BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172 New Management
The whole rebellion went rather smoothly without many people dying on the commoner side, but on the noble side, most of the families lost their valuable properties as well as lives.
The whole Rapidclaw kingdom was in peril right now because of this hang-in by their last thread. It would only take one single mistake for them to start conflicts again.
Lucky for them Velian kept everything under control using Davin's face which was the main doppel of Velian.
"What's going to happen from now on?"
"Are we really going to form a new government?"
People on the street and in taverns were gossiping about their new leadership. Now that their royal family is nowhere to be found and one is a prisoner of Velian, they had no hope for Rapidclaw royal family.
Velian's army quickly took precautions so people won't start thinking they have the freedom to act against them.
Even though people didn't believe Velian enough to hand over the control fully with the help of merchants who were previous friends of Davin's cooperation quickly supported them to establish a quick and temporary government to control everything in exchange for prosperous business development in the city.
They couldn't forget the taste of golden coins when Velian's business flourished in this city.
"Sister, where did that princess go? I lost my tracks for a moment and she's gone," Velian didn't want anything happening to her because he wanted to convince Julius.
Sure, Julius won't agree with Velian to hand over the kingdom but still, from what he knew about Julius, Velian could easily guess as long as he can ensure his sister's safety and future he would go along with his request.
"One of our girls rescued her, we have her location since we sent a spy so don't worry," Naomi was also there nodding her head but she had a dissatisfied face.
She was dissatisfied with how her girls dealt with this problem, Naomi expected them to capture Julie as soon as possible but instead, they let him get away.
"It's all good then, don't lose sight of her and if she's in danger help her," Velian gave his last order before going to meet all the representatives from the kingdom.
Most of them were business owners as most of the adventurers left this kingdom and even those who remained didn't want to participate in this meeting since they were too low-ranked to even know about something like management.
"Looks like, I have to meet the head guild master of this adventures guild to see why it is so powerful?" Velian had so many things on his mind.
At this point even though he was too powerful, he didn't have enough manpower to complete them and the problem with the prime minister also remained unsolved.
"Ahh~ I want to see Elda and Sariya, how am I going to develop my relationship with them from now on?" Delviny and Daphnia stood behind Velian in the meeting while he was daydreaming.
He pretended to care about the bullshit the merchants were talking but he just didn't really care about them. He let Daphnia manage all of them as she wanted to help Velian.
Right after the meeting, every merchant left the meeting room with a satisfied face seeing Velian's interest to build a wholesome relationship but if they knew he wasn't even listening, most of them would puke with anger by how insulted they feel.
"Mother, after this we need to deal with Empire before other kingdoms come for us, so isn't it time for us to return to our birthplace?" Hearing Velian's question, Daphnia had a really confused face.
Even though she wanted to see her own mother, going back to that cage where she was held like a bird felt absurd to her.
"Don't worry, they are going to regret every single thing they did to you," Velian said with an excited face but suddenly his mood changed as he remembered Daphnia's words.
"Mother, you said that man also had symptoms like what we saw earlier so do you think?" Velian couldn't even finish his words as Daphnia looked at him with her eyes widened.
"Well, I always knew something was wrong with that queen but now it's confirmed, she used something strange to control the whole empire,"
The woman they were talking about was one other than Andriya.
"Now this got complicated! We don't know her real strength so it's extremely dangerous to fight her, but we can't leave her alone after what she did to us,"
Velian thought for a minute about the advantages and disadvantageous of keeping Pete alive.
"Well, if something happens we can use Pete as a hostage," Daphnia decided Velian's words with her head shaking left and right.
"She's not that like Veli, I heard some disturbing stories about her, and I don't think she will stop just because we threatened to kill her son,"
Without even knowing Velian and Daphnia we're entangled in a loop which cannot be solved because of the lack of information.
Velian thought for a minute about the most effective way to deal with both Rapidxlaw kingdom and Empire while keeping an eye on other kingdoms. Also, he had to be careful about this unknown power which looked like black smoke.
"Damn it, this is a lot to take,"
With Velian's group overloaded with work, time went by rather fast as they started building everything again from social structure to the military.
Some nobles cooperated with Velian after seeing that he isn't some village bumpkin as they thought.
With new policies under the Velian's temporary government, everything went back to normal rather fast with him planning to connect all three territories of his to create a large kingdom.
Meanwhile, the news about Pete's defeat spread throughout the Malfoy Kingdom making everyone go insane with how absurd the news was.
They couldn't accept the fact that a third party, not even a kingdom army beat up their powerful army and this forced Andriya to take action since she didn't want anything to bother plans right now.
"It's almost complete, I won't let anyone destroy my dreams like this," Muttering to herself, Andriya once again sat on the throne of the empire with everyone's cheers hoping she would be the beacon of light for them again.
