Chapter 2

Roland was just as reed, and despair were all they hadNo roundThe city was so stricken with poverty and starvation that nobody had the energy left to cry

A country left like that would norather to for should be able to stop theh this had gone on for a long tins of revolution to be found

Of course there were uprisingsMany people with strong leadershi+p abilities appeared to lead thes ended without ever reaching the full support of the people many, many times

Miller had watched it happen tiain

His own father had been a leader of one said uprisingMiller had seen his decapitated head roll along the dirt when he was seven years old

He’d screamed as his head fell

“The embers we fanned… won’t disappear just because I’ve died!” He yelled, and then his life was over

At the ti to Miller

The organization his father created to revolt as destroyed

Two assassins dispatched from the Hidden Elites killed everyone in itThey didn’t just stop there, eitherThey also killed everyone who the people of his organization greeted in day-to-day life

And so Miller hid froe nineThat was how he learned to hide hi outHe waited in the slums where the nobles didn’t dare to co that’d let him make an official appearance in the world, so to speak

And then one day… a noble’s carriage appeared

Miller had his allies attack it, then saved the nobles inside himself

The noble invited him to join his private armyHe’d made his appearance

Two years later, the noble diedMiller was officially transferred to Roland’s military

Naturally, he was just treated worse than slave thanks to the fact that he was from the slumsEven the soldiers born to commoners hated himBut he didn’t mind

Because he’d seen it many times beforeHe saw his father and the other rebel leaders killed tis that needed to be done

That was how the noble he’d served under for two years died, too - slowlyHe burnt a weak poison into smoke for the noble to inhale as he slept until he died in order to profit

Advertisenment was to patrol the sluainst the nobilityTo kill his old allies ere against this country

So his former allies called him a backstabberHis current allies called him a backstabber, too

ObviouslyBecause could kill his allies without paling in the slightest

He didn’t hesitateHe didn’tcalled a backstabber at allHe could already see the path he was on, after allHe could see what he was supposed to do

He just had to keep this up

He didn’t mind even when people spat on hi on that day, too

The people looked at him with hatred because of the path he’d takenBecause he ed the people of this hell harshlyBut it was because of hione without anyamok in the past few

There was no reason for the powerless to bet their lives on that sort of thingThose blessed with power could take care of it, after all

The nature of a revolution was one that hurt those around the revolutionariesTheir fahborsAll were considered equally guilty and executed regardless of their crimes

Say he fanned the flames of revolution once ht flame like his father before hi long enough to give hi his head against the worldSo he kept his head down

He didn’t think of fighting back even when people spat on him and called him trash

He needed to stay hiddenHidden within Roland’s ar at?” Miller asked“What’re you ignorants riht,” he said

And then…

“……”

He heard thunder roar fro fired

Miller turned to see what it wasIt seemed like it’d been fired from pretty far away, so the fact that he could hear it from where he stood nificant

His coworker at the time, afrom the noble’s district?”

“…Seems so”

“‘Seeotten into the noble’s district, and that’d ht?”

Miller shrugged“Who says they’re our enemy?”

E at“So you think it’s between insiders, then? An accident?”

Miller nodded“It’s reasonable to assu it into that district” That was how strictly guarded it wasMiller knew that all too wellHis father had been captured trespassing in the noble’s district, after all“But… even if it was just an accident, it sounded pretty bigThey o back”

With that, Miller began to walk away

“But we’re supposed to be patrolling—”

“It’s possible that so ht call on us to go there if they don’t have enough people to deal with itAnd if eren’t back at headquarters then…”
