Chapter 17 - Ch 11 Safest Place

"In my opinion, it is possible however, there must be a contract from us with them to stay here. If the immigrants come, we will provide a contract for necessities supplies and also what they will do for the Kingdom of Leynan after they became stable. For example, if one family came here, thus, this family must sign the contract. This contract is an extract for employments contract. We are insufficient of faceworkers in the North for coal mining. If the family sign the contract, therefore, at least one person will be sent to the north and his family will live here in the west. For the family that lives here, they must work for farmers, more estates will be explored for cultivation. Kingdom of Leynan is known to be the greater supplier of organic matter. We can enlarge the economic resource by providing organic stocks to buyers came from the west coast. Regarding the necessity for their children, they have to work according to the rules and their children will be provided with it. The contract at least is valid for about six months. After the period, they can decide whether to stay and renew the contract or to go back to their homeland. Regarding the nationality for staying more than 3 years, will be discussed with His Higness, King Gerald III."

Eric scribbles down what he heard from Alice. Duke Oliver nods and,

"I do agree with your opinion, master Alice, perhaps do you have sample of the contract which I can see first before handing it to the immigrants?"

"Yes, Duke." Alice handover the documents passed from Harry.

Duchess Nuri stays silent, she also look at the contract and read it.

After few minutes,

"I personally agree with your plan, master Alice." Duchess Nuri says and looks at Alice.

"Okay, she got me, I think it will lessen her hate towards me, hehehe" Alice mind mumbles

"I think with your plan and this contract is good enough. Then shall we go to the sites now?" Duke Oliver stands and walks towards the door.

It takes the whole two hours with carriage. When Alice steps out, she looks at all the immigrants helping each other with cooking and some taking care of their babies. Duchess Nuri provided them with few big tents and blankets, some food supply is given but it is not enough.

"Greetings ladies and gentlemen, may I speak to your head of the villagers?" Alice speaks loudly and gently. One man steps forward and comes to Alice. Alice smiles and offer a handshake. The man look at her offers and remain silent.

"Greetings, your honorable lady, I am Yugh the head of the villagers. I am very sorry as we came here without any permission from your kingdom. As our country is unstable right now due to the political issues, we found the west of Leynan the safest place for men and women. I am very sorry for coming here and put hurdles to the nobles. " He looks down to his feet.

"Please come with us, Sir Yugh, we will discuss this matter properly using the contract provided." Duke Oliver shows the way to one of the tents. They have a seat and the meeting begins.

"As long as the contract will not put the women and children also elderly in danger situations, we will agree to do anything. Just please let them live, they are all innocent." Yugh sighs
