“Let’s start with removing the corrupt nobles inside your kingdom first,” Slime Oz said confidently.

“L-Let me apologize beforehand, your imperial majesty. But I don’t 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,” said Edrich.

“It’s fine. We’ll take advantage of the fact that you’ve become a part of the empire. You only need to give us the names of those corrupt nobles, and we’ll 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,” (Slime Oz)

“T-That will be great, your imperial majesty! Thank you!” Edrich once again thanked him as he kneeled.

“It’s fine. I’ll 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,” (Slime Oz)

“Once again, thank you for your generosity, your imperial majesty,” (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 it’ll also even become more prosperous and mightier than before with the Tarot empire’s help!) (Edrich)

(They’ll send us their knights and a military instructor? Is that mean that they’ll try to improve our soldiers until they’re as strong as their soldiers!?) (Lexus)

Edrich and Lexus start to imagine the future of the Potterland kingdom under the Tarot empire’s wings. They could already imagine how prosperous and safe their kingdom is under the support of the Tarot empire.

The fact that they’ve 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 kingdom’s 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.

“I, Edrich Potterland, hereby officially declare my absolute loyalty towards you, Emperor Ren Arken,” Edrich swore his allegiance towards Slime Oz as he kneeled.

Following Edrich, Lexus also kneeled and say, “I, Lexus Armight hereby swear my absolute loyalty towards the great emperor of the Tarot empire, Ren Arken. I’ll be your sword and your shield whenever you wanted,”

“Good. It seems like I’ve finally won your trust and favor. Rise, I accept your loyalty, I’ll be accepting great things from both of you. But I’ll need the both of you to train yourselves too, we need to increase your strength, so I’ve prepared a special instructor for the both of you,” (Slime Oz)

“A special instructor?” (Lexus)

*Door Opened*

A figure opened the imperial palace’s throne room’s door, revealing an old man holding a wooden sword.

“The imperial sword guardian of the great Tarot empire has arrived,” Announced the imperial guard.

“Y-You are… The mighty sword god, Kyron!!!” (Lexus)

*********************************

“Phew! The story is so fun! Where did you get these kinds of stories?” Asked Azaline with full curiosity.

“Hohohoho, I’m good at picking up good stories, after all,” Geeta proudly brag.

“Well, I can’t deny that. A pirate that best friends with a king, huh… That’s rather unique… Their adventure makes me want to take an adventure too,” said Azaline.

“True… It’s fun to look at our kingdoms and the empire, but going out and look for some thrill might be fun~” (Geeta)

*Knock* Knock*

The sound of knocks could be heard from the outside of the royal chamber.

“Your majesty, it’s time for the daily reports,” said one of Azaline’s maids.

“I’ll be right there in a moment. Geeta, would you like to help me? It’s too boring if I hear it alone,” Asked Azaline.

“Seriously… It’s about your own kingdom, you know…? But well, I’m too free, after all,” (Geeta)

“Said the one who let her prime minister do all of her work,” said Azaline sarcastically.

“Hey!! I’ve done my part quickly, okay? That’s why I could have this much free time!” (Geeta)

“Fufufufu! I’m just joking, let’s go,” (Azaline)

They walk towards the Elvenheim kingdom’s royal throne, as the queen of the elf kingdom, it’s obvious that Azaline sits at the throne while Geeta sits at an honor guest’s sit.

“Now that everyone had gathered, we’ll be starting the daily report of the kingdom,” said Reindell as he holds a lot of report papers in his hands.

“The first report is about the city’s walls’ 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 dragon’s 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,” (Reindell)

“That’s great! I really couldn’t stop get amazed by our researchers and technicians,” Azaline said in awe.

“Indeed, I’m shocked myself. They also installed magic cannons, magic catapults, and the magic giant crossbows at the royal capital’s walls. There is also a request to put some of them at the other cities walls, it will cost a little, but it won’t affect the kingdom’s funds that much, will you approve it?” asked Reindell.

“Yes, I approve it,” Azaline answered immediately.

“Okay, I’ll send them the message soon. Next, it’s about the royal aerial guards that scouts the Elvenheim skies and some part of the Tarot empire. It’s said that there are more encounter with flying demons than before, it’s an official request of the imperial guards’ captain to send some men to investigate the matter, your majesty,” (Reindell)

“Send 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,” (Azaline)

“Noted, next, it’s a letter from Duke Elv-” (Reindell)

“Next,” Azaline answered without hearing Reindell’s words into the end.

“Good,” said Reindell as he throws the letter and flicked his hands, and the letter suddenly got burnt into ashes.

“That duke… Is that the guy that has been trying to court you at that time?” Asked Geeta.

“Yeah… He’s been a great bother these days. It’s very annoying… Even though I’ve 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 doesn’t give up to the point that it’s annoying,” said Azaline as she sighs.

“I see… Aren’t you popular, queen Azaline~” Teases Geeta.

“Stop it. Aren’t you the same? I believe there are more men in your kingdom that try to court you,” (Azaline)

“Of course not, none of them brave enough to try,” said Geeta with a shrug.

“I-I see…” Azaline could only reply with a wry smile.

“The next report is from our researchers’ post at the world tree, Yggdrasil. They’ve 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 tree’s leaf, while the rest of the ingredients are from our usual elven potion,” (Reindell)

“That’s great! I would like to order some for my kingdom!” said Geeta.

“Of course, I’ll give a discount for you,” (Azaline)

“It’ll be a great source of income for us when we’re 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, it’ll help us improve our economy even more,” (Reindell)

“Indeed, we’re going to need to discuss it more with the others, I’ll keep that in mind, next,” (Azaline)

“The next is… T-This is!!!” Reindell suddenly shows a shocked expression as his hands trembled as he read the report.

“W-What is it, Reindell?” (Azaline)

“I-It said that the scouts have found your royal mother!!!” (Reindell)
