After a few minutes of thinking, I decided to select foresight as I was extrely interested in it. It will balance out my low planning to a diocre or even high planning skill.
[You have selected Foresight]
[Would you like to confirm?]
Yes…
[Foresight Selected]
[Abyss Magic panel has been granted]
[Key Word: Abyss Status has been set]
And just as I was about to check my newly acquired skill, I saw my maids co in with a chunk of obsidian which made Reyna's eyes light up in excitent.
"Ah, this feels weird," I mutter as, as soon as I set the keyword for my [Abyss Magic], my eyes began to throb, but it didn't hurt.
It was a strange feeling, as if it was pulsating but also tensing at the sa ti, causing the sclera of my eyes to fade from black to white to black again.
"Mistress, are you alright?" One of my maids asks with an expression full of worry.
"Y-yeah,"
"Don't mind her. This process will only take a few minutes so let take a look at this first," Reyna says before the maids reluctantly gave her the chunk of obsidian after I gave them a nod of confirmation.
A few minutes passed, and as soon as I let out a sigh of relief after the weird feeling in my eyes and the black in my sclera slowly disappeared, Reyna began to talk to again. It seems she was intrigued by this new material which was extrely beautiful.
"How much for this?" Reyna asks imdiately, with her eyes glowing.
"Huh? Why should I sell this to you?" I respond, causing Reyna to be flabbergasted.
"B-but you said we are sisters now, and on top of that, our kingdoms are now going to be trading with each other, so why?"
"Cause this is our most precious material… And you want to buy it with money? How about you find sothing of equal value first and then talk to about trying to buy this," I respond while taking a sip of water.
"You're so an," Reyna says, wiping away non-existent tears before getting up and chugging the rest of her water.
"Oh yeah, you're the older sister, by the way," I add just as Reyna was packing up to leave.
"Really? I thought you were much, much older than due to you being an intelligent monster and so powerful at that," Reyna responds.
"Oh… well, I'm not even a year old yet," I say, making Reyna's jaw drop and her body freeze like a statue.
I swear I even saw part of her begin to turn to stone as well.
"S-so, does that an I was chasing after a child?" Reyna asks, and just a nod from seed to make her fall apart and dramatically fall to the floor.
"Not really," I respond, but I didn't want to dig myself a hole, so I just shut up even as Reyna tilted her head in confusion.
"Anyway! At least I got a cute little sister!" Reyna shouts and imdiately begins to hug and stroke my hair.
There's no way this is an effect of the [Pet] title… right?
"Please stop," I say while removing Reyna's hand from my head, but she tried to continue petting my head, so I imdiately ran down the hallway and left Reyna behind.
"Mother, is sothing wrong?" I hear a familiar voice as soon as I lose sight of Reyna behind .
"Nothings wrong it's just that you got a new aunt, and she's quite weird," I say while turning towards Zehar, who just ca out of one of the various unused rooms.
"What were you doing in there?" I ask with a slight smile.
"Oh, I was preparing a room for my girlfriend to stay," Zehar says bluntly, but I pretty much already knew, judging from how much he goes out to the kingdom without saying much.
"Then you better treat her well and make sure you introduce her to as well," I add.
"Of course, in fact, she should be here in about 30 minutes,"
"Okay, well, I'm just going to help Mia with so work as I'm sure she is struggling again and while I'm out, I'll probably check on everybody and the kingdom so… Maybe introduce her to tomorrow if I do end up coming back," I say before walking down the hallway to change into more appropriate clothes as I was currently in sweat pants and a sweatshirt.
…
The rest of the day was pretty lackluster as I just checked on the kingdom and so of my subordinates who were hard at work but definitely needed a break, so I secretly hired so more people to replace them for a few days.
Of course, my subordinates, which I checked on, Aimi, Aito, and Aiso, rejected it at first, but after saying it was an order, they had no choice but to take their well-deserved break.
And, the people that I hired to replace my subordinates for a few days where being paid from my pockets, so of course, they were content with a few golden coins per day.
Mid-afternoon rolled around once everything was sorted out with my subordinates, so I knew I had enough ti to check my kingdom out and see what new things there were… and then after, I'd visit Mia.
I was definitely procrastinating, but at least I wasn't procrastinating with sothing useless as there was a thing I wanted to check out no matter what.
Normally, there is a higher archy system within kingdoms, with the queen and king usually residing at the top if there is no emperor or empress.
But then, usually, there are tiers below that in the following order, prince or princess, duke or duchess, marquess or marchioness, earl or countess, viscount or viscountess, and then finally, baron or baroness.
And I was on the search for these as maintaining the entire kingdom with just myself and my wives was borderline impossible, and once my kingdom expands ever further, it will be way past impossible.
But, the cities that I'm planning to make outside of the kingdom and in the different regions of the [Mountain of Twilight] will have city lords who will, of course, take care of the city while I don't have to maintain them much.
Tup Tup Tup
As the sound of my heels against the dirt road echoed along with the large houses in a specific place of my kingdom, multiple residents ca to greet with obvious greedy intentions.
There was a mix of all races, gender, and body type, but there was one major thing they all had in common… they were all greedy as hell.
Each resident who ca to greet tried to earn my favor or at least kiss ass when they ever need it, they could call to co to help them despite knowing how heartless I could be.
But that was why I ca here. I wanted greedy people like these as they would always try to push the limits of my kingdom to try and expand more… and then there's the chance where all of that could backfire, but if need be, I'll slaughter the ones who beco overly greedy as most of the residents weren't that strong.
After a few hours of searching and greeting everybody within the mostly rich area, I had finally finished but wasn't that exhausted, so I made my way to Mia, who was still hard at work but didn't look as tired as she got a new assistant.
She was a 5'8 tall beastman with similar pink hair to Mia and an earnest attitude which complinted Mia well.
But, as soon as I entered the room after observing them for a while with my own senses, the assistant lost all her cool as she began to panic and almost fainted at first sight of .
"W-w-w-w-would you like sothing to drink?" The assistant asks as I sit on the couch in Mia's office.
She was currently still hard at work, and it seems she hasn't even noticed yet.
"What drinks do you have?" I ask.
"I-I can get your highness sothing from outside if you would like,"
"Just get so water, please," I say, which the assistant imdiately bows quickly and deeply before scampering off through the doorway and into the hallway.
"Yo, Mia, you there?" I ask as Mia seed to be still absorbed into her work, so I walk up to her desk and take half the pile.
"O-oh, your highness! Please forgive my rudeness-"
But before Mia could apologize, I sat her back down in her chair and just took a pencil as I began to fill out the boring paperwork, which was stacked so high that it looked as if it could topple over at any mont.
