race won so they ruled. It was peaceful for a while as one race ruled and maintained the status quo. But it still didn’t end well due to the differences between races. Especially between the long-lived races in general and humanity which had shorter lives."
Ferdinand also believed that it was more peaceful when the two races were separated. However, that did not mean that there was no conflict between races in Estrella. He said that the long-lived races do not always get along either, but at least the conflicts were not as complicated as when they were living with humans.
"There’s not much conflict in Estrella now because most races were still recovering from the effects of the Great War."
He said most races still had a small population. But once the population grows, it was inevitable that there would be conflict once again. Thus, the King of Estrella was currently just an overseer. Once each race had enough numbers, they would once again have their own rulers like the olden times.
There were already intermarriages due to the lack of numbers so Ferdinand surmised it would be a bit more peaceful than what he had witnessed in the past.
"Does that mean Alwin, Rendell, and the others would go back to their respective races someday?" Arabella inquired.
"Yes. They would leave, eventually. They are assets to their races so once a ruler was chosen, they would likely be summoned back. Of course, they can always come and visit when they want."
"That’s kind of sad. Won’t you be lonely without them?"
"I won’t be lonely since you will be here with me. And we will have children of our own someday, right?" Ferdinand caressed her cheeks and eyed her so lovingly.
’My heart wasn’t ready for that!’ Arabella felt the heat rise to her face. Her heart was drumming in her chest.
[Why isn’t she answering?]
