Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 20: The Princess Wants to Visit?
hahhh, again a peaceful day.waken up by my sweet waitress, Olivia. then treated to a glass of herbal tea and a delicious breakfast.then go around enjoying the refreshing sunshine.ahhh, how peaceful!
no, I was joking about how maybe now I can rest. After the VIESTA was formed I, Nimitz, and the leaders of the organization in the form of people who attended the meeting at that time, we barely slept at all!
of course after the official VIESTA was formed we immediately consolidated our strength.from recruiting agents, preparing educational curriculum for new agents, making operating procedures as well as various other settings.the core is tiring!
well this is just the beginning.I'm sure in the future it will be more busy.so there is not much time to relax, right?
I've sent a message to the head of the Crow unit, Charles, about what happened in the Randall region.This message I sent along with the official envoy of the La-Sa guild.
in the letter I informed him that an official intelligence agency directly responsible to me had been formed and I ordered him to unite the Crow unit with the VIESTA. in addition I also appointed him head of the Venz branch. His operation will cover the Venz region and the surrounding noble territory.
I also sent some people as additional personnel so that the workload of the branch in Venz was not too heavy.
a few days later, I received a reply letter that was more or less grateful.In addition to the letter, I received files containing various information they had collected in the capital.
I think Charles's work is amazing, maybe if his performance continues like this I can make the Venz branch an operational standard for other branches.
well but that's the story at a later time. Now I'm reading various reports sent from the Venz branch.
quite a lot that interests me, but what interests me the most is that princess Aurellia will come to Randall's territory next week.I don't know what the intention of the princess.This is strange, this is strange, supposedly the princess is in school at the academy right now.even if she is a princess though, to take a holiday permit for 2 times in three months is not easy.....
I made a mental note to investigate the reason why the princess wanted to come all the way to Randall's territory. I wrote a letter to the Venz branch to immediately anticipate all the disturbances that could harm Aurellia's daughter. will bother if the princess why-not when entering Randall territory.
in addition I ordered the Randall and Rutsell branches to oversee the actions of the nobles affiliated with Duke Conrad. ah yes if we want to go to the territory of the capital, he said, we will definitely pass through the Earldom Rutsell region.it is located in the east of the Viscount Zen region.
I decided to build a branch in Rutsell's Earldom to oversee the movements and activities of them and Viscount Zen.
I don't know why again I feel the involvement of Duke Conrad and his faction in this matter.
as I was writing letters addressed to each branch, suddenly someone knocked on my office door. With my magic I was able to find out that it was Olivia. I let her in.
" it looks like you're working harder than ever sir. You can't push yourself like this. if you're sick, not only your men, but the whole Randall region will also be a hassle."
hehh, hearing him complain like that makes me want to tease him a little.
"ohh you're worried about me Olivia?"
hearing me say such a thing using a seductive tone, her face flushed red! ah this is that gap moe!!
"T-t-of course sir. J-if you fall ill, k-we'll all be in trouble. j-so please consider taking a break." Oh this girl! I immediately grabbed her face and pinched her cheek.
"ouch, what are you doing sir?!!"
"well, don't worry about my health. I'm not that easy to get sick. More importantly, would you like to accompany me for a walk tomorrow afternoon."
hearing her being invited for a walk by me, her face shone again.Now this is the new Olivia I know.then it was decided that me and Olivia will take a walk in the city of Chevron tomorrow afternoon.
****
at the Heinz Royal Palace, a woman wearing a grandiose gown commonly worn by the royal female family was walking towards the throne room.
to be honest he did not even know the reason why his father called him out all of a sudden.A letter from the palace reached him shortly after the noon schedule was over.It was said that he was called to return to the palace.
arriving in the throne room, instead of seeing his father, he instead found a young man who was about 25 years old.he was handsome, but a desire for gluttony and power-hungry radiated from him.
Lewis J. Heinz, the first son of King Heinz's first wife who is now sitting on the throne.By his side, Maximilian Conrad, Duke Conrad's heir apparent, stands beside him.
"Kakanda, why are you here? where's father? wouldn't a bad rumor about the kingdom be spread if a prince had sat on the throne even though his father was still in power as a king."
hearing the criticism from his sister, Lewis put on a sour face.
"dear, how dare you criticize me you stupid little brother! father is sick and assigns me to take care of the government.I am the rightful heir to this throne, after all! sooner or later I will become king. So what's wrong?!!"
Aurellia exhaled deeply. You stupid brother.what do you really think.if the king heard what he said just now, wouldn't he be very and angry and punish Lewis?
" if that is so you should create your own office and call me there instead of acting as if you were a king."
hearing his brother's sharp innuendo, Lewis was furious.he let out his murderous air.Make the nobles who were in the throne room, almost all of them Duke Conrad faction, quiver in fear.
but that air did not even make Aurellia tremble at all. she remained casually standing and gazing directly at the prince and Maximilian.
in the end Aurellia also released her killing aura.This even made the nobles, including Maximilian, fall on their knees so much as not to hold Aurellia's power.
while Lewis is also close to kneeling but can eventually hold back.The pressure is much stronger than Lewis.in fact in all fields, Aurellia is the most talented among her other siblings.
however due to her gender as a woman and her status as a second child of a concubine, she barely gained the right to inherit the throne at all.
many regret the status of Aurellia.if she was a male, there might be an opportunity for them to organize this matter and can include themselves in the struggle for the throne.
finally Aurellia pressed back the air to kill him troublesome, his grunts inwardly.
"alright I don't have much time to be here continuously. Get to the point.What business are you calling me here for?"
holding back his anger, Lewis orders one of his servants to deliver a letter, which is an order to investigate Randall's territory.
recently they have made rapid progress in the economy.Visitors are beginning to dwindle in their territory, especially the cities of Romeon and Chevron.beggars and abandoned children are also barely seen anymore.
rumors of progress in Romeon circulated, many assume that it was thanks to one of the Guilds that had just stood for four years in the Randall region. La-Sa Guild. Its business network such as lodging, restaurants, public baths, and several production units handled by them brought abundant profits for Randall.
but there are also bad rumors. The La-Sa guild had kidnapped abandoned children, vagabonds, and beggars to employ them forcibly.In order to do so, they bribed Marquis Randall into silence.
aurellia's job is to ascertain the truth of the rumor.she feels a little awkward actually. La-Sa Guild is very professional and has integrity in their business.Even in their own capital city their business network has helped many people to get jobs.
especially about Marquis Randall.he is one of the nobles admired by Aurellia because of his intelligence in managing the territory.he is also an honest and responsible person in his post. and more importantly he is not arbitrary.
to Aurellia, she was one reflection of how a noble should be.
but how else.in this letter there is a stamp and signature of the king so he has no choice. if he refuses it may be sanctioned by the king.
after all he also wanted to see how the La-Sa Guild worked directly at its headquarters, as well as discussing some matters with Marquis Randall.
he accepted this job and went straight from the throne room.what he did not realize was that when he came out, the nobles except Maximilian and Lewis were grinning vilely. it was as if something tragic that would befall Aurellia would happen.
