It has been three months since the so-called "wolf's Night" tragedy took place. A lot has changed in Nebelhorn. But before that, let's turn first to a city that is slowly beginning to develop itself as the "busiest and most populous" city in the western part of Akkadian, Saint Georgia City.
Very different from Nebelhorn City, the city where Jean and her lover live is rising from its slump.
Population numbers began to multiply and a massive reconstruction was done six months ago, when Jean went to the Principality of Eisen. Because it was in a period of peace, although only temporarily, the city wall was broken down to be expanded.
Major highways within the city or beyond have been built. It includes a road connecting Saint Georgia City in the former Dublin kingdom and Utah city in the former Bucharest kingdom. What used to take three days to travel, can now be cut into one and a half days.
In addition, new settlements for residents were also built. There are many people who migrate from their birthplace to Saint Georgia or Utah. That led city authorities to build shelters for the migrants and sell them to them.
Cities became more crowded and new villages sprang up around him, making the number of farmers and the land cultivated more and more. In the future, the townspeople would not have to worry about food supplies.
Behind all this progress, there was the hard work of Jean's lovers. Charlotte, Natasha, Priscillia, Selena, and Rose. They move with their respective roles. Charlotte moves the economy, Natasha takes care of things related to political affairs, Priscillia takes over administration, Rose holds military affairs, and Selena becomes Charlotte's personal secretary.
Jean gave them freedom. In one of his letters that he sent to all his lovers, Jean said;
"Do whatever you want and don't hold back. You're free to move as you please without my permission."
That's enough to make them free. Despite this, they all do favourable things for Jean as a form of loyalty to her.
Of course, they reported every activity they did to Jean. In the reply letter she sent, Jean also supported all their activities. This made the girls look very happy.
But, over the past three months, their work piled up. It was all because Duke Eisen made trouble by unilaterally severing diplomatic relations. At the same time, the Duke also boycotted the sale of metal ores and natural stone to the former Dublin kingdom and banned all purchases of agricultural commodities to the Duke's territory
This left Charlotte in charge of financial affairs completely a headache. He got complaints from Priscillia, Rose, and the others. It gives himself a headache!
A frustrated Charlotte kicked her table with a tired sigh. That's adorable. If Jean was there, she would obviously pinch her cheek and hug him.
While Selena, she smiled thinly and made a warm drink to refresh her nona mind. Not to forget, he also hugged Charlotte. Again, if Jean saw this, she would 'overwhelm' and 'eat' both right then and there.
"Calm down, Miss Charl, this is all beyond your expectations and your will. Even though the others are sending you complaints, no one is blaming you."
Selena's right. The other girls did send complaints by mail but it was just a form of formality and administrative necessity. No one blamed Charlotte for Duke Eisen's stupid decision.
Selena took out two letters that were both addressed to Charlotte. It was written from Jean and shipped from Nebelhorn city.
Charlotte read the first letter. So focused, he did not realize that his head nodded several times and his mouth muttered something. However, her once moody face had now become very bright.
"Thank God, this is good news for us. Residents in Nebelhorn city and other cities began to experience a scarcity of staples. This sounds evil, but their misery is our happiness."
Thanks to Duke Eisen's careless policies, important necessities in his country became extremely rare. The price soared and residents could not buy with the little money they had.
Duke Eisen has indeed established cooperation and made trade contracts with other countries, but that is not enough. In addition, as Jean wrote in his letter, any caravan of commerce leading to the Principality of Eisen must always be ambushed by bandits.
"Humans are obviously easier to survive in the midst of iron scarcity than food. In a moment, the dissatisfaction that was always suppressed would soon explode. If it was Jean, he would have taken advantage of it from the start."
Jean must have moved. That's what Charlotte believes. Although she did not understand what Jean was doing, but the results were always successful.
Charlotte knew what she had to do. She immediately asked Selena to contact Rose. Something very important should be discussed immediately.
