Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 45: Work Begins!
Hiahh in the end I have to face annoying things again! the events within the dungeon of the academy spread rapidly! I did not expect that it would only take one day, this event had already spread throughout the entire academy!
the outcome? well, I was summoned to the royal court in the end. Duke Storm seems to want to look for a scapegoat but it seems he's wrong people. Hey I'm not that easy to blame stupid!
somehow I am the son of Marquis Randall who has a strong influence in this kingdom. Not long ago I was also officially appointed to the nobility.and more importantly, it was clearly Gilbert's own fault right?
I was also helped by the testimony of my classmates.hehhh, thank you guys.
in the end, I was found not guilty of this incident.on the contrary, Duke Storm who tried to blame me instead found out that his prestige had come down. With this, it was, it is likely that the influence of the second prince William G. Heinz will also decline.
right too, before proceeding, I will draw a political map of the kingdom.
King Leonidas is getting older and most likely, his life will not be long.so from that, three princes who declare themselves as the rightful heir to the throne next, vying for the crown of the king.
the first and most powerful support among the nobles and other royalty was the first Prince. Lewis J. Heinz was the first child of King Leonidas and his legal wife.
there was nothing special about him other than how stupid he was and his incompetence was. That was probably why Duke Conrad wanted to support him sitting on the throne seat and make him a puppet.
the second was 24-year-old Prince William J. Heinz. The second son of King Leonidas and his legal wife. only slightly stronger physically than Prince Lewis, his main support came from Duke Storm and his factions, including the Albatross Knight family.
well, his muscular-brain figure might have attracted the interest of the Knight family.
and the third is Prince David J. Heinz. aged 22 years. Unlike the other competitors, he actually got the support of traders.
if they wanted to, they could have boycotted access to clothing and food to the nobles.well, that power was quite terrible.but it was of no benefit to them.
well more or less that's the political map of Heinz's work now.I don't really care who will rule.The result will be the same. I hope princess Aurellia will advance in the throne conflict but since on this continent women are considered second-class citizens, well, I think it takes a difficult process.
okay, let's go back to the tragedy in the Dungeon. Fortunately the adventurers are fine. I had noticed that something was wrong from the start so I placed a magic shield secretly on their bodies.
Gerard-sensei also looks healthy.although he was a little late in installing the Barrier, somehow he still managed to survive the attack.well somehow he was the central Guild Head anyway.
now I'm in my dorm. Well, even though my men say, "sir Issac just relax. enjoy your youth and we'll take care of everything." still three stacks of files are in front of me. What the hell is this?!
alright even if I continue to curse them, my work will not just disappear.let's read these reports one by one.
ohh, Hudson has finished organizing a private army for me! so fast! training arenas and military barracks have been established.the recruitment process is also complete.they will be trained directly in that place in accordance with the curriculum that has been compiled by Hudson and I. he would also be helped by his subordinates whom he could trust.
the number is still five hundred. that's a little, but for now it's quite so long ago.As much as possible I want to be the existence of this elite army as a secret first.the fewer the number will be better. I intend to improve their quality.
as for the secret unit, I think that person is really doing his job well.he has already started to prepare troops with very extraordinary individual abilities. most of him recruited from dark guilds scattered in various regions of the kingdom.it seems that I have to give special rewards for him later.
well, there are still many reports that I have to read. but at least the things that are a priority have been resolved. yosh let's get to work!
