2024-10-29 19:42:56Richard, Jessica , Nille and Sarah walked into the lord's castle following the Knight who was leading them to the audience room. They could see that there were many Knights positioned in the Castle then normal but they didn't understand why? Is the Prince threatened by them? But he has Trained Knights so why? However they pushed these thoughts to the back of their mind and focused on what they would do if the prince asked something unreasonable.
When they arrived in the audience room they were about to kneel when they noticed that the lord's chair was empty and a handsome young man with black hair was standing in front of the chair looking at Parchment in his hand. Everyone knows that Ewan Family members have red hair so seeing someone with black hair like a regular person so they were confused.
"Ah you have arrived.. sorry i didn't notice you there I was just looking at his highness orders"
His highness's orders everyone understood that he was not the lord but who is this man?
"oh apologies where are my manners I am Hughes Gatve His highness's Knight Commander"
Said the man, Oh he is a Knight Commander as soon as they heard this everyone introduced themself and knelt.
"Oh Please Stand up"
need said while extending a hand towards Richard , seeing this action all of them were a little taken back but they remained cautions.
"So I take it you all are the ones who have been helping the citizens while we took our sweet time to get here."
"Ser that's .." Richard didn't know what to say. This noble was insulting himself so what can he say?
"Don't Worry folks we are not like those monsters we are here to help , anyway there is a reason why we were late and i will tell you all now why His highness summoned you all and why he is not here right now."
Everyone perked up their ears once they said were here to help?
"We traveled to different towns and brought food that can stay unspoiled for longer than we had to buy cartridges that can transport the amount of food we brought ha… It was a lot of work."
When everyone heard this they suddenly got hope but soon it died even if these nobles brought this food. If they didn't give it to them then it was useless getting their hopes high.
"So now the problem is we don't know where everyone lives and how many live here so you see we need a list of everyone that lives here miss Sarah"
Sarah was shocked ! how did they know she has a list of all the people who live here. Sarah bob was a noble lady but when small pimples started to form on here face she was kicked out of here house and banished to this place, ever since they old nobles left she has been writing down everyone's names and number of family members they had on a wooden board so they can distribute the fishes caught by Richard accordingly to everyone.
"Ser I do have a list that states everyone's names and number of family members"
"I know that's why you are here we talked to some of the people here about how fishes were distributed when caught and they told us you have a list.So here what we are going to we will take the list and distribute cooked food in the abandoned nobles estates for everyone 3 times a day"
Everyone blinked their eyes, were they dreaming because no noble would do something like this.
"We don't want to distribute unfairly so we will divide the people into groups and send them to a particular estate in this way everyone can get there fill and there won't be any cheating"
"this this … Ser we I I.. will get the list thank you ser thank-"
"You shouldn't Thank me it's his highness that order this and also it's our responsibility"
Sarah's eyes were tearing up as she was thinking about how happy those hungry kids will be.
"Now Sarah you are also here so that you can help me with writing down and tallying the food you see we are really out maned here we can't have the knights do paperwork and guard his highness"
"Yes of course ser"
Everyone chatched the hint here his highness ordered this but is needed to be guard it means either he is sick or got an injury.
"And miss Jessica we brought so cotton from willow town on the way we would like you and a few more volunteers to make clothes for the people so that they won't get cold at night"
"Yes of course Ser" Jessica was happy to help. They are not even asking for money but are actually going to give free food and make new clothes for everyone. This is just awesome. one has to know this is a desert island where nights are very cold and days very hot.
"His Highness asked me to give this to you Mister Nille"
Nille took the parchment and looked at the designs on it and was shocked he couldn't believe this kind of designs are even possible up until now but everything was written on parchment about what and how they are supposed to make these things.
Nille shakingly said "Ser till when does his highness requested these to be made?"
"I believe he said 3 months Mister Nille before the food runs out so that we can use to them to sustain ourselves"
"I see I will do my Best Ser Hughes I will make sure these are made so that no Jola citizen will ever go hungry again!"
Nille's claims surprised everyone, something that will make them sustain themselves. What is it?
"And Mister Richard We want you to Stop Fishing everyday and help out with food distribution and farming"
"Yes Ser, wait did you just say Farming ?" Everyone was as shocked as Richard and why stop fishing ?
