He wants to be annexed to our land . Tyler raised his lips with a complex expression . What? Yeah . He doesnt say it directly, but thats what he wants to do . I dont quite… Yeah, Im shocked too . What are you going to do? Its not up to me . I will meet up with him first and then report it . Hmm… Feels like its us who is giving the land to the king . NO, sir, you cannot say that… Its okay . Its the truth . Tyler stood up and walked to the window . The hot July wind pa.s.sed through . Tyler wiped the sweat off his forehead and opened his mouth . Its my second borns birthday soon . We should hold a party and send out invitations . Yes, sir . Berman bowed and moved out of the room . Tyler turned back to the window and dove into his thoughts . Khalodian is so powerful, it can even unite the continent… this party will be interesting . Tyler smiled . It was a chance . This will be the spark . * Ten land regions near the Khalodian perimeter requested to be annexed into the kingdom . The world was surprised and countries began to send emissaries to complain and enforced restrictions on their land, but it was too late . It was the start of a new season . The bell rang, signaling the early morning hour . Jackson woke up from an alarm clock and moaned . He rose from bed and looked out to the window . Summer is almost over . He approached the window and felt coolness seeping in from outside . He then opened the small refrigerator that was placed below the window and took out some water to drink . Hah . He shook his head to wake himself up and looked out to the window while tending to his hair . A proud smile filled his face . I did this…! The sun began to rise and it shone upon the city and forest of buildings on the road . I was just a lieutenant of the Guards back then… He remembered the days he spent guarding the village with his brother-in-law . But it began to change after he met Joonb.u.m . He was only an errand boy at the beginning . Khalodian land had people who served the count for a long time already, but the same applied to Joonb.u.m . He instead distanced himself from his fathers advisors and relatives . He even declared that he had no intention of being an heir to the land . -Huh? No, Im not interested . Its for my brother and sister…- . and he made a kingdom . Jackson smiled . The sun was s.h.i.+ning more brightly and the city was now being uncovered from the darkness . Look at all these buildings… The city was full of buildings and one of them was a hospital . The Khalodian Central Hospital was only three stories high, but it was wider than any of the nearby buildings . There were multiple buildings throughout the city to provide medical services to the people . Thousands of patients visited the hospital and there a lot of people were visiting the kingdom to be treated by the hospital and the doctors . Next to it was the Khalodian Central Bank . It was a place to store the treasures of the continent . A vast amount of gold and treasures were stored within the vault below the bank . All trades made on Khalodian land were endorsed by the Khalodian Central Bank . The worlds economy is in our hands . We will not need to fear anyone now . Khalodian Kingdom was now second to none . This was why they stopped expanding . We have to go slow . We have too many parasites already . The kingdom worked hard to rout out any criminals and fight corruption, but it still existed . He turned to the huge statue holding a flail . It was a statue of the G.o.ddess of Judgment . The twenty-foot-tall statue was placed in front of the Law Enforcement Building . We should enforce it from the beginning . This was the part Jackson was mostly working on . The kingdoms law was strict and the punishment was merciless because of this . All new laws were posted at the front of the Law Enforcement Building and the central plaza . -Children five to ten years old need to learn how to read, write, and do math . If anyone neglects it or disrupts the education, he or she will be fined five hundred thousand gold coins and three years of service in the mines . A second occurrence will result in ten years of service, and after the third time, one will be sentenced for life . - This was because of Jackson . Some considered it to be excessive, but he did not care .
