Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Nostalgic
It's probably been two months since her boyfriend got pregnant. One more month the wedding will be held. Jeremiah Bless who was in charge of it had prepared various things. As usual, he was very excited.
Meanwhile, Issac prioritized that Aurellia and Margaret rest so that he was very busy taking care of the various jobs of both of them. Well, he could not sleep for months and it would still be fine.
Not only Aurellia and Margaret, he also asked Anna and Lilianne to rest. So in addition to doing government business, Issac also took over the work of Dukedom Starfall and Dukedom Balzaac.
Especially now, the eastern part of the empire that was under the control of the Mariendolf family had united with the kingdom. Using Aurellia's authority, he appointed the Mariendolf family to govern the new province. As for Chris, he was made head of parliament.
Of course it made the Grand Aria empire in an uproar. A total of 30,000 troops from the Duke Manstein faction and Prince Fritz attempted to retake the territory but all they encountered was failure.
Well, they're at war with each other. Such an army would not be enough to attack the Kingdom of Heinz much less to conquer its territory.
Killed two birds with one stone. The kingdom became more and more advanced because of the considerable amount of technology and resources coming from the empire, her lovers were also already safe.
Issac was still struggling to sign the documents, when one of his officers said that a woman wanted to meet him. That was Maria.
As Issac let in, a woman with blond hair and orange eyes entered his office. Its mature carving brings its own charm. If he is not engaged to Savoy, there will be many nobles who are after him.
"Welcome Miss Maria. Thank you for bothering to come away from your territory to the kingdom of Heinz. Please sit on the sofa. Make yourself as comfortable as possible."
"Thank you Mr. Issac. Then I'll sit down."
Mary sat across from Issac. A waiter came in with a tray carrying Seteko tea, two empty cups, and two dishes containing snacks. After putting the tray down, he bailed out of his office.
"I heard that the marriage between you and your lover is about to take place? Congratulations on the wedding, Mr. Issac."
"Thank you Miss Maria. By the way, when will the wedding with Marquis Savoy take place?"
"No. I think this engagement will soon be annulled by me and her so that the marriage will never happen."
Oopss..this is Mary's personal matter with Savoy. So he did not want to interfere in their affairs any further. At least for now.
Mary spoke many things with Issac. Whether it's nostalgic for him with their past while still in the battlefield or telling each other their lives before the war broke out.
This is a refreshing chat for Issac himself. He has not remembered his past life for a long time. Well, even now he still keeps it a secret that he is a reincarnator to everyone.
Maria is the son of a wealthy family. His father was the owner of a multinational company engaged in oil and gas mining. His mother was the rector of one of the prestigious universities.
To fulfill his duties in the country, he went to the battlefield as a medical volunteer who served in the back line. Because of her good personality, she is liked by many people making her more famous and considered as a Goddess of salvation by many soldiers and others.
Issac also recounts his past life before the war broke out. Contrary to Maria, Issac was just a little boy with no parents born in the slums.
There are rumors that he is the son of a prostitute and his father is a corrupt official who ran away from the responsibility of raising him. But based on another story, his parents died of illness.
A boring and cliche story. He was lucky to have a smart head. But that's all. For the cost of living, he had to work hard being a pelvic coolie and other odd jobs.
"That's the story. Boring right? Well, in the world I'm lucky to have good parents and a happy family. That's why I would do anything to protect them."
Mary listened to all the stories carefully. I don't know why there was regret in his heart. Had he met her sooner, perhaps she would not have had such a difficult time.
After that, they started another serious conversation. Maria intends to travel around the kingdom in search of new business potential that she can explore. The meeting continued until sunset on the western horizon.
