Chapter 15: Leaving Merrina Town
Leaving the Green Hive, The sun already half way down on the horizon, it already 3 pm.
"Sire, Madam….You can expect the slave to arrive, 2 weeks from now…". (Madam Hive)
"Thank you madam Hive..". (Elijah)
After the brief farewell, we leave the Green Hive and slave market, Then head for the Duke Mansion. Arriving at the Mansion, I was greeted by the duke again but this time is to say goodbye.
"Isn't it pretty late to head back now?…Why not stay here for tonight?…". (Duke Merrica)
"Thank you for the offer Duke, But his excellency said he doesn't want to stay any longer.. as we has more pressing matter awaits us back at the Black keep…". (Elijah)
"Well…that's unfortunate....Anyway, I hope His excellency have a safe travel…". (Duke Merrica)
Although Duke looks dejected by my refusal to stay at his place, he doesn't insist on it. Seeing that the formalities has ended, me, Elijah and Mina once again jump into my van and headed to the town gate with Baroness Lydia escorting us on her horse.
The whole process was smooth, by the time we arrive at the gate the guards already opened the gate wide and prepared a grand salute for us. Baroness still following beside us until we exited the town perimeter and into the main road.
"Your Excellency, Lady Elijah…..I suppose this is as far as I can go, Please don't hesitate to find me again, should you visit Merrina..".(Baroness Lydia)
"We will Baroness….Till next time.." (Elijah)
"Till Next time Lady Elijah, Your Excellency…..HIYAH!". (Baroness Lydia)
Galloping her horse Baroness Lydia figure slowly getting smaller on my back mirror. To me this visit was quite successful, I got the man power I need to rebuild my, also I got some Informations and supply. After such a long time being stuck with formalities,we finally able to let loose, Mina on the back seat is already fall asleep. I turned on the radio and play a classical music, which apparently Elijah favourite genre now.
We finally arrive at the Keep around 3 am, although it was already late, Bina and her squad was still awake to receive us. All of us headed straight to sleep, it's has been a long day and as I finally land on my bed, I immediately fell asleep.
2 Days later..
"Sire, should i placed the stock we bought from Merrina in the stock room?..". (Elijah)
".…Yes, I supposed so….just put the raw materials in the stock room…as for the food and other things leave them in the storage rings…".
As usual, after having my breakfast at the dining hall, I bunker down in my room and have a meetings with the first five. By the way I already able to speak Fantasma Language, but I still learning on how to write them.
Now that I already secured man power for my company. It's time to set my plans for my company, for that I planned detailed step by step plan and management style for the promising future of Black Keep company. I've decided to implant a Stratocracy government, in my opinion this is the best and most suitable government style for this era. I can't afford to waste my time on petty squabble of politician, so it's better for me to have a total control of my company and territory. My plan now is to solidified B.K.C foundations, for that I need 3 main things, High Quality Workforce, Systematic and effective management, also Stable and lucrative Economy.
"okay all of you, I want all of you to listen..as this is a serious matter concerning our future..".
"'YES SIR!'". (Elijah, Mina, Bina, Rafaela, Andrea)
"As all of you already knew, we already named ourselves as Black Keep Company…also, you all know that I already intended to build a Company of my own…but due to a sudden changes, I have to alter that plan, I have decided to build an Independent state…".
"Independent state?…..is it the same as a nation?". (Mina)
Elijah was the only one who still calm after hearing my vision, as for the other, all of them shocked and stunned by it.
"Yes, Mina….Sire, has decided to build a kingdom in this land…". (Elijah)
".…but…Can we?..isn't it much safer to get protections from one of the nations near us?". (Andrea)
Andrea was one of the calm voices amongst the 1st 5. She was always supportive, but when it comes to risky things she would always be careful.
"Of Course we can!!…With His Excellency to lead us, I believe nothing is impossible..beside, for me I rather pave my own path rather than depending on all those wolf like nations around us…at least under His excellency, we would never be treated as poorly as before…". (Bina)
Bina was clearly excited on the fact that, I will be leading them and making my own nation.
".….I also agree, for me, following His excellency is my life now..no matter where..I will always follow his excellency…". (Rafaela)
"Thank you for that Rafaela..".
"You welcome your highness…Tehehe..". (Rafaela)
"I do consider joining one of the nations before….but not anymore…you all wanna know why?..".
