Wind of change

As I stood before the council, I caught Elmacia's gaze and she smiled. Damn, this woman is beautiful.

Cough, cough. "Good day, ladies. You all look beautiful today." No one responded.

I continued with a kind smile, "Thank you for this opportunity. If you have questions, please ask at the end of the presentation. First, I entered the sealed mithril mine, which has turned into a dungeon with ten deep floors. Here is the structure of the dungeon and the monsters that inhabit it, ranked according to their strengths." The beautiful lady who guided us inside approached me, and I handed her papers containing the map of the dungeon and a list of monsters, ranked from F to S.

"Are you expecting us to believe this nonsense?" one of the elders interrupted. Elmacia gave her a look that said, "Shut up."

I continued, "As you all know, if this dungeon is left alone, monsters will break through and harm civilians. However, the queen and major families have devised a plan to deal with this threat." I could see some of them were now hooked.

"Our plan is to create a large military force divided into brigades: Green, Blue, Light Blue, Purple, Gold, Platinum, White, Black, Brown, and Navy. Here are the details:

1. **Green Blazers: Monster Subjugation**

- The largest brigade, focused solely on monster subjugation and dungeon diving.

- Comprised of revolution members and veteran soldiers with battle experience.

- Rankings from F to S: Recruits (F rank) will not dive into deeper floors, progressing to S rank for experts.

- Leaders from major families initially, but strong recruits can become commanders, regardless of their race.

2. **Blue Blazers: Law Enforcement**

- Headquartered in the capital with branches across the country.

- Patrol streets day and night, maintaining law and order.

- Responsible for catching criminals and preventing crime.

3. **Light Blue Blazers: Internal Affairs**

- Tasked with investigating Blue Blazers to prevent corruption and abuse of power.

- Ensure law enforcement remains just and fair.

4. **Purple Blazers: Royal Army**

- The elite military force protecting the royal family and the capital.

- Trained for high-level defense and strategic operations.

5. **White Blazers: Combat Healers**

- Healers capable of fighting, assisting Green Blazers in dungeons and on battlefields during wars.

- Provide medical support and combat aid.

6. **Black Blazers: Intelligence Gathering**

- Focus on collecting information domestically and internationally.

- Monitor potential threats and gather crucial intelligence.

7. **Navy Blazers: Naval Defense**

- Guard against maritime threats and support expeditions.

- Ensure the security of our seas and coastal areas.

8. **Gold Blazers: Economic Development**

- Improve the economy by ensuring fair trade and prices.

- Monitor and regulate economic activities to benefit civilians.

9. **Platinum Blazers: Economic Oversight**

- Investigate Gold Blazers to prevent corruption and unfair practices.

- Ensure economic decisions are transparent and just.

10. **Brown Blazers: Border Control**

- Manage and secure the country’s borders.

- Prevent unauthorized entries and maintain border integrity.

Every citizen will be allowed to join any brigade they desire. We will also create more jobs to boost our economy. The royal family will expand blacksmithing and crafting stores, and citizens will be encouraged to open their own businesses."

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

What did I say wrong? Why do most of them look shocked?

I continued to explain the education system discussed with the major families. "Lilith Eclipse will be the Minister of Basic Education, Iris Vermillion the Minister of Higher Education, and Ademina Adams the Minister of Finance. Circle City will merge with Rize and be called the capital of... Elfan." Wait, what did I just read? This must be Leona's doing.

"Vivia Elrak will be the Minister of Agriculture, and Leonie Aceso the Minister of Health. Anyone found using their family name to intimidate, threaten, or gain a position will be punished."

I had to promise these family heads positions, as not everyone would easily accept the reduction from 16,000 soldiers to 5,000.

"We also request to change the age of adulthood from 50 to 22 years. This will allow learners who took student loans to start working sooner and pay off their debt, boosting our economy. Lastly, here is the revised version of the laws." I handed the papers to the lady to distribute.

### Elven Charter of Equality

These revised laws promote fairness, equality, and mutual respect among all elves, fostering a harmonious and inclusive society.

"The council of elders shall transform into the Supreme Court of Justice. The Supreme Elder will be the Minister of Justice. We will build courts all over the country and elders will be judges, of course, they will judge according to the laws set by the royal family. Finally, her highness, Queen Leona Aceso, will be in charge of the military, including all brigades, and all ministers will have to report to her. Any changes will be communicated to the elders. You have two days to discuss and provide feedback. Thank you."

Why is nobody clapping? Did time stop? Why are they frozen? It doesn't take a genius to realize that Leona Aceso has stripped the noble families of power and unified the country under one government, the royal family. I am sure these old hags have already realized it.

"We don't need two days to decide, and we reject the laws and educational systems. The brigades, maybe?" one of the elders replies.

"How dare you give us work. We are elders, the mouthpiece of the goddess," another elder interrupts.

So this old hag doesn't want to work?

"If the elders do not want to work, it's okay, however, monetary support the elders received from the palace will be halted," Elfan declares.

If they won't work, they won't eat, I thought to myself, watching an elder stand and hurl a chair toward me. Diplomacy is over. If they want a fight, they will get one. These reforms will happen, whether they like it or not.
