Ch. 123: Ready, Set, Action!

I'm sure my father gave a great speech after my prayer. Unfortunately (or perhaps, fortunately), I will never know because I left the premises as soon as I could after giving a politician's farewell to the significantly happier nobles.

We're all users at the end of the day. They don't want their precious, cocky offspring to die just for the chance to gain a prestigious position in the army and I want to solidify my stance within a social class that prioritizes one's birth and rank above all else.

But it doesn't feel great honestly. The reason why I had wanted to pursue politics in my past life was to make a difference for the little guy in a modern world more than happy to exploit them. However, these past few years I've been using my skills for personal gain rather than for others.
