Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Problem of Refugees

Bodies are scattered everywhere. The smell of blood, the cries of small children, the screams of pain, and the smoke caused by the flames burning houses filled the sky. This was one of the places inhabited by the black dog tribe in the Garlin federation. They were a tribe that opposed the formation of a monarchy and suffered the same fate, no, even worse than the silver wolf tribe.

They fought and lost. Then ostracized. Most of them were even slaughtered. Children, women, and the elderly. Anyone who gets in their way will have bad luck.

"The resistance of the black dog tribe has been muted. Should we finish off all those who oppose us, sir?"

A reddish-yellow haired girl with flame-like eyes stood next to a man. On his head, there were two fox ears and a tail on the back of his body.

Beside him, a man stood with a sharp look. A bloodlust filled his body. Those who saw his eyes would feel as if this man was a life-seeking angel. He has the same characteristics as the girl next to him.

"Not enough, not enough! For the sake of mastering and avenging us in the human race, greater power is required! No matter how, we must gather strength!"

The girl didn't say anything more. He just shut up and nodded. It seemed like the determination he had had was unanimous. He would follow the man beside him wherever he went.

"Uhhh.....Ahn....Ahhhh!! Hey, slow down Is! You make me feel weird!"

"No, no! You should slow down, Sasha...Huh!"

Issac is now in the western border province under the control of the Randall family. Of course, Issac took the time to visit Sasha and Misha. And tonight, they're running a 'rutinant ritual'.

I don't know why all her lovers are building up weird habits. Especially Sasha and Misha. They both make cowgirl a favorite position.

As Sasha continued to shake her hips, a strange sensation came from under her body! A few seconds later, Issac and Sasha****** simultaneously!

"Hahhh..... Thanks Issac. Making love with you always feels so good. I'm happy."

Well, Issac himself still felt hard, so he did it one more time! Sasha could only gasp and groan for an attack from Issac. A few minutes later, he came back *******.

Sasha who was still in an afterglow condition embraced Issac with a satisfied face and kissed him many times as if there really was no tomorrow!

"Since you become a Duke and chief of staff of the palace, you rarely spend time with the two of us right? I know you're busy but...don't forget us okay?"

Issac who was still hugging Sasha kissed her lips and nose which made Sasha's cheeks feel hot. While Misha, she was fast asleep from exhaustion after 'playing' with Issac before Sasha came.

"I'm sorry yes. That's absolutely true. But from now on, I'll spend a lot of time with you two because I don't want you to get away from me."

Moments after making out, they both fell asleep.

The main purpose of Issac coming to the border province in the west is indeed to visit and have fun with Sasha and Misha. But he also has a side goal that is no less important.

Although the western border had been closed, waves of refugees from the empire kept coming. In addition to Fear of being a victim because of being forced to fight on the front lines, the refugees also had nothing but the clothes they were wearing as all their treasures had been drained away by their masters.

That's why they fled to the kingdom. The Kingdom of Heinz had no problem accommodating them even granting new citizenship to the refugees. But this is precisely what makes the problem even more complicated.

Many of them did not wish to be made citizens of the Heinz kingdom. They were still loyal to their empire and hometown. If this continues to be left unchecked, friction between the citizens of the kingdom and the empire will happen sooner or later.

Therefore, he will discuss this matter with the landlords of the region which borders directly with the western border. Mariendolf Margrave. He invited Angelica, Carolina, Agatha, and Chris to discuss the matter.

Until now, Mariendolf's position remained neutral on the grounds that they had to guard the border to the east. That is quite reasonable considering that the kingdom of Heinz is in its time of resurrection. Conflicting nobles were afraid of the internal condition of the kingdom that had improved.

That was why they did not force Mariendolf to intervene in the bloody conflict they were in.

In fact, some nobles from the empire tried to drag the nobles in the kingdom of Heinz to help them in the war. The dukes and other nobles reported that envoys from each faction of the empire came to them and requested cooperation from them.

But what the nobles of the empire did not know, the noble system in the kingdom of Heinz was already very different in the past. They are still given autonomy to manage their respective territories. But they were not granted the right to establish foreign relations except with direct royal permission.

After all, they also did not have a private army anymore. If they help, they can't do much.

That was why the nobles from the empire came home empty-handed. Moreover, the managers of the territory that Issac chose also followed the same line with the government, namely the policy of non-interventionism.

The next morning, Issac left for the meeting place. A luxury hotel in the city of Romeon belongs to the La-Sa Guild. They're all gonna be here using portal magic. Sure enough, they had arrived earlier than Issac.

