Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Margaret's Confession
Seeing the rapid development of Versailles, the palace officials and other nobles began to worry. Especially the minister of internal affairs. He deliberately chose the territory for Issac so that he would be completely isolated from the political stage of the kingdom and not interfere in the conflict of the throne.
But the calculations are wrong. In just one year, he managed to build his new territory where Versailles as the center of his government became a very prosperous region. You could even say metropolitan.
The amount of its population was competing with the capital while the income per year of its territory was even greater than the combination between the capital and any high ranking noble territory.
But what worries them even more is Versailles' ambitious project. A network of highways that will connect Versailles with Venz.
Previously, merchants who transported materials or staples to and from the Starfall region had to pass through the territories of the nobility which was the Duke Conrad faction that had a bad relationship with Issac.
The rulers of the region would impose expensive tariffs on them to prevent the flow of goods into Versailles. But now, everything is different. An envoy from Versailles came to Venz and put forward a proposal to the king regarding this project.
Actually it's not necessary. Nobles who manage a territory are given the right of great autonomy to freely issue policies related to its territory.
But in order to gain the heart of the king's family, Anna deliberately sent an envoy to explain the project to the king. The envoy explained the various advantages if the king cooperated with them to participate in this project.
Well, at the persuasion of his family, of course Aurellia was behind it all, the king actually took part in the construction. Even Versailles to lend a lot of money to the king's family to build some posts that would be the point of road construction.
Even more worrying, though, the spies deployed by the nobles reported that Versailles was conducting a massive recruit for the troops that would be the vanguard in maintaining security and defending their territory from outside threats.
A few months ago, they recruited as many as 1500 people. They were all rigorously selected by trained instructors and background-checked knights so that these spies could not enter any further.
This month, they recruited about 1,000 more people to serve in the military. And those spies still couldn't find any loopholes to go further into the military structure and unlock the secrets they held.
But the nobles also did not have a proper reason to blame Starfall. Either way, forming an army is indeed an obligation for every region. They must be able to protect themselves from outside threats.
After all, what worried them was the amount. A noble with the title of Viscount at most only had 1000 troops and was sustained by several hundred knights. They are already in trouble and have to impose high taxes on their people.
How else. They had no choice and could only watch over Starfall's continuous movements. Although he was in the empire now and access to information to him was complicated, there was a possibility that he had done another way to establish communication with his representative at Versailles.
Those officials and nobles were completely unaware of who was actually being watched and who was actually watching. Who is the eagle and who is the mouse. The information network that Starfall had in the Heinz kingdom was much stronger than they could have imagined.

Issac did not know what Margaret and Lilianne were talking about. They both spent all night chatting. That's the usual thing actually. But somehow this time they were more intense.
But well, Issac couldn't eavesdrop on women's talk. That's not polite! But somehow Margaret's attitude lately became strange. He remains professional with his usual duties as an assistant to Issac.
But outside of work, he kept a little distance from Issac. If he tried to get close to her, Margaret would turn away by turning her face away. Did I do something that made him angry?
"Issac, will you come out with me on Saturday?"
"Of course, why not? But where are we going?"
"Look at it later! But you promise, okay!?"
What's wrong with this girl!? Issac could only sigh tiredly. Lilianne simply held back a laugh and gave a thumbs up as if giving her spirit.
Nope, no! Don't just throw a thumb! Explain what is going on! But Lilianne patted him on the shoulder and said "already, just follow. Treat her gently okay?"
It's getting ambiguous! But yes, he just had to obey Margaret's will. I don't know what the pretty girl asked for. But dating a pretty girl like Margaret isn't too bad. Very good in fact.
By the way, Issac was getting ready. As usual, she was wearing simple clothes. A shirt covered in a black vest. His pants are brown. And Margaret looks a bit glamorous now. But she who wears such a dress is really pretty.
"Ja-don't look at me like that. This outfit is really embarrassing!"
Margaret hesitantly held Issac's hand. It was a warm and loving hand. The same grasp as Aurellia and her other lovers.
With pleasure, Issac received a hand-hold from Margaret and they began to wander around the shopping area. There are no special activities they do. Just go around, try various culinary, window shopping, and other ordinary things.
But this moment itself is special. Margaret, smiling, shouts shamefully and beats her hand, and all the actions Margaret does today are special.
They spend the night. The two decide to have dinner at the four-story restaurant Issac. So there is a floor whose balcony is directly opposite the commercial district area view.
"Beautiful huh? For the first time I enjoyed a scene like this for many years in the empire."
"Oh yeah? It is more beautiful than in the kingdom. Shine and crowded even at night."
Then silence. Issac and Margaret said nothing. But Margaret decided to speak after preparing her mentality.
"Issac, we've been together for a year. We have a lot of things that we've been through together. Although you often trouble me, but. but. I really can not be separated from you."
Margaret got up and pressed Issac's cheek with both hands. His Heterochromic eyes were glazed. Then without saying anything else, he kissed Issac's lips wholeheartedly. Trying to convey his feelings through the kiss.
Although Issac was surprised, he accepted the kiss and did not refuse. He could feel the transmission of Margaret's feelings. Margaret's lips were soft and fragrant. After ten seconds, Margaret let go of her kiss. She was very embarrassed and her face was flushed to her ears.
"I love you, Issac. Love you so much."
Margaret carried Issac's hand to her chest. His heart was racing. While Issac he has not said anything but it is clear that he can feel the love of Margaret.
"Margareth, it's actually me...."
"I already know! You have five other lovers in the kingdom, right? Th-that was a surprise! B-but I.have spoken to Aurellia and the others."
Issac looked down at Margaret who was bowed in shame while hoping with an expression that he himself could not describe. He did not hate Margaret. No, more precisely Margaret was a precious person to him.
In his deepest heart, he did not want Margaret to belong to anyone else! He wanted Margaret to be himself. In the end, he gave up. Since Aurellia and the others have allowed it, so be it.
He grabbed Margaret by the waist and pulled onto her body. Issac returned Margaret's kiss. Their tongues licked each other. But because Issac was more experienced, Margaret lost and resigned when they exchanged pleasures.
Issac activated his teleportation magic and moved to his room in the mansion of mistress Heid. Since Margaret was already her lover, then she did not need to keep this magic a secret anymore.
"I love you too, Margaret. Tonight, be mine."
Issac pushed the poor girl into the bed. Her eyeballs are beautiful because of their two non-glass uniform colors. For some reason Issac is like a wolf tonight and Margaret is like a little lamb ready to eat!
Quickly, Issac undid Margaret's clothes and could not turn away from her beautiful body. He began to warm up and kiss and touch every part of Margaret's body.
He just resigned! Margaret was happy that her entire holy body was touched by the man she loved. It feels weird but it's fun. Suddenly, as Issac played with his two mountains and Peaches at the top, a strange sensation came!
His body twitched and the feeling of pleasure from ****** for the first time in his life was painted on his face. Issac ended the warm-up and united his body with Margaret's.
That night, Issac and Margaret sought each other's pleasure. But because of Margaret's inexperienced body, she could only moan pleasure and in the end, the sensation of pleasure came from her lower body. He has come out for the second time even though this time is more fun.
"It's a long night, Margaret, and I haven't come out yet."
The long battle ended with a warm liquid entering the deepest part of Margaret's after Margaret had gone out four times. Tired, Margaret finally fell asleep, with a smile and a satisfied facial expression. Issac smiled and kissed Margaret's sleeping lips, then slept beside Margaret.
