Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Large Family Meetings (1)

One day has passed.

Today morning was right to see a number of horse carriages entering the ancestral home page.

Inside the house itself, the waiter looks back and forth busy preparing everything. Even the servants from the Landen residence also helped which signified how much work they had to do.

*****

While in Louisa's room.

Tok.dok..

"Who?" asked Louisa who had just finished getting dressed.

"I'm Miss Jen"

"Look Jen"

"Miss is ready?"

"It's just a hair brush."

"Let me help, miss. Lady Eliz asked me to pick up the lady for breakfast together. Some of the Valley family had already come and were cleaning themselves up. So Madam said, this is a chance to have breakfast before the start of the meeting. Well, it's done"

"alright. We go" said Louisa.

They walked into a small room beside the kitchen. There's been waiting for Eliz and Franklin.

"I thought we'd wait a little longer" Franklin's grandfather joked.

"Let's sit. Jen pull your seat. Breakfast with us. Reneism had breakfast first because he had to take care of a lot of things."

"Good Mistress."

They enjoyed breakfast together.

"Lorine after grandfather thinks, it's better that the crown you ask for later we ask for consideration to the extended family. So that there will be no misunderstanding."

Louisa had told him about the crown she had brought to Franklin's grandfather at dinner earlier.

"Grandmother agrees. Maybe we'll show them both crowns so they'll find it easier to judge. Even if it's Grandma herself, grandma would prefer it if you wear the crown you carry."

"Grandfather is the same. It's not a matter of the crown being more luxurious and expensive, but the two crowns obviously have different meanings. If it was the ancestral crown, it showed the wind valley as a stand-alone kingdom. As for the new crown, it shows a wind valley consisting of three regions made into one."

"If it's in the view of grandparents like that, I'll follow" Louisa said.

After breakfast, they headed for the large meeting room. There had gathered a number of Valley families from various regions. Some even come from other kingdoms, because they run medical centers there.

As soon as Louisa entered the room, all eyes were on her. Louisa smiled kindly.

The seating in the meeting room is made in a semicircle. With a long table in front intended for the seat of the meeting leader, and the speaker.

And there Louisa, Franklin's grandfather, Landen's uncle, and Lark sat down.

Tok!!!Tok!!!Tok!!!

"With this, our Valley extended family annual meeting is open" Franklin's grandfather said.

"This year's agenda is a bit different from the year before. If in the previous year we were only talking about the financial statements of the ninth district, this meeting we are talking about the formation of a new Wind Valley Kingdom. As well as the leader of the district nine as well as the name matching the replacement of the name of the district nine."

"But before that, let's listen to Lorine's reason for separating the nine distriks from Gordon's kingdom. I know some of us object to it for fear that it will be an additional burden for us. Lorine please"

Louisa stood up, saluting everyone present.

"Greetings to all of the Valley's grandparents, uncles and aunts and extended family brothers" he said

"Maybe some would have thought, if the request for separation of the nine districts from the Gordon kingdom was because I was heartbroken by my divorce with King Peter of Gordon. Here I am firm right, that is not the underlying. "

"Last year, before I became empress at Gordon, I wanted to build the Valley of the Wind into a more developed region. I have always been saddened to see the difference in the welfare of district nine with the Gordon region. Even as a future empress back then, I was already living with all the luxuries, while my brother-in-law struggled just to make the wind valley stand still."

"Even when I was empress though, I couldn't do anything for the wind valley because I was too busy taking care of all the duties of the empress I had to carry out"

"When I've received the notice about the divorce, I take the time to find out about the wind valley area more. And a note on an old parchment in Gordon's palace made me even more convinced by my decision to separate the nine districts from Gordon's kingdom"

"According to the record, once every two hundred years the central continent will experience a long drought of between two and three years. And according to my estimate, it will be about twelve to fifteen years away. But it could be faster than that. If that happens what will district nine do?" louisa said looking at everyone present.

Everyone was shocked, including Franklin's grandfather. Only Landen and Sofia are ordinary, having been told Lucky previously while at Gordon's.

It started to sound whispering among the participants.

"We all know, there's no way Gordon could have saved district nine while Gordon's territory was so vast with its advantages

each one. While district nine to date, still like a burden for Gordon. Therefore in my opinion, we are the ones who have to prepare our own area."

"So for that, I have some plans . The first thing we're doing is increasing the number of bodyguards and increasing their capabilities, because a kingdom must have good soldiers to secure its territory."

"Secondly, after the ceremony of the ratification of the kingdom and the appointment of the king we must conduct a population census or record the number of inhabitants throughout the region"

"Three, make a food post. That means we have to have our own farm. I know we often hear how thin the wind valley is, but I don't think that's entirely true."

"To four, the processing of resource output to increase its economic value. For example, coconut which is the main commodity of the eighth district, we can process it into oil whose selling price is much higher. Or milk that we can only sell limited because it quickly stale, we processed into cheese that can last for years."

"Fifth, if all goes well we make a storage warehouse for preparation we welcome the disaster of drought arrives. Later we make the warehouse in a hidden place to prevent suspicion of other kingdoms."

"Sixth. Because if the disaster happens there will be chaos throughout the central continent. Therefore, the number of soldiers we must increase over time also make fortresses in the border region."

"That's my explanation. If someone wants to ask later, they can ask again. Now I'm handing it back to grandpa Franklin"

Louisa sat back down.

"alright. We've heard Lorine's explanation. Does anyone want to ask?"

"Chairman, I'm Kremlin. Our family runs a medical hall in the city of Gem. I agree with all the plans of Grand Miss Lorine, but all of them certainly cost a lot. While the financial assistance that can be given by the average branch family is only five to fifteen thousand gold coins per year. How to cope with the cost, should we increase the amount of financial aid? Because it would frankly burden the entire branch family"
