Chapter 166: Troubles Keep Coming (2/2)

'I can't afford to make a mistake this big and offend the ruler of the night' thinking so Harold put those ideas aside and continued reading the report.

[Buraford Kingdom, Western palace]

Due to the fall of the Royal Palace, all work and also the officers were moved to the Western Palace, resulting in the various rooms in the Western Palace being used, which are usually empty.

[Admiration Office]

Behemoon was sitting inside with Sisko and Jordan sitting across her with names of various documents and calculations.

”Are you sure? This is the total amount of military expenditures sent in the last three months?”

Jordan and Sisko nodded.

Hearing that Behemoon sighed as she looked at the numbers of zeros. A total of 3 billion gold was spent in three months to upgrade the entire Buraford Kingdom to increase the performance level of the army as well as increase the quality of individual soldiers. Excluding the magic crystals used by soldiers to improve their cultivation. All this money was paid from Kai's pocket. After going through all the documents of previous years, she found out that this is the total expense of the Buraford Kingdom of the past ten years.

'Hopefully, the kingdom will be bare its financial burden after we complete the integration of the administration system of the Buraford Kingdom and the Alfrine Kingdom instead of relying on the Kai personal gold'

She looked at Sisko and Jordan ”So, what is the condition of the military? How many experts do we have at the Transcendent stage?”

Sisko thought for a moment and then replied ”Miss Behemoon, we have forty-six thousand Magic Warrior stage soldiers and six thousand three hundred thirty-nine Magic Knight stage soldiers”

Hearing that Behemoon nodded and wrote it down in a separate file.

”You can go now”

Sisko and Jordan nodded and left.

Sometimes later, Prince Julis entered the room.

Behemoon stood up and welcomed him.

Julis had arrived yesterday at Amon city and since the morning wanted to meet Behemoon after reaching Royal City through the teleporter. But due to her busy schedule, it was not possible. So, in the meantime, he had decided to meet Saintess Maya. Sara had already told him that she is currently staying in the Royal City, Utopia. He was delighted to meet her again after three years and had a long talk for hours. In the process he also came to know about the present condition of War Sovereign San Di and that Miss Ellie is currently busy finding the cure for the life severing poison of the Chaos Empire.

This meeting with Behemoon was already his 12th meeting in the last three months. Lots of discussions had been going between them to decide how to integrate both kingdoms slowly without disturbing the normal operation of both nations. Many times the Count, Earl, and other small nobles came to visit her with Julis to discuss the integration process.

At the beginning of the meetings, many nobles were against it in the initial period, but they were gradually convinced with the help of his father, King Walter.

Miss Kaya had visited the Capital to see the condition of the phoenix egg but didn't tell him or his after about it. Recently there had been changes occurring to it.

”Nice to meet you, Miss Behemoon. Today you look beautiful as always.”

Hearing that Behemoon smiled ”Mister Julis is a sweet talker. This is our first meeting after the completion of the integration process. Is there anything troubling you that you want to discuss?''

Julis nodded ”Miss Behemoon, after the earthquake that happened two days ago, the Phoenix egg started to cool down and the flames around it slowly faded away. My father is worried about it and sent me to talk regarding this issue. Thinking that maybe you know something about it, if not, we hope that miss Kaya can help”

Behemoon shook her head.

After completing her evolution process and becoming a Storm Mermaid. She had received the bloodline memories of different sea species but no information about the fire phoenix. Not to mention that Kaya is currently not present in the Buraford Kingdom and went to the Forbidden Forest to see how things are going there. Another reason was to see if anybody was teleported to the core region or any part of Forbidden Forest due to frequent space crack occurring during the phenomenon caused by unlocking of the continental seal as well as to meet the rulers of inner regions of the forest. They are currently attacking the eastern boundary of the Romand Kingdom for three months but now that Kingdom is back on track. No distractions are needed.

”Sorry, prince Julis. Kaya is not present in the Buraford Kingdom and went to visit the Forbidden Forest. I will inform you as soon as she gets back. I don't think it will take much time” said Behemoon as she placed her hand on her cheek and thought for a moment.

”At most, she will return by the next morning or late at night. But don't worry I will tell her about it as soon as she comes back”

Julis nodded, helplessly sighed, and left the room.

Behemoon wrote a note so that she doesn't forget about it and started going through various documents. Her work of the day has just started.
