Chapter 185
The King's Death
It took a while for me to have a meeting with the Earl Sagitaria .
Thanks to everyone working with all our power, we were able to complete the transition to the banknotes system already .
At first there seemed to be some confusion, but everything was solved fast .
It was written in Sebastian's report, because I built a good relationship with the citizens . . .
It is not foolish, they truly helped solving all issues about the transition .
If I didn't build this good relationship with them over time from when I came to the territory, probably now things wouldn't have been carried so smoothly up to here .
There are various modifications that I did to their way of life, and they accepted them and put efforts to adapt to the changes .
Various reforms and policies, and changes that were improved over time .
What I have done so far is connected .
I thought that the path I walked until now was not in vain .
At Azuta Corporation, we have already raised the prices .
Other commerce offices are also dealing with changing the prices etc . within the Duke of Almeria territory and in the kingdom .
" . . . . . . Even so, have you told the commercial guild people as well? about the coins?"
Sei who came to report the trend of Azuta Corporation finished reporting, and finally said so .
"They are top notch businessmen . . . Don't worry about them"
To my words, he had a worried look on his face .
"If confusion happens, it is highly likely that we will not be able to do business as before, as it is easy to imagine that the distribution will be stagnant if we go out of money . . . they are top-notch merchants . . . So leave it to them as to not create confusion . "
"I see . . . "

Sei agreed and nodded .
"Well, the operation of Azuta Corporation, as it is now, is fine, we could arrange escorts from our territory as security to each store . . . If any problem is reported from now on, deploy the escorts . "
"Okay"
Just then, Tanya came into the room .
" . . . . . . Milady, official news that the king died have arrived . "
Finally, I wonder if the time has come . . . . . . for a moment I thought that the time has stopped .
"So…"
I answer while exhaling .
"No way, did you know . . . ?"
"No, but I heard that there were not much time left for the king"
" . . . Is the king's left hand minster who said it?"
"Perhaps Princess Elle will be holding a funeral for the king soon . It cannot be helped, because she wanted to give Edward the throne soon . . . . so Tanya . . . "
"Yes"
"Lets prepare to go back to the territory . I will return to the territory after the funeral . "
"but……"
"The worst situation has already started, so stay here any longer is useless, if I continue in the royal city they will find material to attack me soon and they will start . "
" . . . I'm sorry I didn't think about that, I will prepare for the journey as soon as possible . "
"Okay . . . Also please . . I want to think a little bit on my own, will you let me please?"
To my question the two of them present nodded and left the room . (TL: Tanya and Sei)
Immediately after that, I exhale heavily .
I tried to support my head with a hand .
. . . The king died . . .
Princess Elle and the Marquis take the power .
What will happen to this country?
What will happen to the territory?
Even though I don't want to think the worst, there is no stopper, it has started, anxiety is consuming me inside .

I put my hands on my clothes so as to ascertain the presence of the pocket watch that is hanging from my neck .
"Whatever state the kingdom is in, I will make the territory unshakable . "
Suddenly, I remember the words that my father used to say .
"Will be the truth or will be nothing . . . when that time comes, all our questions will be answered . "
While holding it to myself, I embraced it with all the strength I had in my hands and hugged it to my chest . (TL: the pocket watch)
Do not run away . Losing is not allowed . I will not give up .
That is responsibility .
I have to be prepared in order to do take the required actions to preserve them .
. . . . . . Those were the words that I used to tell myself whenever I had problems in my previous life .
Though it's late to recall now my former memories, I was lost suddenly in them now .
"Whatever the circumstance is, I have to fulfill a given role . . . . "
After all, what I ought to do remains the same .
Thinking that way, I calmed down .
When I have calmed down, I went out of the room to tell my thoughts to Bern and my mother .

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
