Love in war

I live deep in the borders of the kingdom, my name is Jericho, and this is my tale of how I met a hero and the woman I love.

...

I have been a farmer my whole life. I thought that the war wouldn't affect such a rural area, so did everyone else in the village. We continued our lives as if the war was simple hearsay.

What was the war about anyway? I think I heard it was about killing the non-humans. I do not understand the reason for killing those guys seeing as they haven't done anything wrong. Yet apparently our new king thinks otherwise. There have been a lot of rumors about the king, but most of them were good rumors. The king loved his people and reformed the capital. Still some, the minority think he was insane and evil. Wanting to kill the other races simply because he was scared, they think he was cowardly.
