Parpaldian Occupational Colony of Altarus
City of Le Brias

"Stop! My daughter has nothing to do with this!"

Oppression was one word to define what Altarus have suffers.

"Your daughter is suspected of being a rebel! Whether she is innocent or not, the colonial authority shall judge her!"

Mass arrests among young women, ranging from eighteen to nineteen, have become frequent. These arrests are without any clear reasons, and many of those who have been arrested have not yet been released or declared innocent.

One example is the ongoing conflict in a house of a small Altaran family.

The Parpaldian colonial gendarmes are now forcefully dragging a young maiden, eighteen from her appearance but nineteen from what the girl told.

The father of the girl tried to avert the nightmare of his life by having his only child taken away.

"But your damn authority only ever takes pretty maidens! None of them was ever declared innocent or released!" The father objected, only to pushed away by another Parpaldian gendarme.

"You dare to slander us? The Empire's intelligence is simply flawless!" The gendarme shouted.

"Get out of the way!"

The father insisted. Unfortunately, another Parpaldian gendarme has taken his own initiative to knock the father out with the butt of his musket.

The father fell to the ground, lying weak after being knocked down in a very harsh way. His daughter resisted as she watched her father fall.

"Father!!!" The daughter screamed.

"Silence!" Another Parpaldian gendarme, who was dragging the daughter, jabbed her hair and drag her off from there.

"N-No!" The daughter continues to resist as she winced in pain.

"P-Please, n-no..." The father said weakly, immediately losing all of his power, and he could only watch his beloved child being taken away forcefully.

"Fa-Father!!"

None of the civilians have the will to dare to intervene. Five Parpaldian colonial gendarmes have their muskets ready if any of the civilians dare to intervene.

The young maiden continued to cry in pain and beg for mercy, but her mercy was bashed away as the gendarmes shut her cries down.

"M-My daughter! Akh—!!" The father gagged as a Parpaldian gendarme kicks him on the stomach.

"Father!" The daughter screamed.

"Stay down!" The Parpaldian gendarme said.

The daughter was then thrown inside the prison wagon and locked. The daughter can only watch his father hopelessly lying on the ground, grunting in pain.

"FATHER!!!" She screamed.

"Go!" The leading gendarme ordered to the teamster.

The wagon droves off, the daughter sticks her hand out from the iron bars of the prison wagon as she cries out loudly for her father.

"M-My d-daughter... No..."

The Parpaldian gendarmes then left as two gendarmes ordered the crowd to disperse immediately. The crowd of civilians listens and disperses immediately.

The father was left crying in front of his house; he just lost his daughter. A family relative and friends picked him up and brought him inside his house.
