Chapter 1348 – The Power Of Women
The corners of Gillard's lips raised, seeing how much he captured the audience.
Their expressions were all stern, but he didn't worry. For sure, they should be angry because of their stupidity, right?
"Everyone, it is a fact that not monitoring women will lead to disaster! Our council has tested and believes that if a blood-shedding woman were to be stripped naked and walked around the fields, insects would fall off crops. And she would also be able to scare away hail storms, whirlwind's and lightning!"
[Everyone rolling their eyes]: Really?
"Again, this blood being let out was very contagious and drinking it has been proven to cause Weltus (Leprosy) to their victims. So, that said… Over the years, we in the Rolnad Deifer council have been monitoring women diligently. And over this period since Baymard's involvement, something bizarre occurred."
Bizarre?
Everyone looked at themselves, wanting to understand the crux of the matter and how it involved Baymard.
Gillard stared at Lucy provocatively, as though saying: I will expose you!
Hmph!
He was sure that the facts he would lay out now would be enough to cause absolute hatred unto Baymard… After all, it was all their fault!
.
With deep breaths, Gillard steadied himself.
"As the heavens are my witness, I put it out here today that during the period of Baymard's involvement, the majority of women have increasingly shed more than thrice a year! Look! Isn't this strange?"
The other council members nodded.
Who doesn't know that women are supposed to shed only once or thrice a year?
Now they're shedding up to 7 times (months) a year!
This made monitoring harder, with the women beginning to have opinions.
Some refused to get monitored, speaking about some bullish** rubbish called women's rights.
Yes!
Since Baymard took over, the rules had changed, giving these damn women a voice. Before, though they did have a voice, it was more or less controlled by the men.
However, now, they don't even want to strip naked and get inspected anymore.
They, the council, had now been called Perverts by a few of these women.
How dare they? What they, the council, did was for the greater good!
.
The council felt very righteous with their actions.
However, they had to admit that the most annoying thing was that some men had begun turning down their summons.
That's right.
Husbands of these women had begun rejecting and refusing to send their wives over to get stripped and checked.
For thousands of years, no one had a problem with it… But now they do?
Why in heaven's name should a woman's opinion be important?
The men who refused to obey their summons slyly did so, saying they didn't want to break the new laws put in place.
In other words, they were telling the council to leave them out of this and pick their battle with the Deifer Monarch and Baymard.
Of course, apart from the fear of the world plummeting down to chaos, the council was also pissed by the dramatic slash in their income.
You know, they charged heavily for inspections, depending on social class and status.
Make no mistake!
Back then, everyone, including slaves git checked.
If one didn't get checked, they could be fined and jailed. Even their masters sent their slaves to get checked.
And the money flowed into the council's treasury.
Additionally, these councilmen sometimes forced and raped slaves, peasants or lesser people, all in the name of dishing out divine punishment.
If a woman didn't shed for over a year, you best believe she would come in for divine punishment and a few more rituals.
Of course, what they didn't know was that the workload, stress, lack of nutrients were a few of the many factors that kept these women from menstruating.
.
Again, if women shed more than thrice a year, they would also proclaim that they had done something wicked that led her to shed more than thrice.
Even though noblewomen led a better life, the average spewed blood 3 times, with the minority shedding twice.
Why? Heh…
Though they received nutrition and lived comfortably with little or no work, one shouldn't forget how much pressure stress can affect the body.
Do you think it's easy to be a part of a haram?
From planning and scheming against others, always watching one's back for poisons and framing, to constantly fighting for one's husband's attention, and power in the haram… How can they sleep well at night?
Even protecting their children alone took a toll on their bodies.
The life of those in the haram looked easy on the surface but was very hard.
One would never know when their maid might turn into an uncovered agent for the enemy.
These women also had to strictly take etiquette, poetry and dance lessons that could go on for hours without rest.
Additionally, they could also get published by their husbands or mother-in-law to kneel for days in the ancestry building or only eat a light meal once a day.
In short, there were so many aspects that didn't allow these women to have their periods as much as they should.
However, now, many have begun seeing them up to 7 times a year… So what does that say?
To the Council, this meant that these women were all too bad, so much so that their divine punishment from the heavens had decided to visit them this much.
In conclusion, it also meant that these women might be the ones to plummet Deiferus, Pyno and even the world into turmoil.
Look! The Zombie plague might be their doing.
So if Baymard were to continue in this way, in the end, won't all women turn evil?
.
Gillard was confident of his facts, bringing up 'evidence' after 'evidence' against Baymard.
He wanted the entire Pyno to understand the implications of their actions.
Women would bring hail storms, lightning, plagues, and all sorts of disasters if they kept going like this!
And the more he spoke, the tenser the air grew.
"Everyone! I believe that all these pieces of evidence are sufficient to prove our claims. That is why my esteem council has taken it on our shoulders to put an end to this! For now, I rest my case!"
