At school. It's very cold. The door and all the windows are close but we still feel freezing. It's raining outside. But not heavily. The trees, now without any leaves, shiver in the wind.
It's silent in classroom. The Literature classes are often boring to me. It seems to last long and forever. I don't hate Literature. I love books and I read a lot. I like the books of Doyle, Azit Nexin, London and soever. I like poems of Puskin, too. But by some reason, Literature is an nightmare subject. I dislike the books and the authors we are taught. I dislike their writings. But the minister of Education likes. And all I must do is learn and fill my exam papers with someome's (not my Literature teacher) thoughts about the books and the authors.
Today we learn about an historic work. It seems interesting. But the students keep their interests inside. The class finishes when we hear the bell.
Almost immediately when Mr. Flora, the Literature teacher, get out of the class, the students' interests and thoughts begin to break out. It's noisy now. Everyone wants to talk.
Let me summarize our lesson today: In the last years of Pera dynasty, everything was in bad conditions. In addition, the Emperor unluckly had no son. It was such an problem as the law didn't allow women to be Emperor or Mandarins. The Emperor had two princesses. The elder was Sophie and the younger was Sapphire. He also had a clever mandarine, Mr. Ceily. Ceily helped the Emperor a lot when he ruled the country. By the time the Emperor died, he had Ceily to look after and help Princess Sapphire, who became Emperor later. Princess Sapphire was only seven years old but Princess Sophie had married Ceily's nephew so she couldn't took over the throne. Princess Sapphire became the Emperor. Ceily brought his another nephew to her palace. His name was Scenet. Sapphire and Scenet played with each other. One day, Sapphire said she wanted Scenet to be her husband. It's seious. Ceily thought carefully and then arranged them to be married. Then Scenet took over the throne and became the first Emperor of the Ceily dynasty. The Ceilys then led the people of the country defeat the invasions of Nien people.
The story is clear but it holds some problems.
Manda is our classleader. He says:
- 'How do youthink about that? Loyality is the first thing a mandarin must have. You see, Ceily robbed the throne for his clan. He was not loyal. He was..'
- 'Where would he put his loyality, if the Niens defeat us and rule this country?' Says Sera. She is the most stubborn student with strange ideas. 'Has you thought about that? Everything was in bad conditions in the end of the Pera. How could Sapphire lead the people to defeat them, then?'
- 'But she was the Emperor and she was his owner. Or if he didn't see her as his owner, her father was his owner. He must be loyal anyway. Who prohibited him from leading the people to defeat the Niens as a mandarin of hers?'
- 'You say something like owners will always be owners, huh?' Resorts Sera. 'Do you remmember how you become classleader? It's Heta who could not put everything in an order that she was knocked down by everyone in our class. And remember Risu. He made everyting become even more terrible than before he became classleader...'
- 'So what?' Says Manda angrily. 'They don't relate...'
- 'Why not?' Asks Sera loudly. 'They relate closely, I tell you. If you are a good leader, they will not knock you down and put someone else on. And if you are a bad leader, you see what happened to Heta and Risu.'
- 'But you don't have any prooves that Sapphire was a bad leader.'
- 'I think I have more than one.' Said Sera. She becomes angry, too. 'First, she was too small...'
- 'It's not a problem.'
- 'Second, she was so childless because she asked Scenet to be her husband when she was only seven.'
- 'It's normal in her time.'
- 'Normal? Are you crazy?' Shouts Sera. 'Anyway, her father was a bad leader, wasn't he? How can you believe she would be a good leader? She is his daughter.'
Manda nearly shouts out when the English teacher comes in. He has no chance to say more.
