The Veon Empire was the largest in the Savana Continent. Although it has expanded throughout many years, there are still others who can go against them. The Uter Kingdom being one of them. For many years, this Veon Empire has ruled the continent until a few years back when our current Emperor, Henry Veon the second suddenly became ill.
The other neighbouring Kingdom made up an alliance and now we stand alone against them. The illness came without a warning and now there's rumours that a spy was there in the palace and that the emperor was actually poisoned. It is a possibility but we're not so sure of that.
The trading with the merchants have also declined since no one wants to trade with an Empire that will soon go to war. Thankfully our vast territory also extends to the sea and thus only a few ships of traders were open to trade.
With the war coming in taxes have naturally increased. For the rich it's nothing but for the poor is just like saying go starve to death. On the North and East borders our soldiers stands guard as that's the direct wall between the alliance and us. The South extends to the sea and on the West we have a neural Kingdom of Somu.
Given the history between us and Somu, i would say they won't be planning on doing anything to us just yet.
The royal family and the Church have equal power in our land. Although they don't like one another in such times they agreed for the sake of our land. The Church provides shelter and food for the poor and sometimes sent doctors to tend to the injured on the front line.
For now the balance is stable but who knows when it might get tilted.
As I looked around from my seat I saw that many of the husbands were introducing their wives to other people. How lucky. Even though we've been married for 5 years he had never introduced me to anyone.
The party got over around midnight and once again I'm back in the suffocating carriage. I dare not look at my husband, he seems to be in a bad mood. I wonder what happened.
It was a fun day, I got to meet people and went to my first social gathering, my maids were all over me when I came back. I guess it's been so long in this house that they could talk about such stuff. I don't know if they'll go back to their usual tomorrow.
As I laid on my bed, i realised there's so much stuffs to see in this world. So many things to discover. I wanna go outside, i wanna set sail to the ocean.
I heard new drinks would be coming in tomorrow so I should go visit the bar. Jared's birthday is also tomorrow i should buy him a present on my way.
Birthdays are a special day for someone, I hear they usually cut cakes and blow out candles. I don't know I've never celebrated my birthday before. I've never gotten any present either. My husband who doesn't think of me happily gave away my own mine to his beloved for her birthday. I wish I've gotten atleast a wish from his mouth for my birthday.
My eyes are starting to feel droopy now. I think I have too many wishes, i shouldn't do that. If there's a God listening to me i hope you could fullfill atleast one of my wishes. Perhaps I could be a little happy too.
The wind blew in from my window, a perfect atmosphere to sleep. I hope something good happens tomorrow too.
