I don't like to share my voice in the manner. I prefer to speak in person to those that wish it. I have been in this town for some time, though many don't know me as it was apparently was five hundred years ago. So in this I will be brief and do my best to not belittle or offend anyone.Â
I hear a cry for democracy, I hear a cry for free choice and people wishing to pick the law they follow as individuals and not have others tell them what to do. That is not how it works, even if you decide another and come together to elect someone else. It means nothing, not if you are unwilling to fall in and follow that person.Â
I understand your fears, I will not sit here and try to force the fact Jan is a good man and king down your throats, as it is clear that is how I feel. I will say this, this is not some act of tyranny, this is us trying to establish something greater then a town that just gets by. This is the idea of a kingdom and us being something greater. We have limitless opportunity if we can just come together on this.Â
I understand the fear of laws, the fear that they will effect those of us without title or wealth. They will not only effect us, the laws will hold every member of the kingdom accountable for their actions. Nobles will not be allowed to act as some tyrannical slave driver, they will be held to a higher standard then others. The king would be there to make life easier for us all, not put a greater burden on us all.
I see many of you scream for a better way, yet many are unwilling to offer it. We standing with Jan have offered it, we want what is best for all, not just a few. I plead with you to give this a chance. It will mean something more for all of us, not some simple village in the forest. We would instead be a budding kingdom and a beacon for those seeking refuge from the evil forces of this world.Â
Why argue and throw threats, when we can stand in unity against that which we already all fight?
