Chapter 1350 - This Is Baymard?

K.O!

Lucy completely crushed the Councilmen, though they still refused to believe or admit it. They left the meeting with distorted faces, putting it out there that they would never accept these explanations that Baymard gave.

Both sides were now in a hidden war against themselves. And everything was said to be shown to the many Pyno citizens later.

The key aspect that to change still lay in the people.

Whether they believed the councilmen or Baymard\'s explanation was all up to them.

However, Lucy had put it there that rape, forcefully \'punishing\' women or anything of this sort would be dealt with according to the new Laws of each empire.

Unless someone could bring forth factual evidence that women had such chaotic powers, they wouldn\'t consider allowing such practices to go on.

Lucy also spoke about the throwing of babies, the sacrificial killings of virgins and many other situations that some still practiced.

Yes. Tradition was and will always be important. But so was growth and development.

.

In the past, some people created beliefs solely on fire. Thinking it was some rare thing.

But as humanity developed, some things had to change.

Likewise, some poisons were considered beauty regimens back then. But now, they knew better, knowing that these poisons, taken in mild or heavy doses, could kill a person.

Some traditional practices were good and could be maintained, while others had to go.

Just because it\'s tradition to sacrifice virgins doesn\'t mean it can\'t change.

Look! Even Baymard had its own traditional practices. But those harmful to the citizens were quickly erased.

That said, tradition was tradition... Which was different from political rulings.

As the rulers, government officials, and essential personnel, had the duty of protecting their citizens. So they were just doing their job, traditions aside.

The death rate cannot continue to drop. And the future was something they were constantly worried about.

So they were sorry to say that any traditional practices that were cannibalistic and ruthless would have to go!

Case closed!

In fact, if they wanted to be tyrants, they should\'ve just forced these damn councilmen and everyone else to disband.

However, this wouldn\'t solve the problem. The council had at least 30% support from the Deifer population.

Though the support rate has dropped, it was still a lot. That\'s why they acted cordially and civilized, wanting the message to spread out.

Really and truly, if they had been monitoring all these past years, how come misfortunes and natural disasters still occurred in Deiferus?

Sure, one could blame it on a few women... But weren\'t their methods supposed to be flawless?

Hey! They said it themselves.

\'Flawless.\'

.

Lucy and the other Baymardians wanted to see if the world would truly descend into chaos because of the Deifer Council not monitoring things.

For sure, there were other continents and empires around.

And shockingly, many do believe that a woman\'s cycle was linked to the phases of the moon.

It was fascinating his humans were.

These people didn\'t know each other but came up with the same conclusion, linking the moon to a goddess.

Of course, thanks to those in Zalipnia, they also heard about some other Romain empires that believed in this.

Some didn\'t think it was punishment, while others also believed it was a sign of several ancient curses, with various stories and myths of their own.

In the end, what was common between all these stories were the many philosophers who sat in groups, analyzing and linking the female menstrual cycle to the moon.

That said, Lucy would like to see if hailstorms, lightning and the end of the world would come because more women were seeing their periods too frequently within a year.

She for one, now saw hers 6 months in a year... That\'s every 2 months.

Her body was still healing from all the damage and toll she took growing up in Arcadina.

Their medical science says they should see it 12 times a year for a completely healthy body.

This only meant that she still had a long way to go.

That said, were they going to accuse her of being a wicked demon because she saw hers more than thrice a year?

If it were before Baymard\'s existence, Lucy would\'ve thought something was wrong with her.

But now, she only rolled her eyes, not believing this insanity.

In the end, the councilmen gave their vicious threats, proclaiming that they would never stop!

Heh...

In that case, they shouldn\'t blame anyone when they get arrested for charges of rape, assault and murder!

Like so, the well-awaited meeting ended with Lucy and a few others making the councilmen lower their heads with hatred.

The days flew by with many Baymardians busy as usual.

And in a blink of an eye, their beloved Monarch had returned.

-Coastal Port, Capital City, Baymard--

.

~Thap. Thap. Thap. Thap. Thap!~

The heavy rains poured nonstop, creating a blurry film across the land.

Fall was here.

And all everyone could hear were the loud tunes from the rain.

Tilda and Paula placed their hands in their overly large but warm jackets.

Their eyes moved around, and their mouths might\'ve hung open if not for the cold chattering of their lips.

~Ding Dong.

[Passengers for Ship Angel\'s Fruit to Terique, please head to Gate C12.]

Paula and Tilda the port, looking at the many people going about their way with such expensive clothes and bags.

To the duo, the many things they saw were priceless.

One shouldn\'t talk about the building itself. Magic doors that open on their own, glass windows, walls and signs that lit automatically, moving floors, and even the giant portraits (advertisements), all made them doubt whether they were still in Hertfilia.

Amazing!

The rain had done nothing to lessen their excitement.

"Miss, this is your temporal identification in the city."

"Mine?" Tilda stared at the document, taking it with trembling hands.

Such unique and clean paper... Wouldn\'t It be expensive?

Baymard! Baymard!

What sort of Godly place was this?
