Chapter 596: Politics of the World

The conversation went on for a good while with Lith not talking much and just listening.Lucy and Alea were talking about their everyday things. They had met after a long while and listening to their conversations made Lith understand what 'girls talk' was.There was no essence in their conversation, just them gossiping together and having a good time.On the other hand, it was different with his mother's group.His three aunts were apparently talking about politics and how the overall situation was in the world, with his mother and Lucifer occasionally adding something into the conversation.From them, Lith got to know the viewpoint of the top brass of the world.They saw things much differently than how normal people perceived things. Not only that, they somehow were aware of a lot of things regarding the internal matters of many parts of the world.They talked about one race after another and got profound knowledge straight from the mouths of the rulers.The Dragons were apparently stable and were having the time of their lives. They had three rulers and each ruler was so capable that the Dragon race had left behind even everyone by a far margin to become the biggest economy of the world.They were super rich and prosperous. After Arya became a Supreme Rank, their overall wealth soared as Arya ended up bringing lots and lots of things into the continent that not only gave the Dragons entertainment, but also jobs and other things, eventually making their wealth rise.Poverty was gone from the face of the Dragon Continent and even the most poor person was above average in the world in terms of wealth.After the Dragons, the talk was about Demons. Mayzin and Agalea criticized Lucifer for not looking at what was happening in her continent. The gap between the rich and the poor was increasing in the Demon Continent by an alarming rate and the strong were becoming stronger and the weak, weaker.The population was also declining among the lower demons as they were constantly being hunted by Humans and various other adventurers in the world.

As for the situation with Devils, it was the only thing that was stable in the Demon Continent as they didn't have direct access to the world and stayed in a dimension that Lucifer made for them.After Lucifer was made aware of the things and criticized heavily by Mayzin and Agalea, they went on to discuss the situation about the Angels, then Werewolves followed by Witches, Humans and Elves at last.Things were stable among the Angels, Werewolves, and Witches. But the situation was slightly unstable in the Human Continent as the Human Emperors had grown in number.Humans were the only race that had the most number of Emperor Ranks in the world. They had a whopping sixteen in total, far ahead of everyone. Although out of the sixteen, only twelve were known to the public because the Humans didn't want to 'show off' their might and wanted to stay humble.Mayzin and Agalea were well aware that it was a hoax and the only reason the four Emperor Ranks weren't in public was because they were too dangerous for the general public.The four didn't care about the lives of their fellow Humans and wanted to create a dictatorship and become the sole rulers. They went ahead to even try assassinating their own Supreme Rank but eventually this didn't happen and they are now imprisoned.In any case, if Darren wanted to use them, he could cast a spell and have a strong army led by sixteen Emperor Ranks.But that was something that wouldn't happen as Mayzin and Agalea were of the opinion that the Humans weren't too stupid to march their way forwards to their own demise by trying to fight with the other races for no apparent reason.War aside, the situation in the Human Continent was unstable because of the infighting among the Emperor Ranks and although it wasn't evident on the surface, tensions were happening all over that nobody except for the select few at the top were able to see.Listening to such an analysis made Lith surprised. He had plans to cause turmoil in the continent but didn't know that the stage was set and only a slight spark was needed to cause a wildfire there.Once the talk about Humans was over, Mayzin and Agalea talked about the Vampires and Lilith joined in on the conversation this time.The Vampires were doing fine as always, nothing too flashy or over the top or too low. They could be said to be the most stable among all the other races.Mayzin, Agalea, and even Lucifer were still surprised and didn't know how the Vampires ended up achieving such a state. They asked Lilith again for the nth time but Lilith's answer was the same — they were self-reliant.The three ladies couldn't understand how even the concept of self-reliance worked well with the Vampires but not with their own race.They had tried doing what Lilith had done but that only ended in failure and the three had to work slightly to overcome the situation that had worsened.

Lucifer, to this day, still tried to have the Demons be self-reliant because she didn't want to work in governing them. The result was as mentioned before and what led to her getting criticized by Mayzin and Agalea.The ladies gave up knowing the secrets to self-reliance and went ahead to discuss things related to the Elves at last.From the discussion that happened, Lith got to realize that the Elves were apparently the most unstable currently.It surprised him and led him to think, 'someone is even more unstable than Humans? Wow.'His interest piqued and he continued to listen to what they were saying.Among the Elves, there was civil unrest because of the current government that ruled over them. Although there were no losses yet as Agalea had worked hard enough to not let such a thing happen, the same couldn't be said about the future.Agalea's move of making a parliament and having the Elves get out of monarchy and get into a semi-democratic political situation was not working well with the top authorities among the Elves.The low level Elves would always question the top Elves in the parliament and no thing would get done. This was making the top officials angry and eventually was the reason for a civil unrest as well.From what Agalea knew, if the situation was let to be as is, a coup d'etat was bound to happen and although the people wouldn't be able to do shit if she interfered, things shouldn't escalate to such a big event.Mayzin, Lucifer, and even Lilith were surprised to see that there were people planning a coup right under Agalea's nose and even though she was aware, she didn't do anything about it yet."Bi—"*Thwack*"Language." Mayzin smacked Lucifer in reflex and said even before she could say the word out loud.There was Alea in the room and she didn't want any corruption to go to her in any form.Lucifer knitted her brows but she felt it was well deserved for her to get hit. She shouldn't say bad words in front of Alea, Lucifer understood. Follow current on storynovel.net

"Agalea, what are you, stupid?" Lucifer changed her words and said. "Just beat those guys up and show them who the ruler is. Why bother playing all this democracy game?"Lilith and Mayzin didn't retort Lucifer's comment. They believed she was correct in asking why Agalea was doing the democracy thing in the first place.Agalea didn't get angry hearing her question. Instead, she replied calmly, "The Elves… they are mellow and happy creatures.""During the time when I wasn't there, they weren't in such a state and there was lots and lots of conflict. After I became a ruler and governed them for a while, I realized that they still weren't truly happy by following what I was commanding like a dictator. They did look happy on the surface, but internally they weren't.""Thus, I took the decision of letting them do things on their own and through their own conscious efforts, run themselves. This is what democracy eventually is and although the people at the bottom are somewhat better than before, the ones at the top aren't able to digest well the fact that they have to now listen to the ones at the bottom.""The nobles are ticked off and since they are the strongest Elves, even little movement from them is causing unrest in the Elven Society."Listening to all of Agalea's conversation, Lith thought to himself, 'Damn…'It was truly a mesmerizing experience to have a direct look at what a ruler thought and how they did things. Although his mother was one too, she didn't do things like Agalea and it was his first time actually watching how governance worked in this world.But while Lith was amazed, the same wasn't the case with Lucifer.She knitted her brows and got up from her chair. She went towards Agalea and turning her chair around and making her face her, she put one foot at her side and raised her chin to look her straight in the eyes.Her demonic eyes peered into Agalea's emerald green ones and with seriousness on her face, Lucifer said,"Listen, you dumb cow. I don't know how you forgot this, but always remember this one motto that I, and those two dumdums follow. It being…""Violence isn't the answer…"Agalea blinked and stared at her, wondering why Lucifer, the person who thought with her fist, would say such a thing.Mayzin and Lilith were the same as well and even Lucy, Lith, and even Alea were thinking the same.Lucifer didn't look at the reactions of the people in the room and continued,"Remember, Violence isn't the answer. It's the question.""The answer is yes."
