Chapter 3: The lands don't have to be barren...

"Go on.", said Harry, indicating for Hamilton to continue speaking.

"Your Majesty, this is a very... sensitive topic around here. The women were, let's just say, harrassed by their superiors. Sexually harassed. Now, this did not happen to all of them or on a majority. Only three to four women had this kind of experience. But, the people of Lyria are very united. So, they all united and killed the superiors. This led to internal conflict between the two sides of the army. The Lyrians were eventually defeated because they were outnumbered, and the king executed them all for insubordination.

This enraged the rest of the people of Lyria. Only a small group of people of Lyria had actually gone to join in the army to test the waters. If everything was good, they would then encourage the rest of the Lyrians to join the army. So, when the king visited Lyria again, the Lyrians tried to kill him. He nearly died too.", explained Hamilton.
