Alexander was sitting his “office” if you would be able to call it that. The butler, on the other hand, has found a more fitting description of the room. “The prison of the prince” now you may ask why this room is called that way.

Simply because the room had no windows and documents of all sorts were lying around in every corner. Even Alexander himself was lying on the floor at this very moment and thinking about how he could prepare for the coming war.

“My troops are nearly ready, but I haven´t prepared the economy enough. The South Lusitanian Trade Company is making more and more money as I intended. Thanks to the money I receive I can now buy more material for war, but I have a feeling that just buying weapons isn´t enough. I need to expand the mines of The Lonely Hill and increase the production of steel and iron in the Clamor Smithery. Also, there is the logistical problem of bringing the ore from the Lonely Hill to the Clamor Smithery. I think I need to ask my friend that´s part of the Ministry of Transport, Innovation, and Technology for advice. I probably also have to recruit more lumberjacks to fuel the smithy.

But that is not the only thing I will probably need to do.

I will also have to open up new mines and expand them, of course, I will also build better infrastructure and buy several farms and collectivize them to maximize the output.

(the term collectivize is purposely used. It has the meaning that everyone that signs up to work there will have to live there and work communally on the farm. Kind of like the Soviets did.)

Then I need to open my own arms industry and connect them to the Clamor smithery.

Fuckkkkkk it´s just too much to do!!!!!!!!

well, let´s start the work isn´t going to lessen if I wait.”

Alexander stood up and walked to his chair, began writing instructions on pieces of paper and finally went out of his room, with at least 20 different letters for various people in his hand.

Alexander went straight to the kitchen because it had become late by now and he became quite hungry.

He opened the door to the kitchen and was greeted from Theodor and by a sweet smell lied in the air.

“My prince, the food is ready.”

“You don´t have to say that Theodor. I could tell that the moment I entered the kitchen. It smells amazing, as always.”

“If you would kindly follow me into the dining room.”

On the way through the kitchen, Alexander saw many delicious looking meals. So, after they reached the dining room, he was wondering in which sequence the different meals would arrive. The butler opened a door and Alexander was greeted by a big majestic looking room, with a big round table in the middle.

The interior was either red or made out of gold. On the walls hung paintings of god like figures.

The prince gets astounded every time. Even after he enters the room dozens of times already. Because every time he entered the light seemed to bring yet another amazing detail of the room to life.

“My prince, would you take please take a seat.”

“Yes, of course, Theodor and tell the maids they can bring in the foods now.”

“Yes, my prince and would you like me to over bring these letters if yours.”

“Yes, the people which they should be given to are mentioned on the letters. I want them to be brought as quickly as possible to the person.”

“They will be there in no time be assured, my prince.”

Alexander took an extensive meal, which he tried to enjoy as much as possible.

After he finished it, he went to his sleeping room. In the room was only a single bed, that was right next to the wall.
