Why it never ends

Chapter 1221 Argument
Or perhaps, Sheena simply doesn't want to pay attention.

Chloe's eyes suddenly welled up with tears as well. Amidst Sheena's sobs, she lifted a corner of the blanket, snuggled up to her sister like she did when she was little, and hugged her from behind.

It was a tough day.

……

At the other end of the palace, Gahodore stood in front of her door, unsure of what to do in the empty room.

At first, she went straight to Boheng's room. Along the way, she repeatedly imagined what she would say to Boheng and rehearsed the scene—how she would stand in front of Boheng like a real adult and discuss with him the forces behind Hershta and his new party.

Perhaps Teacher Boheng will be amazed by her growth and grateful for the inspiration she brought him. Or perhaps he will argue with himself but eventually be persuaded by her or persuade her.

These imaginings gave Gabrielle a kind of frightening joy. She walked quickly in her fantasy until she reached the corridor where Boheng's room was located. Then she suddenly realized that her late-night visit to Boheng's room might bother him.

So Gahodore pressed her burning face to her hands and rushed back to her room—as long as she brought Eunice with her! That way, she could openly and legitimately come to discuss the important matter with the teacher!

But... it's almost 9:30 now, and Eunice is nowhere to be found?

Eunice's routine is usually very regular; she almost never goes out after dinner. Why is she nowhere to be found today?
Gabrielle ran to the other end of the room, where the children's dormitory was located. Several teachers there were close to Eunice, and perhaps they knew some clues.

However, when she knocked on the children's dormitory door, she found herself empty-handed again. The children were indeed all in bed resting, but only two teachers were present—just enough to look after two dormitories; the rest were nowhere to be seen.

“What about the rest?” Gahodore asked.

"They're still discussing the farm's bylaws."

"The discussion isn't over yet!? Wasn't it supposed to end before dinner?"

“No, we agreed to have dinner first, that’s why we dispersed,” the young teacher said, looking at Gahodore. “Those who want to continue the discussion should meet in the auditorium where we had the last heart-to-heart talk after dinner. Who told you that we were just leaving?”

Gabrielle immediately thanked them and strode down the corridor—no one had told her that the meeting was over; she had been distracted and assumed the discussion was finished once everyone left.

When they were less than a hundred meters from the talk salon, Gahodore heard a whale man speaking loudly in his native language, just like he had in front of the old house that afternoon.

After Hershta's speech in the afternoon, the Mercury Needles left the room, and the farm laborers rearranged their chairs to form a large circle, thus beginning the discussion of the farm bylaws.

Because they were not yet fluent in the Third District language, the discussions following their introductions were all conducted in the Twelfth District language. The teachers who had originally helped them translate the speeches from the Third District language into the Twelfth District language now reversed course and translated the laborers' Twelfth District language back into the Third District language so that Hesta and the others could understand.

The entire discussion of the charter was chaired by Simoya, but she hardly spoke during the process, only intervening briefly when the debate reached a dead end, asking everyone to temporarily suspend the details and move on to the next topic.

At that moment, Gahodorei rushed to the door, panting. Only a few people turned to look at her; most were still listening intently to the debaters' remarks, which could even be described as heated.

Gabrielle walked into the crowd and listened for a while. Some issues were easy to reach a consensus on. For example, everyone liked the name "Many Women's Farm," and no one thought it needed to be changed.

In terms of labor allocation, they have already formed their own division of labor in the past few months, and there are not many objections to these matters. They have also established their own division of labor in these areas.

But other questions are not so easy to answer.

Gabrielle recalls that the first issue that arose in the afternoon was whether or not children should help with the work. Then, they argued fiercely about who should be expelled from the farm. After that topic subsided, the question of whether or not a maximum stay limit should be set for the farm sparked further disagreement.

Hester left for a while, during which time the discussion began about whether family members or friends could stay with them. She expected the argument to drag on until Simona stepped in and said the issue would also be put on hold. However, when Hester returned, she made the final decision after only a few words:
Absolutely not.

Anyone entering the farm to eat, live, work, and receive assistance must undergo independent identity verification and investigation. Anyone who violates this principle or helps to conceal the truth will be immediately expelled from the farm.

Although some workers lamented this, the controversy was quickly forgotten.

Now, for some reason, everyone has returned to the question from this afternoon: "Can we stay on the farm indefinitely?"

Gabrielle looked around and searched for a long time before finally spotting Eunice and Boheng's faces in the crowd—the two sat silently in a corner, but were clearly listening to the discussion in the center of the crowd.

"Eunice!" Gahodorei ran to Eunice's side. "When I went back to my room, I found you weren't there. I thought something had happened to you!"

Eunice yawned deeply. She would usually be asleep by now, but seeing how focused Teacher Boheng was, she felt embarrassed to leave and could only bite the bullet and kill time with him.

Boheng seemed to only then notice Younis's condition, and said to the side, "It's late, you and Jiahedore should go back and rest first."

“Alright!” Eunice immediately stood up. “Then we—”

"I have something important to tell you."

Boheng and Younis both looked up at Gahodorei at the same time.

“Then let’s go for a walk,” Boheng said.

The three did not leave the palace, but instead went to the highest stargazing platform. There stood a rusty metal telescope, completely out of place with the palace's luxurious exterior, its lens locked.

Boheng walked to the stone wall at the edge of the rooftop, placed one hand on it, and casually turned to the side: "Speak."

“Hersta…the political party that was ‘registered’ this afternoon, actually, actually received—” Gahodorei stammered, suddenly unable to recall the words “Royal Recommendation Charter”.

“We received the Emperor’s help,” Boheng said. “He was also present today.”
