With only two days before Sahara wanted to teleport back to Felix, to take him to the Auction house, Sahara fell asleep even before dinner in total exhaustion!

Matthew could only watch over her as he continued to go through as many people as he could and see if any of them understood the reason to becoming a Minister…Or showed a potential in any other type of ‘career’. He wasn’t used to looking at these…Jobs as ‘careers’ but Sahara mentioned that people are people and we all work, so why should there be a difference between a farmer and a minister. They are both important jobs…

There were people who would look after children, so he had to write down something about obtaining an orphanage, then there were people who had a great technique in cooking, but no restaurant.

Even if he still wasn’t sure about his own opinion yet, he took up the idea of it and started to think of each criterion for each ‘career’ and it seemed easier to differentiate between them.

Some people were bad at writing but held a great potential in military aspects. Even if they didn’t become the leader of the future army of Purple Haven, that person shows potential to be seen in high regard. There were those who wrote well but did not say what Sahara wanted in the way of being good for being beside the emperor, so Matthew thought that this person could be better suited as a teacher, and wrote a note stating this and to find out how much more they may know about the basics of writing, history and English.

Many of them held potential, but the potential was spread out into groups of ‘careers’ and Matthew was happy to announce that the candidates for Ministers had been able to be dropped from seven hundred people, down to two hundred.

Being a Prince and having been in court with his Emperor Father, Matthew was quite grateful now, as he knew of quite a lot of types of ‘careers’ and it helped tremendously!

He even considered a couple of the people to be the start of a secret lot of people to protect the future Purple Haven Emperor…

What had surprised Matthew even more, was that his lovely wife had already thought about how to introduce Sum back into Purple Haven. Of course, he hadn’t been here before her, and she had thought a few times about this in the last six months.

Since the Auction House, Sahara had found that her idea might not be as bad as she had originally thought. Now that she was most likely going to get some Sum from selling pills, she wanted to introduce Sum back, by giving everyone an equal share at the same time. After that, it would be up to the people themselves to provide for the future and spend it how they wished.

At first, months ago, this wasn’t a great idea because that would mean a desperately, large amount of Sum and a large number of ore that Sum is used with…

But, now that she may get an income from selling pills, and not knowing what she would spend her Sum on anyway, she was willing to think that Purple Haven was more important. That, later, when the future Emperor has come and completely taken control once again, she will then perhaps think more thoroughly on saving for herself instead.

Already, she has wondered if she should give the Auction House more than one pill to sell, wanting to get enough Sum to buy all the ore needed and enough to place enough Sum in each one, for the people who were to receive them…Nonetheless, the ‘idea’ was still just that at the moment and may not even turn out the way the new emperor wanted anyway…

…It was just an idea…

Matthew was surprised even more, that she had ideas on how to give out land once again…Of course, she had only written ideas, as she hoped that Prince Seth and his new Ministers would work this out themselves, but nonetheless, the information will be forwarded to the Future Emperor…

Mostly, her idea still formed across the fact of giving people an equal share. A few ‘lands’ had been stated as ‘prosperous’ and a few lands were quite ‘shabby’, and she was unsure on what to do with those, but having seen quite a few places that looked equal from ‘above’, she was sure half the population should be able to have the same as many others…

Land had not been given to anyone yet, even land that was already apparently owned was now not owned, so Sahara needed to make sure that when land is taken, it is given to the right people. Again, it was just an idea as…Some people still love their birth home and probably want it back, so what was their to do about that? Ultimately, Sahara just wanted to give less things for these people to differentiate each other from. If they were equals in living and in currency, how were they going to bully each other in those aspects…Or would it not work anyway?

She didn’t want people to take a good piece of land for selfish reasons, when another could be there and provide better for it…Yet, who was she to do all this! Who was anyone to do anything like this!

It all gave Sahara a headache and made her wish to just abolish everything so that there were no homes for anybody!

…There was just so much to consider! And so many people to keep at bay!

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

This was just another thing that people hadn’t liked her doing, yet another reason that she had blocked cultivation bases and state plainly that Purple Haven had to start from scratch, and that they had best accept it…

She knew humans weren’t very good with such big changes, but having a Haven fall as far as it had, things had to go back to the beginning, and it’s best to keep everyone in mind, instead of just a few…

Luckily…Nothing bad has happened as of yet…But…

Matthew couldn’t help but get a bad feeling about some of the people here, especially with those threats on the parchments that were now burnt…Perhaps he should have kept them as evidence, instead of destroying them…

The next day, Sahara demanded five of the people that Matthew personally approved of, for becoming Ministers, and read the contents herself. Afterwards, she wrote a letter and sent a copy of the ‘approved’ parchments off to Prince Seth himself and told him to start getting prepared for his step into becoming the future Emperor. Her letter stated everything that she was doing, holding nothing back, and that she was willing to hold or even stop something if he didn’t like it. That she was only here to help and had no intention to even stay at Purple Haven long term, so that he must be prepared to get his people and himself to take over from what has been started.

