Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 107: Aurellia's Sudden Invitation
the day after dating Anna, it was time for me and my parents to return to Venz. Anna looked a little lonely as soon as I left, but I had promised her to send each other letters during this holiday.I would also take the time to come to Brauwl city.
the journey from Venz to Brauwl and vice versa took only a few hours.not to a day.just a little further from Academy City.it was the most pleasant day with Anna.
now, I have to deal with my two brothers.I'm already not angry anymore.more precisely there really is no reason to be angry at them. may Brother Sasha and Sister Misha stop being angry when I get home.
that was what I expected, but my expectations were instantly wiped out by the time I reached the Mansion. Brother Sasha and Sister Misha are still avoiding me. This is very sad. avoided as it makes my heart ache. I do not know what is in their minds and hearts content. hopefully, everything will improve soon tomorrow.
I shuddily walked towards my room.I was very exhausted.it seemed to be an accumulation of tiredness that was piled up from day to day. it was the best way to momentarily forget about the various sorrows and anger.
but one unexpected thing happened before my eyes. Sasha and Misha are sitting on the edge of the bed! they were just wearing sleeveless pajamas. d-and it was transparent so I could see the 'heaven' behind their pajamas even though it was faint.
"Sister! what are you guys doing!? T-this is my Ka-room! I think you must have the wrong room!"
Brother Misha and sister Sasha looked at each other without speaking a single word, they hinted me to sit on the edge of the mattress as well. I obeyed and sat between them. The atmosphere became even more awkward! I'm confused as to what to do now!
"I-Is, ka-we're really sorry about what we did yesterday!" sasha's sister was the first to speak. She also represented Misha's sister.
ahh so apparently. they want to apologize! geez, qhow could I possibly refuse that request!? I hugged them both. My heart finally became light.This way I do not need to be burdened with things that are not needed.
while leaning them against my body, I told them that I was not angry with them. I might just be upset. but as I once said, there was no reason to be angry at them.
"just relax, I didn't think about it. Even though it was a bit painful it also felt like it was avoided like that by the people I loved all along. so I hope we never do anything like that again okay."
they nodded simultaneously while leaning their heads against my chest.God they were like cute little cats right? even with a small voice, I could hear what they were saying.
""I love you Is. not as a brother and sister.more than that, like a man and a woman."
I was comforted by their words and kissed each other's forehead.it didn't seem like they expected me to do that huh.
"of course, I love you too, sister Misha, sister Sasha."
they both feel embarrassed! holy jeez! it seems like I will get diabetes tomorrow because from yesterday and tonight I always feel sweet things.We finally decided to sleep together tonight, he said, like we did many times when we were kids.
****
the next morning, after a long night, I received a letter from Aurellia through my father. It turned out that I was invited to the palace by Aurellia today as well. Hey, this is too sudden. Luckily I have to come in during the day so I have enough time to prepare.
after training I decided to take a warm bath and then have breakfast alone in the room. at first I wanted to eat together with my two beloved sisters but it seemed like they were still embarrassed by last night's incident so I had breakfast in the room accompanied by Via.
after breakfast and a short play with Via, I decided to sort out some reports coming from Adonia to give to Aurellia. Despite the winter, the construction of Adonia certainly continued.
did not feel the time has come. I changed clothes with suitable outfit and appropriate to use in the Palace. well, this is fitting.I went straight to the courtyard of the mansion. the horse carriage was waiting.
from my mansion to the palace not far away, it only took me about 15 minutes at most. after passing through the snowy streets I finally reached the veranda of a very large palace. There, there, looks like one of Aurellia's bodyguards has been waiting for me.
"Welcome, Mr. Starfall. Princess is waiting in her room.Let's follow me." I followed Aurellia's bodyguard to her room.it seems she already has her own workspace huh since trusted to manage Adonia.
