Things started to move fast in the Demon lands. For the first couple of days, I was wrapped up in discussions with various races of the Demon lands. I went to each representative that came to me. I was startled at the responses I was receiving. There was a consensus of how hated my predecessor was. Everyone seemed genuinely happy that he was going. The Succubi wanted his blood, though. They constantly contacted me for inditing him in fraud and mal business practices. His laundering of gold and various other things. This hate was worrying.
I started more and more to read through the library to look through records. Tina had set up a shop to make gold, selling mechanical parts and devices to the surrounding population. Mally told me she took a trip since she was back home to visit her school and family. I was surprised at that and kissed her as she left. She was coming back. Otherwise, I would have to go find her. She went to the Illusionist's Wizard tower of the succubi. So I knew where she went if I needed to find her. Rose started up more businesses starting to grow her empire.
Four days in and I met up with the Nephilim in a meeting with a male and female. They looked like humans with black wings. They were a race that was natural wind users. Most of their young excelled in that type of magic. This didn't mean that they couldn't use others. They just had a more natural inclination to it.
I sat across from the two of them in the meeting room. The woman Nephilim had a large set of beautiful black wings on her back. She and the man spread them behind the couch. I smiled at her sharp face with a large grin. She was attractive in a forceful way. Her breasts were small, and her body dainty. Her overall impression was more commanding. The man was almost the same. The sharp angles on his face made him seem fierce despite his more dainty body type.
I had been going over negotiations with them on some trade between the bunny-kin and a potion one of the wizard alchemists back home came up with. "Look, I can tell you that the new wind enhancement potion is priced fairly. The high cost comes from transportation. The land route we have to the capital and across most cities in the Demon lands is not direct. The water routes are becoming more and more unstable, making our merchants pick safer land options. I can't force the merchants of my tribes to trade that way. Does that mean one hundred gold is a bit expensive? Frankly, Yes, it is very expensive, but we still need to bring in money." I came back.
"You say the waters are getting worse, but that is not the Nephims fault." The woman spoke up, and I turned to her, looking at her with contempt.
"It doesn't matter whose fault it is. The waters are your responsibility when near your nation. If you cannot defend them to a certain range that trade cant comes in safely, it doesn't matter. I am also saying on our end as well. The number of pirates has been on the upwards trend. This is a lack of policing on both sides. We, the Beast-kin nation and the Demon lands, should quell that. Our nation, though, cannot direct our navies to do that since we are now getting into a war footing with the Empire. This decreases able body C rankers and B rankers to move on ships to quell Pirates. I am flatly telling the truth. Our waters are being protected to defend against attacks on us from foreign armies safely. We are too busy. Our merchants bug us about our lack of policing, but frankly, we cant. You want cheaper goods; you are going to need to do something about it or help us push back the Empire." I leaned back with a serious expression. "We cannot do both. I have learned that our economy is not doing well since our borders keep getting raided by the Empire's citizens for slaves. We cannot allow this to continue. Lowering the prices of goods are not our priority. I know you want more from me, but I can't do more."
"So you're saying that if we want potions from the bunny-kin at a lower rate, we need to do something about one of these two problems." The man said with a thoughtful expression.