"You see Mister Richard we are stopping fishing but we still need you to go to the ocean and collect Sea Bed soil"
"What do you mean Ser"
"his highness believes that the soil deep down in the Ocean is fertile so if can just dig it up on to the land and farm potatoes we can start normal farming in Jola"
What! Why didn't they think about it, it's true they have seen green plants in the ocean so if they can just bring it back and start growing plants in it then everything will be alright his highness is a genius this was the opinion everyone had right now.
"You see, Mr. Richard , one of the designs that I gave mister Nille is something that will help you get the mud from the sea easily."
"Yeah there are 3 designs that I need to do before 3 months but the priority is the Mud collector cage so it will be done in a week so don't worry Richard we will get the mud in no time!" said Nille.
"Alright everyone this is what His Highness wanted to tell you about but he couldn't visit you because he fell ill on the way here so he is resting in his room right now. He asked me to apologize for not meeting you face to face"
"No! no no it's alright ser Hughes it's totally understandable we wish his Highness gets well soon"
"Yeah We need to start working on all these before his highness makes his public appearance so that he won't see his subjects hungry!"
"yes you are right Jessica We need to start these projects now!"
they all started getting excited and sad too because come on which lord apologizes to peasants, the rumors must all be bullshit , he must have been schemed against to be banished. These were their thoughts.
"Guys Please wait there is another thing"
Everyone stopped and looked at Hughes
"Did Anyone new come to the City before us? we know you all are trustworthy because you lived in Jola all your life that's why I am telling you this we might have spies on the island who are after his highness's life so please tell us"
Everyone was shocked and angry now who is trying to kill such a kind person. No noble ever tried to feed peasants by spending their own money. Not to say even he was banished means he doesn't have any source of income from the empire but he still spends it on the low lifes. This Prince was kind hearted that's why he is being targeted and this angered them.
"Ser There Names are in the list. I recorded everyone's names in the list, even the new citizens too."
"Thanks Sarah but don't act rash we must know what they are up to just give us the names we will tail them in secret"
"Ok Ser"
"ok remember we want you to spread the news that his highness is sick so people don't think that he is tyrant controlling things from his castle"
"Of course Ser"
With that the Stage was set.
`Inside the lords bedroom`
"So these Spies are from Landon and they will leave in 3 days?"
(Yeah That's what it says in the database)
"Ha so I just need play sick for 3 days that's good it's shorter than I thought"
"What's up with this Landon guy he already poisoned me and is the Crown Prince there is no way I will take the throne from him yet here he is still trying to finish me of"
(Landon is dealing with both your brothers James and Elen so he wanted to clear you out faster so that no one can snach the throne away from him.)
"I understand that but why try so hard to keep a illegement child away ha.. it's too much overkill"
(it's because Eugene was a good at reading books so all your brothers feared that your father will select you as his heir because you were like sage)
"But they are idiots even I know that father of mine like people who are good at war not brain"
(that's right)
"Anyway you said that you are expecting an attack in 6 months, what was that about?"
(you have to gather mininume information before you can search for it in the database love)
"Just like how I needed the spies' names to understand who sent them and how many they are right?"
(Right Darling, According to Protocol I can't Search something that you don't know)
"Like I can't find out how to make a gun if i don't know what a gun is right"
(ding ding ding Darling is so smart~~ ha~~ I want a Hug~~ )
"ha I will give you one when you get here alright"
(~~AH~~)
"hey can you stop moaning it's it's too hot"

He then waved his hand and two of the women stepped forward.The men watched in anticipation as the priest began to strip away the women's clothing. When they were done, the women stood before the men wearing nothing but sheer silk. The priest then began to explain that the women were to be used as motivation for the men. It was implied and explicitly stated, that they would be used sexually to reward the men for their hard work. The women seemed unperturbed by the instructions, merely standing there with a stoic expression. The men, however, seemed to relish the prospect, already making plans to take turns with the women in the night. With that, the prie

"There is something you should know," she said in a hushed voice. "My lady's sword was stolen about a year ago. She has been very upset about it ever since."Anna's heart raced as she heard this. It was possible that the stolen sword was the one used in James's murder.
