Dress up as a queen and start the game with a card drawing system
Chapter 312 Dark Days
Hera is an ordinary woman in the City of Light.
Before winter arrived, they sold the last valuable possessions in their home and used the money to buy enough food to feed the family for a month.
She and her husband were desperate because in a month, it would be winter.
However, the family of three still has four long months of winter to endure. They have no food or income, and they can only wait to die.
What makes them even more desperate is that the king who once brought them hope - Arthur, is dead.
Their future queen, Morgan, held a grand funeral for him in the City of Light, and countless people cried bitterly.
Hera also burst into tears.
What they cried was not just King Arthur, but the future that had lost hope.
Now, the family has no choice but to pray for the Lord's mercy and God's blessing.
It's time to eat. The family's meal today is two slices of black bread.
Compared with those people who go to the garbage dump every day to find food, it is a very happy thing to be able to eat black bread.
Break the bread and eat it with cold water.
There is not much firewood, and not even an ownerless blade of hay can be found in Guangming City today.
The little firewood left at home has to be saved for the winter, and they usually only fire it every few days.
Let alone commoners like them, even nobles' homes rarely light fires every day before winter comes.
Everyone eats vegetables raw and meat half-cooked.
The family of three sat on the bed with the bread in the middle, clasped their hands on their chests, and prayed over the food.
“…Thank you, the merciful Lord, for giving us today’s food, Amen.”
After finishing their prayers, they ate today's food.
Then started to worry.
Hera used to work as a hotel maid. Later, the boss couldn't continue the business and fired her.
So does his husband.
Nowadays, Guangming City has such a large population, but instead of increasing, the number of jobs has become less and less. A large number of people have become unemployed.
Having no choice, Hera knelt down on the bed and prayed to God again.
"O forgiving Lord, please forgive my sins, and please show a direction for the lost lamb..."
Her husband was upset for a while, so he followed her example and knelt down to pray.
He silently prayed to the Lord to punish him alone, to bear all the sins, and to ask the Lord to stop his wife and children from suffering.
Their son sat beside the bed, knelt down like his parents, and imitated their words in a vague way.
Praying day after day has not brought any change to my life.
No, everything is getting worse.
Riots began in Guangming City, and more soldiers patrolled.
Hera was most afraid of those soldiers.
Because they would burst into other people's homes during patrols and take away their food and women.
If anyone dares to resist, they will kill their entire family on the pretext that the other party is a mob, and the women will be toyed with before being killed.
Hera's family originally had some savings, but it was because soldiers came to their door twice that they lost everything.
Not only that, Hera was also insulted by a soldier when they came to the door.
But not being taken away by them was already the best outcome.
After the next-door neighbor’s daughter was taken away, her body soon turned up in a mass grave outside the city.
Hera also heard from others that her body had no clothes on it and was eaten by a bunch of wild dogs.
Hera felt lucky every time she thought about it.
Fortunately, I was not good-looking and had a bad figure, so I was not noticed by the soldiers.
I don’t know how long these dark days will last.
When the food at home was completely exhausted, the largest riot in the city broke out.
The husband immediately took Hera and their son and hid in the cellar.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that her husband went out alone to check on the situation.
Hera hugged her son, panicking in the dark and cold cellar.
After an unknown period of time, her husband came back and happily told her the good news.
"A powerful and generous queen has occupied the City of Light. She announced that as long as we are willing to surrender to her, we can receive relief food."
"God bless! We don't have to starve to death!"
Hera said: "Oh! God! What a kind, generous and kind person this is! She must be the person sent by God to save us!"
"Yes! She must be a messenger sent by God."
Hera and her husband took their son to the Square of Light in front of the Papal Palace and found a place to queue among the crowded crowd.
"Everyone, please queue up on the left to register. Only those with alliance ID cards are eligible to receive food."
Although soldiers kept shouting, there were still people waiting in line to receive food without registering.
Because they did not have ID cards, they were refused food and immediately started yelling and arguing with the person who distributed the food.
Then, several tall guards would soon take them away and lift them to the open space aside. In full view of everyone, a sword pierced their chests.
The handsome general leading the team said coldly: "Anyone who disobeys orders will be shot without mercy."
Everyone lowered their heads in fear, queued up obediently to register, and then went to receive the food.
Fortunately, the people responsible for registration are on a rotating shift system, and there are people around the clock. The team is always moving at a balanced speed, which gives people peace of mind.
During this period, some newcomers did not understand the rules and were not reminded by the people around them. They made some noise and were killed by the young and handsome general.
Their corpses were hung on the tall red thorns in the center of the square, shocking everyone.
Hera and her husband arrived early and only waited in line for half a day before it was their turn to register.
After registering the information, they got a magical card with her face drawn on it. The other party kindly reminded them to go to the right to get food.
Just show your ID card.
Each ID card can only receive one piece of food.
It cannot be collected on behalf of others, and it cannot be collected in excess.
The family of three quickly went to the food side and queued up.
The queue here was shorter and it only took half an hour before it was their turn.
The person responsible for distributing food verified the identities of the three members of their family and ordered the relief food for three people.
"No, this is enough food for you to eat for a month."
Looking at the two full bags of rye, Hera covered her mouth in disbelief!
This much food is enough to feed their family for four months!
In the mouths of adults, it is only enough to last for a month?
"The leader is planning to rebuild Guangming City and will recruit a large number of workers. Please pay attention to the news in the city."
"As long as you work for the leader, you will be given food and wages. The food will be used to improve your physical strength. Don't save it, otherwise you won't have the energy to work."
"In a month, as long as you are not lazy, you will not starve to death."
Hera and her husband thanked each other with tears, and the couple left carrying the food with great gratitude.
