Preface:
I wonder if you've ever heard of something called "the Third Wave," or perhaps the Third Wave of freedom's tide? The wondrous word freedom once flowed across this land like a flood bursting through a dam, but it truly has receded just like a flood.
When you think of 塞勒涅, what comes to mind — music, art, or their royalty?
Most Selene people keep tight-lipped about the turmoil of ten years ago, while the outside world usually calls that event the "Spring of Selene." Idealists once prophesied that we would see a new southern continent, but clearly that didn't come to pass. I still remember the outcome of it all vividly: Drefe Erdo was killed, followed by marches, riots, then suppression and liquidation. "Living garbage" officially took office as prime minister. Of course, the royals simply went to Feder for a spring vacation.
The first wave was in Alesia, where the half-elves defined what they called the Republic; the second wave was in the New Continent, where humans proved themselves to be born political animals; I thought the third wave... no, the third wave isn't over yet!
Piron Jugen woke from a nightmare in which he had been cruelly hanged in the street. Outside the window it was still dark, and beyond the door the guards' thunderous snoring could be heard.
Damn it, I didn't hire you to listen to you snore!
Piron thought this to himself. Something seemed to be in the blanket. Yogen reached in, but there was nothing there—just a small wet patch. A wave of sadness and anger seized him. He then felt around on the bedside for the magical oil lamp, and the light illuminated a small patch of the darkness.
The Supreme Commissioner laboriously changed himself into a brand-new pair of underpants, then flipped through the newly arrived documents, going through the motions of reviewing and approving them.
"What the hell do these damn Republicans want? Revolution? They should be sent up Mount Angloro to feed the dragons!" Piron cursed as he said this.
The law and order situation in 奥弗娜 has not been good recently. The Republicans seem to have their own organization now, and some sorcerers have joined them as well. The common folk also seem highly dissatisfied. Of course, 阿席达卡一世 couldn't care less — he only cares about his desserts.
For some reason, this book is still banned from publication in 塞勒涅. The author appears to have received death threats.
