Mona, from the Poison Poppy Special Forces, watched Simone storm away with a mix of disbelief and curiosity. “So, this is what the children of high–ranking officials are like?” she muttered, her brow furrowed.

“Where we come from, Commander–in–chief Ramsey commands such respect that even the King bows to him. All high–ranking officials treat him as royalty.”

“The likes of Commander–in–chief Ramsey, who dedicate themselves to the well–being of the people, deserve nothing less than the utmost respect, even from the King.

Briar, the commander of the Camel Squad, shrugged casually. “That’s not how things work where I’m from. The officials there all have noble titles. They stand above the common folk.”

Mona sneered at him. “In a civilized society, power comes from the people, and that’s why all officials should serve them and even flatter them. None of their descendants would dare to act so ridiculously in public. If the children of officials behaved like this back where I came from, their parents would face an immediate investigation.”

Simmond, from the King Hawk Special Forces, joined in with a shrug. “That’s exactly how it should be. Public officials are paid with taxpayer money to serve the people, not rule over them.

“They should be accountable to the people who fund them with their taxes. Public servants should care about their image.”

Reynold from Centraline Special Forces chimed in, his hand lightly pressing against his bruised nose. “Very true. This is the essence of civilization.”

“Hahaha!” Mona suddenly burst out laughing. “Reynold with your bruised face, it seems like you think you understand sociology. Do you even know what true civilization is?” she teased.

Reynold smirked. “Of course I do! A Draconian playwright once said, ‘Civilization is when the weak aren’t afraid, the strong aren’t arrogant, power isn’t showy, society is fair, wrongdoers are punished, the good live in peace, and all people respect each other. A society of peace, equality, and harmony!”

Briar’s eyes lit up. “Yes! I’ve never heard civilization described like that before.”

Simmond patted him on the back. “One day, that kind of society will exist. It’s a dream for all of humanity.

“Sadly, that dream is hard to achieve. As long as people with selfish motives and power–hungry mindsets- exist, it will never happen.

“That’s why we need people like us and Commander–in–Chief Ramsey.” Ced, from the Maple Special Forces, grinned, glancing at Simone, who was still furious.
