Chapter 418: : Assigned
All of us immediately stand up to greet his majesty. We all bow our heads to give respect to the King.
"Greetings, your majesty!"
His majesty smile at us. "All of you may be visited. I hope I didn't made you wait for too long." He then walks in front. "I know all of you are curious as to why I invited you all here."
He look at each of us. "Prince Fraser, Prince Rufus, Doctor Leander, General Abarral, Colonel Randle, Advisor Mallory, Attorney Kirsa, and Dame Csille. I call all of you here because I have something important to ask all of you."
I am right. He called all of us to announce that we will be assigned a position in the new department. The time is really getting near. Soon war will break through the peaceful days of the Vrawyth Kingdom.
"Some of you might already be aware why I invited you all here and some might be unaware." He then look at each one of us. "The Aeslaerean Kingdom sent a letter the other day. Threatening the Vrawyth Kingdom that they will expose our secret to the public if we don't produce a thousand weapons for them."
Attorney Kirsa raises her hand. His majesty stares at her and nod his head as a sign that he is allowing her to speak up. "Your majesty, may I ask how can we produce weapons for them? I know we have forgers here but how can it be compared to the weapons made by Stozeterra Kingdom. So, why would they want our weapons if their ally can produce high quality weapons for them?"
The deal I made with his majesty was a secret one. Only me, a few of my people, his majesty and his people knows this deal. But when the Aeslaerean's letter arrived, his majesty didn't have a choice but to explain things to the nobles and to the army.
It's the reason why only Attorney Kirsa doesn't know about that deal because she is the only one who isn't working under the monarchy. Both General Abarral and Colonel are working in the army that's why they are aware with what is happening. While Doctor Leander knows what happened because he is working with the royalties.
His majesty heave a sigh. "The monarchy have made a deal with the Hope Foundation. Dame Csille here," his majesty gestures his hand towards me. "Have met a master forger. However, he only wants to work under Dame Csille so we don't have a choice but to make a secret deal with Dame Csille. But things went out of hand when someone from my part exposed that secret to our nemisis Kingdom, the Aeslaerean. They threatened us to expose our secret if we don't produce weapons for them."
Attorney Kirsa nods her head. "Your majesty, is it okay for me to ask what's decision you have made? Did you comply with the Aeslaerean's demand?"
"No, we didn't. How can I allow the Aeslaerean Kingdom use us as they will? We are considered the strongest Kingdom, so why would we let them threaten us like that. But you don't have to worry Attorney Kirsa, we already have counter plans for that. Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus will explain things to you later. For now let's focus on the purpose of why I invited you all here."
His majesty claps his hand and the Butler walks inside the meeting room with documents on his arms. He then starts to give documents on each one of us.
I look at the documents in front of me and read it's content.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It has a title named Department of War and Welfare. Then there is a whole paragraph why this Department is established and some other details about it.
"Aside from the counterplan we already made. I also decided to create a Department that will focus on the upcoming war. So, even if the Aeslaerean Kingdom decided to launch a surprise attack on us, we wouldn't be at losing end." His majesty pause. He probably noticed that we are all busy reading the contents of the documents.
Even if I was the writer of this story, I still couldn't help but be amazed on how fast his majesty works. It's only a few days since he announced that he will establish a new department yet he already made a concrete plan on it. He is truly deserving of his title.
"At the end of the pages, you will see names that I want to assigned to work in the new department. Please turn your pages at the last page and let me hear what are your thoughts about this."
Doctor' of the Kingdom. I know you are wondering why you are here despite you being a Doctor." His Majesty smiles at him. "Doctor Leander I heard aside from your skills, you are currently working on with making supplements?"
Leander nods his head. "Yes, your majesty. I was able to gain knowledge in formulating supplements in the Alderrdeen School of Knowledge. I already managed creating a supplement that will strengthen someone's bones. It will also help them boost their
strength."
His majesty smiles. Satisfied with Leander's answer. "I will be giving you a position in the monarchy as the head leader for medicine. You will form a team of Doctor that will you in creating supplements for them. So they can have stronger bodies. You will also train Doctors that will join the army to serve the wounded. I want you to pass what ever knowledge you can pass to them. Having a great Doctor in war will definitely boost the moral of our soldiers." Leander looks burdened by what his majesty said but he still nods his head in the end. It seems like everyone is reluctant to accept the position.
His Majesty look at General Abarral and Colonel Randle. "General Blavier Abarral. I am well aware of your special training and I am glad the Vrawyth Kingdom has a General like you. You will be assign to create a secret army compose of soldiers that will undergo your special training. With your secret training couple by Doctor Leander's supplements, I can assured we can produce a thousands red patches soldiers. They will only be revealed to the public once the war started. I want the Aeslaerean Kingdom to think that we are prepared." General Abarral's eyes widened. "Your majesty? Thousands of red patches soldiers but isn't that too much? How can I do that in such a short period of time?"
His majesty smile reassuringly at him. "I know you can do that, General. Don't worry, the others will help you too and Colonel Randle is here to help you too. Am I right, Colonel?" His Majesty looks at Colonel Randle who looks shocked with what is happening. He then nods
his head after.
"Colonel Randle, despite you being incomparable to the previous Colonels, you are one of
the greatest tactician the Kingdom had. You will assigned to design tactics to counter the plan
of the enemies."
His majesty then turn his head at the remaining three of us. "Attorney Kirsa Gravese. You will be assigned to counter the attacks of the Aeslaerean using the law. I want you to bring all of this to the international tribunal. For now, the Aeslaerean is still having thought on attacking us because of the tribunal. We will use this to counter any plan they have for us.
"Advisor Mallory Fenne Advisor, you will be assigned as the speaker for the Vrawyth Kingdom. You are a good conversationalist and knows how to turn each conversation into
your favor. You can work with Attorney Kirsa to borrow time. We need time so General Abarral can prepare his army. I am entrusting the safety of Vrawyth Kingdom to you Advisor Mallory. Prove to everyone why you are the youngest Advisor I ever had."
Advisor Mallory nods her head. I couldn't see if she is reluctant because she have a blank
face.
I guess working with the royal family makes her adapt their behavior.
His majesty then turn his head at me. "Dame Csille, you will be assigned to supervise the
weaponry. I want you to produce thousands of weapons that we can sell to the public and we can use for the upcoming war."
What? A thousand of weapons? How am I supposed to do that?
