Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 80: The First Duty of an Underling
after last night's incident, I thought there would be awkwardness between me and Sasha's sister, but it turned out that beyond my expectations, Sasha still acted as usual today. shy and still often nagging me. I think Sasha assumed that last night nothing happened.well, if Sasha wanted to play like that, I would also come along. after all it would be strange if Sasha suddenly became quiet when faced with me right?
now we're having breakfast as usual.me, my two brothers and my sister, as well as Anna. yeah, don't ask, please, being surrounded by beauties like them made me get jealous and envious gazes from the male students in the academy.especially the nobles.but there is no need to be bothered with that right?
today's school is closed even though it is not a weekend. I don't know what is on the minds of the teachers.although I am grateful anyway because today I have to report the progress of regional development by my superior, Aurellia. we decided to turn one of the VIP Rooms in the library into our office.
documents from the La-Sa Guild and VIESTA are already mounting in my room.well, deja vu, there will be plenty of work this time.
"Sister Is, are you leaving yet? why rush once." Lili asked that when I finished eating and wanted to leave.
I smiled and stroked his head. uwahh, the expression he had on Elus was so cute!
"Well, there's something I have to do today. I might just finish the night, but I promise I'll spend more time with you guys later."
they look a little dissatisfied but because they know they will definitely keep their promises, they let me go. Well I plan to take them on a tour later.so let's wait for the date of the game!
I immediately went to the dormitory, picked up the piles of stacked paper and stuffed it into the spatial pouch and then headed straight for the library.
arriving at the 'office', Aurellia is already standby. well, a good boss must always arrive first than his subordinates! he was busy reading several books. beside him there was a maid, concurrently also become a bodyguard.if I count, maybe his strength is equivalent to Grade one. No, he is stronger. although it has not touched up to the special Grade.
how am I supposed to say this? I have no doubt that the princess's bodyguards are strong.that's for sure.but why didn't the royalty provide much stronger bodyguards? forget it. If Aurellia doesn't mind that, I don't have the right to protest right?
"oh you've come Issac! why did you come empty handed? have you memorized everything in your head?"
Of course not Aurellia! well, I could have memorized all the reports my subordinates gave me, but it would be troublesome so I put away the idea.
"Well that's the princess's secret. I'll give you an explanation later. after working hours at Start."
there's still fifteen minutes left. Aurellia offered me tea, which of course I accepted with pleasure.we started talking about some things outside of work.including yesterday afternoon.it turned out that she knew about the incident through Misha.
well luckily I wasn't injured so Aurellia wasn't too worried.she also realized that I wasn't that weak so everything was fine.
15 Minutes later, we ended the conversation outside of this job.okay, it was time to work.before that Aurellia asked her Maid to leave the room.she looked reluctant, she looked reluctant, but in the end he obeyed Aurellia because it was an order.
after the maid came out, I immediately pulled out the documents I needed for Aurellia. Seeing my magic this princess was surprised.well, there was no need to ask why. I finally explained that this is my special magic and asked Aurellia to keep it a secret. Aurellia had no choice. there would be a scattered furore if a brat used magic like this and it would be difficult to deal with.so let this be a secret.
"Alright, let's start from the progress of the construction of public facilities in Adonia. The first is a building to learn children. the development progress has been 90 percent. the outer building has been finished. just take care of the interior only.if there are no obstacles, the weekend is finished and ready to be used for the next day.
second, the reshuffle and addition of warehouses. In the future, we will develop other commodities in Adonia.including among them for food purposes. Therefore, the addition of warehouses and their capacity is very necessary. for the reshuffle, it is almost finished.in addition to the renovation, the storage capacity is also added.enough to store the food of the villagers during the winter.
as for the addition of the warehouse, it has only become a plan.we will first test the extent to which this renovated warehouse can store inventory.if it turns out to be lacking, we will immediately add it."
Aurellia seemed satisfied with the performance of the construction workers. Honestly I was also satisfied.they were not part of the La-Sa guild but rather the people we had recruited and paid to work on various projects. they are very disciplined and regular in their work.they can even finish their work a little before the deadline date arrives.it looks like we have to prepare more budgets for their bonuses outside of the salary we usually pay.
I also told Aurellia about the possibility to expand the village area by clearing the land in the forest surrounding Adonia. This was only my estimation, but as the village grew, this was only my estimation, many people from other regions will come to find work.We also hunt for labor to fill various positions available later.
so, the expansion of the territory would be something necessary. Aurellia was excited to hear this topic but immediately puffed her cheeks as I said that we can't do this any time soon.it will require huge funds and a huge HR absorption.
I don't mind it, but it will require a complicated procedure given that Adonia is a territory directly managed by the royal family.Even with the help of Aurellia though, this won't be easy. I was able to complete this project two years later.
hey Don't put on a face like that Aurellia.I smiled wryly.but as expected of Aurellia, she understood what I thought so she herself did not mind.
"Truely Issac, we need an army that can keep Adonijah safe even if we're not there.I want you to prepare that.sorry yes, I don't think we can count on the Knights here."
I'm nodding. Aurellia was right.we cannot rely on the Knights to keep Adonia safe.This is not because they are weak.their limited number.they are focused on keeping the security of the capital and the academy city only. there is no way the nobles who take care of this will involve them in maintaining the security of our village.
"Well Princess, I will prepare it. I will make an announcement and an advertisement tomorrow and then spread it the day after tomorrow."
Aurellia handed this detail to me. This will be my chance to engage my personal forces directly but not all. I will look for people other than them to take care of the entire village.
as for our dealings with the nobles, the princess will finish it. I will deal with the merchants later.well, not me actually. I will rely on Nimitz to do something like this.
after I finished my report, I took out two stacks of documents and gave them to the princess.Seeing that the princess was dumbfounded
"Now, this is a document that requires a princess's signature.be sure to read it well and do not miss anything important okay!"
Aurellia gave a vengeful look to me. Well, she was angry! alright, I will accompany her until Aurellia has completely finished her work.Aurellia spirit!
****
It took quite a long time until Aurellia's work was finally completed. Issac and Aurellia left the VIP room of the library and eventually split up. Issac walked down the street to the Dormitory alone, but his steps came to a halt.
he sensed the existence of one of his subordinates.it was Black Cat. he appeared before Issac and immediately knelt down. Issac did not like this kind of thing so he immediately asked Black Cat to convey the point.
hearing some information from Black Cat, Issac smiled.no, he grinned.the grin even made Black Cat's hair stand up. his body goosebumps.he knew that his master was planning something yan, he didn't have to say that.
after it was done, Black Cat directly left from before him. Issac was still grinning.
"So that's what you want Clifford. Well, I don't mind. I'll face you head-on if that's what you want."
saying that, Issac continued walking to his dorm with a myriad of plans in his head.
