What happens when the government that promised to protect you oppresses you instead? The king who forces death onto his own people. The officials that represent the people use them as tools instead. I’m here to tell you that there is no other solution other than to purge that kind of government. There is no hope for reform once corruption has enveloped the core of what made the country strong.
Welcome to the Kingdom of Justitia. A land where a benevolent king once ruled over his subjects, and a place that it’s populace could safely call home. People were kind and enjoyed their lives. Not a trace of that place remains in this cold desolate country where the citizens are treated as either beggars or soldiers, there’s not much in between. The largest military power in the world was Justitia, and that was because at the age of 13 children would form a contract with a mythical beast that chose to bestow itself and its power upon that child. Nobody really knows exactly why 13 is the age that contracts are bestowed, its simply the way it has been. The real reason was lost to time.
The contract would be formed with a beast from the spirit realm, a place where all the beasts lived in with relative ease. There was little fighting and therefore little room for growth outside their original strength. If the child’s contract was deemed worthless, they would be forced into poverty, otherwise they were sent off for military training. The stronger the contracted beast the higher that child would go.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Other countries did have the contracted beasts, but the soldiers of Justitia were conditioned to live to fight. Even if it was for their homeland, soldiers would be easily be overwhelmed by those who disregard their lives and only survive on bloodshed.
A country that was once great and kind has been degraded by time. Now the only thing valued by this country is power and money. The greed of nobles and royalty knows no bound. I have nothing but disgust for these types of people.
The way Justitia controlled the masses was through religion and strength. The government preached the power of the royal family, who were blessed by the gods with the power of light. Whether the gods actually condoned this kind of behavior with the treatment of the citizens that are suppose to be protected is beyond my comprehension. I don’t care about the gods if they support this way of life. I, Noctis Lucifer, will destroy the fabrics of this world to bring about a new era. If an army stands in my way, I will cut them down. If the king stands in my way I will kill the king. If the gods stand in my way, I will bring about the fall of heaven.
