      "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.
