The two brothers continued walking down the corridor leading to the exhibition hall. The corridor was rather long and made of white stones with drawings of a phoenix emerging from the ashes engraved with golden threads on pieces of red silk hanging on either side of the corridor walls, as it is a symbol of the royal family of the Kingdom of England It is clear that the theater belongs to a member of the royal family, Prince Michael. When they reached the end of the corridor they found a large hall with many luxurious chairs arranged in horizontal rows with an empty corridor separating the horizontal rows forming a vertical line in front of the chairs. There is a high and large Show theater covered with red curtains But, from time to time, sounds of transmission and cheering mixed with many different sounds can be heard emanating from behind these curtains. On both sides of the hall and at a high distance from the ground there is a circular balcony covered with red curtains except for the part opposite the Show theater, in the balcony on the left of the Show theater there are several chairs Embroidered with silver, which belongs to the dukes of the kingdom, while in the balcony on the right of the Show theater there are several chairs embroidered with gold, which belong to the royal family, and the balcony of the royal family is higher than the Dukes' balcony.
William and Edward chose to sit on the right of the show stage in the first row. When they got there, they sat down, and then the maid bent over and spoke for the first time since they started walking, "Should I get you anything." William turned to her with a polite smile and said, "Thank you, we are grateful that you brought us here we don't want to trouble you anymore" The maid was surprised by William's smile and his polite response, as children of nobles are usually very arrogant and rude when dealing with the public and especially the servants. But she quickly reunited herself and said with a polite smile, "Well, little sir, excuse me, I will be taking my leaving then ." William replied with a polite nod when she turned to leave. the maid thought it would be wonderful if all the nobles were with this respect and nobility instead of acting as a group of bastards and villains who only care about money and women and make common people life like hell to satisfy their worthless pride and pretend they are superior From the"public."
After the maid left, Edward turned to look at William and said, "Brother, why has my father not come home since Aria was born three months ago? He used to come at least once every two or three weeks. Could something bad happen to our father?", William gave Edward a confident smile Before he said, "Do not worry, Ed. It is impossible for anything bad to happen to our father, for he is the strongest fighter in the kingdom, and he has not lost a single battle since he was appointed as the warlord of the North. I heard from my mother that the reason for his not coming is that the kingdom of Assad has shown preparations to start the war." It also carried out several attacks on villages on the border, so our father stayed there to watch the situation and prepare for any possible battle, but some clashes during the past three months, the Assad kingdom withdrew its soldiers again, so our father will return today to celebrate with us.
Edward was happy because his father would return, but there was a question that bothered him a lot, so he decided to ask his brother, "My brother, why do people constantly wage war against each other, can't we live in peace ??." William was surprised when Edward asked him the same question that he asked his father two years ago, but he quickly replaced his surprised expression with a serious look and said, "Wars are taking place in the field of politics, and only the last scenes are those that move to the battlefield."
After hearing William's response, Edward became more confused and asked " what does that mean ". William looked at him with a smile and said, "This means that when the nobles do not find enough gold to wipe their asses, they turn to the nobles of other kingdoms to ask them to give them gold without conditions, and when the other side refuses, they go crazy and decide to start the only entertainment they have that they allow the public to participate in, which is war." ".
While William and Edward were talking, they did not notice the presence of an old man who appeared to be in the 70 years of age sitting directly behind them, with all white hair and wearing a black suit with a long hat, holding a black stick. He understands even after his older brother explained the matter indirectly to him, so he decided to intervene in their conversation a little and said, "Simply, little boy, what your brother is trying to say is that the war stems from the greed of those in power often or from hunger and poverty in a few times." When the man spoke, William and Edward were slightly surprised, but upon hearing his words, William smiled while Edward nodded his head with an expression indicative of understanding and said, "Excuse me, sir. Is there no way to stop the war completely?".
Upon hearing his question, the old man sighed because of the question and said, "I don't think there is a way to end war forever. war is the trade from which kings profits and even if we manage to change that there is the human nature itself Just as the war for a man is like motherhood for a woman, both of them stem from the way God created people, so you can say God did not create beasts worse than humans, and human didn't create a beast worse than war. the only way to end the war is to make people understand that we do not win in war the more we kill our opponents but the more we kill in our souls the desire to kill "
While they were talking, people continued to arrive at the theater one by one, as well as time continued to pass, and during the conversation with the old man, the two brothers knew that his name was "Thomas Redfield" and that he was a former author of books and he was a diplomat, while on the other side Thomas was very impressed with the intelligence of the two brothers. And the depth of their outlook on life and their understanding of it compared to those of their age or even some adults, although the constant war has led to the youngsters' maturity faster, so often children go to battle at the age of 17, and those who return alive have already known the harshness of life ،Some of them are even affected by the war and their hearts become extremely cold and end up with psychological problems that ultimately lead them to commit suicide, becoming thieves, or mercenaries. , as the saying goes. "In war, everyone is injured," except that it is difficult to have children of this age who have a good amount of knowledge and awareness, and so their conversation continued until they were surprised that the play almost began, as the time has already become around 4 pm, and so the theater curtains were raised and the show started.
