"We are not slaves, we want change! We are not slaves, we want change!" We were shouting in front of the Godking's palace, this was the third day, it all started some days ago. I was drinking with some friends in a bar when I've met him, the man entered the bar using the same clothes as us, ragged ones, cheap ones, and with him, more people came into the bar, his followersโฆ then the man would start a speech.
"Who is he?" my friend Milena asked
"I've heard about him. I don't know his real name, but he is called "The Preacher", he goes from bar to bar telling people to change" answered my other friend Rezno.
"Change what?" I've asked
"Everything Victor, but this isn't the best part, it's said that at the end of the speech he always pays for one round for everyone"
"Is he rich?"
"apparently yes"
I was puzzled by him so I really heard everything he told us until...
"You, young man" he said pointing to me, and everyone in the bar looked to me. I didn't know what to do.
"how old are you?" he asked
"Iโฆ I amโฆ fourteen years old"
"When have you begun to work?"
"When I was five"
"the same as me"
"do you know when the bourgeoisie children began to work?"
"no... I don't know"
"depends from family to family, some begun to work at fifteen, others until eighteen. I asked you, is this fair? why those kids may have a childhood but you don't?
"No... it isn't fair."
"I've lost all my siblings, three died while working, has something happened similarly to you?"
"I've lost one brother who went to work on a coal mine in another city a long time ago, we never meet him again, we think he died there, and my younger sister lost her fingers while working, and now since she can't find a work she sells her bodyโฆ she is just a child" I answered almost crying.
The preacher looked despised
"Don't you think this has to change"
"Yes, I doโฆ"
For the rest of the night, I heard each word he said, I even became one of his followers and asked for his name... Mikhail.
At home, I tried to convince my family to participate in the Strike, I explained everything to them the same way he explained to me, it had some resistance at the start, but eventually, they all agreed to participate.
The more I've walked with him the more I've learned about the cause, sometimes he would speak some difficult words, but he would explain, but when he was drunk he would tell us some strange ideas, ideas about what he called democracy, one day I asked him about what if the Godking created a government like that. He answered "He doesn't have the kind of power to create anything, and even if he had, would he want it? sharing political power with others will only weaken him, if this government was to be created, we would be the ones to create it through a revolution" I took his word to my heart, I didn't know but I've found myself in him, I would want to be part of this, to make history... to create a government where everyone is equal.
We are at the third day of the strike, the Godking himself didn't appear yet, he was supposed to help its people but nothing until now. We were near the wood platform in the middle of the mob, where Mikhail was stirring the people, far away from the palace gate, and after a long time, some soldiers came and forcibly arrested Mikhail, I and others went directly to help him escape, but he didn't want it.
I took his place in the wood platform and stirred the people like him, I wasn't the only one now, people were more in disarray, but they were way more angered than ever because of the arrest of the Preacher.

The wooden platform wasn't that big so just me, my sister and my mother were on it, but both were sitten while I was standing, my brothers were scattered in the mob, and my father was near us on the ground.
Everything changed when I heard the sound of shots following for more shots, people entered in panic and begun to run over each other.

I was so annoyed by what was happening, that not even paid attention to my surroundings, some people were desperate thinking they might die, some others became more aggressive and tried to fight back throwing stones or trying to jump the walls, my father tried to stay near us but as someone pushed him he felt on the ground and got stomped to death. Mother and sister wanted to leave, but I said the safest place was where they were standing and kept them with me. after the mob fade away we saw father's body

It has been almost three days since the strike has begun, I was in front of the main gate. At first look, It could be seen as I was protecting the palace of this crowd, but I couldn't care less for it, I was just waiting, it has been said that the Godking may appear, and if he comes maybe his son come together.

