Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
A Warm Reunion And Surprising News
Venz hasn't changed. The only thing that has changed is the building that used to house the residents and the rows of shops are now just rubble. The orphanage that Issac built was also a victim of the fierceness of the red boy.
Fortunately, the nannies immediately evacuated the children and took them to Versailles. There were no casualties on the side of the children. But still. Seeing civilians being killed by war brings unpleasant memories.
The house that used to be Olivia's residence was also destroyed. He wanted to visit the house again. But it's too late. Lilianne and Margaret could only stare dejectedly at the ruins of buildings that no longer remained.
No one wants to take responsibility for this tragedy. More than 10,000 people were killed and others injured. The Prince Lewis faction claimed that this was the work of Prince William.
Prince William, meanwhile, cast the blame on Prince Lewis, who assumed that he had deliberately set the district of the Commoner on fire. In the end, it was caused by both of them. But no one wants to reconstruct the district of the Commoner.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of people became homeless. There are also those who fled to their territory and started a new life there. But the unlucky ones can't do anything. All can only accept their fate.
Aurellia has personally sent humanitarian aid to the victims. He built a tent, gave blankets, food and temporary shelter. So did Anna who officially provided assistance through Versailles.
But the recipients of the aid were limited. Likewise with the financial capabilities of Aurellia and Versailles. The region is indeed rich, but even they are maximizing their resources for investment in other fields.
Issac did think that this war was important but as he thought too, Although Issac deliberately allowed this war to drag on to weaken the financial and military power of the nobility. But if allowed to drag on, the economy in the region will also be affected.
The road he built was still crowded. But now most traders prefer to use ships from the port to carry their merchandise. The route, they will depart from the port to the east and pass through the Baltic estuary. And later, they will dock on the banks of the Baltic river that separates the Starfall region with the Garlin federation.
But still, transporting by ship was more expensive and the risk was greater. So he had to finish this war quickly once the opportunity came and the gap opened.
"Evil..why do they do all this?"
"really. I don't think they have any reason to burn this town down."
A look of light was seen in their eyes. Issac simply stroked the hair of the two of them gently to make them calm down.
"This is war, Lilianne, Margaret. No matter who fights, no matter which side wins or loses, the victim is an innocent citizen."
No matter where the world lives, it seems like it is. That is why Issac has made humanitarian law. His army that conquered a territory was strictly forbidden to plunder, plunder, and rape the civilian population.
Other than humanitarian reasons, another reason is to avoid futile conflict. Ensuring that the inhabitants of the conquered areas remain calm is important. It would be great if they sympathized. That was what his troops did when they managed to conquer the three nearby regions that are now military bases.
Within 10-15 days, he will arrive at Versailles soon.

"Is!! Missed you!!"
As soon as he got out of his carriage, Issac was immediately stormed by Anna who jumped at him. With a laugh, Issac caught Anna and turned her around. Hugged her.
She also really misses Anna.
Turns right. Anna is getting pretty. His skin is getting smoother and his body is getting taller. His body was also slim and very seductive in Issac's eyes. But more than that, he looks increasingly intelligent, assertive, and cheerful. Much has changed since he was given the responsibility of being Issac's deputy.
"Yes, I miss you Anna too. You look more beautiful. I'm grateful to be blessed by a fiancee like you."
Anna's face immediately flushed. Praised directly for making his heart beat fast. He hid his facial expression on Issac's chest.
Olivia was there too. Just like Anna, Olivia is also getting more beautiful and mature. His eyes described the nature of someone who truly had a strong determination. Isaac hugged Olivia.
"Welcome sir. It's good to see you back safely. Like Miss Anna, I miss you a lot too."
"Yes, Via. I'm the same. I really want to see you."
Tears began to drip from Olivia's eyes. He really missed Issac from the bottom of his heart. Okay it looks like he will take care of these two girls first. His two brothers are in Randall County. Aurellia was also going around in the villages near here. It seemed like he was interested in vineyards, apples, oranges, and others.
But as soon as Olivia and Anna let go of their embrace, Olivia gave a sealed letter. There's important news he should tell Issac right now.
"Sir, I got a letter from the head of the La-Sa Guild branch in the Reichstaag, from Miss Carolina."
As he read the letter, the news inside was truly shocking. The war between the Duke Manstein faction and the nobles who supported other princes began to break out. The reason was because of the killing of the emperor.
