The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 3: Capital of San Estella

The horse-drawn carriage continued, passing through the city of Bibury led by Marquess Adelmo Nielba and finally did not feel finally the horse-drawn carriage approached the gate of the royal Capital of San Fulgen, San Estella.

"So this is San Estella ?" I said amazed.

A very beautiful and beautiful city, very magnificent buildings, very clean streets. It is not surprising that it is the capital of San Fulgen. From the Capital gate can be seen in the middle of the city if there is a magnificent castle dominated by a beautiful white color, yes it is the castle where Her Majesty the Queen lives.

"Truly a beautiful castle" I said in amazement.

"Hahaha right ? every time I come to the Capital, I am always amazed to see the castle of Her Majesty the Queen, I would love to go there but it seems impossible hahaha" said Uncle Isaac.

"To my knowledge only those who get special invitations or nobles who govern this country can enter the castle of Her Majesty the Queen" I continued.

"That's the reason, so I said that I couldn't get there because I wasn't an important person hahaha" continued Uncle Isaac.

"Don't tell me that Uncle, who knows if you can be invited there" I continued.

"Where is possible" asserted Uncle Isaac.

"But Uncle, why is something strange" I thought.

"What's so weird ?" ask Uncle Isaac.

Other than at the gates of the Capital earlier, knights appeared to be patrolling a lot inside the Capital.

"There are so many knights running around, what is the Capital normally like this or because it is now the day of the Academy entrance test so many knights are patrolling ?" ask Uncle Isaac.

"It's not usually crowded like this anyway, right you think a lot of knights are crowded because now is the day of the start of the academy entrance test for the new school year" said Uncle Isaac.

"There will be more important prospective students like I said before" continued Uncle Isaac.

"That's it" I said.

The horse-drawn carriage continued to drive towards San Fulgen Akademiya. San Fulgen Akademiya is located east of the capital city of San Estella. The streets of the capital continued to pass through shops and markets until I saw something. A Beast Human from the rabbit race and an Elf were shopping but there was an iron necklace around his neck.

"What is a slave ?" my question was then responded by Uncle Isaac.

"That's exactly the slave that nobles usually have, you've only seen slaves first huh ? usually those who become slaves are people who are banished from their home countries or those who go alone from their home countries because there is a conflict or other, or, after that they were captured by slave sellers and sold as slaves.or it could happen to those who had debts and could not pay them, then the way of redemption was sold as slaves," said Uncle Isaac.

"Slave Demihuman & Elf huh ? usually a country with a majority of a certain race does not have slaves of the same race, for example the Kingdom of San Fulgen which is the majority of human habitation, rarely or without slaves of the human race. Conversely, if we go to the Elf Country or the Demi-Human Kingdom, there must be many slaves from the human race" continued Uncle Isaac.

"Even individual countries still use the slavery system huh ? isn't this too cruel ? the slaves cannot live freely and peacefully, every day serving only their masters" I said sadly.

"The boy you just saw was still mending, they seemed to be shopping just plain. When I was in the capital, I saw a noble who was torturing his slave in the middle of the city just because the slave made a small mistake. The other citizens just looked at it without being able to do anything, because if the ordinary citizens stopped the noble, they would be considered challenging the noble. Depending on the noble, if we advise the noble who is good, unselfish and not stubborn, they will surely be happy to take his advice. As for the selfish nobles, feeling high self-esteem and stubbornness, advising them was as good as opposing them. Ordinary citizens who oppose nobility will definitely be threatened and terrorized continuously throughout their lives.

"The nobleman is really" I said a little angrily as I clenched my hands.

"I know you're angry, Rid. I did too when I saw that. Although we are different races, we are both living beings like them. But I can't do anything, I'm also afraid of being threatened by nobles like them. Rid, if you want to change the system in this palace. You must make great achievements in this kingdom so that you can achieve an important position in this kingdom and everyone knows your name. If you can take an important position, you can abolish the slavery system in this country if you don't like it" said Uncle Isaac.

"Yes Uncle, I will work hard to achieve great achievements" I continued.

"So this is San Fulgen Akademiya ?" I said.

"Till here, Rid. In exchange for the cost of me dropping you off, just create a record during the entrance test exam and make them all dumbfounded hahaha" Uncle Isaac said with a laugh.

"Thank you Uncle for driving me. I will try my hardest during the entrance exam" I said.

"Well I go first, study hard at this academy so that later you can achieve your goals. Goodbye, Rid" said Uncle Isaac.

"Yes Uncle, be careful on the road" I said as I waved at Uncle Isaac who slowly started to move away. Then I started walking into the gates of San Fulgen Akademiya and I was questioned by the guards or rather the royal knights assigned to the academy.

"Is there anything I can help ?" ask the guard.

"I want to take the academy entrance test" I said in response.

"Where can your full name and origin be mentioned ?" ask the guard.

"Rid Archie from Aston Village" I replied.

"Rid Archie from Aston Village yes" said the guard while looking at papers that were likely to be a list of participants who would take the test.

"Ah met, Rid Archie from Aston Village. This is the identification card for your entrance test" the guard said, checking my name on the list and giving me the card.

"Thank you, sir" I said as I received the card.

On my card there is number 154 which is my participant number and maybe I am also the 154th participant who has been present here.

"Have many other participants been present, sir ?" ask the guard.

"As you can see in your card number, you are the 154th participant to have attended. Looks like the other participants have not come because now it is also still 8 am. The entrance test starts at 10." replied the guard.

"You can just go straight into the waiting hall or look around the academy" the officer continued.

"Owh is so, alright then I go inside first huh, sir. Thanks for the help" I said.

"May you pass the test yes" the guard said.

After a few steps from the guard, I looked towards the guard again.

"It's so exhausting, why do I have to take care of these kids. Most of them are not nobles, they should be aware that they will not be able to pass the test. It makes me tired of having to deal with the commoners and having to pray for them to pass" the guard said in his heart.

"So even a royal knight could behave like this, let alone the nobles who were on it. In Aston Village is very peaceful and the people are very good, very different from here. So this is the Royal Capital" I said after seeing the guard's heart.

The skill of reading the heart is very useful for this kind of situation, I so know what kind of people approach me. This skill is not always active when I see others, it is active if I decide to use it when I see others. I can use this skill from childhood, this skill seems innate from birth. When I asked my late grandfather, he said that my skill might be a skill passed down from my parents. Whatever it is this skill is very useful and I am very grateful to have it. After hearing the guard's heart, I decided to walk again towards the test hall.
