Chapter 7: (Self Edited) The Distant War
I spent three years learning how to ride birds with Rook and knitting from Suzuya. I also did shepherd jobs, while writing about my life in the book at my spare time. I turned seven years old.
When my seventh birthday passed about two months ago, gloomy subjects had multiplied at home.
I lived in an environment with very little information. Nevertheless, I had lived for seven years, so some information came in.
It seemed the people like Rook, Suzuya and me were called Shanti in this country. Shanti was a word pronounced as it was based on the original language. In a sense, we were people of Shan.
The tribe of Shan people was very long lived. It wasn’t uncommon to live until 80 years old if they lived safely. Apparently, they reached the limit of the longevity once they became centenarians. In my opinion, most of Shan people were nice people even though they didn’t think too much about the longevity. In addition, the Shanti were strong against cold. They lived in the north of the continent.
Shanti used to have a unified state called Shantilla Great Empire in the northern part of the continent long time ago. However, there were ups and downs, and it collapsed. The reason was because of an Allied Force of another race called Kuran.
When the Allied Force entered the capital city, the Great Empire became loose, and the Kings of each state became independent. The political system of Shanti was unique. I didn’t understand well, but from the old Shantilla Great Empire, the ruler was decided to be a woman. In other words, the Shantilla Great Empire was ruled by a Queen for many generations, and even after the dissolution of the Empire, the kingdoms had been ruled by a Queen.
Several countries that I wasn’t aware had been dissolved and every time that happened, it was done by the Kuran country. They were overthrown one by one.
And the last remaining kingdom was Kilghina Kingdom, and it seemed to be the Shaluta Kingdom where I was now.
