Slowly, the internal stability in the (former) Dublin government has returned to what it was. Hungry bellies were filled, destroyed houses and other buildings were repaired, and activity was restored. The streets of Saint Georgia City are crowded. The children were running around freely while their master's men were shouting so as not to just run around.
The market is alive and economic activity is running as it was. All of this happened in just one month. If you can see this situation firsthand, it's as if all the conflict and upheaval that happened one month earlier was a lie.
This is the result of the determination of the population who do not want to give up. They put in as much effort as possible to survive and shoulder to shoulder with each other.
But without the intervention of Jean and the girls around her, none of this would have happened. Saint Georgia City and other regions may soon be chaos given their lack of food and other essentials.
Jean drained the barns of the nobles and the royal family that he had removed and sold them for a very cheap price. Almost free.
Jean also mobilizes his forced laborers to repair homes and buildings that have been destroyed due to the previous siege.
Charlotte and Selena also move in their own ways. Both are trying to provide building public facilities such as orphanages to house orphans left for dead by their father and mother.
Seeing that everything is in order, Jean moves on to the next plan. Conquering the kingdom of Bucharest.
Priscillia and Natasha, who are still in the De Ruhr area, have been watching the movement of the Bucharest kingdom. More than that, they are also looking for their loopholes and weaknesses.
There are many, but the most prominent is the fact that they failed to repel the sea that had occupied the port and the surrounding places. Economic activity became very stagnant and huge losses approached them.
Quietly, Jean had moved all of his main troops towards De Ruhr. He made sure that the opponent's spies could not detect his movements. For this reason, Jean ordered his troops not to take the main route but to pass through a thick forest.
"In the next seven days, we will conquer the fragile kingdom of Bucharest. Charlotte, I want you to stay in this town with Selena. Rose, you need to come with me."
Charlotte, Selena, and Rose nodded. They understand their respective tasks. Although it is stable, economic conditions in Saint Georgia City are still fragile. Charlotte's needs will be indispensable here. Selena's there to ease Charlotte's work.
If it was Rose, because she was Jean's strategist, her presence on Jean's side was much needed. Especially when it comes to the battlefield.
"Be careful, Jean. Come back safe, okay?"
Charlotte and Selena hug Jean at the same time. While Jean, she smiled wryly and returned the embrace of the two. The warmth transmits to Jean's heart, making her never want to part with them.
But Jean doesn't have much time. Today he must immediately go to his territory. The Siege of Bucharest cost a lot. The more Jean delays it, the cost will swell and she doesn't want it to happen.
That day, along with Rose, Jean returned to the De Ruhr area.