Many years ago I used to live outside the city, in a small village where my family would breed and sell horses for a living, my father taught me almost everything when I was a child, how to feed, how to ride, how to clean, how to breed them, I helped him a lot on his job,
But it all changed when my father and mother went to the soon to be called "bloody festival", they didn't take us with them, I was supposed to watch Katya my younger sister until they return but they never come back when some friends told me what happened I couldn't understand why the Godking could allow something like that to happen, I had a crisis of faith. We were taken to the church orphanage where we lived some years.
The orphanage was created by the Holyprincess many years ago and all the money for food, clothes, and toys, and even transport was provided by your holiness, The orphanage was huge, built similarly to a church, outside the capital in the woods, some soldiers would always be with us in case of monsters appeared.
There were almost one hundred kids in the orphanage, and the majority were girls. The reason Father Macken told me was that boys could make more money in the slums and some poor families would prefer to send their girls to the orphanage than to live in misery, even then I would question myself why the Godking would allow such a thing. If I were to be a God I would not allow anything bad to happen to my people.
But everything was destroyed for me when some people came, they were using robes similar to the priests but white instead of black, they were servants of the Holy family.
"Mr Pavlo, this orphanage only exists by the graces of the Holyprincess, she won't allow that more orphans are taken by the Holyprince" said Father Macken, the chief priest of the orphanage. he had short black hair and was quite young for a priest
"This is not up to you to decide, my orders are to pick the most beautiful flowers for Your Highness. This is The Holyprince demand! Aren't you going to comply? You know what we can do here if you don't comply"
"The Holyprincess will know about this" Father Macken said biting his lips and went running away, I didn't know at the time, but he went to the capital with the orphanage's horse trying to warn the princess, which he did, but it was useless.
"You were chosen to be the personal priestesses of the Holyprince, It's a great honour! You have a half-hour to gather all your belongings, and you shall be taken to the Holyprince palace." spoke one of the men.
I was lost when he said that, one part of me wanted that she left and had a better life at the palace, it might be a better life than the life of an orphan, but something was bothering me.

"And my brother? May he comes with me?" asked Katya
"No, only the girls selected are allowed to go"
"So I don't wanna" she said
"You don't have any choice little one"
"No, I don't wanna go!" she said stubbornly
The man slapped her face and she began to cry, when I saw that I tried to fight them back, I tried to punch the man called Pavlo, but one of his subordinates punched me in the belly, I fell on the ground and they started to kick me on the ground
"BORIS!!!" she screamed
"Let's do this, if you won't stop crying, won't leave voluntary, we will kill this boy, he is your brother doesn't he? will you let your brother die?" said Pavlov
"I will, but please stop beating my brother!" she shouted while trying to forcibly stop crying.
She went running to her room to gather her stuff and hide her tears.

"Someone go with her in case she tries to escape" said Pavlov to his man
They hold me on the ground until it was time to leave, and when Pavlov and his men left I followed stealthily, all the girls entered a carriage outside the orphanage and left, I tried my best to follow it running, but after some time I couldn't run anymore, I was too tired to keep going, I lost sight of it but I kept walking until I finally stopped at a small farming village at night.
I was so thirsty that I drank water directly from the river that crossed the village, I saw a stable and decide to steal one of the horses. I broke into the stable and approach slowly the horses in order to not scare them and when the animal grows used to me I took him outside before mounting.

