271 Emir’s Transformation (2/2)

The humans in the army were allowed to remove their helmets and masks unlike the elves, dwarves, and everyone who didn't belongs to the human race to keep the slave traders and trouble away from them.

This was the first time Amber saw a girl in the army as no kingdom allowed females to be in their army and not to mention the army, many husbands and fathers wouldn't even let their wives and daughters work. Even in the noble circle, only the powerful cultivators and girls who had special talents leave their houses and work, like Amber. But a majority of the peasant girls' couldn't get a job and even if they did, it would be a maid or a servant in a noble house.

However, Don and Knight treated everyone in their kingdom equally and allowed the girls to be recruited into the army for the same wage as any man in the army.

”Yes, what's wrong with that?”

”You allowed girls to take part in war? As a soldier?”

”Ah huh, at the moment, we value talent and thirst to prove themselves more than their gender. Just like you and me”

It took several seconds to pull herself together after hearing Amaryll and looking at the female soldiers.

”So the men in their house didn't have a problem with this?”

”They did actually but we knocked some sense into them”

Amaryll and her team of black-armored men explained and convinced some fathers, brothers, and husbands who were genuinely concerned about the girls' safety. However, some men felt offended to let the girls in their home earn more than them as they used women to cook their food and gave birth to their babies. Men like them got special treatment from the black-armored men and all it took, was a few broken bones to convince them to let the girls choose whatever they want to do with their life.

Amber noticed a foxy smile on Amaryll face

”Sometimes violence is the best approach”

Amaryll wouldn't have said this a year and a half ago but now she started to mature and see things differently than she used to.

Amber blankly stared at Amaryll and walked with her while noticing the various merchants coming and going and a few noble carriages passing them by. The amount of crowd roaming the streets and the merchants on the streets indicated the prosperity of the kingdom and Amber wanted Sigall to be like Emir in her heart. Yet, she had no idea the amount of wealth they poured into Emir to make this happen.

After a few minutes of walking, Amber had finally seen the walls and the towers of the Emir castle. Emir castle had been renovated by the dwarves some time ago and fixed most of the repairs in the castle. Even though the castle was mainly built using gray stones like Sigalla castle, Amber could tell that this castle looked more appealing than her castle as Emir castle had more watchtowers, strong tall walls, a water-filled moat, and fully intact glass windows.

Many women and men were still planting flowery plants and tree saplings around the castle since they now had ponds and streams to water these plants.

”Lady Amaryll, Princess Amber”

When they neared the castle gates, the guards quickly opened the gates as they saw Warren walking out of the gates to welcome them.

”State head Warren”

”Lord Warren”

Amaryll and Amber said respectively as Warren bent his back a little and bowed towards Amaryll.

After rooting the water spirit, most of the lands here began to turn fertile. This made Warren's job a little harder as he had to recruit farmers to utilize the fertile lands and Loren became busy with beautifying the kingdom. Besides recruiting farmers from the villages, Warren also had to oversee the block separation of businesses and houses in the capital while still managing the mining operations around the kingdom.

Thanks to Don's intervention with nobles who now had no noble title to their names became more supportive of Warren and paid taxes without coming up with excuses.

Warren's busy schedule and lack of sleep became apparent because of his sleepy eyes. His hair was disheveled as he lost a few pounds.

”You have to get some rest, State head Warren”

Amaryll said noticing his shape as Warren let out a sheepish smile while fixing his hair

”I didn't know you are coming, Lady Amaryll, I had no time to arrange a proper welcome for you and Princess Amber”

Amber had visited Emir a couple of times with Amaryll before they rooted the water spirit, so she became quite familiar with Warren.

Amaryll and Amber followed Warren into the castle and seated themselves in the living room to discuss the reason they came to Emir.

”State head Warren, how do you feel about starting a winery in Emir?”
