The story continues...
As the meeting went,we talked about a lot of things regarding the kingdom,and mostly about the security of the main road,and came up with a great solution.
"Knight commander Aris,I have a brilliant idea regarding the safety of our convoys and transportation,I will create the Guardian Corp,the guardians will protect the justice and law,where the kingdom gaurds can't reach and transportation,and also will be dealing with monsters and bandits,each town should have the Guardians and in each noble territory but to also keep an eye on the noble households."
No one will want to risk their lifes,but many folks here don't have the means to bring food to the table.
"Recruitment will be decided by you,and the wage is 10 Gold coins,we will gather young man only from age 17 to 20 and train them, send the royal decree immediately,they will be under the royalist name,and will be given roofs above their heads,for their families and themselves,no one will touch them,and train them for investigation and tracking, provide resources they will be the eyes of the kingdom and that abandoned estate, make it into their headquarters"
It has been two month since than,the new employment system and new Corp was founded,the fertiliser were made and given to the farmers,while I went to the lower destrict what I saw was,heart breaking children in the lower district lived on the street, some fighting for scraps,and somehow news of how I kneeled before a peasant spread like wildfire,and a month now from that day after spending time with Alena I had gotten to raise her affection,we recruited many of the commoners into the Guardian Corp from the lower district,i got great rewards in return from increasing the affection of Miss Terra
Ding"
System mission completion..
Title:Alena Terra
Mission: reach + 10 affection.
: affection gained+ 10
Rewards: one random draw.
: resources - gold mine found Westside from the forest.
: military armour and weapons gained.
With random draw,I managed to get 10 thousand gold,it seems the daughter of a merchant really gives lots of treasures.as time went by during the two months,we manage to gain access to the gold mine and recruited the commoners,we changed the lower district,new housing,new roads and the environment changed,it became lively.
We created many jobs for the commoners,the district looked more like the city in the capital,as night came the new bright light,lit up the capital and a beautiful sight could be seen from atop the palace,the one dark Street and gloomy atmosphere was no longer there,the crime and killings calmed down,those who did not have families,were taken to the palace to work as attedents and maids,some were trained under the staff of Butler Joseph Walter as my personal staff.
"Your highness,we managed to do all this in just two months,now what's left is the military now I see what you meant, accepting only those who have trained for the noble household,is just long process and it takes more expenses,a knight from noble family's wage is 100 gold coin".
"With that we will be able to save the treasury,and the resources we give,as time goes by things will change in this kingdom,for the better"
"Please excuse I haven't visited father in a while now"
"As you wish your highness"
I'm sure father will understand if I'm only visiting now,I have no idea of how or what I'll start by saying it's my first time meeting the king,I've only gotten to see him in the late Prince memories,but from what I know and saw,he is a great king and a great husband,and father.
William shut out his father from his life, because he kept blaming himself for not able to protect her mother and brother,from the dark forces that attacked them,he blamed himself for being the one to survive,while his father never gave up on him.
Knock,knock...
"May I come in?"
"Who is it?"
I heard a deep base voice.
"It is I the crown prince William Solari serlfbord"
Footsteps heading towards the door in a rush,it seems this person was shocked to hear that it was me behind the door.
"Your highness sorry for my manners"
He opened the door while talking,and I met him as he bowed.the person I saw was an old man wearing full body plate armour,and he had sharp eyes,of a veteran soldier he carried the weight of a knight.from my memories this man is Ser Roland Garros the king's Knight and right hand man.
The war lord,the one who has been with father for twenty five years before father even became king,the man who helped father Concour the battlefield.
His higher in status,than me because he is the knight of the king and the king's Knight,I have no right to Oder him for he only listens to the king.
"Greetings,Ser Roland Garros,it's been ages since we last saw each other I was but a kid back than"
"Greetings,your highness,I thought the gods were mocking me when I heard news of going out of your chambers and the deeds you have been doing,in the capital and kingdom in the last two months,the farmers sing your praises as well as the commoners"
"I was just doing my duties as the Prince of Solaris,I have been too laidback and it's time I find my own path and its about time I stop laying down and drowning in my pain and sorrow"
"I heard you and I'm glad you back,the kingdom really needs you..
"Rollo..who..is there or are already that old you talking to yourself"
Cough..a voice that flatters and weak.
"It is I father,I came"
"I know that voice..will?is that you?come here before so that I can see you properly..
"I'll wait by outside"
Roland went outside,and I was left with father and even though I tried my hardest I could stop my damn tears from falling,I felt as if my heart was struck by a sword,as I heard the king's voice and how hard he breathes,and the coughs..I felt helpless.
