"You?" – said Lucy as she started standing up.

"IT WAS FUCKING YOU?!" – shouted Lucy as she launched herself into the cell bars, straight up bending them slightly upon impact.

"YOU!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" – shouted Porai as she started in her rampage trying to destroy the cell bars, which were actively restoring themselves.

"Now, now. Calm down." – said the man.

"CALM DOWN?! YOU MOTHER-"

Before Lucy could finish speaking, two massive magic circles appeared on both the celling and the floor.

"!?" – in the next moment, Lucy movement were completely sealed, as an overwhelming force was pressing on her entire body from all directions.

(What the hell is this?!) – thought Lucy as she could longer move or even speak.

"Well, this should give us a bit of peace." – said the man.

"Anyway, you want explanation, don’t you? Then calm down and listen." – said the man as he pulled out a small device from his pocket, which he then pressed, causing the magic circles to deactivate.

"!"

(I can move again!) – thought Lucy.

"Let me introduce myself."

"My name Edmund Pendurawan The Third."

"..."

"Does the name Pendurawan doesn’t ring a bell?" – said the man as Lucy did not made any sort of reaction.

"Well... No wonder there."

"Considering that the ones that rule the Brittan hidden this name."

"You could say that about 500 years ago, my bloodline was the one that ruled the Britain."

"The true rulers of this nation."

"Although I say that... I’m pretty much the last one... So, I think my family is pretty much non existing anymore."

"..."

"Well, this is enough about my family."

"I’m going to say this straight."

"The Old London, your home."

"It was rebuild by me."

"I’m its current master."

"?"

"What are you talking about?" – asked Lucy who did not trusted the man one bit.

"You are human."

"The Old London was made-"

"Over 50 years ago?" – said the man, interrupting Lucy.

"I don’t look like after my 50, don’t I?"

"Trust me child. There are ways of extending one lifespan."

"If anything, I’m already over 100."

"..."

"You probably know the story of how the Old London and New London came to be, right?"

"Even a child without parent knows the story."

<<The Great Reform.>>

<<70 years ago, England was completely divided nation.>>

<<Traitors.>>

<<Schemes.>>

<<Conspiracies.>>

<<The entire England was swallowed by the massive war caused by the countless nobility families.>>

<<What started this war?>>

<<Lack of union.>>

<<For countless years, the England was being swallowed by their greed.>>

<<And it is no surprise that the massive war took place.>>

<<A war that lasted over 10 years.>>

<<A internal war that destroyed the England from within.>>

<<The war may had been over, but the nation lied in ruins.>>

<<It needed to be repaired.>>

<<...>>

<<And so, the so called "winners", had the commoners rebuild the nation.>>

<<Were they "losers"? Were they citizens?>>

<<No.>>

<<They were victims.>>

<<The war was never about the people.>>

<<It was about a greed.>>

<<The common folk never did anything.>>

<<And yet, those in power wanted to straight up turn the common folk into their slaves in order to restore the Britain.>>

<<It was a point where the people snapped completely.>>

<<The one that destroyed the England were those in power.>>

<<And so, a second massive war erupted.>>

<<This time against the commoners and the old nobility.>>

<<The old nobility had a power that they had stolen from the countless defeated families that they fought, but the common folk had determination and numbers.>>

<<The old nobility was strong, but they were also pathetic bastards.>>

<<...>>

<<However, the war was ravaging the kingdom even more.>>

<<The second war was destroying what remained of the Britain.... And at this rate, there won’t be anymore "Britan".>>

<<The first war destroyed the Britain as a whole, shrinking it into the nothingness.>>

<<And the second war? It finished off the job.>>

<<There were no longer any cities around.>>

<<There was nothing.>>

<<The only thing that remained were towns and villages.... And that was it.>>

<<The last city.>>

<<The heart of the Britain.>>

<<The London.>>

<<It was destroyed by the war.>>

<<...>>

<<And the moment the last city has fallen, both sides realized the truth.>>

<<That this war was already over and they were just killing themselves.>>

<<With fury and hatred towards the each other, the two sides had no choice but to burry the hatches and go their separated ways.>>

<<The Britain was straight up barely anything at this point... And there was one way to revive it.>>

<<Build cities.>>

<<But obviously the nobody wanted to work with each other or submit to each other.>>

<<And so, the two sides went their separated ways.>>

<<The common folk used the remains of the old London, rebuild it and expanded it, creating a colossus type city called Old London.>>

<<While the old nobility and those corrupted with power fled away from their problems and established their own colossus city, the New London.>>

"That is the story how the Old London and New London came to be." – said the middle aged man.

