Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 13: Venz and the Gift For Lilianne
Finally We are, I, my mother Luna and Maya, and Dad are leaving for the capital! the journey from Randall County to Heinz's royal capital, Venz, will take Sunday. since the Sinovac region has been integrated with the Randall region, it means that we are now passing through four other noble territories.
well naturally because in this world there are no cars or other vehicles.There are only horse carriages.not to mention because there is no technology that is so sophisticated, not many Roads that can be built. there is only one road to the capital city! bullshit about the many roads leading to Rome!
not to mention the road we went through there was no asphalt. only hardened soil only.so if it rains, guaranteed this land will be muddy enough to pass.
during the trip we talked a lot about many things.maybe because I will meet Lili and my brothers, my mood gets better.well actually my mood does not change easily anyway. at most if my mood is bad, I will only be alone for a moment and then disappear already that bad atmosphere.
yes, I don't want anyone else, let alone my family, who have nothing to do with my mood swings, to be an outlet of anger.
well, let's end the talk about the mood.it's a personal matter, you know!
during the trip to the capital when we reached the territory of other nobles, we were welcomed with open arms by the local leader.well it was already a tradition around to welcome and entertain the higher ranked nobles.
finally, after a journey of approximately one Sunday, we reached the capital, Venz. This is the residence of more than two million residents. far more than the city of Romeon whose population is not even a quarter Venz.
it is a circle-shaped castle town with a fairly clear division of the district.in general the city is divided into commoner district, commercial district, noble district, etc, and lastly is the royal palace as the center of the capital. Instead of being called the capital, maybe this is more suitable to be called a province. but let's easily call this as a city.
passing through the commoner district, we were greeted by the sight of various people passing by. food stalls and other merchandise were set up on the side of the road. although small is at least enough to be able to meet the needs of everyday life because their needs as ordinary people are not high like nobles.
and the most conspicuous building of this Commoner district was the Adventurers Guild! as expected, the adventurer guild building in the capital is bigger and grander.like its facilities are also more complete.if there is a chance I will definitely stop by!
it was only natural that an adventurer Guild was built in the Commoner district.this was because the Commoner district was the most accessible district.it could and was easily accessible to anyone, whether it was ordinary people or nobles.
15 Minutes later, we finally came out of the Commoner district and into the commercial district.This is where the greatest economic activity in the kingdom goes. foreign traders also transact here.not only the process of buying and selling, but the manufacture of goods also occurs here.it can be said, this district is the economic pillar of the kingdom.
it seems, the closer to the noble district, the buildings in the commercial district will be even more grand.well naturally, in addition to the needs, the nobles have prestige that they must fulfill.
after walking in the commercial district for 10 minutes, our horse-drawn carriage finally reached the noble district.The smallest area among the four districts in existence but also the most neat and organized.
We have finally arrived!! hahhh I can finally rest my back.You know, a week's ride on a horse-drawn carriage in this world is far more horrible than an economy-class train ride!
just imagine for about a week you sit in a horse carriage seat that although soft but the backrest can not be bent. if the road flat may not be too much problem, the backrest may not be too much, but in this world the path is uneven!
well it was a hellish experience.I can't imagine how the father and mother went back and forth to the capital and Randall's territory every time there was important business.
I think I have a good idea.I will ask the research and development section to make the horse carriage as comfortable as possible! hahaha, congratulations on working hard, my greatest subordinate, Nimitz. Take it easy that your salary will be raised.

Nimitz, a subordinate of Issac who is currently in a meeting with the head of research and development department suddenly sneezed simultaneously and then followed by a cold in their spine. somehow they have a bad feeling.I hope nothing bad happens.

after being greeted by the maids and butlers who were taking care of my father's mansion in Venz, I went straight to my room after being ushered in by one of the servants. in the room I immediately wrote a letter to Nimitz with the details I wanted. After that I directly sent it with my pet eagle that I called from another realm, the Falcon. with that the letter will reach Randall's territory tomorrow.
Nimitz spirit!!
even though I have reached the capital, I will not go straight to Lili. I decided to prepare a gift first for her birthday. from the spatial pouch, I took out a violet-colored Crystal stone. this is the crystal I took from the dungeon.I also took out a gold bar from it and started chanting modeling magic.
I decided to give you something that wasn't food. Lili likes sweets but I have no intention of giving her a disposable gift. I decided to make earrings.well hopefully she likes it.
yosh, I finally finished. I put my work in the jewelry box I brought from Randall's territory. After that I decided to take a nap for a while. The birthday party will be held in a few days. I hope everything goes well.

previously Isaac had spread his spies throughout the capital to gather the latest information and news about the capital.This decision would lead him to something extraordinary.