Bina, Mina, Andrea, Rafaela and Elijah snapped back from their conversations and focus back at me and nodded
"Because I don't like them…Yes, they were big, safe and full of opportunity…I honestly can't see myself joining their ranks…I don't like taking order from anyone, I don't like the way they treat other races…I don't like how they treat people that were weaker than them….I despise such act…for that, I rather create a place of my own than joining all those nations…".
By this time Mina, Bina, Andrea and Rafaela were already in trance, As for Elijah I can see her fanatical eyes burns in passions.
"I wanted to create a place were people of all the race can walk around happily, I want all people to be treated humanely regardless of their caste…beside, I kinda like seeing various races…don't you all want to see such scene, where people of all races and gender live peacefully and happy…..I know it's seems impossible….but I honestly think we can achieve it…".
My reasons was fairly simple one, Although the plan was vastly off track than my original plan. But why not, instead of taking a risk of depending on some nations in this warring medieval era, why not build a Stable nation and take the opportunity and risk into my own hands. Looking at the state of all the nations in Fantasma I believe none of them can handle modern weaponry in my arsenal (Which I planned on buying them later).
"I believe we can Your Highness,…...We all will do our best to help you achieve that dream sire….". (Elijah)
At this point all the women in this room already looks like my devout believer.
"Thank you all of you…..Since you all already inboard, I want all of you to complete this first task….Andrea, I want you to use the ingredients in this ring for your cooking from now on…make sure all of the maidens consume them, this is the list and the effects for each of the ingredients and also how to use them correctly…as for the incoming slaves, just let them eat the normal food…for now…".
I already measured the ingredients enough for 20 people to improved all their status attributes to 1.0. the 20 maidens, is my main focus as all of them already loyal to me, and I can utilize them as I see fit.
"This is...Tough Nuts!!, Muscle Deer Meat!!…Your Highness..all this is a Miracle Food!…there's so many of it!!….Your Highness….Are you sure, you want to use this on us?..". (Andrea)
The moment she laid her eyes on the list, Andrea was shocked by the content. Elijah, Bina and Rafaela were also shocked by what they heard, looking at their reactions I Know that the ingredients was definitely rare, But I never knew they were called Miracle food.
"Yes I'm sure…Use it, make sure to follow the measurement and instruction in that paper….".
"Yes Your Excellency…". (Andrea)
"Good, Next Bina….Here, I want you to make sure all maidens except Elijah to follow this training regime….this will be hard, but if you succeed, then all the maidens will be stronger as any High Human soldier back in my time..".
"it will be done your Excellency..". (Bina)
Bina was a warrior and a Orc, hearing that this set of training will enhance their strength, she immediately show excitement. The training regime I gave her was fairly a basic one, push up, Sit ups, jumping jack, squat, and Running. But instead of fixed set repetition I increase the repetitions by 100 times per week. I'm sure by the end of this training Regime all of the maidens will have a physique of a special forces soldier.
"Rafaela you will be in charge of making sure that all the maidens always healthy, and fit to serve…..later, I will grab something that will help you in that area, as well as teaching you some of my medical skills..".
Rafaela nodded at me, Actually for now I have no way to help or teach her, since I don't have any teaching material or medical apparatus. I have to leave it to her for now and have her use the healing magic and potions as she see fits.
"Elijah and Mina…I want you to collect of the maidens and the incoming slaves informations in this form….also I want all the maidens will be able to read and write Fantasma language, Keep track of all maidens that performance..document everything, Elijah you will be in charge of making sure all operations running smoothly, Mina you will be helping her…..this is the schedule, and this is the format on how you will be documented everything…".
I handed Elijah the everyday schedule and guidelines and documentations format.
"We wont let you down your Excellency..". (Elijah & Mina)
"Listen up, for the next 2 weeks all of you will be following the schedule I gave just now, by the end of 2 weeks I will be judging the result myself...if the maidens still the same as now..all of you will be reprimand as I see fit, and you will be demoted from your positions…Understood?!".
'"Yes Your Excellency!!.."'. (All)
Everybody love power and status, even though right now all of the were just my slaves, but amongst the Maidens they were the only one who was given the authority by me, surely they don't want to lose that privileges. Hearing that they will be judged by m,e all of them fired up by it and determined to do their best.
[It Seems the clock already start moving…Anyway don't worry about them too mush Sir….I'm Sure they will do just fine…By the way are you planning to go back to Earth sir?…]. (T.A.S)
"Yeah….as soon as finish the detailed guide line for them….I got a lot to do now....Well, I'm sure this will be fun…heheheheh"