I left the village as soon as possible before they realised the theft, I kept following the only road until it came to a fork on the road, one side would lead to the capital, the other I didn't know, I thought because he was the Holyprince he would go the capital, but I was wrong.
I went to the cathedral and said that I was sent by father Macken.
"No, you didn't," said father Macken, who was behind me
"what are you doing here?" I asked him
"What YOU are doing here, Boris?" he asked me.
"I came to rescue Katya, and you?"
"I came to warn your Holiness the Holyprincess about the wrongdoings of her brother, but how did you come here? we are far away from the orphanage!"
" Iโฆ borrowed a horse... I will give it back later, but this doesn't matter, we need to rescue them now, the Godking's palace is almost here"
Father Macken's face looked a mix of disappointment and pride.
"Borisโฆ The Holy prince isn't here, he is on vacation and went to his own palace at Nimbur.
Nimbur was a small port city south, it was said to be one of the most beautiful cities of the kingdom.
"I will go there"
"Borisโฆ" he tried to stop me, but I ignored him, I was almost leaving.
"They will be a sacrifice to the Gods"
"what do you mean?" I asked
"Few people know, but every few years the Holyprince realize a secret ceremony to protect the realm by sacrificing young woman"
"why?"
" I already told you, to protect this realm, to protect us"
"From what?"
"Demons and monsters, but the princess disprove this ritual and tries her best to stop her brother"
I Ignored his last words and left, I never saw demons, and there are no monsters anymore they were all hunted down.
I stopped at any village or city in the way, always asking directions to Nimbur and stealing food, when I got at NImbur's palace there were few guards, it wasn't difficult to break in.
Inside the palace I could hear the muffled screams of girls, I followed it leading to a door that had a staircase, and downstairs they were, It was a shady room with a light illumination, and in the middle of the room the Holyprince was raping one of the girls in a bed, while the other girls were chained at the wall, my sister with then, but she was already almost lifeless.
While he was distracted I approach his back, I quickly looked for anything I could use as a weapon, I took a bronze candlestick and beat at his head with all my strength, he just flinched and turned to me, I thought that could pass him out.
"Boris run!" said my sister who saw me.
"Boris, hmmโฆ brother or boyfriend? no, it doesn't matter"
I didn't know what to do I was walking backwards when he punched me in the head, he was way stronger than me so I fainted, when I woke up I was also chained and hanging in the wall.
"ahh finally, the boy finally woke up" said the prince.
He was just waiting for me to awake while my sister was chained in his bed crying nonstop, then it began, she was screaming in pain, but he wouldn't stop and would punch her face sometimes, but his eyes would be only looking at me, he was feeling pleasure by being watched by the brother of her victim.
"I will kill you! I will kill you!" I was shouting at him while trying to break free
This only made him goes harder on my sister, in the end, he killed her in front of me, cutting her throat, and took her chaplet full of blood, I couldn't pronounce any sound, I didn't believe what was happening"
๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐ฏ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต๐ฎ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ, ๐ฏ๐ฐ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ด๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ.
He came to me and beat the shit out of me, he was enjoying each punch, when I wasn't able to resist anymore I was the next after my sister.
"I normally don't do this with men, you should be honoured he said."
I thought he would also kill me, but he did nothing, he left me there, I don't know if I slept after hours of being hanged there, or if I passed out, but when I woke up I was on the shore of a river. I didn't know why he set me free, but at that moment I swear to myself I would kill him!
I became a soldier, not because I believed the Godking, or loved this country, it was the easier way to kill the Holyprince, I would gain weapon, training and maybe someday I would be escalated to protect those demons. Until that time comes, I will fake to be loyal.
During the strike, I was a soldier near the entrance gate waiting for the Holyprince to appear. if the Godking appears his son might be at his sideโฆ but then I heard a sound at my side, one man shoot one of the soldiers at my side and was now leaving, the other soldiers have begun to shoot to the skies which let the mob desperate, people who tried to throw stones at the soldiers or jump the wall were shot.
I followed the man who started the shooting, he entered an alley between some stores and I knocked him.
"What have you done? why did you shoot the guards?" I asked him while punching the face of the man who ruined my plans with the back of my rifle
"One saint ordered me!" he said promptly with blood on his mouth.
I was enraged by the failure of my plans, but I couldn't kill him, he might lead me to the prince.
๐๐/๐๐/๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ.
