No woman has ever steps foot in political worlds ever since their ancestors lived. Actually, women cannot live as higher ups unless she is a nobles' wife or a queen of the kingdom. Standing alone in the top level ranking is impossible especially if the woman is from peasants family.

"Please have a seat, Sir Eric and a Miss.. ." Minister of Finance from Ciyas ridicule Alice and tries to laugh, nevertheless, Alice keeps smiling and silent as nothing happens.

"You highness, a general audience is requested for today as to discuss the land matter on Ciyas which is three parts of it is owned by Kingdom of Leynan. Today, master Alice will convey the plan made for the benefits of Leynan." Eric nods to Alice and he take a seat.

Alice walks and stands besides the King of Ciyas, King Elijah IV.

"Your Majesty, the King of Ciyas. It is my honor to present to you the scheme that we have been working on for the land. We will buy the compost from the village near the land, which is from the dairy farmers of Ciyas. We will use the compost to fertile back the barren land. Some of the farmers from Leynan will be sent to take care of the land. It needs consistent care for the land to be useful again. Therefore, I, Alice as the representative of the Kingdom of Leynan will ask for seal of approval to use the nearby river which is Min River that belongs to Ciyas. The barren land needs at least 3 years to be taken care of. Since it was caused by the sudden burning for the last six months. Your Majesty, thank you for listening to my requests. This request will end here."

Some of the ministers burst into laugh at Alice.

"What? COMPOST? hahahahha what actually do you think 'master' hahaha?"

"My apologies for interrupt, my father was a great farmer, therefore he taught me slightly to manage a good soil. Though, I will try, and the farmers of Leynan agreed to the plan."

Eric just keep silent all along. He analyse Alice but in a way once could not tell. He seems like he does not care, however his mind could not stop thinking about the proposal from Alice.

"How about the price, how much will you offer to the farmers for the compost?" ask His Majesty of Ciyas.
