"I will write down the concept in detail. Your highness, what we need now is to prepare the management"
True, the management or organization will play an important role in the construction of a plan. If it contains incompetent people then what we plan will surely be destroyed soon.
"Ah, this is the problem. The country of Nemorosa has just been formed so we lack talented people. I'm having a little trouble attracting all the talent because I don't know where to start."
True, even if the queen was talented, she would still have difficulty running a large organization like the country.
"In that case, let's make a big selection as soon as possible. Because talent is precious. The trick is to immediately send envoys to various places with orders for everyone who feels they have talent to immediately gather in the city of Branz. This is where we will select them"
The easiest way is to get them together and check their skills. Travel expenses need not be taken into account because this is also a proof of their mental readiness assessment. I asked the queen to do something like that and she nodded in agreement. She felt that the test should be a test of mentality and skill. It's useless if you have good skills but no mentality. And vice versa.
After discussing that, I said goodbye to the queen to return to the whisperwood region. There were many things I needed to take care of.
"There, Mr. Rio, what about the selection? Can't you come with us?"
"Well, I'll come in a month when everyone is gathered. In the meantime, I have to go back and check in regularly with Rika's parents. I'm sure they're very worried right now. I also need to prepare the materials that will be brought to trade with your highness."
Other than those two things, I still have some things I need to do as well.
"Then, your highness, what about the teacher? Have they been recruited yet?"
I asked her about it. It was very important as it pertained to the future of the people in the whisperwood forest.
"I've already prepared for that. I was just about to introduce her to you. Miss Layla, please come in."
The Queen called out to a woman named Layla and I could see the door start to open.
There, there was a woman with long blonde hair with an oval face like a grape. Her smile was also bright and looked very elegant.
"Hello, your highness, Lord Rio, allow me to introduce myself. I am Layla, a teaching team leader from the Sores region where Duke Irvine is located. I am currently asked to teach at lord Rio's place. I will try my best."
Layla introduced herself gracefully. Very suitable for teaching manners.
"That is, are you and your team willing to be in the whisperwood forest?"
I asked her because everyone must be scared of the whisperwood forest.
"Well, as lord Rio knows, there will definitely be such fear but your highness promised us glory for our families if we cannot return. Our families will be cared for by the state forever. This applies even if we are gone. Therefore, my team and I have the courage to agree to this agreement."
Ah, I see... It seems that the queen is really serious about working with me. In this way, I will also help Nemorosa with all my might.
"Thank you, Miss Layla. I also guarantee that you will have no regrets. Then, I have one question for you, Miss Layla, I know your highness must have told you already but I want to hear it directly from you. Do you have any prejudice against demi humans?"
I wanted to hear it straight from Layla's mouth. After all, it would be very uncomfortable if there was an unwanted incident like racism. It would cause inconvenience to all parties. It was best to confirm that now.
"I don't have any prejudice against demi-humans at all. We are teachers who teach our students fairly regardless of race. Moreover, we are also familiar enough with history that every teacher on this Luminara continent should have no problem with race. If I'm being honest, I'm only worried about the journey to the whisperwood forest. It's common knowledge that the whisperwood forest is very dangerous"
Ah, it turns out to be like that, then it should be safe and there should be no significant problems.
"Alright, I trust you. Also, don't worry about the problem of entering the whisperwood forest, I guarantee that you will be safe and there are no significant threats."
I have to give her a guarantee as the leader of the whisperwood village. I might need to create an official path to get to my territory but that might not be a good option.
"Thank you, Lord Rio"
We finished the meeting and I gathered everyone to get ready to head back.
"Everyone, thank you for your cooperation during this week. Let's go back and prepare what we have to bring to Branz Castle. If anyone has anything to add, you can say it now"
I said that before departure, there, there were the grip elves with me and the new teaching group of four led by Miss Layla.
I said that and asked them before traveling. I was afraid they would have a lot on their minds if I didn't give them a chance to speak.
Just then, Gil raised his hand.
"Gil, is there something?"
I said that and Gil answered immediately.
"My Lord, are you still receiving residents? There's a colleague of mine from the Beastman tribe who wants his tribe to join us."
Gil said that to me. It's not that I don't want more people but I need to verify their behavior. Are they all trustworthy? This is what I'm thinking.
"Gil! Can you guarantee that they are trustworthy? I don't want other residents to suffer because of my decision."
I said that to Gil clearly.
