220 Returning to Agoria (2/2)

”More, the merrier”

Reghys giggled as Don sighed and nodded at Arwen.

”Before we go, I need to bring my shield to the smithy and Catalie ”

When Don called out, the little girl appeared before him.

”I was talking with Vivian and giving her a tour, again”

Catalie looked like she had temporarily forgotten about Don's problem as she seemed to be in a cheery mood.

”Good to hear, now give this bow to Nikalas and ask him if he could do something about the sound when firing the arrows, I'd like if it made less sound”

”Alrighty”

The little girl disappeared with the Arjuna bow and Don made his way to the smithy while Arwen, Reghys, and the soldiers followed him behind.

While he was on his way to the smithy, he saw Knight playing with the cubs by chasing them around the training ground. Despite his worries and concerns, looking at everyone in Everlight eased his mood and motivated him to build an even bigger kingdom.

”Me king, Guardian, Arwen, welcome ta Thibrig's smithy, how's tha armor treating ye, me king? I helped stodemar forge it, it's nae broken again, be it? I can reforge it in a jiffy me king, wow look at this beauty”

The bald dwarf talked non stop and stared at the shield in Don's hand with sparkling eyes.

”Just paint it black and tell Stodemar after you finished”

Before the dwarf could stop him, Don entered the smithy and put his shield on the work table.

”Don't try to lift it Thirbig”

The dwarf looked at them with a confused face but they left the smithy before he could ask any questions.

”Your majesty, you're back”

When Don entered the throne hall in Agoria, he saw Clemo who seemed to have lost a few pounds of fat in his body.

”Where they came from?”

Lord Clemo thought Don was cultivating alone in his room and he even put extra guards in front of the room to make sure he won't be disturbed but looking at the black-armored men, Arwen, and the gorgeous lady behind him.

Lord Clemo couldn't help but stare at the lady for a moment as she had the perfect curves and an angelic appearance that would raise even the women's heartbeat. She seemed like a goddess walking among men and the golden robes she wore added an extraordinary grace to her beauty.

”Lord Clemo, meet Lady Reghys, she came from Everlight and will stay with us for the time being”

Don ignored the drool on Lord Clemo's face and it took a few moments for Lord Clemo to realize that Don was talking to him as he was mesmerized by Reghys.

”Oh, it's...a pleasure to meet you, Lady Reghys”

Because of his weight loss, he was able to bend his back more and do a proper noble bow.

”Nice to meet you, Lord Clemo”

Reghys's voice was neither too arrogant nor too humble as Don made his way to his throne and settled down on the throne and gestured at Reghys to take the seat near the throne.

”Bring me to the speed, Lord Clemo”

Lord Clemo was getting used to his new bearded look and the beard made him more rugged and cold faced.

”The amount of refugees coming here is increasing day by day, your majesty, I've put most of them to work with your men in the construction sites. But your majesty, when the winter starts, it'll be a burden to feed all these new mouths”

Until his kingdoms could stand on its feet, he had to run the kingdom using his own wealth, and luckily, he amassed quite a lot of wealth.

”Did you receive the goods I ordered from the merchants?”

”Yes, your majesty, but I'm afraid we need to order more clothes and provisions if you're planning to keep the refugees”

”I am planning to keep them, where do they go if we chase them away? Did they give you anything to contact them?”

Lord Clemo nodded as he searched his pockets and took out a couple of talismans.

”They gave me these talismans to contact them if we want to place an order, your majesty”

”List the items we need to safely pass this winter and order as much as we need, and don't worry about the coins, just do it”

Lord Clemo was shocked to hear such an order because it would cost relatively a high amount of coins to buy the items and provisions even with the discounted price, yet he seemed not to care.

Speaking of coins, Lord Clemo recalled the time he saw an immense amount of gold coins that Gabriella brought after selling the dwarven forged armor and weapons. Still to this day, he got goosebumps thinking about the stacks of gold coins as he had never seen such an amount of wealth in his life and Don made it possible in a few months.

Although he questioned himself where he got that much amount of dwarven forged armor and weapons, he was never going to question Don.

”Your majesty, Miss Gabriella said she sold the first shipment of the armors and weapons, I put the coins in our treasury”

The amount of gold he put in the treasury could comfortably run Agoria for at least two more years and he was glad that Don came out of his secluded cultivation because he felt responsible for the safety of these coins and it stole the peaceful sleep from him.
