Present Day Jola,
As the days passed, the once barren land of Jola began to transform into a bustling city. Construction workers labored tirelessly under Eugene's direction, their hammers ringing out like a chorus across the landscape.The first sign of progress was the towering structures that began to take shape across the city. Three-story buildings, each with their own unique design, began to rise up from the ground, like trees sprouting from the earth.With each passing day, more and more buildings began to dot the skyline, each one a testament to the hard work of the construction workers and their leader, Eugene.But it wasn't just the buildings that were taking shape in Jola. The greenhouse area, which would be used to grow crops for the city's residents, was nearing completion. Rows upon rows of vegetables and fruits could already be seen growing, ready to feed the hungry mouths of the city's inhabitants.And as the city grew, so too did its defensesBack on Earth, hot air balloons were made with materials like silk, nylon, and polyester for the balloon and wicker or bamboo for the basket. But here in Jola, we don't have access to those materials. We have to work with what we have, which is cotton for the cloth and steel for the basket.As for the fuel, I'm going to use tar. It's a sticky substance made from the distillation of wood or coal, and it's readily available here in Jola. It's not the most efficient fuel, but it will do the job.Making a hot air balloon is a complex process. First, we have to design the balloon itself. We'll need to figure out the size and shape of the balloon, as well as how much weight it can carry. Then we'll need to sew the cotton together to create the envelope of the balloon.Next comes the basket. We'll use steel rods to create a frame, and then weld them together to form the basket. It needs to be sturdy enough to hold up to 50 people, so we'll have to make sure it's well-c
All the slaves on these ships were freed from the slave camps around the Ancorna Empire and were being taken somewhere by the captain of these ships but no one knew where, no one knew why this man is helping them, some had there doubts but everyone was really relived that they didn't had to work for some owner who would whip them.Few days ago, the pirates had brought the slaves to these ships. They tried to attack another ship that was sailing nearby, but a skilled swordswoman defeated them all. Despite her victory, she couldn't take in the slaves, and so they continued to drift aimlessly. It was during this time that they encountered the captain of these ships - a man named Freeman - who was determined to help the slaves and set them free from their shackles.As they sailed further away from their former lives, the newly freed slaves couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. They had no idea where they were headed or what awaited them on the other side. Despite their dou
Ben rubbed his eyes and yawned as he stretched his arms, feeling the warmth of the sun on his skin. He got out of bed and walked over to the window, gazing out at the bustling city below. The once barren desert was now a thriving metropolis of concrete buildings and bustling streets. Steam smoke rose into the air from the factories and trains that crisscrossed the city.As he looked out, Ben felt a sense of pride wash over him. He was the transporting council head, and it was his responsibility to ensure the smooth flow of goods throughout the city. He had worked tirelessly to introduce steam-powered trains to the city, and it had paid off in spades. The trains had made transporting goods faster and more efficient, which in turn had helped to speed up construction and development.Ben smiled to himself as he went about his morning routine, preparing for another busy day.Ben couldn't help feeling a twinge of disappointment as he sipped his coffee. His Majesty's recent decision to proh
Eugene took a seat at the head of the long table in the meeting hall. The room was silent as the council heads looked at him with a mix of respect and apprehension. It was clear that they were eager to hear what their king had to say."Good morning, everyone," Eugene said, breaking the silence. "I hope you all had a pleasant night."The council heads murmured their responses, and Eugene noticed that three of them - Ben, Ruby, and Sam - were looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and reverence. He could tell that they were seeing their king for the first time, and he smiled warmly at them."Allow me to introduce myself," Ben said, standing up from his seat. "My name is Ben, and I am the head of the Council of Transportation. Your Majesty, I want to thank you for freeing me and my people from slavery. We are honored to serve you now."Eugene nodded graciously, and then Ruby stood up to introduce herself."I am Ruby," she said, her voice soft but steady. "I
Eugene turned to Sam, the head of the Council of Finance, and smiled. "Sam, I want to thank you for everything you've done for our kingdom. Your management of our finances has been exceptional, and I'm glad to see that printed paper money has made things easier for everyone."Sam beamed at him. "Thank you, Your Majesty. We are always looking for ways to improve our financial system and make it more efficient."Eugene nodded. "I also wanted to ask you about the finances for my upcoming wedding. Is everything in order?"Sam nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. We have made all the necessary arrangements, and everything is under control. You don't need to worry about a thing."Eugene breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great to hear, Sam. I appreciate all your hard work."Sam smiled. "It's my pleasure, Your Majesty. We will continue to do everything we can to support you and your kingdom."Eugene looked around at the members of the council and cleared his throat. "I
The day of the wedding had finally arrived, and the excitement in the air was palpable. The entire city was decorated with beautiful flowers and banners, and the streets were filled with people eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of the King and his bride.As the procession began, everyone lined the streets to cheer and celebrate the union of their beloved King and his new queen. The couple rode in a stunning carriage that was adorned with flowers and ribbons, followed by a long line of council heads, military dignitaries, and ordinary citizens. It was a beautiful sight to behold, and it was clear that this was a day that would be remembered for years to come.The wedding ceremony itself was a small affair, especially compared to the grandiose ceremonies held by other kingdoms and empires. Since Jola had not established an official religion, the vows were exchanged in a simple manner, with Eugene and Aria sharing their promises of love and devotion before their people. Afte
Hughes reached over and took her hand, bringing it to his lips. "And you, my dear Alice, make my heart sing. I am so grateful to have you by my side, now and always."Alice leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder, and they sat there in contented silence, enjoying the beauty of the moment and the love that surrounded them.-----------------------------------------------------------------------The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and with the wedding festivities behind them, Eugene decided to take a well-deserved break from his duties as king. He wanted to explore his kingdom and spend some quality time with his wife, Aria.As they walked through the streets, they were greeted with warm smiles and waves from the citizens of Jola. The sun was shining, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of freshly baked bread.Aria giggled as she skipped ahead of Eugene, teasing him to keep up. He playfully chased after her, enjoying t
Alice walked through the halls of the newly constructed hospital, marveling at the modern design and equipment. this was the first hospital in the kingdom, and it showed. Everything was clean, organized, and efficient. She couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her King for creating such a place.As she made her way to the doctor's office, Alice couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness. She had always been healthy, but now that she was pregnant, she wanted to make sure everything was alright.When she entered the doctor's office, she was greeted by a woman in a white coat. "Hello, I'm Mira. How can I help you?" the doctor asked."I'm Alice, the head maid of the castle," Alice replied. "I just wanted to get a check-up. I'm pregnant, you see."Mira nodded and motioned for Alice to take a seat on the examination table. She pulled out some strange-looking steel tools and began to check Alice's blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs.As Mira w
