Discussion Post: 1.4.6

[genarti]

OOPS SORRY MY FRIENDS, I completely forgot to post last night's discussion post at the usual time. Work has eaten all my brains. Here you go! Chapter 1.4.6, "Les péripéties de la guerre civile," translated variously as "The Whirligigs of Civil War" and "The Sudden Changes of Civil War."

I'M VERY UPSET
THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF EVERYTHING I WANTED
I swear last year a couple people said " hey, read Ninety Three! IT'S NOT AS UPSETTING AS LES MIS"
LIES
ALL LIES

*wails for ages*

I can't get over how eager everyone is for the Marquis to take over; it's reminding me a bit of Futurama's Wall of Prophecy thing ("FREE US FROM THE BURDEN OF RATIONAL THOUGHT!"). I mean, I realize this is basically what Royalty and the system that goes around it is ABOUT, and this is why I dislike it even in 90 percent of the High Fantasy I see, and all, but...URGH. EVEN MORE URGH THAN I USUALLY FEEL. I wonder what these soldiers would do without any kind of king? I mean, I guess they'll get to find out, if they aren't annihilated in their turn...


Also, " whirligigs" is a MIGHTY easygoing title for this chapter. PINWHEELS OF DOOOM.
