The Thousand Year Dynasty
14.5. Anna Side Story Part 7's
That afternoon Anna arrived at the port of Xin city. After the provisional leadership was created, Anna was now able to leave the city of Xa in the Cleyra region. Four days after he conquered the city.
The areas of Harbring, Cleyra, Solidor, Nalbina, and Nabradia, or so-called western leadership areas will all be held by Helen. Including the Xin city area.
It was seen Nikolai coming to greet when Anna's ship began to dock.
"How are you, An?" Greet Nikolai when Anna is close to him.
"More relieved, Nik. What about you? I see something new in this harbor?" Anna stared at the dozens of sailing ships that threw cages in the deep waters around the Xin city dock.
"Yes, as you can see. The royal fleet of warships from the harbors of Harbring and Cleyra regions, were all sent here. After the leadership area was formed" Nikolai explained.
"Gathering the rest of the fleet to make it easier to monitor" Anna responded. "But if it is that much, it is quite difficult also to do maintenance" he added.
"I heard that the ships will be sent to the Western city to be dismantled when all this is done" Nikolai explained.
"I think it's better that way" Anna replied quickly.

"How about this town?" Nata asked again as they were having lunch at the Pharos warrior headquarters in Xin city.
The mark was the residence of the nobles who fled during the first raid of Xin city some time ago.
"As you saw for yourself, this town has been running for the past two days. Food supplies and other necessities for the western leadership were sent from the Western City through this city" Nikolai began to tell stories while feeding pieces of potatoes into his mouth.
"Although the great merchants were already out of this city, but the local merchants still continued to trade and opened their shops and stalls within the city. Aided by the provision of the necessary supply of goods this city from the Pharos region" Nikolai still tells the story.
Anna is seen listening to Nikolai's story carefully. Who also coolly feed the food from the plate in front of his desk.
"Then what about the nobles who are still in this city?" Ask Anna then.
"Some are still in this place. Some have been moved to the city of Wang south of Nalbina. Reportedly they will be given a director about the new regulations in this region later" explained Nikolai who had started to give his dinner plate.
"About the removal of that noble status?" Anna asked. What Nikolai answered with a small nod.
"Oh, yes. Galvin was also caught. All this time he was hiding in Song city in Solidor region" said Nikolai who was just reminded of this. "Now he has also been transferred to Wang city with other nobles" he continued later.
"As it turned out" Anna stuffed her last potato into her mouth. "If lord Sabil?" Ask again.
"It's still in town. He helped to run the city the day after the entire Urbar kingdom fell" Nikolai replied after gulping down a drink in his glass.
"Good then" Anna said quickly. Then start to clean the dinner plates.
"You're going to see him?" Ask Nikolai later.
"I guess" Anna replied as she stood up.

Shortly after noon, Anna single-handedly went to the house of Sabil not far from the army headquarters of Pharos.
Anna was already at the Previa family home. He entered the house because there was no one in the house. Neither in his yard, nor in his house.
The living room looked dark and quiet. Not a single window was open. It looks like a house that has long been abandoned by its owner.
Anna then went up to the second floor, when she saw that there was a caaha in one of her rooms.
There were two oil lamps on the table in front of the middle-aged man, and on top of the cupboard not far from the entrance.
"Good day, lord Sabil" Anna greeted still from the corridor outside the room.
The middle-aged man looked surprised to hear Anna's greeting. Then trying to squint his eyes stared at the dark-looking slit of the door.
"Who?" The old man asked.
"I think you're still doing well in the midst of the changes that are happening right now, Mr. Sabil" Anna came out of the shadows and stepped into the room.
"Oh, you're back, An?" Sabil's face looked between surprise and relief.
"What are you doing, Mr Sabil? It's past lunchtime, and your house still looks dark" Anna walks to one of the chairs in the room, and reassures herself. "Where are people?"
"They were in our house outside the city. Farther from the center of the crowd" Sabil replied as he placed his pen on the table.
"Then what are you doing alone in this place, Mr Sabil?" Anna asked again.
"Just help what I can do for this city" Sabil replied as he put his fingers together on the table. Looking towards Anna.
"Until when are you going to do something like this, Mr Sabil? Go back to your family place. Leave the city and this madness" Anna said. "Are you not tired?" Ask later.
"When possible I want to continue to be and work in this city" Sabil answered Anba's question.
"Although you will lose your noble status?"
"Two days ago I met Mateus. He came here with his brother-in-law Amithy" Sabil leaned his body back. Moving both of his shoulder bones.
"Oh, lady Amithy and lord Mateus. What do they need to do here?" Anna responded.
"They explained about the changes that you will make to the former territory of Urbar kingdom. And they need a lot of manpower to make it work" Sabil explained.
"And what do you think?"
"What's? What changes are you going to make?" Sabil asked who was only answered with a nod by Anna. "It was too grandiose and seemed unrealistic to do" he replied later.
"Then?" Anna asked because she knew Sabil's words were not finished.
"But I've decided not to just shut up this time. I'll take part in the effort to build this city. I don't want to be a coward anymore" Sabil replied. "Although I am also not sure whether the efforts I make will be successful or futile" he added.
Anna stared silently at the middle-aged man before her. He then seemed to rise from his seat. "Well then, fight for this city, lord Sabil. I won't interfere with your work anymore. So excuse me first" he said then as he walked to the exit.
"You yourself? Do you still have unfinished business, An?" Sabil followed Anna's body movements with a glance.
Anna held back her steps, then turned to look at Sabil. "Many, Mr. Sabil. A lot of things I haven't finished" he replied later.
"But revenge is not included" Anna added as she turned around and walked out. "Don't forget lunch, Mr. Sabil"
"Are you going to stay in town after everything's over?" Sabil asked again when Anna was out of sight.
"This city is not my city anymore, lord Sabil. I'm going home to my town after all this is over" Anna's voice rang out in the corridor outside Sabil's study.
