Maria Spotlight - The night is ours

"How do you imagine that, Claus?", Targhan rose, he was a good two meters tall.

"Well, Targhan“, Claus rolled his eyes lightly, as if answering Targhan's question was beneath his dignity, " you could certainly arrange not to hunt that day. People always come to certain days, so you don't hunt.“

"I don't think that's a good idea. You can't forbid a wolf to hunt. It's in our instincts.“

"Instincts can be suppressed, Stephan. I think this is the easiest way.“

That skunk. Where he went and stood he tried to manipulate and intrigue. I would spoil his plans.

"So you want to lock up the werewolves, do I see that right?"

"No one here has spoken of imprisonment, dear Larissa.“

"Oh, yes, you have, that's exactly what you want to do. You want to forbid them to go hunting for a whole day, so that people can bring this shitty commodity here by the shortest route.“

"Larissa, I beg you“, my father admonished me.

"No, you brought me here to help you, and that's exactly what I'm doing, albeit in my own way. I have a different opinion and I will make it known. So, I suggest you don't let people turn right at the Bear Intersection, let them turn left.“

"But then they'll come to our village.“

"That's right, Claus. You might as well accept the merchandise and then redistribute it. Haven't you been wishing for more handling in this regard anyway? Now's your chance, use it.“

"This is a detour, Larissa. People would travel almost twice as long.“

"So what! Then let them. We will reward them accordingly. Who cares if the goods don't arrive until late at night? People pass safe roads, even if they have to drive into the night, nothing will happen to them. We made this country safe.“

I turned to my father again, he should have the closing words on the subject.

"Father, look. To imprison a wild animal is certainly not what you mean by your promised land. We're all free, and we should stay free.“

"My daughter is right, Claus, it doesn't matter when the goods arrive. I hate to ask Stephan to keep his people from hunting. So, who votes for Claus' proposal?"

Only Claus himself and Mathilde raised their hands. Everyone else must have voted for me.

"Then it‘s decided. Tomorrow a raven will be sent to the people. He will send them a letter with all the information they need, including the route they had been given“, father's head leaned towards me, „well done, little daughter. You've just put your first proposal through.“

To annoy Claus even more, Emily started clapping, wearing a contented smile on her lips. Targhan and Sophie joined him, then Stephan and finally all the rest. I had actually found my destiny, yes, I would make politics. Claus would have loved to go up the walls in rage. He sparkled at me with his disgustingly piercing eyes, aiming at me like a deadly snake about to devour its prey. I didn't let myself be confused and stood up to the gaze. Then he hurried out of the room. I knew I had provoked him, I didn't give a damn. I had just begun my crusade against Claus. Now he was officially my opponent.
