Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Book 6: Chapter 18

My plan for the workers at the factory is to split them into two shifts.

Weve just started operating, so we dont need to operate for twenty-four hours per day, however; soone on night-watch must go on patrol duty every hour. That person must watch out for fires. Ill write an order. You pass it on.

Roger.

I wrote the order with lively and vigorous strokes and signed my na. I then stamped it with the seal and handed it to the ssenger. The ssenger made a small bow and then left my office.

Freya imdiately ca in after he left, handed a docunt folder and reported, Onii-sama, this is our temporary shift-allocations for the maids, as well as the na-list. Please check it. If there is no problem with it, please sign your na and it will take effect tomorrow.

Let take a look. I took the docunt and checked the nas inside.

Why are there now three personal servants? I asked.

Because as you are now the lord of a city, the duties as a personal servant have also increased. Miss Luna will be far too busy and tired if she is the only one. As such, I have added two more personal servants for Miss Lunas sake. The two of them are Her Majestys personal maids. They are loyal and definitely good.

Forget it. Luna alone is good enough. I scribbled out the two nas and then elaborated, Luna wont be happy. I dont really need a personal servant, either. If I can do it myself, Ill do it myself.

Alright. Freya wont control my business excessively, which is a good thing.

I signed my na and then returned the docunt to her. I then asked, Oh right. Freya, what else is on the schedule for today?

You will soon have to go and see the nobles and business representatives of this region. The factory has begun operations as well. You best go and take a look. Your personal guard units training will also soon begin, so you had better boost their morale. In the evening, you have the banquet with the nobles and business representatives invited. You then need to take a look at the city defence plan designed today.

Alright. I nodded and then picked up the cup of tea by the side for a drink. I shook out my cape and said, Call Nier. Ill prepare to go and see the nobles and business representatives. Freya, ask them to wait for in the guest hall. Ill be there right away.

Understood. Freya made a small bow. She then looked at and said, Onii-sama. There has been a lot of work lately, so please take care of your health. After all, if you fall sick then you will do more harm than good. Also, the next full moon is right around the corner. I hope that you can look after your health.

Mom is here, this ti, so there wont be a problem. I opened the door and turned to stroke Freyas head. With a smile, I said, You too, Freya. You must be more tired than . You have to look after yourself, too. Dont exhaust yourself. Ah, is there anything you want to eat? Im going to go and see the rchants. Ill buy you sothing.

Preserved cherry tomatoes!

Freya revealed an excited smile like that of a child.

I watched her speak with eagerness. However, she then hid her excited smile in the next mont and swapped it for a mature and steady smile. She said, However if you are too busy, Onii-sama, do not worry about it. Further, preserved sweet cherry tomatoes are not cheap

Preserved cherry tomatoes? Got it. I nodded.

Next will be the eting with just Nier and .

Luna and Freya had to go and watch over the training of the new maids. Those girls from agriculture families had no experience with the work of maids, and the duties of maids are honestly not easy. Its not as though just anybody can handle them. They need to undergo training now, which Luna and Freya will arrange.

There are thousands of things waiting to be done in the palace right now. I dont intend to make my moms people handle everything.

Mom was planning to leave the people she brought along with .

But I feel that theyre loyal to Mom, not . Since this is my palace, they must be my people. Further, if the land is good, then this place is fantastic for work.

Once weve solved the issue with the land, I need to deal with their urgent matters before winter cos and they cant get through it.

Your Majesty. Nier walked up to my side, pressed her hand on her sword-handle with a smile and then held my hand. She looked at the frown on my face and said, Your Majesty, you pulled an all-nighter again last night, didnt you? I said to leave the docunts for the next day if there are too many. Cant you do that? Lucia is responsible, too she doesnt let you rest at all.

You wouldnt let rest, either if it was you I smiled and kissed Niers forehead. I adjusted my expression and said, Lets go, Nier. Im alright. Ill have a good rest afterwards. Lets go and see our guests, now.

Alright. Nier put on her expressionless look.

We went through the corridor that wrapped around the courtyard and walked to the guest hall ahead.

Honestly, I do indeed have a lot of work. I dont have any work experience. I need to check their population numbers and placents since this place is a collection of lots of people from villages and towns.

I also have to check the situation of the towns and villages previously, not to ntion all sorts of other reports. The city has just started to move so I need to deal with the things of the past and organise new jobs.

I dont feel tired, though. I actually feel this is new, and I have a sense of duty like Im on a mission. I feel happy and satisfied to be able to do work that I enjoy. I dont feel tired. Instead, this satisfying feeling is spurring on to work harder.

In the courtyard, Elizabeth placed her teacup down with concern. She watched her sons silhouette quickly pass by.

She sighed, placed her chin on her hand and said, Im so worried watching him work so earnestly Hes just a child and yet he has so much work. My silly son doesnt delegate work, either His body cant handle this if he keeps it up.

Isnt it you humans fault? You humans have to bother with every little detail. If we were in our elven lands, I would just do everything. What are you even testing? Do you not know that my son is the best? Vyvyan looked at her with a slightly angry look and grumbled, My sons health has just stabilised. He wont last if he continues this way.

I must let him rest then hmm let see what sort of places can he take a break nearby We cant go hunting, right now He doesnt like sword fighting either Ah drinking? Yeah, drinking will work! I need to go and find so wine! Im going to get soone to bring my treasured wine from the royal capital here!

Is there nothing else other than barbaric activities and alcohol inside that ssy, fried brain of yours? Vyvyan glared at her.

She slamd her hand on the table and firmly asked, Cant he go to a hot spring?! My son cant go to hot springs in the elven lands at the mont, but cant he go to your hot springs, either?! Hot springs are the best way to relieve fatigue! If you dont even have hot water, what are you doing constructing a city?!

Dont you elves bathe in lakes and rivers?

Thats why I want a hot spring. A hot spring is best for my son to relax.

Unfortunately, there are none close by. Frustrated, Vyvyan rolled her eyes. Her eyes almost rolled back into her head. She sighed and then demanded, My goodness Find a vacant block of land, and there will be a hot spring by tonight!!
