THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 67: WHAT CAN CHILDREN DO?
Hearing his son's words, Limde did not panic at all. He continued to eat the meat in front of him while saying coldly "Why do you look so worried like that? As a member of the Noem Family then you shouldn't easily panic just because of a small matter, isn't that just a new noble ruling in our 3 cities? I've heard it, it's just an 11-year-old with no background whatsoever. What do you think kids can do like that?".
At this time Horfa was still worried "But father, I got the information that this child was very unique. Although he was very young, he fought an important battle to help the 4th prince win the Cavalry Kingdom first".
"Are you stupid?" said Limde, who looked slightly disappointed at his son "It was all a political hoax from the other princes, they spread such news so that the king did not think that the figure who defeated the Cavalry Kingdom was the 4th prince. If the 4th prince defeated the Cavalry Kingdom using his own strength then he would instantly become the crown prince, the king would greatly appreciate it. Therefore, they used this child named Myro to distract that the 4th prince was not winning using his own power but relying on the help of others".
"Dad, is it really like that?" said Horfa hesitantly.
"You are too young to see through the politics of a kingdom!" said Limde as if he could know everything "How could an 11-year-old with no background play a role in defeating the Cavalry Kingdom? Even to hold a sword then his hand must have trembled in fear. Horfa, you need to learn more! In any case in the future, you will be my successor as the head of the Noem Family".
"I understand father", said Horfa who can believe in his father, let alone the figure of his father is the person who brought the Noem family to be great as it is now, this made Horfa feel that her father would not make a mistake "Then, we have absolutely no need to welcome this new noble, I do, father?".
Limde who had finished the meat on the table shook his head "Horfa, you still don't understand. Although this boy had no power, at least the Baron noble title he had was the original title of Azeroth Kingdom. So we still have to greet him, prepare the best chef to make a dinner party when the new noble comes to this Loth City".
"At the party, we can also judge how the nature of this new noble is. As long as he does not touch the interests of the iron mines belonging to our family then I do not mind to support him as the ruler here, but if he dares to try to seize our iron mines then the existence of this nobleman is not necessary. I hope this kid is smart enough to know that anyone who dares to touch our iron mines should be ready to die, if he understands then we might be able to be close friends with each other. After all our family is indeed rich but does not have any peerage, this child might be able to become our way to obtain the title of nobility in the future".
Horfa's eyes shone upon this, and the title of nobility was an honor sought by many, especially wealthy merchants such as the Noem family.
One day the iron mines will run out, as long as they do, they will be poor. But if they had the royal title of the Kingdom of Azeroth, they would still be honored unless the Kingdom of Azeroth was defeated one day.
"Father need not worry, I will allow the chefs to prepare their best meal" said Horfa who left this room as quickly as possible to prepare the chefs.
Seeing Horfa leaving, Limde slightly shook his head "Horfa is still too young, he must learn more so that the Noem Family will someday not decline. Besides I have to make sure the Sild Family and this new noble don't cooperate with each other, if they cooperate then things must get worse".
...----------------...
Myro was now still moving towards the direction of Loth City which was the nearest city of the Capital of the Cavalry Province.
When Myro was staring around, more precisely Myro was trying to observe what kind of territory he would have later.
Here there is absolutely nothing but grasslands, even the number of trees is very few that really shows the reason why this place was once named the Kingdom of the Cavalry. With a lot of grass around, this place is perfect for feeding horses.
In addition, the road from the Capital of the Cavalry Province to Loth City had not been formed in the least. At most there are only dirt roads that make it very difficult to go to Loth City, it seems that the Cavalry Kingdom used to be poor so it could not build a road from stone or anything.
"Even to the City of Loth there is no road except the dirt road, this must make it difficult for traders to come here. How could merchants be interested in coming to Loth City if there has not been formed a stone road that facilitates the journey of the merchant caravan and there are still many bandits?", Myro said with a bitter smile, he knew this basic from the previous world that the better the road is formed, the easier the passage of trade in an area.
Feld who was more understanding about building the city said "From the beginning, the city that became the lord's territory was most likely indeed the city left behind by the Cavalry Kingdom. Therefore, they did not make any way towards Loth City, they were not interested in spending money on an insignificant city. Loth City, Vendes City and Rorec City there had absolutely no value whatsoever to the Cavalry Kingdom just yet, they considered it pointless to spend money on the advancement of these 3 cities".
Falka who was in front of Myro suddenly said "Master, Loth City is ahead! Now we can see some buildings in the distance!".
Myro looked towards where Falka was pointing to find a city surrounded by a wooden fence.
In the vicinity of the city there are several rice fields that most likely belong to the residents here, but the number is very small.
The amount of rice they planted was not even enough to feed the residents in the city, let alone to be sold to other regions.
"After arriving in the city, we have a lot of work to do, I expect your help!", said Myro who knew that since he arrived in the city then he had to take care of the most basic problem first, namely the problem of food.
"Okay, sir!", replied everyone firmly.
Myro and his troops were getting closer to the city of Loth.
