Two months have passed since Imperium was arrested. Commander Haista was busy interrogating the two people with his own sweet time. They gained a lot of understanding about the Tyrant from these two accounts.
On the other side, Valerian was busy rebuilding the city with the help of a few people from the dragon temple and a few priests who arrived from the temple of mercy. The young man had a simple way of things. He called over all the communities to gather in groups.
For example, the smiths, farmers, merchants, and artisans. All were gathered and asked to select the most considerate person among them. The people were confused, then Valerian said, "The city was governed by a council that a crooked person controlled. Now you all elect a person to represent your community in the council."
Suddenly a man spoke up, "Sir, what if this person selected by the rest becomes addicted to the power and misuses his rights? What shall we do then?"
