“…..” (Oz)
“…..” (The three siblings)
(It’s Bloody Awkward!!!) (Oz)
When the wagon came, the uncle cheerfully invited the three siblings in even though he fully knew about their identity. Just saying: “There are no benefits for any mercenaries to attack a poor wagon coachman, right?”
(That coachman uncle… I won’t even be surprised if he’s a sword god) (Oz)
(It’s impossible, master. We’ve checked him, and he’s only at the rank of master swordsman) (Reo)
(You’ve checked?) (Oz)
(Yes, we thought that his relaxed character came from his confidence about his power, but it seems that it’s not the case) (Fenrir)
(Well, there is no need to pry deeper, he’s that strange old geezer acquaintance after all) (Oz)
“By the way, can anyone of you tell me why Sen’s name is so infamous at the town?” Oz asked the three siblings to broke the silence.
“Hm? He killed the feudal lord of the mercenary town,” Edreale answered indifferently.
“K-kill? And no one punished him for it?” Asked Oz with a wry smile.
“With the current state of the kingdom, it’s nothing to be surprised for,” Said Alfred.
“The feudal lord has his own enemies at the capital, so basically, a lot of people got benefit from his death, so we didn’t get any punishment from it,” Explained Edreale.
“Is that so…” (Oz)
They had traveled for about two hours, and the afternoon almost come. It’s time for Oz to went for the executives’ meeting at Tarot. Oz closes his eyes, and he sent his consciousness to the goblin [king] clone.
Oz opens his eyes and saw that all of the executives had already sitting on their respective chairs, waiting for Oz to come.
(We’re lucky we had Aegir’s huge house, it’s very comfortable meeting at this house) (Oz)
All of the executives notice Oz’s presence, and all of them stand, saying: “Welcome back your majesty!”
“Let’s put aside the formality later. I’m afraid I didn’t have much time to waste,” Said Oz with a smile.
Oz scanned the members.
“I see that all of the executives had gathered here. Good job,” (Oz)
Oz turns his head to both Geeta and Azaline.
“Doesn’t both of you still tired? You don’t need to force yourselves,” Said Oz with a gentle voice.
“We’re fine, your majesty. We’ve already taken some rest earlier, it’s fine for you to start the meeting,” Said Azaline. When it’s in a formal meeting like this, no one dares to call Oz’s name casually, all of them address him as your majesty.
“Let’s start from hearing all of your reports first then, let’s start from you, Aegir,” Said Oz as he asked Aegir to start first.
Aegir stands and nods before he started to tell his report.
“There are some reports that I need to convey to you, your majesty. I’ll start from the most urgent one, we’ve been neglecting them since they haven’t made any moves since we grow to a kingdom, but now, some moves from them had been reported,” (Aegir)
“Who are ‘Them’?” Asked Oz.
“They are the kings that had been living at the Everdeen magical forest for a long time, there are four kings existed in this region, the king of west, east, south, and north. At the far south, the desert region had only one king, and its king, the king of the barren, hadn’t made any move yet,” (Aegir)
“This is the first time I’ve heard about this,” (Oz)
“Yes, since they don’t actually have a kingdom, it’s just a name that the forest habitant gave them because of their strength,” (Aegir)
“As the far north is the humans’ region, there are other three regions, the far west is the eternal winter region, the far east is the beastman region and the far south is the desert region, and this place is called as the grassland region,” (Aegir)
“Somehow, the only one who had four kings is this region and yesterday, they had shown some hostility to our kingdom, the hunter corps got attacked by them, luckily Brad presence there, and he managed to save his members,” (Aegir)
“Hm? Interesting… Can you tell me, what race are they?” Asked Oz with an amused face.
“The king of the west is a minotaur, the king of the east is a bull-headed beastmen, the king of the north is an Ogre, and the king of the south had got killed by the demons,” (Aegir)
“By the demons?” (Oz)
“Yes,” (Aegir)
“Okay, is that all, Aegir?” (Oz)
“No, there is one more additional problem inside of the kingdom, there are spotted some people that had started to become lazy to work, I’m afraid that if this continues, it’ll ruin the people’s spirit, they look like they don’t have any purpose on life,” (Aegir)
“Hm… okay, next report, you Brad,” Said Oz.
Brad stands and nods before he starts to report.
“Your majesty, we’ve found some traces of the demons,” (Brad)
Brad’s report makes the executives started to get rowdy, seeing the situation, Oz raised one of his hands indicating to be silence.
“When do you find it?” Asked Oz.
“This morning, my corps is hunting at the south, we traveled quite far to check if there are any traces of troubles, but unexpectedly, we found a footstep that had a trace of demonic mana there,” Said Brad with a firm expression.
Oz nods and closes his eyes for a while, but a grin suddenly formed at his mouth and his sly eyes that always appeared every time he’s thinking something sly appeared.
“Good job noticing it, Brad. Next,” Said Oz.
“In my case. There is nothing worth to report, your majesty,” said Magra.
Oz turns his gaze to the next person.
“I’ve found some weak points at our defense, your majesty. With our territory keeps on growing, I’m afraid that we’re having some difficulties in strengthening the defenses,” Said Brad the defense corps leader.