Of course, Prince Seth, being the person that he was, was stunned to receive such news. He had been put away in seclusion for so long and now he was…Going to be the emperor…A…Very busy Emperor…

He knew of it, and even His Majesty the Emperor of Green Haven had stated it at least once before, that he was indeed the next sovereign of Purple Haven, but…It was real now! All the situations of his Haven were in front of him…

In about a month, he will be crowned and be known as ‘The Emperor of Purple Haven’…

His subordinates were ecstatic! And his Princess seemed genuinely happy…Especially since she will even give birth to their first child in their own Haven.

After a good hour, Prince Seth hardened up and seemed to understand his duty once again.

Yes! I’m going to take good care of my people!

Taking his Princess’s hand, he felt even better. Looking outside, his loyal companions were close by, then there was Green Haven men not too far away…He will do what he can to repay everything back!

Becoming so serious, that a day passed by easily, Prince Seth went through the parchments that were sent to him and he looked towards the future.

What can they provide for my Haven?

Of course, for an emperor, this was just the beginning. He still had to endure through his people overcoming this ordeal and then get some normal civilized living come back. Then, with all this, he’d may have to deal with the normal lonely life of an emperor, who probably won’t be able to completely trust anyone by his side…

A lot of big days will be coming up for Prince Seth…

Sahara came up with material for the kids to paint on. It was more of a 21st century Earth material and it was probably as big as football field…Or two!

She gave them purple paint…Then they wanted red, then blue, then they wanted green…So she gave them yellow…

It’s so much fun to confuse kids, only to have them go wide eyed at getting what they had wanted, even though it was a completely different color!

Gotta love the primary colors!

After an hour, she filled up the red, blue and yellow big buckets of paint and just let them do whatever they wanted. The ‘flag’ was huge, so they could be doing this for hours…Or perhaps days! Strangely, the flag that Sahara had pictured in her mind…Was not the one being created…

The kids seemed to have gone a bit crazy with the paint and some of the material had to be fixed, because of them being a little too rough with it…But, they had smiles on their faces and paint on their hands, feet and faces…They had never looked so cute to Sahara…Their rough looking faces were nowhere to be found!

The flag…Had purple but wasn’t completely purple…It was more of a mess of colors…The only thing Sahara made certain of, was that the words of ‘Welcome home, Prince Seth’ could be read properly!

Actually, Sahara felt like a pretty good baby sitter on this day! Watching the kids was as easy as…Drinking tea…Yeah…

Anyway, the people who usually watched the kids, half of them went for a swim while they could, and the other half helped the pregnant woman, who seemed to make ‘paint’ come out of nowhere!

After they were finished for the day, Sahara made a long metal pole, attaching the ‘flag’ first, then made it grow very long. It wasn’t like they couldn’t bring it back down if they wanted to paint some more, but letting it dry, while it was waving so high, looked really awesome!

The next day, Sahara had to do some tests. Since she got and made some more parchments, Steven and Matthew were to do the ‘writing and math tests’ and she went to the people who seemed to think that they had ‘ideas’.

The writing test was simple, as Sahara had just written a few verses of rules that they should know about anyway and all they had to do was to elaborate on them, pretty much write down what they thought it meant in their own words. Doing this kind of ‘test’ reminded her of the historical drama’s that she had seen in her past life, something that sounded like confusism…Confushism…Confushianism…

Whatever…Something like that…

Her memories of the past weren’t the best anymore, now that she had lived here for over a decade and was even happier now that Matthew was always by her side. So, even though she remembered watching drama’s, the plot lines or the characters were dimmed, and she could barely remember any titles of the shows…

The math was a little harder, as she couldn’t write a whole heap of math questions on a whole heap of pages, like that of Earth, so again, she had a big parchment stating some math questions, that Matthew had helped with as well.

Both the writing and math questions get harder and harder, but it should be completed within a few hours, yet, if people know how to do it fluently, they could be finished within an hour…

Again, as the test goes on, they wanted to know how much they knew and how much they understood, to see what kind of person they were and what they could potentially achieve…

But, where Sahara was going, wasn’t a silent heap of men putting brushes to parchments…In fact, quite a few of the people in her ‘test’, if Matthew would notice, were the untrustful questioners from when they were talking about Prince Seth’s return to Purple Haven.

…Upon walking onto the field…Which was not glowing, because the sun was behind some clouds, Sahara still hadn’t much of an idea on how she was going to get their ideas or not…She had no parchment or brushes…She just had words! And…There was at least two to three hundred…Maybe four hundred…Men…Here…

With just her…Sahara…A pregnant woman!

This was a little scary to her…Not because she was surrounded by hot, blooded males…But because she wasn’t completely sure how she was going to do this yet!

Maybe, I should have gotten Matthew to come with me…

Sahara stood out before the crowd of men and looked at them silently…

What am I going to do!?
