The territory lacked so much that it was only a kingdom in name alone. It didn't have even have a proper governing body yet so there was not really much a spy could steal and the best they could do here would be to monitor the strength of their enemy and good luck to them with how cloaked the emperor here were.
"As you wish"
With that the group ate even though their physiology didn't require such intake of food to sustain them. After that they moved to the throne room in the castle which was rarely used because of the busy nature of the events of past weeks and days. The Throne room featured his now redesigned throne which was no-longer made from concrete but was still firmly rooted to the floor.
The throne pulsed with power and energy, radiated warmth that one could feel deep in their bones. it was clear that the new throne wasn't an ordinary one. The entire throne room gave off a feeling that they had all entered sacred ground. As soon as they got to a certain point, the others stopped following him as Kingsley climbed up to the throne and sat down.
As soon as he did so, he felt a massive change in him as the entire territory came into view this included the realms and all. He could see everything that was his, and for some reason, there was no mental overload instead he could feel an incredibly disturbing amount of calm.
"This is interesting" Kingsley said in confusion when he noticed that his territory had more than tripled in size overnight
Opening his eyes, Kingsley saw the Thrones that we once standing with the others, coming forward and soon there were two of them standing directly behind the throne and on either side of it and another two were standing just below the stairs that led to the throne but in a more spaced manner than the ones behind him.
For the first time since he was announced a king, he actually felt like a true king. his aura began to leak out but in a gentler manner that gave him a clear imposing look whilst on the throne. The emperors stood watching in awe as their master changed from a lord into a king.
"I can't believe I created all of this… hmm, well let's get down to business" Kingsley said as he discarded the view for now to focus on today's course of action
"My lord, the spies?"
"As always, we let them be, this time though I want them followed... they live in this forest too and will eventually become an obstacle in my path so we also need to learn as much as we can about them" Kingsley said calmly
"As you wish"
"Excellent, now on to better things, You two, i hereby dub you Luna and you Solaris" Kingsley said to the fae sisters who began glowing but soon the light show died down
"Thank you, my lord" the sisters said as they bowed
"You're welcome, now yesterday, I realized that our territory had no governing body… we have no one that is in charge of anything and have simply just been going along with it… hence I propose the formation of a council. You all will be a part of this council" Kingsley announced to which the emperors nodded since it wasn't like they could refute the idea
"Excellent, now as my council men, you all have your various responsibilities… Starting from you Viktor, you have being placed in charge of our kingdom's internal affairs" Kingsley declared
"You are in charge of ensuring order, peace, and that our territory runs smoothly in totality, this will include a newly created Police force, a fire service and various other emergency services" kingsley continued
"I will do as you command, my lord" Viktor said as he gave a knight's salute
"Good, Athena, you are now in-charge of the armed forces, our minister of Defence... you will ensure our safety and will lead our territory into greatness"
"I will do my utmost best"
"Excellent, Hestia you are in-charge of the one thing that nobody in this territory can do better than you, you are now our minister of infrastructure in general, you will ensure that no citizen is left without a home and every amenity is up to standard"
"And Solaris, you are for now the minister of agriculture and Luna is our minister of health, you all are required to gather a team that will allow you reach all the realms and make your work easier, the information you all need to perform your duties will be sent to you in due time, I hope you all work together to make our small territory great"
"And finally, Ethan, your species is kind of hard to place but considering your race is known for their fierce intelligence and abundant knowledge, I appoint you our minister of Education… all citizens are required to attend the school lessens"
"Yes, your majesty" they all replied and also gave a bow
With that done, Kingsley felt satisfied. Each of them was given their positions after he had considered their abilities, Viktor had the memories of the past Demon Goblin emperors who he says most dealt with internal problems, Athena was a natural born general, Solaris was given Agriculture simply because well she is the sun personified… Hestia would have been a good fit but she had too many things to do and the Fae realm has incredibly fertile soil and a lot of plants can grow there even if it wasn't their season.
Hestia was given the management of infrastructure simply because she was Hestia, this entire place is her body. Luna was given the minister of heath simply because she and her sister were apparently gods whose mere presence alone brings healing to those around. As for the school, Kingsley just wanted his citizens to learn and research skills that could help grow the territory. The health workers that will come under Luna would also need the school to learn proper procedures.
"I have noticed that the Demon realm doesn't have a lot of fertile soil in it and most plants in it aren't edible so Solaris, if possible, can you deliver food to them in their cities, the farms here definitely can't sustain all of us and Hestia here needs to stop bearing the burden of feeding us all"
"We will see what we can do" Solaris answered
"Excellent and as for the Forest Elves, I have a feeling that their people would come for them soon, their spies have reduced in number so we should be expecting some sort of diplomatic group or an army, either way, we can get to either have a reason to take over their territory or to establish relations with them." Kingsley said since now that his territory had expanded, he could clearly sense the spies sent by whatever Forest Elf colony was out there.
"I assume, we aren't to tell them this"
"Naturally, let them feel welcomed here and if their home country isn't smart while will assimilate them thus reuniting them… in both situations, they win unless their family members are part of the army"
"Ehn… as for the Education, what exactly are my duties" Ethan asked
"It is basically to make their learning process easier; you provide materials they will need and make policies that will allow them learn better"
"Oh... okay then, I will do my best"
With that settled, the group continued discussing all other things that came to mind but Kingsley had already given them their positions and given them a general direction to head in in order to get started so Kingsley could be said to have achieved his aim for today. With the help of the knowledge gained from the Civilisation crystals, they were able to create a system that all of them agreed would work.
A few minutes later, all of them left the throne room leaving Kingsley alone as they went on to try and bring their system to life. Kingsley refused to interfere with however they interpreted the procedure since it was them that will be running the territory from now on whilst he simply stays behind the scenes.
"Now, why exactly did my territory suddenly increase?" Kingsley asked as he finally turned his attention to the weird situation he was in
He knew he hadn't received any sort of notification that told him that someone had surrendered to him nor did he get anyone that said that he had leveled up so he didn't understand what was going on. He wouldn't be surprised that he leveled up though.
If he was just a normal lord and a lord out there was trading every single troop someone offered him with SSS-rank troops then he would surely surrender to that person after all it was common sense but what he didn't understand though was when and how he wasn't notified about it.
"Oh yeah, that's true, that room still exists"
Kingsley slapped his forehead in realization, he had once created a room that would automatically create a clone of him if anyone surrendered to him. It helped him save time and a lot of lives during the during the event but he had completely forgotten about it after that since he didn't have anyone surrendering to him anymore but now it seemed that the surrender requests were all accepted by the clones.
"Level 50!!" Kingsley shouted in shock when he opened his status window