I was seated at my office in the palace, all I could hear before was the sound of the angry commoners, they were refusing to work unless their conditions get better, my advisers told me that the working conditions are the same as they always were, the saints told me that the conditions were better than the past, and the people were in front of the palace shouting that they wanted to change, I didn't know who to believe.
My advisors told me I couldn't show weakness, I should do nothing and it will resolve itself, I heard them in the first days but that strike kept going and kept going, in the third day I choose to speak with Mikhail, The Preacher, the leader of the commoner's mob, apparently, I am not in his best regards. The angels gathered a report which said he lost his mother and sister in the bloody festival and his older brother in the Visogi war.
When I met him I could feel the hostility in his mind, I could have killed him or ordered the soldiers to kill him, but I don't think he would act improperly, or try to attack me, he seemed a rather intelligent man for a poor commoner, and if I killed him it would make the commoners revolt, and causing even more deaths, I don't want more deaths, there is so much blood already on my hands, and this time maybe my family might die.
Once I was a Saintduke beneath Markov, but he wasn't a good Godking, he would enter whatever war he wanted, he was a good military leader, had more blessing than any other Godking in the world, conquered a lot of lands and blessings, but he wasn't a good ruler, he didn't like politics, he just wanted to keep battling and waging wars endlessly, not even when his vassals demanded to stop he would, he attacked one of his own vassals who opposed him and started a civil war, in the end, we defeated him, I killed the former Godking with my bare hands but I lose a lot of friends in that day.
With his death, I inherited his blessings and became the new Godking, finally peace... or so I hoped. After the civil war, the demands of the dukes became more and more demanding, since they fought at my side, and in the beginning, I complied with their demands, gave them more powerful blessings, but it only weakened me while strengthened them, many years later they tried a coup d'etat and my first daughter died because of it, I organized a purge of all aristocracy after the coup failed, innocent or not, the Saintdukes were a danger to my family I couldn't stand, and at that time I wanted to get revenge for Talya.
Almost all of the Saintdukes died, the few who escaped had trash blessings and were still hunted by these days, they had a lot of knowledge that could be fatal. I became more powerful than ever after the purge, my loyal vassals ceded the powerful blessings they earned during the purge when I ordered them, I think they were scared that they might be the next if not, they were probably right.
I was so powerful I got cocky, I began to sell the trash blessings for an enormous amount of money, blessings that altered the hair colour, or made farts don't smell, blessings that weren't useful for combat, but even though it could provide someone with eternal life. I didn't think it would affect my government, but before my eyes could see they became more politically influential than I anticipated, they controlled weapon factories, food industries, great farmable land.
But the worst thing was that technology evolved too greatly, at old times, nothing could kill me, an arrow, a sword an axe? I could obliterate anyone with fire before he gets near me, but now, guns, bombs, it could all be fatal for someone with a blessing. if I tried a new purge, or a new civil war started... my family could die, even me If I got careless, so I have no option other than to compromise with them, give them positions on the government, let them embellish their projects, approve some laws, keep selling trash blessingsโฆ and for a long time peace remained, a fragile peace, but peace nevertheless.
And now all I can hear is silence while the leader of the workers is in the dungeon of this palaceโฆ

"Father you ordered the shooting of the commoners!" My daughter shouted entering my office angrily.
My daughter hates me, personally, I think she was the one who embraced the idea of being a Godking the most, she doesn't even remember the time when she was mortal, she was so young when I gave her a blessing, she still looks like a girl in her sixteens when the ageing process ceased. And because of how she portrays herself she gets outraged every time a disaster happens, and she blames me. She thinks I am all-knowing, seeing and powerful, but between those three I'm only powerful.
"No, I didn't do anything, I was negotiating with their leader when the shooting started, apparently the saints ordered the soldiers to answer with fire in case violence broke out, and other saints hired a man to shoot at a soldier"
"What how can you allow that!"
"I didn't know, they were doing this at my back"
"YOU ARE THE GODKING! " she said, I couldn't say anything and she had turned his back on me wile leaving
"At least act as one" she said before leaving the office disappointed.

And to finish my miserable life, my wife doesn't speak to me in decades, we cheat on each other for ages, our marriage is only for appearances to the commoners, and to keep our alliance with the Holy Kingdom of Ackerland, we see each other only on special occasions.
I thought life would be more peaceful when I purged the Saintdukes, but even now there isn't one day I can sleep in peace, I should never have become the Godking!
