Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 63: News From the Palace
"I'm sorry Mr. Issac! Forgive me!"
now Wolf is prostrating himself in front of me. This is because of the events of three days ago.he blames himself because he does not exist precisely when the circumstances are urgent and I need his help.
holy jeez! actually, he doesn't need to be like this. In any case, I am the one who gave him the task to keep an eye on the Dark Guilds that exist in the Capital and other regions.
but even so, it seems like he still blames himself.I am also confused about how to because all his circumstances have improved.
hahh, if this is how it is, maybe I should give him a little 'punishment'.
"Haisshh well.You know now I'm not in the mood to read the various reports you brought. Instead, I want you to read all the reports you brought for me. take that as punishment for you."
Wolf looked doubtful, "Is that alright sir?"
I shrugged my shoulders casually,
"That's an order." Well that way Wolf already has no choice, right?
"As you please, sir." Wolf took out two sheets of paper stacked next to him.
"Then master, let's start from the conditions in the palace after that event."
he cleared his throat a little and read the report,
"The first thing was, because of that incident, the Knight Commander in charge of overseeing and training the disciples in the camp, Kimberley, was fired from his position on the grounds of being negligent in his work and is now facing his term of detention."
ehhh Commander Kimberley not only fired and even imprisoned? hmmm, it seems like the royal family has wasted a person as great as him.
wait a minute don't-don't...
"Is this the work of the head of the Royal Knight so that he can still secure his position as the head of the Knight?"
The Royal Knight is currently undergoing such a strong internal upheaval.well as always, it's a matter of position. and Kimberley was one of the most talented knights who became a formidable opponent to the present knight chief.
Wolf nodded, "It seems so. in fact, thanks to him there was not a single casualty from the fallen disciple. Likely, this was the knight's head's move to get rid of an opponent who could potentially shift it."
ohh it turns out like that apparently. It seems like the royal family also closed their eyes yes. it's a pity this must happen to Kimberley. poor subordinates.but want anything, anyway, Kimberley has been stalling for time to let my brother and the princess go. So, I will do something for her later.
"alright, are there any reports from the palace?"
"Still Mr. It seems, Maurice Schazar and Louis Sera gained great appreciation from the royal family."
hearing that I raised my head. Hou? they get appreciation? how interesting!
"ohhh, they must have killed those students, right?"
Wolf tilted his head, "Aren't you surprised sir?"
of course, "No. to me it is nothing new. Wherever it is and whoever it is, man always wants to take advantage of the suffering of others. for Maurice Schazar and Louis Sera to realize that the intruders had not touched the ordinary people's student camp at all, it was a golden opportunity for them to take advantage.
they would have randomly 'pointed' the person they were going to target and by then they would have killed him immediately on the grounds that the disciple was a spy of the intruders. geez, those bastards, I feel like I'd really like to tear their bodies apart!"
huhh, it seems like I was carried away by emotions.I drank a cup of tea that was getting cold.okay, I've calmed down now.
"then did they get an amazing gift? like a territory or a noble title?"
"unfortunately and fortunately, they didn't get it. they were indeed given a huge amount of money but it seemed like the royal family was aware that what the two boys were doing was nothing more than ordinary murder.it was common to clear their names."
"Good then.right, compensate the families of the disciples they killed.I would at least not let their lives go to waste."
"well sir, we'll find their families and compensate them as you requested.Next is Mr. Hudson's report."
ohhh Hudson? let's hear the report from him!
"your personal forces have completed training.The 500 people are ready to be deployed to the battlefield whenever you want.In addition, the construction of dormitories for their residence is also ready. the funds you gave even excess.the plan, Hudson also wants to recruit blacksmiths into this army.how about master?"
"ah it's a good idea to recruit blacksmiths into my army.they will be very useful in providing weaponry to my troops.so it doesn't matter.but..."
Wolf looked puzzled, "What's the matter, sir? seems like something bothers you?"
"Yes, I was just wondering what about the iron ore reserves they would use to make the weapons I needed. Okay, Wolf, that's it, ask Nimitz to find the best miners in the entire country. Also ask him to invest in areas that have abundant iron reserves.I intend to open a mine."
"Well shall I tell Mr Hudson and Mr Nimitz later.is there any more master?"
hmmm it seems like there is no more.
"Nothing.I guess for today that's enough.ah right too. I'm going to try to lobby the princess to get Kimberley out. Once she gets out of jail, take her in front of Hudson. I want a great person like her by my side. thanks for your hard work, you can go."
Wolf bent his body and instantly disappeared from before me.
hahh finally finished as well.I was a bit confused as to what to do now, but it seems like I should immediately unite the Anti Nobles Faction and subvert the Nobles Faction.
I have some ways but as usual, I lack people.want how else.I feel I have to fight harder.well, if it is this way, if it is, I have to meet a special candidate and the right person to do this mission.
all right, tomorrow let's meet that guy.
