*** "Big brother Gale, what are we going to eat today?" asked a small, emaciated child with a hoarse voice, leaning against the already fragile wooden wall. The young man sitting beside him, counting a few small coins in his hand, turned to the child with a forced smile and said softly, "Keith, be patient, maybe we can only have half a piece of bread for tonight. Tomorrow, I promise to get you some delicious food." "Really?" Keith's eyes brightened slightly upon hearing those words, but then he lowered his head with dejection. "But Big brother said the same thing yesterday…" Hearing his words, Gale could only gently stroke Keith's head. "Forgive your Big brother for lying to you, Keith..." Gale whispered, bowing his head and trying to hold back his tears. "It's okay, Big brother…" Keith replied, trying to suppress his hunger and lying down on the stack of straw, enduring the discomfort. That response only pierced Gale's heart with great pain. 'How can such a young child be so m

*** The previous meeting held by Kazuki together with the members of the Political Division and his Ministers resulted in new laws and regulations. Firstly, the new policy to protect the rights of the nobles and their governance authority involved the separation of power between the nobles and their role in the government. In short, Kazuki allowed the nobles to retain their territories and authority, but they were not allowed to be directly involved in the government, leaving the Administrators, Government, and Grand Council to carry out their duties. Of course, the Empire still protected their assets and reputation, allowing them to oversee the governance from behind the scenes. The nobles were satisfied with this decision. As long as the government remained stable and they retained power over their lands, it was sufficient for them. Secondly, Kazuki established a government structure consisting of several institutions with different roles and functions. The first institution was

Trying to observe his surroundings using his massive-scale magical power for a few moments to ensure that no one is nearby, Hermit then said, "Luna had another glimpse of the future. But this time, the vision involves not only Luna and her surroundings, but also the future of the Arthia Empire and the Arthia Imperial Family. If you ignore it, the Nivaria Capital may be destroyed because of this..." Gasp! Hearing the statement, Nathan was quite surprised! However, he took a few moments to digest it before asking, "How can Luna's prediction be so far-reaching? Usually, such predictions are only limited to some insignificant information, right?" Taking some documents from the table next to him, Hermit handed them to Nathan while explaining, "I don't know. But after we returned from the square that day, my daughter suddenly received a vision of the future. Following Luna's wishes to inform the Imperial Family, surprisingly the Emperor listened to this information, and now we are plannin

*** Maybe some will forget, but for emphasis once again, this is the Imperial Capital of the Arthia Empire, now serving as the main center for government, education, social activities, politics, and economy in the empire, which currently faces troubled times. The city features European medieval-style architecture but possesses its own uniqueness beyond being just a simple town. As they roamed through the bustling streets of Nivaria, Kazuki led the way with composure and purpose. They explored the lively market, where sellers called out their goods and buyers bargained for the best deals. The main street itself was quite spacious, accommodating numerous horse-drawn carriages and both common folk and noble family members engaged in price negotiations. "Cheap goods, cheap clothes~!! Buy them before they run out!!" Turning towards the voice, Osama whispered quietly, "Are those clothes produced within the Empire?" Kazuki casually replied, "Perhaps." Despite the busy environment, Kaz

Gazing at Ryuto with a curious tilt of her head, Kurumi asked, "Just saying...? What did you want to say?" After pondering for a moment, Ryuto shook his head. "Nothing, I forgot what I wanted to say. By the way, can I have the paper you wrote?" A bit surprised by Ryuto's response, Kurumi quickly handed him the paper. "Here it is. So, what did you want to say again?" Shaking his head lightly, Ryuto allowed Kurumi to head to the Development Division for the meeting. Step... Step... Step... As he watched Kurumi walking away with a slightly unfocused gaze, he pondered over what she had said earlier. Glancing at Kaito, who was earnestly writing on his paper, Ryuto approached him and looked at what he was writing. "Are you writing notes for your novel again? What are you writing this time?" Ryuto asked while examining the small notes. "I'm writing down some of the discoveries we've made, and I'm putting everything we and Kazuki have done into a novel," mumbled Kaito, completely focu
