Sophia Demiurge

Chapter 79: Cut from the Same Cloth

Arachne who is quite well dressed is crying in her heart because of how restricted she feels when she dons any kind of clothing, being intelligent is one thing, but some eccentrism will never leave a person's body no matter what attainment she reached in her life, especially when it was rooted in their upbringing, in Sophia's case she still eats dry food bare-handed despite being an illustrious figure all in her two lives and Arachne's near if not Sophia level biological genius will not stop her from being a default exhibitionist.

"Can I take off my clothes?"

Arachne looked at Sophia, wriggling her whole body left and right as if she was a snake rather than a spider, Eleanor who had been staring at her wife all this time, was bothered by something about Sophia, and when she saw the silent nod of hers and her seemingly unconscious lean forward as well as the gulp that was visible on her throat, Eleanor finally confirmed her guesses.

_Well, that sucks for me._

She thought so to herself and shook her head, as one of the earliest children of a womanizer like Urduja, Eleanor had observed her mother up close and because of this, she knew a "playgirl" when she saw one, and the moment she got to look at Sophia in a closer distance than ever, she immediately concluded that her wife and her mother are cut from the same cloth.

As Arachne finally finished her stripping, Sophia returned to normal, Eleanor continued to look at her in silence with a single thought on her mind, being one of the lovers of a "playgirl" sure sucks, but it is more jarring seeing your wife punishing herself by restraining the seemingly sole enjoyment her body wants to enjoy.

Surely, nothing about being a monarch is euphoric, right?

[Sophia's POV]

Before ending the meeting with Luna, I also sent a Tikbalang to Indio to serve as the temporary Prime Minister, she agreed immediately, most probably because of emotions, but anyway, after which, I turned off the connection between us and put down the cork and put it in one of my pockets, I then sighed.

[Well she is not very smart, politically speaking.]

Yes, that, or she doesn't care about politics at all like the Luna I know.

[She probably took up a political position like the unofficial leader of the state of Indio so that her commands would be absolute, and as far as the span of her Rebellion goes, all of her commands are right.]

Yup, I can see that when she agreed to not build cities and build camps instead because cities need a proper running economic line to properly function and that takes a large amount of investment, while a military base just needs soldiers. In terms of funds, it's more convenient.

Well, she is Luna alright, even her temper is Luna (Search: Luna Temper it is famous here, historically), but anyway, her not-so-good political acumen made this negotiation smooth and silky, so I just have to let time do its work, right now I have to establish a proper monetary system and then the economy. For the monetary system, because this is a fantasy world and as how Eleanor explained it to me, the world of the Pentateuch in general uses gold, silver, and copper as their currency and the ruler's face will be the only thing that differentiates a gold from a Kingdom to a gold from another Kingdom.

"Say Arachne, do we have any reservoir of golds, silvers, and coppers in here? We need them to set up the privatization and economic efforts you see."

For an economy to work properly, it is not ideal for the government to control all of the resources and then redistribute them to the people, the people should be the ones to acquire their resources by doing work or creating work through business, the only thing the government should control are all the lands in the kingdom and some specified industries beforehand, only then that the state will be able to start its economy.
