WARNING: This chapter might gross out a few people. This chapter depicts an aspect of life that many people will find disgusting. ... From all over the city, through the dark stone tunnels built underneath the city, gallons of wastewater mixed in with solid waste gather at the bottom of a stone pool, unable to move further down to the next tunnel because of a mechanical lid, blocking any flow. The workers were bribed to work inside a stone building reeking of vomit, dirt, urine, and shit. The workers…-

On the grass ground of the palace fields, two rail lines of wrought iron were nailed on top of wooden planks, situating on top of lots of rough, sharp-edged stones the king likes to call 'track ballast'. On the side, was a mountain of coal, with buckets and shovels lying around to help bring them near. Next to the coal, were wooden planks and wooden crates, labeled and filled with all sorts of crude metal parts. On some of the crates, a small box filled with tools was present. There were also buckets…

It took two days for the stone mason to form a proper blueprint for the sewer system that Kant had requested. Like other sewage systems, it will follow a branch-like pattern, with a few main tunnels, connected to smaller tunnels. With that, they calculated the number of materials they would need and sent a letter to the respective manufacturers. Over the last month, a few firms were popping up in the city, especially construction material companies, who were betting their fortunes on the city growing…

Rose soon arrived back in the city of Vallina, victorious and prideful. Cheers erupted in the city as what they perceived as an overwhelming victory against the north and the heretic church. A grand celebration was arranged in order to mark the day of their victory, in which Rose immediately gave a speech above the balcony. She announced the death and the defeat of her enemies, as well as an inspirational speech about how they would move on into the future. It was rather similar to Kant's speech, with…

In a fancy white room, there was a large wooden table, surrounded by chairs on all sides, and a chandelier at the top. Occupying most of the chairs, were people of varying experiences as stone masons. The best the city had to offer. There were more, of course, but a lot of others were busy with other projects. These stone masons were gathered here to discuss plans to help build and expand the existing sewer system of the city, built since the city itself was first founded. To the city of Hoverdam,…

Alan had worked hard to make sure that everything was perfect. He set up the area where Kant would speak above, as well as informing every single citizen of the date the speech was about to take. To make sure that they would all be able to make it, a few businesses had to temporarily have to close to make room for a large number of people that would visit. The speech took hold on the 22nd of Nummum in the morning, as Alan had promised Howard he would do so. The people gathered around in the town square…

After receiving the message, Alan made sure to wake up and dress up early in the morning. With his new job in place, he hoped to live here for a few years. After wearing his acorn gray suit, he was ready to go. Alan had rented a place in the downtown area. Although it was very expensive, the amount of pay he would receive would be nothing. He made sure to go down to the bathhouse in the morning before heading straight over to the castle. Once he arrived at the gates, he was told that his majesty would…

With Arjun's death at Kant's own hands, he had to choose a new assistant minister to replace him, as Silverstone would not do. Silvester, as Kant put him, would be better off in a different area of expertise, which Kant already had an idea of. For a new assistant minister, he would need someone loyal, who will listen to his orders, and act appropriately. However, he would need someone confident, and will politely voice their advice to Kant if needed. Being surrounded by yesmen would be very dangerous,…

He noticed that they used a matchlock system. Kant Maybale, wearing his modern black suit, with a long white shirt, and a black tie, was found sitting in a lone…

"Wha... what?" Silvester asked. A few dozen of questions popped up in his head as he was extremely distraught and shocked at what just happened. Kant, keeping a stoic, emotionless face, looked at him in the eyes and repeated himself. "I asked you, how is your hand? Does it hurt? Do you need a potion?" he asked politely. "I... I... I feel fine sire. I just... what..." "Calm down Silvester. Take a deep breath," Kant advised. Silverstone obeyed and took a few deep breaths. Soon, he managed to calm down,…
