In the United World Governnt, Charlotte had just heard the news about the disappearances of the Authority from Citadel. It practically brought about a maelstrom from the lowest to the highest administrative and military personnel.
The disappearance of their leader brought greater effects, but fortunately, she managed to cald things down after assuring the innurable personnel of the United World Governnt of the Authority's safety.
"Abraham... I can't believe he left without warning." Charlotte shook her head in annoyance, not wanting to think about the troubleso man that had left so kind of ntal pandemonium in the country.
"It seems that Sir Abraham has found Lady Laplace." In front of the Pri Minister was the Director of the Atlas Corporation, rcedes, a silver wolf beastfolk. The lycanthrope had a good point as Abraham wouldn't leave the Citadel with clear reasons.
"Laplace, huh? It's been several months since she departed the country. I hope she's alright." Charlotte remarked, a bit worried about the status of the dragoness. Even though Laplace was a dragon, she was still a pregnant woman with the usual troubles of one.
"I'm sure that Lady Laplace is in good condition. She's stronger than anything in the United World Governnt." rcedes smirked, confident about the capabilities of her superior. In her mind, Laplace was far more powerful than anyone else.
Perhaps, only Abraham, himself, could rival her.
"I guess that make sense."
"Anyhow, our economy has been on the rise lately. It's all thanks to the Atlas Corporation advancing the foreign trade onward. Neighboring countries are purchasing our products in bulk, which deals a great benefit for the United World Governnt." Charlotte smiled at the silver wolf.
"The Atlas Corporation is rely managing trade. Companies have been popping up buying and selling our products to foreign countries. From hygiene products, pens, books, and many more. Besides, there's far larger problems to handle." rcedes stated, earning the frown of Charlotte.
Charlotte wasn't ignorant of the circumstance in Dawn City. Since the disappearance of Laplace, criminal activities have been steadily rising along with criminal organizations popping up in the slums. "The slums... Has anyone found a way to solve the problem?"
She questioned the silver wolf, wanting to know about the plans they had regarding the growing slums. The eyes of rcedes narrowed as she thought about ways of solving the slums. But it was a complicated problem that needed a much more complex solution.
"The slums have been created because of the booming immigrant population of Dawn City. There are more jobs than people, specifically, lower-end jobs that can be easily caught on even with asly education. We can increase the amount of jobs, but it all depends on the market demand."
"Otherwise, we would risk inflating it instead."
"There's also the question whether or not they would be willing to go onward. Maybe they are already comfortable in their situation, not wanting it to be disrupted in so way." rcedes responded as she herself had no idea how to solve it despite heavily thinking about it.
"Many are complaining about the increase in criminal activities near and inside the slums. Our law enforcent can't get into it without riling up the locals inside." Charlotte sighed to herself, annoyed by the troubleso situation at hand.
"How do you propose in taking care of it?" rcedes asked, curious about the idea that the Pri Minister had in mind. "That solution of such a problem is for the governor of Dawn City to handle." Charlotte chuckled, remarking that it wasn't her problem.
"At the very least, the increase in cri rate hadn't affected nearby islands as well. Otherwise, it wouldn't do us any good."
"That's what you keep saying to yourself." rcedes comnted as she knew more about the complexities of the immigrant population throughout the states of the United World Governnt. The State of Minos along with the State of Pelago have been facing increased immigration since the past month.
With it, law and order has been difficult for them to enact as there were too much foreign population to handle than expected.
Hearing the comnts of rcedes, Charlotte wryly smiled as she wondered how she had gotten it wrong. Maybe if it was Abraham leading the United World Governnt, the problems now wouldn't have popped up to be so troubleso.
Noticing the doubts in Charlotte's face, rcedes sighed and calmly uttered to the Pri Minister. "Leading a country isn't always without troubles. What matters the most is how you handle it. The policies you enact would be your weapons and tools against the problems you face."
"If you need help, you could always call the Atlas Corporation to take care of the hustling part of taking out trashes." rcedes winked at Charlotte, who promptly smiled at her words. "I'd rather not let them face a corporation's brutality."
