"My lady, did you hear about the rumors?" My maid said while brushing my hair.
"Mm.. No, what is it?"
"There's a rumor going around that your majesty the king was given a suggestion by the marquis to challenge their successors for their right to the throne" She said now putting my dress on.
"Mmm.." I simply shrugged.
"I know it's a silly suggestion made by the marquis although.. it will be a great chance to prove yourself to your majesty the king don't you think?" She looked so excited thinking..
But..
"I don't have time to care for such trivial things and you know it.. Even if I tried, I know my father- The King wouldn't picked me."
After adapting in this place and era.. I still realized how the society still treat women..
It's the same in this world and my world..
AIthough my memories is still hazy from what I remember in the world that I came from the Earth adhere to the ideology wherein men rules and have much responsibilities than women..
You can call it a "Patriarchal society" It's where we women doesn't have any responsibility nor courage to do what men do but..
That's all in the past of the Earth.. In the era that I lived there still women who strived and conquered the societal norms..
"Don't you think that my lady can be an exception.. I know that your majesty will notice you once you showed him what you really got!" I looked at her smiling with confidence.
'Is she trying to cheer me up?'
"Its done my lady.. You look beautiful as always.."
My maid named Ferina.. I'm always thankful for her being there from the start.
"Thanks.." I replied with a smile.
Three weeks later and the rumor that spread in the entire capital turned out to be true.. and here am I at the front of the door of the courtroom hesitating to open the door.
'Behind this door lies the sea of eyes hungry for judgement..'
"My dear sister? What's wrong? Are you afraid that you can't even touch the doorknob?" He said sarcastically..
And here I thought that the day couldn't get any worse.. Antonione Mark Auguste the second prince.. My brother!
When I thought that I will not meet Grim reaper after I die. I must've been wrong because this is straight up Satan!!
"Greetings to His Royal Highness.." I bowed with courtesy.
"Well? Should've I known that my little sister could be so respectful to his older brother.." he grins like a true devil!
"If you don't have anything good to say feel free to go in first, after all you love the attention don't you second prince?" I smirked..
"Hmmp- well let me show you how's it done.." The second prince indeed open the door and to my surprise the first prince is already there..
I thought he isn't here yet guess I'm wrong..
"His Royal Highness have arrived with Her Royal Highness!" The royal guards announced..
'The courtroom is still the same as ever..'
There's alot of spectators specially nobles with high rankings and that's why the atmosphere is always heavy.
The courtroom has started and pass for two hours..
One particular issue springed along the courtroom is the decline of raw materials and the low harvest..
"The Tower of Scholars predict that there will be a bad winter this year"
"T-Then with the low harvest and the decline.."
"This is a crisis!!" One nobleman exclaimed.
"What should we do? Your majesty?"
"I will take this opportunity to my childrens to solve.. In this way, they can acquire experience and knowledge in managing the Kingdom in the near future "
"But that's a little.." the courtroom was filled with whispers coming from the other nobles.
"I think this is a great idea, your majesty! Its like hitting two birds with one stone.." it's the marquis
"I guess it's time.. I'd like to hereby declare to give Prince Nicholas, Prince Antonione, and Princess Jasmine the right to manage the kingdom's sovereign lands.." The King announced with magnificence.
The courtroom that was once full of whispers are now filled with joyous expression, Although mostly with insincerity..
After a moment later the courtroom has concluded and days passed and we're summoned again in the courtroom..
But this time were only meeting the King and the Royal Court officials.
In the courtroom they explained how we will manage the kingdom's land in-detail..
We are each given a piece of land to manage.. So basically we will act as the Land Lords of these lands in order to solve the current problems faced by the Kingdom.
The land that was given to me is The Land of Verdia in the East..
The first prince was given the Land of Iva in the North..
And the second prince was given the Land of Piell in the South..
And after that the courtroom ended and as soon as it ended I went to my library to investigate the Land of Verdia..
Few hours later..
The Land of Verdia is a province in the East that once was known for their rich herbs and their soils but due to frequent outbreaks of monsters the lands that was filled with rich herbs and fertile soils are now turned the land into corrupt and hotspots for monsters
The last landlord of Verdia thought of using military force to subjugate these monsters but it didn't happen due to bankruptcy
'Military?..'
It's possible to use military before but Verdia right now are facing decline in population due to frequent monsters sightings and monster invasions..
'If it's other landlords that will be the only way but..'
"For me.. it will be different"
In the past hour or so.. I laid out numerous methods and techniques that I possibly think and one–..
Knock! Knock!