"Welcome to the kingdom, could it be that I should say that to all of you? I don't think it's necessary."

But Issac and the others are aware that this is not a good time to make out. Well, they still have plenty of time to pamper themselves later. Now is the time to get serious first.

"Alright let's get straight to the point. As the person in charge of the state of the imperial people, I apologize for having overwhelmed the kingdom to take care of our people who fled to the kingdom."

Angelica and Chris both lowered their heads. Issac immediately prevented them from doing so. They both took care of everything well. From the beginning, it wasn't the apology he wanted to hear from them.

"No need to apologize. I'm sure you've done your best to treat them. Basically, the kingdom itself does not mind to protect the refugees.

"But with the record, they must become royal citizens and swear allegiance to Queen Aurellia. We don't want friction between the locals and the refugees."

There was an intention behind Issac's desire to make the refugees royal citizens. First, the refugees, fortunately, are made up of many talented people. Teachers, accountants, craftsmen, engineers, and others.

Although it had advanced, the kingdom still needed a lot of human resources to build the kingdom. By absorbing the refugees, the population will increase and the government will get many experts to support the kingdom.

Although many refused to become part of the kingdom and were determined to return to the country when conditions became more stable, many of them wanted to join the kingdom.

Issac with Aurellia's permission had formed a task force that took care of the needs of these people. They were interviewed and asked what their skills were. After that, they would be placed in a suitable position and get a guarantee of life in the kingdom.

This process has been going on for quite a while. Hundreds of people were willing to swear allegiance to Queen Aurellia. It's not that Chris, Angelica, and Carolina don't know that. They do regret the actions of Issac but they have no right to prevent it from happening.

"I understand your intentions. That means a little problem is solved. But we also cannot let the human resources of the Empire continue to run towards the kingdom."

Carolina is chiming in on Issac. Although he was the chairman of the La-Sa Guild branch in the empire that basically had affiliations with the kingdom, he was also still an imperial citizen who wanted to protect his citizens in his own way.

"Lina's right. We are short of many things now. Letting the experts from the empire flow into the kingdom continuously would make the Empire lack of those experts."

Chris also corroborates Carolina's argument. They were both at first glance similar to Aurellia and Margaret. Could it be that the two of them changed their minds after seeing the pain of the internal conflict in Grand Aria?

"of course. If I were in your position, I would have the same view. But you two can't do much, can you?

"Angie who from now on will act as a representative of the Mariendolf family as well as the two of you must have tried your best to finance them. But there's always a gap, right?"

The refugees not only escaped by the great road between Mariendolf and Randall. Randall's patrolling border regiments often come into contact with refugees fleeing through the jungle. They caught him and took him to the safe zone.

"Then I have a proposal. The kingdom also has an interest in stemming friction. Therefore, we will provide assistance to Mariendolf in the form of loans, grants, and finished goods. After that Mariendolf would take care of the needs of the refugees and not let them run to the kingdom.

"Agatha, can you lend your territory to become a shelter? Maybe Mariendolf won't be enough to hold a lot of people."

Agatha who was daritadi just silently listening now nodded. His attitude that became quiet like this made Issac feel a little lonely.

"No problem. Schafer's surname has been restored thanks to the efforts of Chris and Angie. I'll take that as a form of repayment of my debt to the Mariendolf family."

After long talks, a deal was formed and a letter of agreement was made. Issac was given full authority to resolve the issue by Aurellia. After all, the deal he had made wasn't too bad.

After the official meeting was over, Carolina stood up and walked to the front of Issac then....Chuu boldly sat on Issac's lap and kissed him. He was gladly welcomed by Issac. While Chris and the others just looked at them with reddened faces.

"cheat! Chris cheated! I want to too!"

And that morning, in one of the hotel rooms, the moans and shouts of the girls filled the hotel room. Makes Issac more excited.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

While on the western border talks were taking place, the border regiments in the East were patrolling. Patrols are done in two places. The first is the forest and the second is the river.

At first nothing happened. But as the eastern border regiment was patrolling the river, suddenly ten high-speed boats attacked the patrol boat with arrows and magic. Fortunately, the border forces swiftly counterattacked.

The boat that attacked the patrol contained fox-eared beastmen and cats. The patrol destroyed two boats and captured three others. The rest fled to the banks of the river in Garlin. There were no royal casualties.

The border regiment immediately sent a letter through the pigeons to Anna. Anna, who was the representative of Issac, immediately forwarded the message to Aurellia who was in the palace. As soon as he got the message, his hunch turned out not to miss.

The war with the Garlin federation may not be inevitable for a long time.
