The ship neared its destination with every second as the sun fell upon the deck. I watched as two Bunny-kin Males took the bitch Elf was spit-roasted between them. The rest of the sailors were working on the deck, ignoring the scene that had become normal over the days of sailing.

After finding out what was happening, Rose started to grow closer to us again. I wish I knew what was happening beforehand so that this would not have happened in the first place. I forgave myself quickly as I knew nothing could change the past. Rose needed more time to heal from the wounds of the past... I looked out into the ocean as I had done so many times and decided it was time to talk to Rose about what I wanted to talk about with her before.

I jumped off the sail and floated the last couple of inches to the ground. I was getting better at falling now and smiled to myself as I walked into the captain's cabin to Rose, who was looking at some sheet of paper. I looked it over and noticed a sheet of prices of various goods. She was studying it hard and was deep in thought as I made myself known. "Rose, Is this a good time." She looked up, and her frown changed into a smile as she saw my face.

"Why wouldn't it be? I always love talking to my Lover!" She exclaimed. I smiled back with a fond smile.

"This isn't about sex but a larger problem that I found with my Tribe and nation..." I trailed off, and Rose changed the look on her face. She was no longer a lover but a serious businesswoman smelling an opportunity. That was more the reaction I was looking for.

"Rose, I know you have capital that you can work with, so I know you can sustain losses temporarily to reap future profits. I have gold inflow, and I could do this temporarily or even permanently as long as I buckle down as an Alchemist and Enchanter. I don't have the time to do that, so I need a businesswoman such as yourself since I cant tap into taxes the Silvermoon tower has..." I started to explain myself when she cut in.

"Chelsea... I understand. Ask, and we can talk about it and come to a deal. You may be my lover, but when it comes to business, it becomes something different. If I don't think I can make money off of it or something worth more than gold later, I will say no..." She finished, and I sighed.

"Fair enough..." I took a deep breath. "I need you to start an Education center..." Her eyes widened. "I need schools all over our tribes. I need each kid to have proper education for the sake of my nation. I need to start it myself since my father doesn't want to start it himself..." I finished the start, and Rose was looking at me, surprised.

"Chelsea... you know you're asking a lot here. Most information you want to teach is in the Powerful hands, and you want to hand that to the commoners? Are you looking to be overthrown? Lose your power over the masses in this age?" She asked bac seriously.

"Why would they overthrow me just because they have an education, Rose? Imagine a nation where every person knows more, making them superior to other countries, where everyone has a chance to learn to control Mana. Rage or energy? If they are not talented, they don't go up further. But imagine a commoner, A-rank powerhouse! If we bring them up properly and indoctrinate them with national pride from a young age... We would be a nation no one would fuck with. That would bring more researchers and talent. More people learning to become Powerhouses in our nation means more A-Rank powerhouses in our control. We are negligent not to be doing this.

"Knowledge is power, but Ignorance is the greatest sin, Rose. We should strive to have every citizen be educated. This is what I want to ask you to build Rose. An Academy. I want an institution like they have in the Kingdom of Arlin. There is a reason they have so many powerhouses, Rose. Anyone talented enough will get into the Academy Rose. You will own that Academy, and we can turn it into a Wizards paradise. We can teach Swordsmen, Assassins, Beast tamers. The options are open to us, Rose. This will not earn you Gold Rose... This will earn you a reputation and Fame. Every student will be grateful to you as well... We can set up scholarships for the poor talents who can't afford tuition and fleece the Nobility to send their kids there. This is another way to earn loyalty and gratitude towards yourself, Rose. You will become a powerhouse as a merchant who has National power backing them up from gratitude alone. Or you can make a contract on that they have to be employed to you. There are many things and power you can get from this Rose. If I had the Constant flow of Gold that I could do this myself, I would. My Father wouldn't fund me... I hate to say it since this would actually flow a lot of power out of my nation's hands into yours. But I need this now, Rose. I need this before the war... I need my name on it as well. I can't have only Military Achievements to my name when I come back. I need something that lets the Citizens see something in their life becoming better." I finished looking into her eyes, showing my seriousness.
