Chapter 3: My kingdom

When I wake up, I was lying in a bed. I saw a pop-up window despite having my eyes close.

Symbiosis completed, All the system data is available.

I am not dead... I was relieved. But I was also excited to know the changes the seed made. So I thought about my status.

When I opened my eyes, I could see I was in my room. And I saw a blonde teenage girl in a maid's uniform looking at me.

"Majesty! You're awake! It has been more than a day since you passed out. A lot of people were concerned about your state. Are you feeling all right? "

She says with a worried voice.

"I'm fine. I'm wonderful... *thinking about status* AhAhAhAh... Thank you, for worrying about me."

"Lord, are you sure you are okay? You are acting in an unconventional way today. I was told that you ate a magic seed. "

" Don't worry, Lea. I was just happy. I don't need anything. You can tell the others I'm fine. "

"Okay, in that case. I'm going to leave you, Your Majesty. Have a good rest. "

After Lea left, I stood up, and I had completely recovered... I felt full of energy. I felt stronger.

I gave a punch to the air, then smiled. I left my room and ran outside. I moved away from the main city immersed in my thoughts to build a more prominent wall and improve the armament of the army. After a while, I started to lose my breath. So I stopped in a small village.

In this little village, I rediscovered the poverty of my kingdom. Some people slept on the floor, others were dead, but nobody even bothered to bury them.

I could hear the voice of a passer-by complaining.

"Damn it! This life sucks. We work all day, and because of the kingdom's taxes we can hardly find anything to live on."

A girl who looks like one of those acquaintances answered him.

" There's nothing we can do about it. We were just not lucky enough to have been born as a nobleman. We still have to try to live on. "

I felt ashamed. While I was enjoying the appearance of the window popping up, I had forgotten the people who live in the poverty of my kingdom.

I turned around and started going home because I didn't have the courage for talking to them.

But I know one thing for sure. I will do what I can to change that!

When I returned to the domain, I directly announced in front of all the nobles.

"I will hold a meeting in front of all my population tomorrow at 3 P.M. "

"But what is the purpose of this meeting? My Lord ?"

" You'll see tomorrow; I won't say another word today about that."

I went straight to my room ignoring their questions, and I spent the rest of my day in my room, making myself ready for that meeting.

Meanwhile, the nobles were still discussing what could be the subject of the meeting.

*********************************************************************************

There were nearly 6000 persons present at the meeting. It was a significant number for a kingdom of only 12.500 persons. They formed a circle around the platform.

I must admit that I was a little stressed to see so many people waiting for my speech.

I started to climb on the platform, I held my back straight, as I gracefully glanced over the crowd in front of me.

And in a loud, lively voice so everyone can hear me. I started talking.

"First I wanted to thank you. Thank you all! Thank you, my people, for having worked so long for my kingdom, for having lived and animated this kingdom for so long."

I took a break from my word to give more importance to my words. The people were surprised at the beginning of the speech I gave.

"Now, as you know. Every day people die whether it is in the battle against the monsters or whether it is because of hunger.

This is the greatest affliction of our kingdom, And I can solve the famine problems when to the battles against the monsters, I can make it much less dangerous for our soldiers. "

I took another break to let the people assimilate the information they received. Of course, most of them were still suspicious that I could solve the problems. But for some, it was already a light of hope.

" As for the army, an investment in the construction of a larger stone wall can repel weak attacks without any losses. And holes to fight the stronger opponents. As far as agriculture is concerned. We need to produce more agricultural tools to increase production."

The people thought I was talking nonsense. Because the kingdom didn't have the money to pay for it.

" Well, The only problem of course. Is the fact that we don't have enough funding to pay the worker to do it despite having the natural resources to do so. That is why I decide that from now on the nobility will only be a title and will no longer have any advantage from it. It will save us enough money to carry out these projects. As far as the management of the kingdom is concerned, anyone educated enough can apply to work for the kingdom. "

For the army and the people. It was good news, plus my speech to reason through their minds. They started clapping with all their strengths.

But for most of the nobility, It was an attack on their way of life — an assault on their dignity.

Although they were unhappy, the nobility couldn't disapprove me after a speech like that in front of such a big, happy crowd.

" Thank you all for listening to me. I wish everyone in my kingdom could prosper. "

With these words, I left with elegance an entire population astonished by what just happened.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Tole POV-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My mother and father died of illness at my youngest age; I had no one to help me.

Even if I was good at it, I was forced to be a thief, I hated it, but I had to. But one day, someone recognizes me while stealing, my life was done. According to the law, he would cut my hand, but that would mean the end of my life since I won't have money to cure it.

Just when I have lost hope in life, I heard a voice

" Hey, Hey !!!!!!!!!! YOU !!!!!! What are you doing that to a poor kid? "

Even if I thought he would rape me, I fastly understood that it was all a misunderstanding. But even so, I was happy to escape death.

But the weirdest is that he was asking me questions that everyone could answer. I first thought he could be dumb. But what happened next prove me wrong.

When the Lord did his speech in front of everyone, I could only admire him.

And at this moment I heard a voice, it was from the Lord.

" Tole, from now on you will be my student and follow me everywhere. I have big plans for you; tomorrow we will learn how to ride horses. Like you I am a total beginner. And, you can call me by my name."

When he said it to me, I Could see him As a father. A family that I didn't have during all those years.

I was trying to hide it. I couldn't help but show my tears.

While seeing me cry. Charles took me in his arms.

"Everything is alright, now. "

" Yes, Thank you, Charles! "

A week later, not so far from here, in the kingdom of Archa.

Archa was a stable country, with a vast army of active soldiers and one of the best economy around. It was a city full of shops, treasures, and beauty.

By looking at his stats, he was proud. The only problem was his charisma due to drinking the high orc's blood. Despite having eight points naturally, he only has five right now.

Because of that he never had success with women.

He was coming out of a brothel. Which was the only way he could have sex without rape.

He began looking into the sky. Slightly regretting drinking the high orc's blood.

"I could have done without that strength and stamina. The loss of charisma is just too much."

But shortly after he said that. He saw a beautiful huge black mass appeared in front of his face in the sky, he didn't recognize it first because it moved fast, but the next second he was spitting fire into the town. It was a Dragon!

He heard the shouting voice of a guard further on.

" RUNNNNNN FOR YOUR LIFE !! A DRAGON IS INVADING THE CITY !! "

He just started running, with all his speed, without looking back.

He could feel the heat of the flame hundreds of feet away. It's at this moment he was happy to have orc blood in his veins.

After running for an hour, he finally reached a forest where he could hide. He was happy not to have died there. At this moment he realized that despite growing stronger. No human could be as powerful as a dragon.

The population went down from 1.000.000 citizens to 50.000 refugees in just a matter of half an hour, The kingdom of Archa cessed to exist. Because of only a single being. Dragon.
