Equality and Peace It was a memorable day. The resignation of Relena Darlian from her government appointed position would make the evening headlines and fill the papers for the next few days as the media sated its need to blow simple things out of all proportion. Be it television, magazines, radio or newspapers there would be theories voiced on the why and wherefore of her decision. Some days he was certain reporters hired by the media were required to swear an oath to exaggerate the significance of any and every eventuality. Should he gain the opportunity to question a reporter instead of being questioned, he should remember to ask if they took vows to put a, usually, warped slant on all things. He could only wonder what would be said when it became known Relena intended to use the Peacecraft name more freely. She was the Princess Royal of a monarchy and for a long time she had ignored her ancestral duty. She had concerned herself with fashioning a one nation world and it was, inevitably, doomed to fail. At least three generations, more likely five, would be required before people would throw away their parochial affiliations and think of themselves as one nation. Many had ancient ties to particular lands and those ties would not be so easily cast aside. A true One Nation policy required generations to work. She would take up her duties as Peace Ambassador and he had no doubt she would excel, taking her yet to be sworn oath of office as sacred vows, as had her predecessors. Peace Ambassador was not simply a government sanctioned appointment peculiar to Sanc. Relena would leave the running of Sanc to her brother and the elected parliament, dedicating herself to spreading peace and improving the conditions of those who lived in poverty and conflict both within Sanc's borders and throughout the ESUN. Upon their return to Sanc, before witnesses of every recognised religious organisation within Sanc, and before a televised audience and chosen parliamentary representatives, nobility and gathered citizens of Sanc, she would voice her pledge. Vowing to work for peace, to bring equality to people everywhere, and to raise the standard of living until all people could count themselves safe and at peace. Historically the vow had referred solely to the fledgling nation of Sanc and over time expanded outwards to the nations on her borders. With time the Ambassadors had taken on more and more territory, always returning to Sanc, always working for equality and peace… until the invasion and subsequent occupation saw the last of the Peace Ambassadors butchered. It had been Stephan Peacecraft himself, taking on the role. //Sanc might not have been invaded if there had been another to take on the role of King. He had been best suited to being the Ambassador, and a King should not hold both titles, even if one title was unofficial.// It was one of the reasons Sanc had been invaded. Her King had been feared. ~ * ~ |
