Lord Mayor Frederick of Lindau
As Frederick watched the street and its people as he rode down the street from the mayor's manor to the city hall. The city had prepared itself well for this year's winter, and it showed in the residents' mood as they went about their days today. There was no hunger seen in most of their eyes. No unease and trembling. No … desperation to speak of.
Oh, there will always be some whose life was not great, someone who just didn't prepare enough, someone who gambled or drank away their money away, but that was the nature of life. He could not save everyone and it would be foolish - even blasphemous - to think that he could save everyone.
Hell, he wasn't even a saint, and the saints can't save everyone!
No, he remained happy with what he managed to achieve.
