Translated by Tianic, edited by Grammarly
The next day of the mobilization saw all provincial functionaries and officials of adjacent towns’ arrival at Dark City Several days after,friendly alien chiefs were here as well They have filled every empty room of the only hotel in Dark City
Aers to me because mainly the officials were my former subordinates and alien chiefs had met me when I was a kid
A massive queue formed in the viceroy's mansion
The officials came to debrief me, and I cannot disrespect the alien elders That hy I had to keepto dawn However, I was too occupied still, so I brought my wives/IA directors to help
It was not an easy job to bring in all the needed people Soon afterthem individually, I've come to know the develop in a few days because of the predetermined distance Therefore Fischer and I have decided to utilize the ti that should involve all of the provincial officials aient problems
Theit in the tiny conference building which can't house all of the 100 attendees, the arden
I went to fetch Fischer ahead before the start
”I won't be going” He riting behind his desk, he answered without even looking atis about Dark City's internal affairs so as the king, I'm not suited to attend”
”Are you sure? They know you like I do We used to s that wouldn't go along with me, ”I'm a little uncomfortable if you're not around”
”Don't be silly, Viceroy Cohen” Fischer dropped his pen and stood en face de reatly underestiative effects”
I scratched my head to show my confusion
”If other viceroys knew a king has attended IAof Dark City and backseat-driven the city decisions, ould hey think?” Fischer explained, ”Since the start of the civil war, old cliques royales haven't bowed to Luhrmann, are you aware of the reason? A, Luhr me”
”Watching?”
”Quite right, they want to find out if I'e war on theive the provincial decision or in other words, weakening your influence Even the closest friends like us will end up like so, let alone them So, what do you think they would think?”
”I see”
”If you come across decision difficulties, I’ll certainly help” Fischer tapped my shoulder, then added, ”Privately But don't think you can loaf on your duties”
”Duly noted” said I, ”Though we need to make those viceroys know you're still there somewhere You can't just stay in your office all the time”
Hehere”
I strolled to the desk only to find all the letters Fischer has addressed to those rebellion-free viceroys
”Way ahead of me”
”These letters will be carried forward once I show them to your father” said Fischer, ”I wish these power-at-hands are not bought off by Luhrmann”
”Our chance of winning exceeds Luhrmann's” I consoled, ”Besides, they used to be our royal blood clique and hold various conflicts against Luhrmann Naturally, they knohat a kind of man Luhrmann is It'll take Luhrmann some time to buy off them all”
”Hmm, the point youand promise me you can't throw tantrums”
”Yes, ”
As I left Fischer's chaals
”Tic-tac, right place, right time” I stood between my wives with a smile”
”Wrong ti is about to start and we're here for you”
”How do you know I'm here?”
”Flynn informed us” Winslet tidied my robe, ”Little did I think, you really are”
”She really is a prophet” I chuckled
Flynn said nothing with a smile while Carey spoke, ”Nevertheless, and Flynn said you will definitely ask His Majesty to join the et what you want How about that?”
”She read my mind” Flynn and I shared a look, ”This one is rejoiced to have such a ho understands her husband”
”Huh, looks like flowers and ht are helpful” Carey lowered her tone, ”My love, I'll escort you to your room, then the letter…”
I was both amused and annoyed but I had to let her
”Atten-hut! Present-arm!” In my presence, the orderlies and officers all stood up and saluted me as the civil duties on the other side bowed
”Greetings” I said, ”Sit down”
My three wives stood at a close distance behind me
”Finally, we're all here, onna say crap” I eyed over thethe past few days and I've co or two of what you've done in the past yearFrankly, you had your h you still need ti of how to do your job, it is fine You'll do better in time”
At the end of the opening speech, the civil directors on the left showed hints of smiles on their faces whereas the army holders sat squarely and their eyes follohere I went Both sides made a unique scene
”Given the fact that you did a fantastic job, our efforts can't catch up with the change Ten influence, that aniht and he's gotten hold of half of Swabia” I paused then continued, ”In order to avenge King Cliy and deliver this Luhrs!”
My second speech actually gained a uniform reaction since all replied, ”We follow you, My Lord!”
”Now, King Fischer has a right way prepared for the situation so ouldn't need to worry” I continued, ”But for me, I care et ready for the battle station That is why today'san unprepared battle and I cannot let our soldiers die in vain because of lack of preparation”
”Yes, sir!”
”Today's ards several subjects One of them is war readiness, the second is about the 36 Clans These two are hard bones to kill You're now free to speak your opinions” I went to the point seeing that all attendees were boosted in the mood, ”Carlos!”
A man quickly stood up, ”Sir”
”Let ive you a hint Carlos is the Chief of Staff of the Dark Army” I nodded to Carlos, ”Tell them about our army”
