Chapter 98 - 98.The trouble is brewing

When they passed entryway they saw something like small cave. Trough side openings went small part of light hitting at the crystals and making the sight miraculous.

All over the walls were inserted power stones that reflected light towards big recliner in mid of cave. When they got near they could feel the energy floating around this recliner.

"Father, mother lay down on this and whenever you feel tiered or weak just lay down here and it will heal you and give you new energy. Actually, this was Isaa's idea. We wanted actually to make little sea here so you could enjoy and swimming but after we made the cave we found out the high concentration of energy on this spot so its perfect for two of you. When we leave, you two will probably work a lot and won't give yourself any rest. We thought about that and we felt after work you can come here and reload energy. By the way," she started backing up with Isaa," this is your honeymoon place. We will seal this place on ten days. Have nice time."

Kendra and Isaa run away and passed the gate, jumped on clouds and sealed the entry so they couldn't leave and just enjoy the time together.

They flew down to the palace where the Secretary waited for them. "I sealed mother and father in their place. Now let's start work. I want them to have lesser work when they come back."

Kendra sat down on table and started rearranging all the papers while Isaa helped her bringing all the work and arranging the food for them.

Kendra used her knowledge from passed life and gathered all the officials. She arranged their new duties so the biggest workload won't be on Lord Cassian like before.

She arranged as well the importance if papers, the arrived news and put everything down chronologically. It took her while week to finish that work.

She rearranged the soldiers and guards, implemented new ideas like health and retirement program for the fief and lowered already low taxes for commoners but rose the taxes for those that had already some.

She chuckled when she thought about all the nobles that wanted to hide their wealth. After two raids they had clear view of their wealth.

Some of them are actually just by name nobles as they had minimal wealth, enough to just live comfortably. But some of the nobles really had quite a wealth so she plans to make them pay bit more.

She plans to make different kind of taxes for different kind if parts of town. Nobles and commoners outside could of course not have same tax.

After seven days she made most changes. Closing last file she looked at the clean table and then saw Isaa sleeping on one of seats. She looked trough window and saw it was deep night.

Last seven days she didn't close her eyes and worked hard. Luckily, she is power user and could handle days without sleep. But she forgot that her body is after all one of a child.

And Isaa was still just tiny human being as well. She stood by her side and changed with Secretary with jobs. Kendra would just write down and give orders without stopping.

She ordered the harbor to be extended. She employed everyone without job into fishing or drying factory. She even made few novelties like deep dried food that could be taken and used on travels.

With her ideas the fief will have steady supplemental monetary entry. The food could be sold through the continent. She sighed in relief. The work is done, now she can leave and can travel around without big worries.

She used her power to pick up Isaa and floated slowly trough the door.

On her way out she saw Secretary sleeping on chair next to the door while bunch of servants tiptoed around him. It seems he was exhausted as well. She used her power to heal his body and whispering asked about his room.

He lived in one of servants quarters. It seems he lived quite astetic as his room had just few things in it. She put him on bed slowly, coveted him and then thought about how to show her gratitude. She saw old ring on his finger and after checking it , it seems that that was it. Just old silver ring.

She used her powers and changed it into space ring with few tens square meters. Like that he can use it in need. She felt grateful for all his work so she left enough gold for him to live comfortably for lifetime.

She went out and saw all the servants waiting for her. She motioned them to go to the hall while she put Isaa in big bed in guest room to rest. She kissed her forehead and left while ordering two servants to keep watch and let her rest enough.

In big hall waited rest if the servants for her. "What is it? I have time now." She asked while smiling kindly.

They looked at each other and didn't knew how to say it. One small servant shook her head seeing them like that and stepped forward.

"Since the wedding, there is a long line if people coming from outside and claiming that they had a house here. But Officer Luar said it is impossible as he had all the papers that they sold their places. Now they are making trouble for all travelers that wanted to enter the Caledon Valley. We didn't want to say anything but this situation is getting worse by the day. We saw you working like crazy and had no idea what to do. Even Secretary's hands were tied so all we could do is to wait. The problem now is some of us still have family members outside that went traveling for the sake of the Valley. Please help."

Kendra calmly nodded. "Don't worry, I will go now. This is no big trouble. There will always be troublemakers. Do your job and we will do our. I hope you like the changes so far?"

The little girl nodded with a big smile. " Now even my grandmother has some additional money every month. She said that new changes will be the most amazing thing ever implemented in this country. For old people to have some extra money for their own private need is good. "

Kendra patted her head. "I made a few more changes as well. For now only people that work for us and their families will enjoy this but soon I will change the law that will make everyone use that law. But if I find out some people misusing the law, the verdict will be expulsion out the Valley."

All servants smiled. Some of their elders lived outside town and they were worried about their future, but hearing these words...They all choose to work even harder for this new Lord and Lady. This kind if conditions couldn't be found anywhere on the continent.

She waved her hand and went out where her cloud already waited. She patted the cloud and sat in it this time while dangling her feet of it. She felt a bit tired but used Restoration to help her bit with the sleepiness and flew quickly towards the border passage.

She saw from far multiple fires and at first, she thought that these were normal bonfires for warming up, but getting closer she saw some people putting on fire different kind if stuff while some people were restrained.

She saw soldiers floating around and not knowing how to help as they has order not to leave a border for even a bit. She just waved them and they left.

She his in her cloud to see how they will react after the soldiers go away. And she was right.

At first, none noticed the absence of soldiers but soon a man with a familiar face looked towards the place where soldiers floated on their clouds and saw them leaving one after another. Soon all the soldiers went away leaving him stunned. This is not what he wanted.

"Hey, heeeey. Are you leaving like that? What about your people from fief? Don't you want to save them?" He yelled and saw the soldiers flying away and nor even turning around.

Some of those people gathered together and Kendra got closer with her cloud to hear their conversation. The man was no one else than her 'father'.

Suddenly out the crowd came old man and yelled at him. "You told us that if we do this they will let us in as they appreciate their people from the Valley. What now?"

"Calm down and let me think about it." He looked around and his eyes fell on one woman with a big belly and red hair.

Kendra remembered that Fintan told her about Cian's mother. It seems she went to another city to check the stores. She scrunched her eyebrows. If that person gets the wrong idea...

She looked around and got wicked thought. Mischievousness was written all over her face. The smile became bigger as she waved her hand and send small whirlwind towards the fire.

The wind got ignited with the fire and she turned it into a fire tornado. Cian's mother stood there looking calmly at the fire while those troublemakers started screaming and running away.

She turned around and looked at the place she assumed that someone is hiding. "You must be Kendra?"

Kendra gave up hiding. She knew from Fintan's story that she is quite witty and amazingly wise. She sighed and appeared on her cloud while dangling her feet freely.

Cian's mother shook her head as she saw her relaxed behaving. "Are you not worried that I might be someone bad?"

Kendra almost laughed aloud. "Cian is your copy so I was quite sure who you are. On end, even Fintan spoke about you as well."

"Then let's go home. The children in my belly seem to be quite hungry." She patted her big belly while confidently walking towards the shield.

Kendra laughed and opened a gate and summoned cloud as she didn't want her to go on the carriage. After all she is already around.

Cian's mother just got in without even commenting.

''Sorry, I can't go with you. I need to take care about those people or this situation will repeat. Please forgive me. " She bowed deeply and disappeared.

Cian's mother shook her head and just let the cloud fly her back home while the carriages slowly traveled towards Caledon City.

Kendra looked around but couldn't find anyone for a while, she was about to give up, but she felt vibrations and something strange happened.
