"What is the message about."

"It seems there is a peasent revolt in the second biggest city and the surrounding areas have decided to support it. The princess is asking for some funds to further the flames and do some damage."

"Which faction was the city part of."

"It was part of the first princes faction and it seems that the noble which rules the place has been killed. The mayor is still alive and he has joined the rebellion." said Felix in disgust.

Killing nobles is frowned up on a lot in this age. If the noble died on battlefield or rose up in rebellion, it's fine but a noble should not be executed and killed deliberately. This is because many old noble houses have died from there being no heirs so they basically created these rules. There was basically no reprucussion when I killed the count because there was evidence that he was planning a 'rebellion' which was definetly not fabricated.

I got a lot of anger for killing the princess but it basically did no damage as there are basically no nobles in my kingdom except the new nobles I made who are not influenced by outside forces. The nobles I also made were military nobles so they were supportive of killing an enemy soldier who killed many of our forces. Many nobles outside the kingdom looked at me with cold eyes but that was not enough to influence a country's foreign policy.

Any commoner who executed a noble or a king without a justification always have had a bad end. The problem now is wheter to send the funds to the princess. I would like to do it but I don't have much money on hand right now. I also don't know wheter the princess will use it to further the flames or for some other purpose. I can't exactly supervise it. I also want to develop the kingdom but if I don't give her the funds right now, I will lose my credibility which is useful to me.

"What is the amount of money she wants."

"Your majesty, she wants 20,000 marks."

That is a lot. For reference, the income of the Kildarians is barely 1 million marks and they are by far the richest country.

"Give her a intrest free loan of 20,000 marks and instruct our intelligence agency in the empire to supervise her flow of funds. Don't cooperate with her in her efforts to further the rebellion."

I always wonder why the protaganists of my old world would spend copious amounts of money in political struggle helping some other person even when they might not get the same amount of money. I would rather give loans to my candidate and get the money back. I also gave her an intrest free loan. Intrest in this age was quite high due to all the messy fees levied by the banks. She should be really happy that I am giving her an intrest fee loan.
