" Its a good thing I recovered what's rightfully mine, now I should focus on restoring back this land to its former glory " the voice of Kyle Reinhart was heard, he gently sipped from the cup of wine he held.
Cladded in his noble outfit and with a lofty smile seen on his face.
Its being two days since the execution of the corrupt officials took place and the news has already reached the entirety of the Vahallan Empire, anything revolving around nobility isn't easily hidden.
And Kyle is infamous for being a Defect of the Reinhart Family.
Standing behind his seat is his personal guard, Ser Tristan, the captain in charge of this land's military force, and those who were sitted in the meeting room were his new members of his governing adminstration.
There were only six which he chose, three were young men and women and the remaining three were elders from the land, Kyle made it equal, both the young and the old were given equal chance to power.
" My liege, the major reason which caused the decline of our land was the confiscation of farmlands, the elites who ruled under the adminstration of the five executives frequently took our lands "
" Given us no space to farm and harvest our crops "
" They enforced the increase in tax and forced us to hard labor, We were basically slaves of the land, and if we tried to voice out....they silence us by publicly executing one of us " Aaron voiced out.
He is one of the three young government officials present in this meeting and a minister directly appointed by Baron Kyle!
" I'm aware of that and I apologise for such events happening while I was weak, but we don't need to still stay in the past right? I need to know a way forward, can we return back to the old days of prosperity? "
Baron Kyle questioned.
" Yes my liege, since the farmlands which was stolen from us is now returned to the people, we can resume our duties on the field but we need more lands, you see....the Rutherford Barony is currently divided "
Aaron spoke out.
" Aaron, be careful what you speak to the liege " one of the three elders present, Elder Armen warned, he gazed at Aaron scornfully but Aaron ignored the warnings which was meant to shut him up.
" Elder Armen....Minister Aaron is a government official and a minister of this land, he has every right to speak, Aaron....what do you meant by the land is currently divided? " Kyle asked, sipping from his cup of wine!
Aaron took a deep breath and he sighed out loud.
" Six years ago, before you were given absolute control of the Rutherford Barony by the orders of Duke Erald, Rutherford Barony was a unified land filled with wealthy and foods but when you arrived at the Werlock Castle "
" The five executives ceased power and they sold half of the Rutherford land to the normads, Savages who came from the north and settled down in the lands the executives sold out in exchange for their military support "
Aaron explained with confidence.
" Hmmm, so what you are saying is that there is a group of northern invaders settled in my divided land? but if they made a deal with the executives to protect them, why didn't they do anything? "
" They left the executives to die by my hands, why is that? " Kyle asked.
" Apparently you might be called a Defect of the Reinhart but you still are the son of the Patriach and the ruler of the land of Wysteria, they can't easily just attack you because you took your rightful power "
" But they are awfully quiet since you took power " Aaron explained.
Kyle relaxed his back on his throne, his legs crossed when giggled softly, he faced his officials present before him, Kyle gently placed the cup of wine on the table.
" Ser Tristan " Kyle called out.
" My liege? " Ser Tristan answered, his eyes were fixed on his lord who remained sitted with his legs crossed!
" You see, I'm the type who rules his complete land, since the Rutherford Barony was gifted to me by my father, It's only right for me to unify it " Kyle spoke out, his words created tension in the air.
" What are your orders? " Ser Tristan asked.
" Send a letter to the northeners who exists on my land, I will be giving them the ultimatum of leaving within a week, after a week, if they exist any longer on my land....they will pay with their bloods "
Kyle declared, his words shocked everyone in the room.
" Huh? What seems to be the problem here? " Kyle asked, he noticed the change in the atmosphere, he could feel the tension in the air, the men who were present before him remained quiet.
" Baron Kyle, sorry for what I'm about to say but are you planning on going to war with the northern normads? " Zavi, a fellow minister under the adminstration of Baron Kyle asked, he summoned the courage to speak.
" And what's so bad with that? "
" They are in my land, isn't it natural for a landlord to sack those on his land when he wants his land back? they have stayed there for six years already, it's time for them to return back to the north they came from, this is the eastern world " Kyle answered, his voice carried authority, the room became dead silent.
" It seems everyone has lost their ability to speak, the meeting is over " Baron Kyle said when he rose up from his throne, he turned to leave when he got stopped by the words of Elder Armen!
" Baron Kyle, you may be a young boy but I can see it in your eyes, the determination to regain your lost glory but I should warn you, going to war with the northern normads won't work in our favor "
Elder Armen gently warned.
" Oh? and why do you say so? " Baron Kyle curiously asked, his eyes squinted, his gaze were fixed on Elder Armen, Elder Armen gently raised his head when he looked at Baron Kyle directly in the eyes.
" Within the forces of the Northerners who crossed the borders to settle here lies a mage and a very dark one, a necromancer " Elder Armen answered, just by looking at his eyes, Kyle knew he wasn't joking.
" A necromancer huh? " Kyle asked.
" Yes, I was opportuned to see him when I tried entering the borders of their domain, I was a captive of the normads for more than a year before they released me, I knew what I saw in there, the horrors "
" That's why I warned Aaron not to speak about them in your presence, It's suicidal to go to war against them " Elder Armen added, Kyle remained calm and after a few minutes, He turned to leave the room.
" Just because they have a necromancer doesn't mean I will be a coward who would tolerate strangers in my own land, we will be sticking with my plan, I will be sacking those intruding bastards from my land "
Kyle declared, he made his way out of the room.
He took a few minutes before arriving in his chambers and the moment he walked into his room, a grin appeared on his face, an evil one....his heart leaped in joy, the air shook vigorously, he wasn't able to contain it.
The dark mana which were scattered into the air.
" He-he-he-he-he, I was wondering when I was going to encounter one of them, necromancers of this era, I was reincarnated in a family that stands only uses swords and auras but I can never forget my origin "
" Although I only have fragments of my memories from ten million years but there is only one thing I know, I'm Astroth Vermont.....the strongest dark mage to ever exist, a being who could kill gods with ease "
" Although I'm currently weakened now "
" I'm pretty certain I can kill the little mages of this era, isn't that right? Fenrir? " Kyle questioned with a smirk seen on his face when he turned his gaze, a dark wolf appeared right beside him, a dark mystical beast.
His first summoning since the time he reincarnated.
" If I'm going to fight against the new gods and their apostles, I should confirm if I really am weak in this world, this necromancer will be my test subject! "
