282 Mole in the kingdom (1/2)
After hearing the long scientific talk of how these bulbs work, Don asked Ken the obvious question.
”Providing the light bulbs to Agoria will not be a problem considering the dam is in Agoria, your majesty”
”I sense a but, Ken”
Knight said,
”But, your majesty, transporting the electric energy to Emir and Ishikara is quite troublesome,”
Don couldn't help but rub his chin for a few moments
”If I heard you right, without this electric energy, these bulbs are just glass filled with Nitrogen right?”
”Yes, your majesty”
”Then build your generator and the rotating wheels near where we rooted the water spirit since the place will soon turn into a lake. Dam, lake, you can work around”
”I can work around that your majesty if you tell Amaryll to raise the budget for my works”
”I will tell her, you start the groundwork for producing these bulbs”
Amaryll and Uncle Dior became better at managing the treasury of Everlight as each and every coin and life stones kept accounted for.
Both of them allocated a certain amount of wealth to the inner circle members of Everlight to manage their unit and work for six months. However, if anyone wanted more than the allocated amount, they had to go through Knight or Don before Amaryll or Uncle Dior to grant whatever amount they needed.
”Speaking of Amaryll, I heard she's planning to start a winery with Amber, I'll go check it out”
”No, I'll go”
When Knight was about to leave the place to meet Amaryll, Don stopped Knight and said.
”I told you to take it easy, Don”
Knight frowned hearing that Don wants to go to Emir
”Knight, you stay here and start planning the shipbuilding process. I can handle this”
”Alright, but be careful, your body is still healing itself”
”I know, see you later”

Martin looked anxiously out the window.
From yesterday, it started snowing in Emir and formed knee-high snow banks throughout the kingdom overnight.
Though the sky looked gray and gloomy without a ray peeking through the thick clouds, he still had other ways to tell the hour.
It was the training time of the new recruits to the black army of King Don. Even in the weather like this, they were running through the square in the town center since the early birds first chirped. Of course, after seeing the wages for military personnel, it was even tempted Martin to enlist in the army. Plus, the warm bone soup and whole egg for each of them was something that comments couldn't resist.
Thanks to their early morning training, he was able to estimate the time when he should depart.
Yes, he wanted to flee Emir as fast as he could. Although the orders of King Mattia were for him to keep lurking in Emir, to observe everything that's happening in Emir, and pass the information to Monivelle. But he did not want to stay any longer as he noticed the black-hooded group of King Don arriving at Emir. This meant one thing, that they were here to check the security before King Don arrives at Emir.
He was afraid that if he was found by these devils by any chance, they would make him beg for death.
This was not an exaggeration as everyone knew about the merciless punishments of Don. For a man who ordered the deaths of half of the nobles without a second thought, who knew what he would do to a spy like him?
Since Don took the throne, strange things kept happening, which the others might not have been aware of—it was not surprising as most of the town people were too happy getting their purses filled with coins. Other than food and wages they earned under Don's rule, they did not care about anything and started to worship him like a god. But he was different. He was a trained spy! Inquiring about the news and stealing intelligence was his special skill, so that was why His majesty Mattia hired him for such a job.
