With Debauchery losing the will for any further exploration, they just returned ho with Yunan and took the rest the day off and shared their own lunch with the girls, thereafter the lot of them headed for the baths to relax and talk about what Yunan experienced in his first day as an 80th floor explorer.
According to Leader "this boy has so marvelous luck, ever since we entered the 80s we haven't had this much fighting nor have we had t a big group of enemies, all the adventurers we t were good folks, luckily you ca by and baited a few bad apples for us" in the 80s it was a bit hard to et with other adventurers, let alone eting a big band of aggressive ones, as for the monster fights, they were lucky not to end up with too much damage and the fights ending rather fast and without too many surprises.Yunan was glad that his first day was on the good side of the spectrum, he was planning to spend a few more days and he hoped they would go well for him.
Returning back to the morning ti, Reina and Sarah left bed not long after Yunan teleported away to Tartarus, the two pushed the others off of the bed, Ophelia went to her lab to work on whatever concoction she deed necessary to work on, Kitty and Lili helped Reina prepare for formalities, while Sarah started picking up the paperwork they needed for what they planned to do. After sunrise they teleported to the bright palace in bid to et with the service personnel and talk with the ministers of the governnt to see what they can interfere with and help smooth things for them.
As the Queen of the Pearl and her retinue, Reina t the old ministers of both official and underground governnts to discuss how could her help be provided. She knew Yunan was a hand off kind of king but he still actively joined in when big things ca up, like the ti with the big bad assassin, or the ti he sent Drogon to burn pirates into oblivion, however since their wedding and her attaining the official title of Queen, Reina decided that she can try to change the way the population looked at the royal family.
The king was a good guy that helped build a better kingdom, it was still small but it was safer and more prosperous, even upholding the no magic law and enforcing it on all equally, including himself, that gave a good look towards the no hands king who's only interference was to defuse a situation or create an improvent. Reina wanted that to change, she wanted to plant the idea that the royal family was not hands off, it just chose not to interfere with the lowest end of political work, however, they still kept a firm outlook on the whole process in order to better understand and improve the kingdom.
Her first eting was the underground governnt, they had been slowly losing their grip on the underworld due to a recent flood of informants that have infiltrated and are making the uncontrollable lowest level thugs agitated causing a rise in petty cri, Reina and Sarah provided so thoughts on how to flush out the informants, they wanted to use real intelligence about the royal family and the business situation around the pearl, opening a few spots for those informants to try and grab a foot hold.
The information Sarah provided was of no use nor could it cause harm to the pearl, for example the size of trade with the guild and the items traded, and the situation of the underground world and the weak spots to break the balance between different factions, all these information had imnse value to outsiders but could not be used against the Pearl in any way, shape or form. The items provided by the Pearl were unique and the guild would never buy them elsewhere, the weak spots of the underground governnt were there especially for the express purpose of attracting all the pressure from the criminal world.
The underground governnt was also having trouble with financing themselves and keeping their employees well paid, especially with the increasing costs thanks to the recent events, Reina, gave them a choice, they could sell all the illegal items, drugs, and all stolen property to her and she had her own ways of dealing with them, since the underground governnt were being financed using illegal items and their circulation, it was best if those things were taken of the market gradually, after offering these two pieces of aid the representative of the underground governnt left with a smile on his face.
Afterwards ca a few ministers with big stacks of problems that they thought that they could dump on this ddling Queen to discourage her, after so talks Reina diplomatically solved a few problems by enlisting the help of the underground governnt in exchange for financial assistance, the underground governnt could use its manpower to provide the official governnt with statistics, accurate information about the effects of policies and practices, as well as support in the enforcent of laws and regulations. The eting ended with both branches of governnt taking more ti to work on the proposed items.
Lastly they t up with the guild representative in this kingdom. Usually when the guild sells a kingdom they would pull away their employees and give the sold kingdom autonomy, but Yunan has made it so that the guild would still work marginally side by side with the kingdom, the eting lasted until noon, they discussed how to make use of the guild's presence, expand the trade market and the possibility of creating diplomatic relations through the guild, given that the nominated kingdoms were ones that could provide so mutually beneficial alliance.
