âLetâs start with removing the corrupt nobles inside your kingdom first,â Slime Oz said confidently.
âL-Let me apologize beforehand, your imperial majesty. But I donât hold that much authority enough to be able to remove the corrupt nobles since most of the corrupt nobles have big authorities and are helping each other,â said Edrich.
âItâs fine. Weâll take advantage of the fact that youâve become a part of the empire. You only need to give us the names of those corrupt nobles, and weâll give you the imperial orders written in the form of a letter. Any resistance they make will be handled by my men that I will send there,â (Slime Oz)
âT-That will be great, your imperial majesty! Thank you!â Edrich once again thanked him as he kneeled.
âItâs fine. Iâll also send a military instructor to help improve your military prowess and station some of my imperial knights inside your capital. They will help you make your own elite royal knight orders,â (Slime Oz)
âOnce again, thank you for your generosity, your imperial majesty,â (Edrich)
(Accepting the offer to become a part of the Tarot empire is sure a right choice! Not only that the kingdom will be able to regain its balance sooner, but itâll also even become more prosperous and mightier than before with the Tarot empireâs help!) (Edrich)
(Theyâll send us their knights and a military instructor? Is that mean that theyâll try to improve our soldiers until theyâre as strong as their soldiers!?) (Lexus)
Edrich and Lexus start to imagine the future of the Potterland kingdom under the Tarot empireâs wings. They could already imagine how prosperous and safe their kingdom is under the support of the Tarot empire.
The fact that theyâve been worrying about the fate of the Potterland kingdom under the government of the Tarot empire made their stomach aches felt kind of funny. But their worry is not something new or even something strange.
Usually, when an empire or a kingdom successfully wins a war and conquers the opposing kingdom, and absorbs them into their territory, the upcoming fate of the defeated kingdom would be only poverty and misery.
Crazily high taxes, crazy demands of resources, torture and persecution towards the citizens, the limitation of the military, and much more things usually make the defeated kingdom fall to demise until even the citizens of the defeated kingdom fall to depression and decide to end their lives.
Edrich and Lexus had been worrying about those things since their kingdomâs fate will be decided by the Tarot empire. At first, they thought their kingdom will end up like other kingdoms that got defeated in war and end up being lost in history, but it seems like they will rise on it instead.
âI, Edrich Potterland, hereby officially declare my absolute loyalty towards you, Emperor Ren Arken,â Edrich swore his allegiance towards Slime Oz as he kneeled.
Following Edrich, Lexus also kneeled and say, âI, Lexus Armight hereby swear my absolute loyalty towards the great emperor of the Tarot empire, Ren Arken. Iâll be your sword and your shield whenever you wanted,â
âGood. It seems like Iâve finally won your trust and favor. Rise, I accept your loyalty, Iâll be accepting great things from both of you. But Iâll need the both of you to train yourselves too, we need to increase your strength, so Iâve prepared a special instructor for the both of you,â (Slime Oz)
âA special instructor?â (Lexus)
*Door Opened*
A figure opened the imperial palaceâs throne roomâs door, revealing an old man holding a wooden sword.
âThe imperial sword guardian of the great Tarot empire has arrived,â Announced the imperial guard.
âY-You are⦠The mighty sword god, Kyron!!!â (Lexus)
*********************************
âPhew! The story is so fun! Where did you get these kinds of stories?â Asked Azaline with full curiosity.
âHohohoho, Iâm good at picking up good stories, after all,â Geeta proudly brag.
âWell, I canât deny that. A pirate that best friends with a king, huh⦠Thatâs rather unique⦠Their adventure makes me want to take an adventure too,â said Azaline.
âTrue⦠Itâs fun to look at our kingdoms and the empire, but going out and look for some thrill might be fun~â (Geeta)
*Knock* Knock*
The sound of knocks could be heard from the outside of the royal chamber.
âYour majesty, itâs time for the daily reports,â said one of Azalineâs maids.
âIâll be right there in a moment. Geeta, would you like to help me? Itâs too boring if I hear it alone,â Asked Azaline.
