(( Apus: Describe your version of a perfect world?))
“A perfect world...?”
[ The female thought for a moment to herself. That’s an interesting question. She could answer this in a variety of ways. ]
“Well, as embarrassing and what the modern people call ‘cliche’ these days... I believe a perfect world for me would be a world where humans don’t have to go against their own kind. We lose so many mothers, fathers, s-sisters... brothers... in so many different circumstances. War, greed, power, the lust and thrill it awakens in some... it’s why I have been so reluctant to have my people go near any weapon of the sorts. I fear having a crime rate in my kingdom. So many, of all genders alone, face such harsh criticism for their skin color, race, religion, gender, and so much more. Some people turn violent for their causes. Of course, I got backlash for leaving my people defenseless, especially with the consequences that followed after due to my army... my poor army... Ah- nevermind that! But I’m afraid of war itself. I never wanted to go against lord Keki and lady Elizabeth...”
“They were family. I was taught under lord Keki too. I’d like a perfect world to be at a time of peace where no one has to hurt each other or fall victim to such a dark thing again. He just wanted to have a child chosen by an angel or to prove worthy. I’m sure he didn’t... he maybe didn’t want all this deep down. I refuse to believe that much. It might have been my fault for being Rilinna’s ‘perfect’ princess. As a role model to my country, I know what the position can do to a person. It’s also why I’ve been so afraid of this responsibility. I’m afraid I’ll change- right to a tyrant. I want a perfect world where no one has to fight anymore and we won’t have to undergo harsh circumstances. I would want to be able to tell my own children they could be what they wanted without the people trying to tell me how to be a parent. I want the sin of lust to stop causing the men and women alike to do such horrible things to other humans against their will. I want the willpower to flourish in this perfect world. I just want everyone to get along happily, no matter our class or circumstances. I don’t even want to kill anyone. It upsets me that this world is still such a harsh and terrible place... yet we can only do so much as well. I want the expectations of others and the pressure to vanish. I’m sure it’s not only me who suffers from that. A perfect world where everyone can fit in and not have to worry about whats going to happen to one of us that night... That’s my idea of it.”
