“The People’s Voice” was a tome of a book indeed. Over a thousand yellowed pages extended between its thick, black, leather binding. On its front was an embroidered golden scepter that could be felt by touching it. The book was not hers per se, but was property of the city of Taron. Although not required by law, all kings and queens were strongly advised to read it at least once. Ilirra had read it multiple times, and now found herself thumbing through it once again. The ancient book was a relic. A firsthand account of how civilization had changed throughout the centuries. But more importantly, how it remained the same. There were always general rules for leadership that stood the test of time, many of which the book outlined in excruciating detail. This fact had little to do with any particular city, race of people, or time in history. Ilirra found the book to be invaluable, and buried her nose in it whenever time permitted. Azek stood near the frosted glass windows, now and then taking a swipe at the golden cord holding back the red curtains.
