Lord Of The Eastern Castle

Influence The Richards

Footsteps could be heard walking towards a door.

Knock.

Knock.

"You may enter."

A woman wearing a maid outfit entered the room, she made a slight bow. She was Lydia, a woman of tall stature. The same maid who accompanied Ryan to this kingdom.

"Your Highness, the leaders of the noble families have arrived have arrived."

Ryan stood up from his chair.

"Show me the way."

He followed behind Lydia.

So yeah this is it. Here comes my confrontation with the Nobility. I am nervous about this. It's probably because with the poor I knew I could suppress them and kill them off but in the case of the Rich it wouldn't be as easy. The other families would not stay silent about this. I will be telling them about the implementation of the new policy, but I need to phrase it such that it is not for the benefit of the poor but for the benefit of the rich.

"Have all the three families arrived?"

"Yes, all the three have arrived. The Patriarch of the Richard family has brought his daughter along with him while the Patriarch of the Mines family has brought his son."

"I see."

I don't see a reason for the Richards to send their daughter here. There must be ulterior motives behind this, he also has an elder son who he could've brought. I believe it is possible that the Patriarch would want his daughter to get married to me. I don't see a problem with that, as long as all the assets and resources stay within my control that's all that matters.

"Why do you think the Patriarchs brought their children?"

"It's mostly so their descendants get a hang of the political situation since they will be handling the family in the coming future."

"It does make sense, thank you for enlightening me, Your Majesty."

"Don't act so dumb Lydia, I know you're much smarter than that."

Lydia was a bit taken aback by this comment. She didn't think she was much different from an average human. However, Ryan had seen her for who she was. Her skills. It came naturally to Lydia, so she thought any other person would think similarly. She was also well-engaged with all the important information of the kingdom.

Ryan and Lydia had reached the discussion hall, a conference room where all the meetings took place.

"After you, Your Majesty."

She opened the door and gestured for Ryan to move in.

The room was a huge hall with a round table in the center, and chairs all around it. There were a total of 12 chairs. 5 of them were occupied.

Seeing that Ryan had entered the room, the 5 people sitting stood up impromptly.

"You may be seated."

Ryan moved toward one of the red chairs which was different from the other signifying that it was for the King.

Lydia followed behind and quickly pulled the chair back allowing Ryan to sit on it. Ryan had practiced how to make every movement as elegant as possible.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty on becoming a Leader of this Kingdom. I am the Patriarch Of Richard's family."

The man had white hair and blue eyes. His voice was masculine and he sounded humble with each word he said. He then pointed towards a girl sitting next to him.
