Kamodichi gritted his teeth in a fit of anger. He didn't like the Kingdom soldiers, they treated people with disrespect and expected too much from what people could give. Kamodichi held his place though as the woman began to speak. "We gather here people, because we have heard the complaints of your villages being destroyed because of some lunatic. Well we are here to tell you what are jobs are. 1) We only protect the citizens inside kingdom province, 2) we collect goods such as money, food and other goods' and 3) we keep order inside kingdom walls and keep outsiders out. We don't involve ourselves with peasant problems or control anything outside Kingdom walls" the woman told them.
"Your bandit problems are your responsibility if you don't like it then that's a personal problem" the woman said. The crowd erupted into protests, "If you're taking our goods then we should be getting protection too" one shouted. "Yeah our homes have been destroyed which means we can't do any of that, where are we gonna go" another said. "Its ok" Ataku spoke up. The crowd turned to the her, Kamodichi looked at her. The woman stared in shock at them. "I have witnessed the bandit's horrible ways. I see that he is the most terrible of people. We can work together to take down the bandits and protect the younger ones. All of you can't do it alone so you all need to band together. As a member of the bright knights organization we will see to it that the bandit problems be handled. But your duty is not give up in these types of distress. We've seen everything in the wild and the wild is tough but you are strong people with strong will. And with that will put together you can survive even the toughest winters, the harshest summers but you have to try and work as a team" Ataku's words had taken over everyone. She was motivating them.
"The best thing for you guys to do is to make a new village, gather more food and to keep going. Don't let this a tragedy hold you all back from living. Let this misfortune teach you, learn from it take it then rise above it, you'll do great" Ataku told them.
"She's right, we survived, its time to show bandits that we can fight back" one agreed and everyone started clapping. The crowd began to thank Ataku and they decided to build a new village with better protection and would provide resources to them. Some even paid them coins, "please sir and ma'am get rid of the bandits" a child told them. "Of course" Kamodichi assured the child.
The woman was infuriated, the knights were providing protection and gaining resources that they were losing. She thought of a plan, the girl was a good spokesperson and motivated the peasants to keep on going and be even better which meant their product would be better. Get them on our side she thought. She grinned with delight. "Come sir and knightess we would generally like to have a chat" she called to Kamodichi and Ataku. Kamodichi was not liking this but knew they were of authority and could harm the people. "Come on Ataku, let's see what she wants" Kamodichi said. They rode their horses to the Kingdom soldiers, Kamodichi eyed them with inquiry. "My name is Vianna Hilton of the eastern kingdom. I am The fourth royal advisor of this plain. You helped me back there and so I would like to show you our gratitude. You must come back to our kingdom with us" She smiled.
"That's OK we are on a journey" Kamodichi told her. "I completely insist, I am not really giving you a choice" Vianna looked at him with desire. Ataku looked at Kamodichi with a questionable look. "Alright" Kamodichi gave in. Ataku was curious to see what the kingdom looked like.
