      AWDC Chapter 88 Cover
      by Volare I have one of the few close nobles, Baron Starfen. He owns territory midway between Toriholi and Milona in the south, and since we are close in age, we have a friendly relationship. Another reason we became close was that he asked me for agricultural guidance. When he inherited the family estate about 13 years ago, the farmland in his territory was depleted, and he couldn't expect a good harvest. Unlike Toriholi, which is in the remote frontier, the Starfen territory has good transportation access, with a…

      by Volare "Damn it, making fools of us! I won't forgive this!" Gregg was on the verge of exploding with rage. A meeting, centered around Prince Raphael as usual, had begun, but Gregg was so angry he wouldn't even take his seat. Elliot was impossible to deal with like this. I prompted Richter to speak. "Well, isn't it fine? I think I'll take this opportunity to return to Midland and take it easy." "Yes, that sounds good. I shall go south and recite poetry in nature," the Prince added. Perhaps calmed by…

      by Volare Chapter 86: Palace Coup After six years of intimate relations, Hofer treated Queen Mother Margaret like a pet. She had become completely subservient to him. She could decide the palace budget at her sole discretion. Although the amount given by the government was far from her desires, the palace's back garden had become her exclusive domain. She had even gained the power to appoint personnel from cooks to seamstresses within the inner palace alone. Although she was dissatisfied with the total of…

      by Volare I told Elliott and Richter about the attack. "Have you figured out who the assailant was?" Richter asked Elliott. "Thanks to Toma making it look like the assailants killed each other, the investigation is proceeding without any connection to Toma. We thoroughly examined the bodies, but there was nothing to indicate their identities. Their clothes were cheap, and their swords and shields were not masterpieces, so we couldn't trace their origins from there. So, we made it known that people were…

      by Volare Chapter 84: Roy's Story That night, I had a long talk with Roy. "Today had a bit of a setback, but I'm in favor of building the mansion in that location." "Even though it's outside the castle walls?" "Even inside the castle walls, most of the nobles were burned out during this turmoil. Even the royal palace fell easily. Whether it's inside or outside the castle walls, it's not safe. If that's the case, it's better to make it a mansion where soldiers are always stationed." "If it's away…

      by Volare Chapter 83: Assassin Seven years had passed since the new government was formed. The new government diligently carried out its administrative duties. Thanks to agricultural guidance, crop yields in the suburbs of the capital had visibly increased. Farmers who were initially skeptical of crop rotation farming were now actively embracing it. Eventually, farmers across the country would likely imitate my methods. Furthermore, the rail carriages were also thriving. The carriages were overflowing with…

      by Volare Margaret believed that if her son became king, the world would be hers to command. However, her hopes were dashed after her son ascended the throne and Raphael began to handle state affairs. Regent Raphael's administration was running so smoothly that there was no room for the queen mother to interfere. With Raphael as regent, her son had lost his power. Simply being the queen mother did not impress the officials. None of her relatives from the Lamina family, neither her brother nor her…

      by Volare Chapter 81: The Works of the New Government This is the opening of Act 3. With Prince Raphael becoming Regent, the national administration proceeded smoothly without stagnation. The new government implemented tax reduction measures as a special case to prioritize the reconstruction of the capital. This acted as a catalyst, increasing the number of people living in the capital. To provide food for these people, I dedicated myself to agricultural land reform. As I had experienced in Toriholi…

      by Volare "Papa, look at this!" Marina came before me, showing off a dress with floral embroidery. "Whose bride is this? I've never seen such a pretty girl," I said, looking intently at my daughter, and Marina giggled happily. "Papa, I'm here too," my son Robbie said, sounding dissatisfied. "Oh, Robbie, you look quite dashing too. You look like you could become a fine knight soon." The two children were wearing dressed-up outfits and appealing to me earnestly. "Now, now, you two shouldn't cling…

      by Volare ## King's Enthronement However, there was another obstacle to Prince Raphael becoming regent. It was that Tareem's mother, Margaret, who would become queen, was not expected to readily agree. Toma met with Hofer. He asked Hofer to get Margaret to approve the establishment of a regency. "Why are you asking me?" Hofer questioned Toma, who had requested such mediation. "I am not acquainted with Margaret. I believe that the devout Margaret would not dismiss mediation from the church." Hofer…
