Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Unexpected Task
the snow fell heavily, although not until the storm, but that alone was enough to freeze the activities of the community. Issac only looked at the pseudo-scenes from his dorm window. Both his sister and Aurellia had graduated from the academy.he felt a bit lonely. indeed he was happy because of Anna, Olivia, he was very happy, and Lilianne is still in the academy, but still, no Misha, Sasha, and Aurellia make her days feel any less.
he could have used his teleportation magic to meet the three of them, but his teleportation magic was still in the process of development.he had already trained him several times but the place he appeared was not in accordance with the coordinate point he was aiming at. it might take another week or two until the magic is completely finished.
but beyond that, everything went smoothly even though several times things that were out of his expectations happened, but it was all resolved. initially it numbered 500 but the number had risen to 2000. If one day Issac was granted an autonomous region, he would put the 2000 troops there to Baron's standards, he said, that number is a big army.
not only were their armies large, their skills were better than any other army in the kingdom of Heinz, they were trained hard and intensively, in addition to being trained in swordsmanship, spearmanship, bare-handed martial arts, and magic, they also often simulate warfare and are sent to the forest to eradicate the monsters grade semi two and grade two. they were also sent to the real battlefields of the Grand Aria and Moskov empires by disguising themselves as mercenaries.
in addition to military power, Issac also had the largest intelligence network in the Heinz kingdom. All the territories and mansions of the nobility were infiltrated by VIESTA agents, including the palace and the three princes. from there Issac monitored the entire movement of the nobles and made his next move with Chester as head of the central VIESTA. There were several agents who tried to commit treason by selling information to the other party. but they were executed mercilessly by VIESTA.
His business network is also more than anyone else in the Kingdom. Issac through La-Sa guild already has various types of companies in various fields.business services such as hospitality, restaurants, shopping places, and, and finances have been formed in various regions, whether it is Dukedom (region managed by a Duke) to Baronic (region managed by a Baron). perhaps, now he was included as the ranks of the twenty richest people in the entire Continent.
with his current financial condition and strength, Issac can enjoy his leisure life together with the women he loves.he can have fun whenever he wants without worrying that his money will run out.
but something like that would bore him quickly.he did not want to play in various conflicts, but saw the actors fighting each other and destroying each other while occasionally playing his doll. well, that doesn't mean he thinks humans are just tools, but seeing a criminal kill each other with another villain is fun, right?
after all, he was determined to obey whatever the girls asked for. Aurellia asks him to help her rid the kingdom of the rules and ties that strangle her people. Issac gladly granted it.
Anna and Olivia want them to stay by Issac's side and share his burden. Issac happily made Olivia his right hand manning the La-Sa Guild while Anna would assign Issac the responsibility of removing the territory he would get later.
as for Sasha and Misha, they said they wanted to be teachers. Issac supported them by providing the best magic equipment he had stored.If they intended to do some magic research or any other research, Issac would gladly fund their project.
"excuse me Mr. Starfall. I'm sorry to bother you. There's a letter addressed to your name." Issac broke his daydream and immediately picked up the letter. The king called him to the palace.he does not remember ever looking for trouble with the king.
but who cares.if he does not come, Issac will get a lot of trouble.so inevitably he must come to the palace the day after tomorrow.

The chariot with the coat of arms of Starfall arrived at the courtyard of the Palace.The servants and the troops of the Palace had been waiting for Issac.he was ushered to the throne room of the king who also became the audience.There, the king, the prime minister, the, the minister, and the nobles had been present.there was also his father who was proudly staring at Issac's face.
what the king said was quite dense and clear. he thanked Issac Starfall for the help he provided both in the form of money and foodstuffs he gave to the people affected by the famine and also raised the rank of Issac as a Viscount and gave Issac a territory on the border between the Kingdom of Heinz and the Garlin federation.
Issac was very excited but he managed to close his expression of happiness with his poker face.
but there was one thing that left the entire audience in the throne room stunned.
"Issac R Starfall. on behalf of the kingdom, you will be sent as an ambassador who will connect between the kingdom of Heinz and the empire of Grand Aria. with this, you will be sent as an ambassador who will connect between the kingdom of Heinz and the empire of Grand Aria, I'm appointing you as the delegate I'm going to send there to mediate."
everything in the throne room froze in shock with the edict from the king.
