Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Branch Head La - Sa Guild Reichstaag
News of the death of Franz Von Lambard and his wife and subordinates had been heard by the emperor and others. Chaos soon broke out. After the funeral procession was completed, Franz's subordinates immediately targeted the position of trade union chairman at all costs.
But the seizure of this position made the Lambard trade union fragmented. Moreover, the main heir of this union, Carolina Von Lambard, decided not to interfere in this matter.
In the end, Lambard's trade union broke up and some of their assets included mining companies, cloth, sugar, and some ships purchased by Issac and joined the La-Sa Guild.
"But you're sure Lina? I can give up some of the effort I've taken over. You can start all over again."
Carolina was in his arms. His body wears nothing. The woman was like a cat that was spoiled with her master. She has officially been Issac's lover since the events of that day. And like the others, he made love with Issac on a regular basis.
"no need. Come to think of it, I'm sick of it all. There is too much unhealthy competition. Even because they're my parents...."
Issac kissed Carolina's lips before she said her parents were murdered. It's not something light at all. Just like Agatha, she had no family anymore. That's why Issac should be a Carolina family.
But it would be a pity if Carolina no longer used her talent. Well, he's lost his purpose. Well then, all Issac has to do is make a new destination for Carolina.
"What if this is Lina. Since I have bought some of your father's previous businesses and united them in the La-Sa guild, what if you become the head of the La-Sa Guild branch in the Reichstaag?
"My region needs a supply of raw materials, sugar, and many other things. For that I need a solid foundation and strong control to make sure all the goods do not fall to other traders.
"Also, to make sure that none of my partners do embezzlement and bribery, I need a trusted person to keep an eye on all of that. And the only person I can trust for this matter is you, Lina."
Lina's blue eyes were rounded. Issac believed him. He smiled as if to say 'then how else?' agree with Issac's proposal.
Seeing Carolina smiling and agreeing, Issac was happy. This way Carolina does not need to be sad anymore and she can still use her talent as a reliable trader. Issac believes Carolina hasn't forgotten everything that happened. But at least, he was willing to endure all that with Carolina.

It is helped by many people. He used a magician who specialized in wind and fire magic to clear land and used earth magicians to level the way.
Soldiers recruited by the Department of Defense also helped build the highway. They carried heavy machinery pulled by dozens of bulls to make ancient concrete and print it along the way.
The machine was designed by engineers from the empire and Heinz students who had studied in the empire for many years. Thanks to the results of their cooperation, the creation of a large tool.
Now, the line is more often used by traders, adventurers, and travelers who want to come to Versailles. Anna also built several guard posts every 20 to 30 kilometers to ensure the safety of the new road.
The concept of the guard post is quite unique. It was shaped like a castle guarded by at least 50 troops who had completed their training. Inside the castle were inns, food stalls, dormitories that housed the guard troops, and stables. Similar to the rest area on the highway.
Thanks to this network of highways, the price of essential goods at Versailles is getting cheaper. Prices of Versailles' mainstay goods such as surplus crops, cheese, milk, and river fish also became cheaper in the capital. Markets and other commercial areas are also getting crowded so that the money turnover is getting bigger.
After this, as he had talked about with Issac, Anna would continue with her next project. Mining exploration. Thanks to the talented people that Issac brought from the empire, he was ready to step into that stage.
The number of soldiers Versailles had also increased to 5000 men. They are well trained, disciplined, equipped with the best equipment. Their job is not just to fight. At least Anna divided her army into groups.
The first group was the elite Knights who were specifically tasked with keeping the security of Versailles and the entire Starfall region safe. They are trained to fight monsters, bandits, and threats that disturb the peace in the Starfall region.
There are also regular troops. They were the troops assigned to descend directly into the battlefield. Either for offensive or defensive missions. They are disciplined and organized and have their own duties.
The last one is the secret police. Their job is to infiltrate, supervise, and ensure that no one is making and planning chaos in the Starfall region. They are trained to do the dirty work. If you need to kill, kill. That's their motto.
Thanks to all that, Versailles slowly began to become a prima donna in the kingdom. Later his name will be famous throughout the continent.
