Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 12: Days of Peace and Preparation towards the Capital
it's been two years since the extermination of the bandits. Honestly I'm happy because the days are running peacefully and quietly.the path in Randall's territory is safe from the threat of bandits.A few days after the extermination, the, The fools Geitz and Albert Nii-san returned to the capital to continue their schooling.
well the bandit extermination two years ago was Albert Nii-san's stage after all he who prepared a strategy for the bandits and even managed to kill their leader. so it is only natural that Albert Nii-san was given an award by father.he was also revered by the soldiers for his outstanding magic talent.well as expected. the Blood Flesh of Maya okaa-san.
at that time we also found a spatial bag that they used to hold their loot, so we used the bag to take out merchandise belonging to merchants and return it to them. their view of Marquis Randall finally improved.
at that time, the father also went to the capital to face the king.he returned a national treasure that somehow the story could fall into the hands of bandits.Many rumors circulated about it, but the truth about this has never been revealed.
in retaliation for Father's actions, the king gave the right to manage the Baron Sinovac region, namely the city of Chevron.so the Sinovac region has been integrated with the Randall region. but the biggest advantage is that Randall's territory has complete control over the food supply sent from Sinovac. that way 70 percent of food supplies can be managed independently and concerns over the food crisis in the Randall region are also reduced.
while for two years I continued to train with both my brothers and the personal knights of Marquis Randall. even so my brother only trained with knights for one year because next year they had already left for the capital to study academies.
hehhh I was a bit lonely. They seemed to be lonely as well so we promised to exchange Letters.and now, I have an obligation to send letters to three people. Lili-chan and my two sisters hahh, I want to go to the capital and meet up with my sister and Lili-chan.
while on financial matters, I continued to sell and auction off my hunting products through the guild.I still have a stack of gifts from the dungeon.not to mention the various kinds of materials I took from monsters. so I'm not worried about real money at all, but maybe because in my previous life I didn't have time to enjoy wealth, I became a little obsessed with money.
even though I have a lot of money, I will not let them settle for sure.I decided to build various business networks such as restaurants, bathhouses, lodging, and others.
well so far I just opened the service industry. Maybe later I will also try to produce something.
all the business I built boils down to one guild that I set up independently. La-Sa Guild. This guild is recorded on my behalf. Surely the father who knows that the La-Sa guild that dominates in his territory is mine.
but yeah, you let me do as I please as long as it doesn't hurt Marquis Randall. dad knew too that I didn't like to be flashy so he decided to keep this a secret to my mothers and all my sisters! ah yes this name I took from one of my two lovers while on earth. how, I am romantic right?
in addition to building Guilds and several other ventures, I also built several orphanages in the cities of Romeon and Chevron. indeed something called orphanages already exists in this world. usually the orphanage is managed by the temple authorities, but the number is not much. The size is not large and can not accommodate many abandoned children.
based on my observations and the information provided by the spies I spread across the Randall area, there were at least hundreds of children aged 6-10 years old who were displaced and had nowhere to live. they are usually located in a slum suburban area.
not only kidnapped and enslaved, the abandoned children are often even directed by criminal groups and forced to commit crimes such as theft and robbery. some were even forced to beg then the money was taken by the group. cih, if I meet such bastards, I swear to directly kill them on the spot!!
well maybe I was too sentimental about the children. My past while living on earth also affected me. But I don't care. it is also undeniable that there is an intention to use them as a long-term investment by teaching them to read, write, and count.
but in spite of that they deserve to live happily.they deserve to have a good education and a bright future.so that later, the, they could face this vile world without having to bow their heads and lick its filthy soil.

Now, I was in my study.I don't know what the problem is, dad hurriedly called me. Is there anything? is there anything wrong with Chevron's city expansion project?
a few months ago, through the La-Sa Guild, I proposed a proposal for the widening of Chevron city. After explaining how much profit can be achieved if the city is expanded, I agree.
more than 1,000 people were employed in the project, involving more than 300 stone and wood craftsmen and food stalls. making the economy of Chevron city become more lively and dynamic.
the plan is that if the project is completed, the vacant land will be built a rather modern marketing district.I and the research and development team of my guild have prepared a blueprint of that market
well, if there's a problem, it's going to be serious. Hopefully it's not too heavy. While there's a bit of tension in me, dad finally walks into his office.he comes straight to me and says, "miss Lilianne Balzaac's birthday party will be held in two weeks.we will be leaving for the capital in three days.so be prepared."
of course I heard that directly patted the eel. how could I forget Lili-chan's birthday when she had told me through her letter?!
yosh it's decided! today I will make the best gift for him.I hope he likes my gift. Besides I miss my two brothers.at once I might find a new business land in the capital!
My capital is dataaang!!