"The war waged by the corrupted fools, who then turned on their very own people."

"That is the common story that is told."

"But it is far more detailed and gruesome in nature."

"I’ve lived through that war.... And I can tell you that."

"It wasn’t just bloody.... No."

"It was inhuman too."

"The first war.... It was started by just greed."

"Nothing else."

"There was no story or history involved."

"No."

"Just pure greed."

"I watched as those in power just tore each other apart like animals without warning."

"They were not manipulated nor controlled."

"It was all of their own free will."

"A foolish greed of people."

"..."

"And as you can see, there are only 2 cities left in this whole nation."

"Hell! I say nation, but everybody knows very well."

"That the Britain no longer exists."

"Those savages murdered it."

"And yet, they are saying stuff that they will restore it, save it and what not."

"The New London."

"The traitors of the Britain."

"I’ve reborn the London from the ashes, created the Old London from it."

"I wanted to end this mad war! I wanted the peace to be finally over with!"

"But you know what?"

"They never changed!"

"We are not slaves nor anything like nobility exists anymore!"

"Hell! I may have royal blood inside of me and I should be rightful ruler of the Britain."

"My family! They are the descenders of the legendary king Arthur! The one who created this nation! The one who gave the light to the people of Britain!"

"But I don’t fucking call myself a king despise having his blood in my veins!"

"Nobility is the relict of the past."

"And those who clings to it are nothing more than heretics and parasites that cannot tell that the times had changed."

"..."

"My family, it ruled these lands."

"England."

"Britain."

"London and what not!""

"My family ruled it all!"

"But then we were betrayed by the noble families that served us."

"Was its oppression? Was it revolution?"

"No."

"It was just fucking greed."

"They betrayed our family because we held too much power!"

"And then they erased our names in order to horde our achievements!"

"And what they would do later?"

"They would want to horde the power."

"The main reason why they destroyed my family, hunted down even those not blood related to us, but close enough to be called friends into the extinction, was because we held too much power."

"And then they waged war against each other, because they didn’t wanted to share their power and authority."

"Pathetic, isn’t it?"

"..."

"And unfortunately, this isn’t the end of the story."

"No."

"It will never be."

"Those parasites never will change."

"I’ve barely restored the Old London and turned it into the colossus city."

"And the New London?"

"Thriving!"

"They used countless stolen treasures from their own people to create their own city!"

"Our city is not poor by any means.... But their city?"

"IT IS FUCKING VOMITING NON-STOP BECOUSE OF THEIR GREED!" – shouted the man in fury, as Lucy could feel the overwhelming anger coming from the man’s voice.

"..."

"Do you really think that those bastards will stop?"

"Do you really think that these traitorous parasites will learn?"

"The answer is no."

"True. My name wasn’t mentioned when the Old London was restored, because I feared that if the old nobility were to learn about my existence, it could spark another war."

"It would give them excuse."

"But now? They may just create one on the spot."

"..."

"I’ve been in the New London."

"It is... Peaceful city to say to least."

"But not only it was peaceful, it was also rich and extremely well developed."

"A city of pleasure."

"However, something wasn’t right."

"The city was too good."

"Every city has a flaw." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"And I found it."

"Hidden in the underground, I found something inhuman."

"Slaves."

"Countless of them."

"The Losers of the first war and their servants."

"All of them turned into nothing more than slaves that had their freedom stripped away."

"Honestly, they deserved it, since they were also the ones that started off that stupid war."

"But at the same time, I came to the grim realization."

"These bastards were spoiled children."

"They NEVER did the real work themselves and only forced it onto the others."

"So what happens the moment these ’slaves’ end up being used up?"

"The answer is simple."

"They will want more."

"And that will start off the third war."

"A war that will erase anything that remains of the Britain."

"..."

"There is only one way we can survive this."

"Wipe out the New Britain from the face of the Earth."
