I was awakened from a state of half-sleep by the sounds of gunfire coming from outside.
What I saw made me sad – with her, the hope of the people of Heckel for a happy future definitely died.
There was this passage about Albea:
When this unpleasant incident ended, I continued to explore the city, go shopping, and learn about local attractions until I came across the local queen accompanied by a well-armed guard. As I learned from the locals, Albea Veiling regularly toured the city in her free time from other work to learn about the state of affairs in El Ragn and how people live, in order to personally identify the most pressing problems and the most effective ways to solve them.
But I don't really believe that Albea's murder would be described like this – she was shot in one of the alleys, like some kind of cur, there was no guard, the narrator just ran up to the body and started examining the scene. So, I am more inclined to think that Rafaga was killed.
— Life is stupid. — Fragment slowly emptied a wooden goblet filled to the brim and, upon completion of this process, loudly slammed it on the surface of the table at which he was sitting. — You grumble at your boss, pay taxes, but what's the point... The wise man from Clematis was right, it's not for nothing that the word "work" has the root "slave". I wish I could shoot myself in the head or put a noose around my neck to finally end my suffering.
