Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Wings Are Getting Wider
There are so many talented people in the empire. As a very powerful entity, the empire had accumulated a lot of science long ago. They established good relations with various kingdoms across the sea, gathered their wisdom and piled it up in the Reichstaag.
But as time went on, the conflict tapered off and the Grand Aria empire invested more of their time taking care of those things. Eventually the science they had accumulated long ago became a mere heap of books while their people grew poorer.
But Issac didn't want to waste it. Through his various networks, Issac tried to gather them all and bring them to Versailles. Starting from writers to all-round scholars. From artists who paint everything beautifully to architects who can design a great city and a magnificent palace. Issac wants them all.
And now, he has got it. Spring has arrived in the empire as well as the kingdom. Issac had prepared a scheme to send them all in secret to Versailles. It's not like the nobles and the palace officials will ban him, but if it's not like this, he will have to pay them later.
After all, the empire was not looking for them. All of those people have been forgotten. Their services are no longer needed. But Issac was different. Once Issac got them, he would guarantee the scientific traditions they inherited would last for thousands of years. After all, he needed them to make his territory even stronger.
Now, they had all been gathered at the port and were ready to depart. As leader of Versailles, he took the time to come there. There were 50 of them and their families.
In addition, they also brought books they made, experimental tools, miniature buildings they designed, and others. All of those were useful and valuable items in the eyes of Issac.
Like the Abbasid dynasty of the old world which has the Temple of Wisdom where in it they have thousands of books from various scientists and from various fields and become a center of activity for scholars, Issac also had ambitions to build something like that.
He wanted to create an environment where no matter where he came from, what race, god or Goddess they worshipped, young, old, woman, man, gathered together in one forum to study together. For Issac, that was the best way to strengthen and build his territory.
Issac did not give much of a welcome. He only hoped that, once they were granted various luxuries from him, they could be useful to Issac. And they're very happy with that. After all as an expert, they want the knowledge they have learned to date to be used and inherited.
He knew that maybe they would argue, fight, and bicker with the experts in the kingdom. But that's what makes them give birth to something valuable. Debates between experts often give birth to extraordinary things while they are still in something productive. Naturally, they would cooperate with each other later.
After they left on the private ship of Issac, he went to a very quiet place and returned to the Reichstaag with his teleportation portal. Because it's Sunday, the academy is on holiday. He returned to his Mansion and was deserted. There's no one.
Hmmm, not really. They all gathered in his room. But why the room!? Lately, they love spending time in their private rooms. Whether it's studying, drinking tea together, even just to chat.
Isaac walked to his room and....
""""Happy Birthday, Issac!!""""
Huh birthday? Oh my God he forgot! Being too busy taking care of things, he forgot his birthday! But why do they know? Ah it turns out so. Issac directed his gaze to Lilianne who was grinning without sin.
Lilianne walked up to him and kissed Issac's lips with her beautiful lips. The other three girls were very jealous when they saw Lilianne who was having fun with Issac.
"Lili, I know that you're Issac's girlfriend but let him enjoy his time first okay!?"
"That's right! It's rude to kiss a man in a crowd, isn't it?"
"Lili, since when did you become this Lili?"
"Ara.. Could it be that you are jealous? Don't you guys have a taste....HUMMPH!"
"Ahhh.. ehh!! Not really! Don't say anything else okay!?"
The three of them crowded Lilianne's mouth with their hands. Their faces were red with shame. They're adorable. Isaac wanted to hug them all.
That afternoon, they were all celebrating birthdays together in her room. And she felt, her whole lover sitting with her and laughing together.

The next day, Issac placed a pamphlet on the streets of the Reichstaag. After all this time, he would finally set up his business network here. For the time being, he wanted to build two shops. First was a shop that sold equipment for adventurers. He would sell all the needs of the top-tier adventurers.
In the empire, there were countless silver to gold level adventurers. They fought strong monsters and needed weapons of high quality and durability because the monsters they fought were also strong.
There are also many who sell weapons with good quality. But the good standards here are pretty bad. They did provide a powerful and effective weapon against monsters but the weapon was quickly broken. Only used a few times and can no longer be used.
As a result, they had to buy weapons and equipment continuously. The rewards they got from the guild must have been set aside to purchase both of them every time they finished adventurer. That's why he'll provide them with quality weapons. It would probably be more expensive compared to other stores, but the weapons he would sell were not easily damaged and those adventurers would not have to waste their money anymore at any time to purchase new equipment.
Of course it wasn't just the weapons he was going to sell. Clothes, shoes, potion healers and stamina enhancers, etc.
The second, he will open a clothing store as well as a cafe. Of course in the commercial district of the Reichstaag, those who sold clothing were countless. Also, what they sell is also quality and follows the trend. But there's one problem.
Men often accompany women to buy clothes. They usually wait for a long time. Surely they will be bored when waiting for the women to finish choosing. For this reason, Issac also makes a cafe in his shop.
The men do not have to be bored and tired of waiting if the women they bring are choosing. They can wait casually at their cafe. Women who are tired of choosing can also follow their partners there.
He had already bought a building that he would make his shop. He made pamphlets to recruit employees first and he would train them later. Once the employee has been recruited and the goods are available in the store, Issac will promote the product immediately.
He had already talked about this with Margaret who played his assistant and he supported Issac a hundred percent! Well, somehow he's getting excited and more reliable. Margaret will take care of the staff later.
Of course Issac's intentions were not just purely down to money. If only that, he already had more than enough to be luxurious even if he lived forever.
There's something bigger than that. He wanted to build his information and intelligence network through the business he created. He will get many customers from the upper class and fellow traders who have sources of information. And that will be the source of information for him.
With this, he actually began to seriously spread his wings from the tip of the empire to the other end of the Empire.
