章 340: Massacre

Hours later…

The Valiente rebel group was a large organization that was originally just a group of farmers tired of being exploited by the monarch. They were simply normal citizens wanting to get to what was promised to them in exchange for their harvest. 

Things were peaceful at first, with the previous emperor clinching a proper bargain without giving or losing too much. However, after the death of the previous crown prince, Manuel, everything was put on a hold. Until the emperor's health started deteriorating and the new crown prince — Joaquin, an ambitious and cruel young man — was put in charge. 

Left with dismay, the said freedom fighters fought for what was promised to them. But since Joaquin wasn't open to any of their plea, they had no choice but to take what was theirs. Over time, the said group expanded as more and more victims of the rotten ruling sought help from them.
