Chapter 1011: New resources
Two weeks, that was how long it took for the prime minister and the chancellor to organize the new lands that we had conquered.
Though to say that they had been organized was a bit of a stretch.
That was because there were still parts of the Darius Kingdom that were still a bit chaotic, but that wasn't because there weren't people there to organize the lands.
It was because the people there were still causing a bit of a problem.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It would take a while before they calmed down, whether by using words or force.
Still, that was just how it was.
The meeting that they pulled me into today was about summarizing all of the new lands that we had gained. They had put together a report of all of the new lands that we had conquered and all of the resources that were on it.
Though I trusted them to manage it, they still insisted that I hear about this since I was the king.
When the meeting came, I couldn't help teasing them, "It must have been fun going around to all those different places while I was stuck in the castle."
There was a bit of bitterness that was in my voice as I said this.
That was because I had been stuck in the castle doing all of the things that the prime minister and the chancellor would have done. They were the ones that insisted on going out to arrange the new lands, so I was the one that was stuck for the past two weeks going over the paperwork.
Though I had Angela and the former king's help, it still wasn't something that I wanted to be doing.
The two of them looked at me with smiles on their faces before the prime minister said, "Your majesty, you're too important to go out to these places yourself. You have to take care of yourself."
Though it seemed like he was showing concern, it was clear that he and the chancellor were rubbing it in.
That was because usually I was the one that ran off and stuck them with the paperwork like this.
They must feel good that the shoe was on the other foot for once.
The others that were in the room just watched all of this with complicated looks.
It wasn't because they found this strange, but rather because they didn't know how to feel about this.
That was because the people that had been gathered by the prime minister and the chancellor weren't from our Kite Kingdom or the former Midra Kingdom. All of these were the people that had been chosen from the three other kingdoms.
These were people that had been chosen to take up positions of power.
That included the former king of the Vikal Kingdom who was also sitting there with an awkward look on his face.
He had fully expected to be executed, but now he was being pulled into a meeting with the king and the upper echelon of the Kite Kingdom. This definitely wasn't what he had expected to happen when he surrendered to the Kite Kingdom.
He had been certain that he would be executed since that was just the normal way that things went when a kingdom was captured.
The circumstances that he was currently in really were strange.
Once we finished arguing with each other, I sat down and said, "Alright, what do you have to present to me?"
As soon as they heard this, both the prime minister and the chancellor revealed serious looks. They went to the front of the room where the presentation stage was and then pulled out an entire map that they hung on the wall.
I was surprised that they had prepared an entire map for this, but it did help with the visualization.
After they pulled out the map, they started summarizing the different parts of the three kingdoms that we had conquered.
The first thing that they presented was naturally the results of their hard work.
They pointed out the parts that they had already stabilized and the parts of the new territory that still needed to be worked on still. These were all things that I knew since I had been receiving their reports during this time.
Nothing that they told me was new, so it wasn't as if there was anything that I needed to say.
This report was mostly to introduce the various people that they had brought back with them. These were the people that had been put into the positions where they would be managing things, so they were the ones doing the hard work in the future.
They just needed to meet me so that we could properly establish the relationship between us.
That was what the prime minister and the chancellor felt was appropriate, so I just went along with it.
Finally, they came to the thing that I considered the most important.
The different resources that were found in the new territory.
This was the most important thing for me since I wanted to see if there was anything in the new lands that we were conquering that I could use. Last time it was the Void Ore from the former Midra Kingdom.
I was wondering if there was anything from these three kingdoms that I would be able to give to the system to create new items.
As expected, the resources that were contained within these lands didn't disappoint. Though I didn't know if the system would want them just based on what the prime minister and the chancellor were saying. I would have to see these things myself to see if they would be
useful or not.
So I cut them off and asked, "Do you have samples of all these things?"
The prime minister and chancellor were surprised to hear me say this, but they slowly nodded their heads to show that there were indeed samples prepared.
I expected this since I knew that people as capable as the two of them wouldn't possibly miss something like this.
So we headed off to the warehouse that had been filled with these things.
