Volume 3 Chapter 132 - Three orders (1/2)

Today was a rare warm winter day, however Lampuri Thirteenth didn’t do the same thing as usual, choosing to enjoy the sun in the back garden. Rather he was covered in a thick blanket as he laid on the three layered bed, slowly going over the documents in his hands.

Dema on the side saw Lampuri Thirteenth’s face that was so pale that it almost didn’t have any blood in them and a deeply worried look appeared in his eyes. He wanted to tell Lampuri Thirteenth to rest, but he couldn’t say a single thing when he opened his mouth and just made the Magic Lamp in the room brighter, making it easier for Lampuri Thirteenth to see.

“Hei, this kid Eric, he really has a bunch of pigs.” Lampuri Thirteenth had finished reading the document in his hand and gave a cold laugh. He turned over to Dema, “Dema, what has Seveni been doing in the past few days?”

Dema was surprised, but he quickly answered after thinking about it, “Her highness has been in Banta City, working on renovating Banta City. The canal between the Sandy River and the Rum River has finally been finished during this time and she personally went to preside over the ceremony.”

Lampuri Thirteenth gave a slight nod, “Banta City’s development really is good. If all the cities in the kingdom can be as careless as Banta City, how would I need to worry about the threat of the Sack Kingdom.”

Dema hesitated a bit before carefully saying, “Your majesty, to be honest, although the greatest contributor to Banta City’s development is the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, if it wasn’t for her highness supporting them, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t have developed so smoothly.”

“What? You want to remind me of Seveni’s excellent eyes?” Lampuri Thirteenth said with a faint smile.

“Your majesty is wise, you can definitely see it.” Dema quickly lowered his head.

Lampuri Thirteenth laughed, “I know what you are thinking, but Dema, you should know. Even if I want to appoint Seveni as my successor, there would be much opposition. You should also know what those fellows would be opposing.”

Dema said with a bitter smile, “It’s because his highness guarantees their benefits while her highness cares more about the kingdom’s benefits and improving the living conditions of the citizens.”

“So…..I have to give Seveni enough time and let her become strong, only she…..”

Lampuri Thirteenth suddenly gave a strong cough.

Dema quickly brought a cup of warm water over.

Lampuri Thirteenth took two sips before knitting his brows. He pointed at the cabinet in front of his bed.

“Bring that over.”

Dema was surprised, “Your majesty, you have to eat less of that thing, your body…..”

Lampuri Thirteenth glared at him and Dema obediently went to the cabinet. He took out a small jar from inside and took out a small red pill from that.

Taking the pill from Dema’s hand, Lampuri Thirteenth revealed a self-deprecating smile. He coughed again and knit his brows before swallowing the pill with the water in his hand.

After a while, a red flush came back to Lampuri Thirteenth’s face. He instantly became much more spirited and he even stopped coughing.

Dema saw the restored Lampuri Thirteenth and the worry in his eyes became thicker.

Lampuri Thirteenth closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were glowing like he had returned to the prime of his life several years ago. He became the king that everyone worshipped in the kingdom.

“Dema, bring me pen and paper, I’ll send three royal decrees.”

“First, order the third regiment of the royal army to Sowell City and heavily guard the northern border, make sure the Sack Kingdom can’t invade southward. After the third regiment has entered Sowell City, they will be controlled by Sowell City and will wear their local armaments.”

Hearing this first order Dema’s eyelids jumped up.

With this order, it turned the third regiment into special city guards of Sowell City.

The third regiment wasn’t only controlled by Sowell City in name, they also bore their armaments, which meant that Sowell City would have a firm grasp over them.

Count Sean was known as an astute City Lord, so how could he not understand his majesty’s meaning. He would firmly hold the third army in his hands.

“Second, order the Royal Parliament to conduct the royal status audit for Eric, Seveni, and Durant. I, as the Lampuri Kingdom’s king, officially grant them titles as the princes and princess, giving them their full rights.”

[TL Note: I know that the second prince’s name changed, but that’s how it is in the raw.]

Hearing this second order, Dema tightly knit his brows.

Although the three royal children had the identity of royal children, that was only in name. Before the Royal Parliament’s official audit, they only had the name and didn’t have the rights.

For example, a true prince could participate in the Royal Parliament. Before they officially received their titles, they wouldn’t be able to officially participate in the Royal Parliament.

And among the numerous rights, the most important one was that before they were received their official title, although the three royal children had guards, these guards belonged to his majesty in name. It was his majesty who sent them to protect the safety of his children.