"This is the room, sir. please." thank you, sir, the bodyguard.you are very friendly! rarely do I get this treatment.it feels very refreshing.in the room of Aurellia, who became her office in the Palace, she was writing on a piece of paper. beside her, a pile of paper is mounting, he forced himself.
"Good afternoon princess.I have come as you have commanded." In honor of her status as princess, I bowed my body in honor.
Aurellia who daritadi berjibaku with her work finally realized my arrival.she was a little shocked and groggy when she saw me. Could it be that she was embarrassed because there was someone who saw her hard work.
"Well, welcome to Issac, and I didn't say that there's no need to be formal when we're alone?" I scratched my head. That's right, but at least let me respect you a little bit okay.
"Yes, leave that aside, please sit in front of me. I'm sorry but you have to wait a while longer because I have to finish my duties and send it to the minister of internal affairs."
okay. I don't mind. I peeked a little at the contents of Aurellia's assignment just before sitting down. it turned out that it was a tax report, a contract with the merchants, a contract with the merchants, and various other things such as proposals for road repair, irrigation systems, and others. hmm.
"Geez, this is so troublesome to know! I repeatedly sent proposals for help to restore the village of Adonia. All they asked for was a tax report coming in from the village, the crops, and....ah all the things they can take away anyway! I'm sorry, Issac.I have to continue to rely on the La-Sa Guild for this."
I shook my head. "no no no. Lia no need to apologize for that, after all it is a reciprocal relationship. I'm lucky Lia was also lucky. Speaking of them, by the way, do I have to get rid of the people you just said I don't mind getting rid of the dregs like them."
"Hhhhh! you've always been scary! no need. they are indeed corrupt and evil but for now, they are the best of the worst. Getting rid of them only makes the people who are much dirtier than them change their positions."
"hehhh... as expected of Lia. you turned out to have such thoughts.in that case, why don't we just create some kind of educational place to prepare the best children of the kingdom? we can educate them on how to manage the territory properly as well as matters relating to government."
Aurellia looked confused. "Eh, is there such a way? is it possible for them to learn about governance?
"Of course, yeah even though I said that of course this takes a long way to go, but at least I found the right teacher for it. We can discuss the curriculum later. if Lia pleases, it's not, I'll try to take care of it."
Aurellia with sparkling eyes looked at me. she got up from her chair and subconsciously hit the table.
"All right! prepare that for me! nor can I let the depraved ones continue to occupy important posts.I know this takes a long time but at least we have planted the seedlings."
understandably miss. I know my work will be more and more but I am also happy to do this kind of thing. I also tell the princess another report. including about the soldiers who will guard the Adonijah Region as well as preparations for the expansion of the territory.
"with regards to what the princess assigned me before, which was to prepare a group of Knights to keep the Adonijah territory safe, I have prepared it. the pamphlet for it was already spread out and as many as Three hundred people had enrolled themselves and would undergo tests and training as soon as the winter passed.
I am targeting that at least in the fall of next year, they can already be deployed. Of course, the headquarters for the knights and their training facilities will also be built soon after the winter is over. I've also contracted some blacksmiths to guarantee the availability of their stock of weaponry."
about twenty of them are my personal trained, experienced, and professional soldiers.they will serve as trainers for the knight cadets. I also infiltrated several VIESTA agents to keep an eye out for possible espionage activities from people who did not like Aurellia's actions.
"In addition to preparing for the expansion of the region, there have been many recruiting workers from various regions.although it is now winter, development continues but in the form of developing their capabilities. we gave them a course during these three months to hone their skills in processing wood, rocks, and also building things."
I cleared my throat a little dry, but the report I gave was done. Aurellia nodded with satisfaction.well, if this is how it seems like my work is done.
"Thank you for your work Issac! this is my gratitude, I will serve you the best royal wine!" well, I'm reluctant to drink alcohol at my age, but for the sake of having fun with Aurellia, there's no problem.
the rest, I spent time with the Princess in her study.