âSeriously⦠Itâs about your own kingdom, you knowâ¦? But well, Iâm too free, after all,â (Geeta)
âSaid the one who let her prime minister do all of her work,â said Azaline sarcastically.
âHey!! Iâve done my part quickly, okay? Thatâs why I could have this much free time!â (Geeta)
âFufufufu! Iâm just joking, letâs go,â (Azaline)
They walk towards the Elvenheim kingdomâs royal throne, as the queen of the elf kingdom, itâs obvious that Azaline sits at the throne while Geeta sits at an honor guestâs sit.
âNow that everyone had gathered, weâll be starting the daily report of the kingdom,â said Reindell as he holds a lot of report papers in his hands.
âThe first report is about the cityâs wallsâ barriers. The report stated that it had successfully been installed on every wall. The barriers are made to be as strong as the walls, so they would be able to withstand dozens of dragonâs charge or breath. With the help of the world tree, the wall also get the trait of self-recovery, so as long the damage inflicted towards the wall is less or the same as the recovery rate, the wall will never break,â (Reindell)
âThatâs great! I really couldnât stop get amazed by our researchers and technicians,â Azaline said in awe.
âIndeed, Iâm shocked myself. They also installed magic cannons, magic catapults, and the magic giant crossbows at the royal capitalâs walls. There is also a request to put some of them at the other cities walls, it will cost a little, but it wonât affect the kingdomâs funds that much, will you approve it?â asked Reindell.
âYes, I approve it,â Azaline answered immediately.
âOkay, Iâll send them the message soon. Next, itâs about the royal aerial guards that scouts the Elvenheim skies and some part of the Tarot empire. Itâs said that there are more encounter with flying demons than before, itâs an official request of the imperial guardsâ captain to send some men to investigate the matter, your majesty,â (Reindell)
âSend them, and tell them this might be a good opportunity to team up the imperial soldiers, knights, and guards to join into one party to train their teamwork and coordination in case of great emergencies,â (Azaline)
âNoted, next, itâs a letter from Duke Elv-â (Reindell)
âNext,â Azaline answered without hearing Reindellâs words into the end.
âGood,â said Reindell as he throws the letter and flicked his hands, and the letter suddenly got burnt into ashes.
âThat duke⦠Is that the guy that has been trying to court you at that time?â Asked Geeta.
âYeah⦠Heâs been a great bother these days. Itâs very annoying⦠Even though Iâve straightforwardly said that I have no interest in him⦠I even said that there is already someone in my heart but it seems that he still doesnât give up to the point that itâs annoying,â said Azaline as she sighs.
âI see⦠Arenât you popular, queen Azaline~â Teases Geeta.
âStop it. Arenât you the same? I believe there are more men in your kingdom that try to court you,â (Azaline)
âOf course not, none of them brave enough to try,â said Geeta with a shrug.
âI-I seeâ¦â Azaline could only reply with a wry smile.
âThe next report is from our researchersâ post at the world tree, Yggdrasil. Theyâve successfully made a better magic potion that could replenish both mana and heals any kind of sickness, negative statuses, and it could even heal a torn limbs. The precious resources it needs is only the water that squeezed from the world treeâs leaf, while the rest of the ingredients are from our usual elven potion,â (Reindell)
âThatâs great! I would like to order some for my kingdom!â said Geeta.
âOf course, Iâll give a discount for you,â (Azaline)
âItâll be a great source of income for us when weâre allowed to make ties with other kingdoms outside the magical forest, your majesty. It will be better if we could make more special products that only exist inside our kingdom, itâll help us improve our economy even more,â (Reindell)
âIndeed, weâre going to need to discuss it more with the others, Iâll keep that in mind, next,â (Azaline)
âThe next is⦠T-This is!!!â Reindell suddenly shows a shocked expression as his hands trembled as he read the report.
âW-What is it, Reindell?â (Azaline)
âI-It said that the scouts have found your royal mother!!!â (Reindell)
