A fight for dominance and nobility

Chapter one: A political warfare

The room is filled with a deafening silence. The kind of silence that makes you want to shout or better yet curse. The air is getting thicker each second you can almost taste and smell the tension. I have been meeting with my fellow companions for many years and we have never experienced this kind of silence that says many words without anyone daring to utter a single word.

I glance sideways, trying my best to avoid eyes that are seeming to bore into my soul and expecting words from me to soothe everyone's mind. One might reckon we are in mourning, but the word death is far from defining our silence.

'Now what are we going to do? They banned political gatherings. These men, these scoundrels prohibit each and every darn thing for women!'Lucy shouted. Her tone expressed anger and frustration. I must admit, it was wise of her to say something.

'There is absolutely nothing to do Lucy.' Flora said softly, trying her best to calm the raging female next to her.

Flora is demure. It took everything in my power to lure her into joining my secret pack to fight for the rights of women. If anyone who is not of my secret organisation, knew about our views on the political structure they would say I am uncouth. Well let me tell you, I might be uncouth but at least I do not dwell on the degrading structure of being someone's object to rule.

'That is utter bullocks.' Lucy hit her fist on the table with so much power and determination you would swear the whole of England heard.

' it is that son of a coward who encouraged this stupid system that everyone highly supports .' Flora added.

I just stared at the three females pouring out their anger as if it will do any change.

Well, I did hear about Lord Alexander Blanchet being an arse but for him to not spare a single thought about women's rights and complaints is impudence. I am quite sure he is perturbed. Rumour has it that he is not human. I highly believe that. He might be a gargoyle which suits his personality to the best of all his abilities. He might be stuffing his mouth with various food along with all noble people and forgetting people who are of my status. Working their buttocks off to feed their families.

' I might have an idea that requires action.' I stated and now all eyes are on me. I smile before standing up.

' I hope it is not the type of idea that is going to lead us to whole different perdition. ' Lucy said, glaring daggers at me.

'Raid. Let us raid the tax collectors and give back the money to the people.'

' Are you perturbed?!' Flora shouted, for the first time Flora once raised her voice making all of us chuckle at her sudden loss of maintaining a good self-image.' What are you laughing at? This is not a laughing matter I tell you.' She said, still filled with indignation mixed with confusion.

' I knew you had the fighting spirit in you.' I said proudly. ' Before Flora interrupted my cunning plan, I wanted to say all we must do is to take all the coins. We are just going to give it back to the people it is not ours to keep.'

' Well, I hope you raid well. I am not taking part in this grotesque act.' Flora said defensively. Her arms folded tightly against her chest.

I sigh. ' Fine, who is with me then ?'

' you know we love you Zadie, but you are alone on this one.' Lucy said, glancing down at the table and I must say I am highly disappointed.

' I agree with Lucy.' Bridget stated.

I stared at my friends in confusion. They said they were sick and tired of how the system is but now they decided to turn their backs on me.

'Fine. I will not force any of you to take part, but I am going to do this.' I said, taking a seat and glaring at all of them. 'I will fight for my people and myself. I am not a coward.'