"But thanks for the suggestion."
"I guess a eting should be made to open up the complex issues at hand. At the very least, I would be able to hear the suggestions and thoughts of the senate before enacting a policy to the populace." Charlotte muttered to herself, earning the nod of the Director.
"Hearing the opinion of others is a good start, though if it was my superior, she would have raided the slums in its entirety in the na of peace." rcedes chuckled, feeling a bit complicated since it felt as though she was badmouthing Lady Laplace.
As she turned her gaze towards the Pri Minister, rcedes noticed the frozen face of Charlotte. The silver wolf raised her eyebrows, slowly turning to back. At the sa ti, her body froze in shocked, unable to believe the scene before her.
"W- What?" Standing in the front door of the Pri Minister's office was a gorgeous lady with silver hair and golden irises. Her body emanated the pressure of dominion as though making others instinctively kneel before her very presence.
"It seems that the two of you have learned to badmouth while I'm gone. Do you not understand how disappointed I am?" The gorgeous lady narrowed her eyes, seeing that her supposed friends tarnishing her while she was away.
"They aren't badmouthing you, Laplace. The two are rely speaking of the trut-" Before Abraham could continue, Laplace softly elbowed his stomach, halting him from talking further. The middle-aged man felt chills in his spine, deciding to retreat for the anti.
Returning her attention to the two, Laplace smirked and opened her arms, quickly hugging them in succession. "It's been a while, my friends. I have heard a lot about your escapades with my husband. How dare you do a threeso without ."
Her remarks caused Abraham to facepald, giving up in understanding the dragoness. On the other hand, her words caused the two ladies to wake up. The first to mutter a single word was rcedes. "L-Lady Laplace... You're back?"
"Of course, I'm back. Do you think I'll be gone forever while you try to eat by husband behind my back?" Laplace puffed up her chest, not backing down against the two ladies that had touched her husband. She would be willing to fight for love if needed to.
"Eh... Laplace, great you've finally returned." Charlotte had a complicated smile as she had troubles in processing the emotion that had consud her mind. It was strange, to say the least, but most of all, she was relieved.
Her eyebrows quickly furrowed as she glared at the middle-aged man beside the dragoness. "Abraham Shepherd, you dare leave without warning? Do you know that you brought pandemonium into the governnt with your disappearance?"
"How dare you leave with a problem." Clearly, she wasn't happy with his untily disappearance in the Citadel, which caused chaos in the military and the administration of the United World Governnt.
"Don't worry about him, Charlotte. I already had a talk with about that." Laplace waved her hands back and forth, making the Pri Minister cald her rage into its minimum levels. "I guess I shouldn't be too angry about it."
"Apologies for acting like a child." Charlotte once again sighed to herself, lumping her body into the seat. Laplace walked around the table and stood beside the Pri Minister, massaging her shoulders. "It seems that our stone-faced girl has been working hard."
"Leading a country must be difficult, huh?" Laplace remarked as she kept massaging the body of Charlotte, who steadily relaxed herself. The Pri Minister aloofly uttered. "Going to war is far easier than trying to make an entire nation stable."
"Heh... You ran out of luck the mont you got elected as the Pri Minister." Laplace chuckled at the suffering of the stone-faced girl in front of her. Charlotte rely raised one of her eyebrows, but decided to let it go instead.
"Anyhow, I want the two of you to et my child." The mont the dragoness uttered such words. Charlotte and rcedes finally rembered that Laplace was previously pregnant to begin with. It was due to this that she needed to temporarily leave from the United World Governnt.
Their backs quickly straightened as Abraham carried a little girl forward like a cat with its paw onward. The little girl had jet-black hair and sapphire-like irises, though her silver horns and tails practically declared whose daughter she was.
"et my daughter, the cutest of the world, the most adorable dragon that has ever existed, Tiamat!" Abraham placed her on top of the table as if he placed the greatest treasure that has ever been hailed in the United World Governnt.
Tiamat gazed upon the two ladies, deciding that acting like a child would do her better faith. Eating up her pride, she looked at them cutely and move her hand forward like a paw.
"Rawr..."
