Hi everyone! So since we last talked about a week and a half has passed. Most of the new town had been completed and everything from all the roads to underground systems have been connected. It has actually gone a lot smoother than I thought it would.
Now with these things done and out of the way we can focus on setting up officially the armies and trade deals. Now although we have military personal in the form of city guards we don't actually have an army. We have the Air Force branch set up but we still don't have the army and navy set up.
This is needed to be done even though realistically we don't have the manpower to do so. By doing this we will assign a general in command for the army an eventually find someone to be in charge on the future navy.
Another reason as to why I'm doing this now is because we can more thank likely expect the demon empires royalty to visit us some time soon. By having proper officials such as the general and so on it makes us look more like a real, hard working nation. There will be other seats to fill like assigning a prime minister which then will also add the first Duke family in out empire. I hope to have all this done before the demon king comes to visit.
While we consider these things we also will start the trade between the two continents. Right now we don't have the manpower to be able to take the resources there so instead they will come to us which will bring new citizens along with it. We will of course welcome new citizens however if they commit crimes here they will be imprisoned here then sent back to where they came from. I'm not going to tolerate people dirtying my nation.
So far we have a few things to trade that will supply a great deal of income for us. We have a huge pile of unused magical beast resources that we can sell on top of processed goods that were made by the nation. These include things from tableware, weapons and even to wooden furniture that all look nothing like what the other nations have. That's mainly because of ideas from my old world but I'm sure those people won't mind me taking their ideas right? Not like copy right laws or anything exists here.
Right now we have already contacted the demon empire to let them know that we are able to trade and are opening our borders. We estimated that the first trading vessel should take about 3 weeks to arrive. The reason being that the demon empire will have to travel around the mainland continent first then travel the vast ocean to get here. Although faster than other wooden vessels back on earth because of magic power helping to make the ship faster it will still take time to arrive here. At the moment we are only trading with the demon empire but once we start to trade with other places we should be able to expect a large constant stream of ships coming and going. I'm quite excited for that moment.
Aside from these things that we have been dealing with I will be getting ready to head into the forest to level up a bit. The reason being is that I actually haven't levelled up since the last time I showed my stats. Why? Well because Sylvie is a VERY protective wife and wouldn't let anything creature get anyway near me. Every time they did I would t be able to even turn around before I saw a puddle of meat paste laying on the ground. I mean I should have better stats than her but believe me she can move. I won't even argue back to her, I saw her angry aura before and that was the first and last time I wanted to see it.
So I will be going into the forest to level up for a while, while we wait for everything to finally start. Once everything is done we will be returning to the main continent so that we can collect more info, connections and even visit other royalty of the continent and establish friendly connections.
But before all this I should probably show my stats just as a reminder right? Well here it is.
Name: Iris Crimson
Race: vampire
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Level: 24
Hp: 9000
Mp: 8500
Strength: 18
Agility: 18
Intelligence: 17
Speed: 17
Endurance: 19
Vitality: 18
Those are my stats minus all the skills, titles and blessings. That's because nothing changed and to be honest it would be an information overload to include everything. So I'll move on and get ready.
But... I have a slight confession to make. Let's just say I may or may have not told Sylvie about this little trip. I know, I know I said I would t want to see Sylvie angry but if she came I wouldn't be able to kill anything. To be honest if I brought anyone with me I would t be able to fight at all. It's not just Sylvie that is protective of me all the citizens are. So I'll be going to the forest alone, BUT don't worry cause I left a note so all should be good hehehe.

*The next day*
*Maid point of view*
*Knock knock*
-Good morning your majesties, are you awake? I have brought a pair of fresh clean clothes may I enter?
As I stood there with two pairs of beautiful clean dresses including underwear I was feeling excited to be able to see their majesties first thing in the morning. Among all the maids here although small in number it's the greatest thing one can do in the morning. It's the best thing one can do and we all have our schedules for this. As I stood their waiting I suddenly hear a thump then a *CRACK!!*
Immediately thinking something was wrong I rushed in to help their majesties. All the maids in the palace are trained in combat that could even outperform the royal guards of the demon empire that are considered the elites of the main continent.
As I rushed in I immediately froze on the spot. Her majesty, Iris's wife, Sylvie was stood over a table that was shattered into pieces by her hands. In the other was a note that was scrunched up into her hands. Her face made a smile and was laughing but her eyes weren't. Quickly realising something was wrong I stood at attention and asked her majesty what was wrong.
-Your majesty what is wrong? Is there a problem with queen Iris? I can dispatch the guards immediately if needed.
As I said this she slowly lifted her head and made eye contact with me. It scared me a little although I knew she wouldn't do anything to me. She passed my the note she held and told me to assemble the guards.
Looking at the note it had beautiful handwriting but it's content was not. It read:
~Good morning my love!
Don't worry about me I have decided to go on a little trip and will be back in about a months time or so. There isn't a need to look for me I will be safe but I do hope that you will have the bath ready for when I return I may be dirty teehee.~
Well it's definitely short and sweet but once I read it I was frozen in the spot. I don't know how much time had passed but maids and guards cane rushing towards the room. Apparently I and her majesty had been releasing such dark auras of pure rage that they thought something had been seriously wrong. Once everything had been explained they had the same reaction.
We all loved her majesty as she not only saved our life's but also have us a new one. Yes we may be slightly protective of her but we all love her so much we would throw our lives away for her.
As soon as we could we arranged search parties for queen Iris. When we catch her, AND I MEAN WHEN WE DO. She won't get of lightly. None of us will and even more so her majesty queen Sylvie. When we get our hands on her hehehehe. She won't do this again!

Else where a very beautiful girl suddenly felt chills down her back and turned to look in a specific location. Suddenly she felt that something bad may happen if she continued to look that way so she picked up the pace and ran, yes ran, as fact as she could.
In the distance she could have sworn she heard 'IRIS WHEN I CATCH YOU, YOU WONT TRY THIS AGAIN!' Again feeling the chill she ran like her life depended on it further into the forest so she could level up.
