CH757 True Noble
***
The people of Fonterra came to the town square without any expectations in their hearts. They planned to simply listen to the new noble's lip service and leave once he was done listening to the sound of his own voice.
However, when the speech was over, each of them found themselves confronted with a decision they never expected they would ask themselves again—not after the many setbacks they had endured.
Should they ignore the noble and continue to live their lives as they currently were, or should they take the risk and believe this new noble might be different from those who had come before him?
Should they hope or not...?
Hope was a great motivator, driving people to persevere and achieve a great many things.
However, hope was also one of the cruellest things in the world, for arguably there was no experience more cruel—more evil—than having one's hope rekindled and nurtured, only to have it crushed once again.
