[Why are they receiving this much privilege? What about us?]
[We also suffered a lot from this lockdown and the pests and disease...]
[I don’t hear any activities for us nobles. Does His and Her Majesty not care about us? Not only the the Sibruh family maintained this territory. We and our ancestors helped too...]
The nobles were getting frustrated that they were not hearing about anything dedicated to them.
’Alright. Alright. Wait for your turn,’ Arabella wanted to say.
She noted to announce before this event ended that nobles and rchants are invited to a eting separately.
After all, even the rchants were getting frustrated.
"For those who want to have fun and earn so extra money while at it, we have also prepared sothing for you," Nadia said, and the people waited silently, their eyes widening at the word ’money.’
"We plan to hold ga tournants that include cash prizes and other rewards for the best players. Please welco my colleague for the specifics, Nadia said and glanced at Felix.
Felix stepped forward and held his voice-amplifying magic tool.
"Everyone may also join the ga tournants.
However, there will be age restrictions.
You may only join gas allowed in your age bracket.
This is to ensure that the ga will be fair for the players and prevent unfair advantage.
There will be cash prizes and non-cash prizes for the best players and others who achieve set targets.
The range of the prizes will vary according to the difficulty of the gas.
For the specific gas, we already have so in mind, but we are still communicating with rchants here in Sibruh for so more, as they will be the gamasters.
To rchants who were stuck due to the lockdown or could not sell their products, and rchants who suffered major losses due to pests and plant disease, please approach or my colleague Nadia if you want to be among the ga masters," Felix explained.
"But why the rchants? So of them are shrewd. Wouldn’t the gas be rigged so no one wins?" Soone with ample experience in gas asked.
"The gas are forbidden to be rigged.
Gamasters and their employees or family mbers who are part of implenting the gas are forbidden from joining.
Moreover, the gas and prizes are sponsored by the Imperial Palace, so all rchants who beco ga masters must submit reports, which Nadia and other palace employees will check strictly.
There will also be Imperial Knights assigned to watch in each ga to prevent cheating and all sorts of underhanded tactics from both players and gamasters," Felix clarified.
"I see... We may have chances of winning then..."
The people were relieved that there would be strict rules implented to prevent cheating on both sides.
"Does this an not all rchants can participate as gamasters?" A rchant asked.
"It depends. If it’s proven that you are among the rchants who had major losses due to the current circumstances, you may be among the gamasters.
However, if you are among the rchants who earned a lot due to the circumstances and still do, then you may not take part unless all heavily affected rchants have already been taken in as gamasters.
We planned this event such that stuck rchants and rchants with heavy losses may be able to recover at least so of their losses while providing relaxation, fun, and so earnings and rewards for the locals.
Thus, we will prioritize according to guidelines we have determined beforehand," Felix explained.
"I see... Thank you for explaining," the rchant sighed in relief.
Listening to his thoughts, Arabella learned that he was one of the rchants who lost a lot of money due to the circumstances.
The rchant was worried that the bigger and more popular rchants would be prioritized while smaller rchants like them would have no chance.
Thus, he was glad that they would be prioritized based on the criteria Felix explained.
It ant that those who truly needed it would be the ones to be taken as ga masters first.
To prevent bigger rchants from getting offended, they are also welco to join, but only after all the most affected ones have been taken in.
Of course, even big rchants who suffered major losses would also be prioritized as long as they had proof.
Their reports will be verified with the rchant guild, the Marquess’ records, other rchants, and the locals as well.
This way, they could ensure that no rchants were fabricating reports to grab the opportunity to make money.
After listening to the rchants’ thoughts, Arabella realized that most of those who ca here to listen were small-ti rchants, so were dium-sized, and a few were from bigger businesses.
All of them were affected by the lockdowns and the pest infestation and plant disease, which was why they ca to listen to this hearing.
"Thank you for listening. So far, these are all the activities we had lined up..."
Nadia summarized all the activities they had planned out, and the people were glad that there were varied activities they could take part in.
After the activities mainly aid at destressing, relaxing, distracting, and diversifying the attention and focus of the locals, it was finally ti to discuss the employnt opportunities.
"We will now present various employnt opportunities to be implented here. Please listen to my colleagues as they explain each project," Nadia began.
Nadia stepped back, and Norbert stepped forward.
"Hello, everyone. Once again, I am Norbert Fidelis, one of Her Majesty’s assistants," Norbert followed how Nadia introduced herself.
"One of the employnt opportunities we deed possible to be implented here in Sibruh is maximizing the mining industry.
After doing our research, we noticed that Sibruh had a lot of mines, but only a fourth of them are active and not even operating at maximum capacity.
So had even closed over the years. I heard from the Marquess that this is due to a lack of equipnt, a lack of experts on this matter, and accidents happening in the mines," Norbert began.
From their talks with the Marques, more than ten mines had closed due to accidents.
Mostly because there were parts of the tunnels that caved in.
However, such matters can be solved with proper preparation, proper mining managent, and strict protocols to be followed.
"In my holand, our mines operate in all seasons. Even in winter," Norbert said, and the people had violent reactions.
"How is that possible? Mining in winter is dangerous! We can be trapped inside!"