“Ah! I’ve almost forgotten that point, Ibra. Thanks for reminding me,” Said Oz as he gazes at the nest person. Both Talak the Lizardfolk leader and Razor the kobold leader said that there is nothing worth to report. And Firenze the leader of the centaurs stands.
“I have something to report to you, your majesty. Some of my brothers got captured by the humans when they’re patrolling. I’m asking for permission to start a saving mission to save them,” said Firenze.
“I’ve heard the detail from Geeta and Azaline, I’ll solve that problem personally, Firenze. We can’t let the humans know our presence yet, It’s not that I’m afraid of them, but our kingdom is still immature, we need to strengthen ourselves first,” Explained Oz.
“If that is your decision…” Said Firenze as he sits back.
“Your majesty,” The rarely talked Gurolf the magician suddenly showed his voice.
“What is it, Gurolf?” Asked Oz.
“I sensed a lot of malicious mana presence at this forest these days, but it will immediately disappear if I tried to track it, could you permit me to investigate it?” Asked Gurolf.
“A malicious mana? Fine, I permit you, but immediately retreat if you think that you couldn’t handle the opponent,” Said Oz.
“Thydal, had the thing I requested finished?” Asked Oz to Thydal the dwarf.
“Yes, your majesty. It had already done, I’ve brought the samples,” Said Thydal as he put a gold, silver, and copper coin at the table.
“W-what’s that, your majesty?” Asked Gareth.
“After I heard Aegir’s report, I’m sure that this is the right time to introduce an economy system to the people, with this, we could avoid them being lazy, and this could raise their spirits to work,” Said Oz as he raised the coins.
A joker image is beautifully imprinted at the gold coin’s sides, the flag of the Tarot kingdom is imprinted at the silver coin’s sides, while there is only a spade image imprinted at the copper coin.
“How many coins that we had right now? And how many that still could be processed at the mine?” Asked Oz.
“We currently have about 200,000 of each coin, while it not even deplete 3% of each mine, the goblins had a skilled hand, they boost the speed of multiplying the coins greatly. Your majesty. We could be the richest kingdom that exists!” Said Thydal enthusiastically.
“Marvelous! Then, it could be fine if we distribute them, then, since today, I appoint Geeta as the royal treasurer!” (Oz)
“Distribute them to the people according to how long they had been at the kingdom, the one who had been together with us since we started to become a kingdom will be given 3 coins of gold, people who had joined us early will be given 2 coins of gold, while people who had just joined us will only be given 1 gold coin,” (Oz)
“You… Giving me such troublesome tasks…” Geeta muttered silently.
“You say something?” (Oz)
“No! It’s my pleasure to be the treasurer, your majesty,” (Geeta)
(You definitely heard that master. You’re so mean!) (Fenrir)
“I’ll sort out some jobs that the people could work at to you later, Aegir. As the prime minister, this will be your job,” (Oz)
“Roger that,” (Aegir)
“Next, about the three kings, we won’t stay idle if they started to make problems for us. If they made another move that harms us, Magra, I appoint you to subjugate the king of the west. Razor, I appoint you to subjugate the king of the east. While Geeta and Azaline will be the one who subjugates the king of the north,” (Oz)
“””Yes, Your majesty!””” Answered four of them.
“Just like what Ibra’s said, as we’re expanding our territory, our defenses will also get more vulnerable as we stretch our army, because of that, because of that, starting tomorrow, I’ll make some martial art techniques personally for each race, and even the normal citizens need to learn the basics,” Said Oz.
“And from now on, I’ll disband all of the corps, it’ll now be changed into an official army legion and a knight order. Fedra, you’ll be the supreme general of the royal legion, ‘Joker Legion’. While Ibra, you’ll be the royal grand knight commander of the royal knight’s order, ‘The Order of Miracle’ there will be four branches of the royal knight’s order, the spade, the club, the love, and the diamond,” (Oz)
“I order all of the races that will make your own kingdom in the future, to make your own army legions and knight orders, this will give some opportunity for people to work hard,” Said Oz.
“While you, Brad. Your corps’s new name is ‘Jack of all trades’ secret order. Your corps will not only gather information about our kingdom’s surroundings, but I’ll start to give you missions to gather information from all around the world, I’ll give the special training course of your corps later,” Said Oz.
“Aegir, since you’re the prime minister, you’ll need to control and observe all of the processes, could you handle it?” Asked Oz with a wry smile.
Aegir sighs and snorted.
“Hmph, you always asked a lot anyways, don’t underestimate me, this much is not a problem,” Said Aegir.
Oz grins, seeing Aegir’s usual frank attitude.
“It’s good then, I’m counting on you bro, I’ll be back in the evening to show you the techniques and give some directions, see you guys later,” Said Oz as he sent his consciousness back to his real body.
But when he opened his eyes, something’s wrong, the coachman uncle is shaking Oz with a serious face, while there are no signs of Alfred, Edreale, and Sen.
“Hey! Ren! Wake up! We’re under attack!!!” (Coachman Uncle)
