Chapter 112: Wilful Ignorance
With Kefir flying over the legions, the victorious army walked back to the castle. Throughout the way, people were cheering and Alexandra was brought to tears seeing families reuniting after the war.
As they reached the castle, there was a special barricade created for some people to stand in.
"Those are the families of the people who lost their lives in the war. I’ve asked them here to give them the honor they..." Maximus told her.
Alexandra nodded. "That is a good plan, Tubby..." she said.
[But it would have been a much better plan if there was no war and no deaths...]
"Let’s get on the balcony," Maximus said and Alexandra directed Kefir to land them on the balcony.
The entire congregation of people was shouting and the image of Kefir standing on the tiled roof of the castle with his big wings shielding the emperor, made them feel euphoric. They all knew that with their Emperor’s return, there is going to be prosperity.
Seeing the happy people here, Alexandra didn’t forget the fragile and hopeless people living in the caves under the earth whom she met with Arioch.
Those people need to be liberated too.
[Yeah, I should talk to Tubby about it afterward. For now, let him revel in his victory.]
Alexandra with a smile took a couple of steps back. Maximus waved his hands at the people and tried to calm down the shouts but the people were not stopping the chants.
Alexandra heard the sound of footsteps dashing at them. She looked to her side to see Marcus dashing towards her with a big smile on his face. He looked like a child who has gotten his wish. She truly adored this boy. He had a pure heart one she rarely comes across among humans. There are a few others too, like Flavia, but even she has some darkness.
