The Young King's Great Ambition
Chapter 17: The Beginning of the Conversation

After their stomachs were filled, they returned to their respective rooms, but Fermund was going to the Valdis clan.

They would talk to each other with conflict, and Fermund had no idea what the Valdis clan was willing to open its doors, so that Fermund could enter.

At the moment Fermund had too many thoughts, he had carried out a number of devious plans and assassinations.

Fermund took off his robe, he was now lying down, and before his sleepiness came, he asked himself if he belonged to a bad person, or vice versa.

Fermund immediately closed his eyes, he would become more and more dizzy if he thought about it, he would go to bed early to finish all his affairs.

Fermund fell asleep quickly, he'll do a great job tomorrow.

Long nights come and also go, ministers have emerged from the east.

Fermund woke up to a beam of light coming into the room, and when he opened the window, he seemed to wake up a little late.

Taking off his clothes and changing, and wearing perfume on some parts of his body, Hermund was now ready to head to the king's office, though he had not yet been formally crowned.

As he headed for the king's office, he occasionally passed by the palace servants, they lowered their heads and smiled, even though they were very frightened when they saw Fermund's original figure of cunning.

But now that they were happy and calm because of Fermund's good treatment, the guard soldiers also respected Fermund.

Fermund seemed to be getting healthier as he had to walk away while going somewhere in the palace, and also the palace was quite large.

He was now in front of the king's office, when he opened the door, and there were several accountants and assistant servants to help the king carry out his duties.

"Everyone good morning, I call you to help me change this kingdom for the better"

All the servants of the king nodded their nods, they used Formal language with a little fear in their hearts.

"Explain to me, what do you think is the biggest problem in this kingdom"

They thought Fermund knew it, but one of them raised his hand and answered Fermund's question.

"Our biggest problem is the crisis of resource shortages"

Fermund nodded his head and said something "right, our resources are reduced by war, now this kingdom only relies on mines that are widespread in the kingdom."

Fermund asked all of them to turn in all of his unfinished pawn job, he checked all the reports and some notes.

Fermund took over the work of his mother in his own way, he changed most of the work process, and replaced it in a more efficient way.

"Short thinking, and old fashioned way, you will only destroy the kingdom in this way"

Fermund grumbled at the performance of his pama, he took a lot of time to do it all.

He handed over his work to accountants and auxiliary officers, Hermund immediately departed.

Fermund exited the palace to the horse-drawn carriage waiting for him in the palace garden, he entered the horse-drawn carriage and went to the Valdis clan whose home was southeast of the capital.

Fermund just rode an ordinary horse carriage dyed brown without the addition of certain ornaments, Hermund wanted to move silently without having to be striking in the eyes of his people.

After passing through the crowds on the capital's street, he had reached a small plaza, in front of him Fermund saw a brick wall that encircled and surrounded a settlement whose buildings were all painted white and silver.

They had arrived at the headquarters of the Valdis clan, they were approaching the gate of the residence, and the gate was clearly emblazoned with the emblem of their clan, the silver dragon.

Femund got off his chariot and stretched his torso, he and three butler assassins went to the front of the gate.

The gatekeeper was surprised if Fermund really came, one of the four guards went into the residence, he must have been assigned to tell Vasileus.

Soon there was a burly man carrying a large axe, he came along with the horde of clan troops, they were wearing silver light armor and carrying spears.

"Fermund, you really came here without an escort, are you looking to die!" Said the man

"Let me guess, you are Vasileon the third of four children"

The big man smiled arrogantly and started to boast, he stuck the top of his axe to the ground.

"So you know me, then you know my strength too, if you still want to live, go"

"Well, I'm not going to change my purpose, even if there are sons and daughters of Vasil"

Vasileon, the big man got on his apse, he immediately raised his axe back, and carried it on his shoulder.

"If you want to mention my father's name, you should just say his full name, or mention his title, calling my father by that nickname pisses me off"

Vasileus mounted a horse, his leg was already in the optimal position to swing the large axe towards Fermund, but Vasileus came and stopped his younger brother.

"Stop brother, our reputation has fallen and we're hated, if you do that, they'll hate us even more"

Vasileon obeyed his brother, and he went with his people, and Fermund was greeted with the flat face of Vasileus, and he felt a sign of danger in the various places he passed.

Vasileus took Fermund to a luxurious Gazebo in the middle of the garden, where there were chairs, tables and various snacks, Vasileus told Fermund to sit down and start his useless nonsense.

"Now tell me what you want, I won't hear your bullshit"

"Are you sure, then I'll ask you a lot, are you willing to answer"

Vasileus nodded his head in response to Fermund's question.
