-- POV Freya --
It was already afternoon and everyone had had ti to rest, eat and drink. There was still so food left over that the girls had hunted and cooked by several won who had stayed in the camp. The weather was as clear and beautiful as ever, and many voices of joy could be heard rising in the sky.
While I was still with Gaya and Shiro who were finishing eating, Caipy's voice could be heard at the entrance of the tent.
"Excuse for disturbing your Highness, but it seems to that the newly present people are ready to talk to you. We have explained your future plans to them and they are also aware of the identity of the Princess and your wife."
"It's perfect."
The ti for reunion was over and I had to move on to the important things. If I wanted to build my Kingdom well I had to know now who among my subordinates had useful skills. My search was not limited, the choices could range from "knowing how to cook" to "having combat potential". I needed to know as much as possible about everyone so I could assign positions accordingly. This was not going to be an easy task.
"Well, let's go."
Rising to my feet and dusting off my still bloodstained clothes, I walked out of the tent with Gaya and Shiro. The sunlight was the first thing to catch my attention before I laid eyes on 283 people kneeling before .
*Again ?*
I loved this sign of respect that they gave , but deep down I had the impression that I didn't deserve this treatnt despite being their Empress. This feeling hadn't left since the last ti and for the first ti I doubted sothing.
*Why should they kneel after being subjected to so many things and humans?*
After all, my Kingdom would only co into being because of the people who will live in it. It was these sa people who were kneeling before that would make my dream possible.
Gaya and Kira, who had noticed my absence and understood what was bothering , were quick to reassure .
[Onee-san, if you want to rule over a huge kingdom, you'll have to get used to it. Don't worry about it. Look, they are smiling.]
"Honey, it's their way of showing their gratitudes and respects. You're going to give them a new life, trust there's nothing you don't deserve."
I couldn't help but smile slightly as I silently thanked them. I realized that I was slowly changing because of the three people I cherished most in the world. I had never had such people in my life before and at that mont I was thanking Goddess Titania for bringing into this world.
I straightened my head and had no more doubts.
"Stand up, from now on you can just bow to . Save that salute for the big events."
As they got up, I continued my little speech.
"I do indeed intend to build a Kingdom so that we can all live safely, for this I need you all ! Things will not be easy and even rather complicated at first, but I promise you that the result will be worth the sweat of our hard work. I am ready to receive all of you one by one to listen to what you have to say and assign you to a position that suits you."
Contrary to what I thought, they all seed excited and happy to be able to participate. Finally this dream of mine was everyone's and we were going to work hard until it beca a reality.
These little interviews were going to take up a lot of my ti, but they were necessary and I wouldn't be alone.
"Those who wish to learn to fight and thus beco part of our future army, please move to the right."
It was necessary to divide as many people as possible to better organize. So, 160 people simultaneously moved to the right. These people were all of different races but had a burning desire in their eyes to not have to go through the sa things again. They wanted to learn how to fight if they were given the chance to try.
*All right, 123 people left. I'll list specific positions to speed up.*
"The positions I'm going to list are quite varied and quite vague at the mont but the aim is to be able to get you to form groups according to what you're best at or where you want to work."
They all looked at silently, shaking their heads in understanding as I continued.
"I will then receive you all in groups. For the other 160, you can head to the 10 won over there, they will help you until I can co to you."
Looking at Nixia and as she approached I asked her to go with the other girls to deal with the many volunteers.
"Try to see with them if they already know how to use an elent and separate them in terms of fighting styles. Since there are 160 of them take 16 each. I'm counting on you."
"Yes, Your Highness"
I wanted them to sort out the new warriors in so way. Even if they weren't fighters yet it would be easier to create specific sections.
*Yosh ! *
All I had to do now was to state the positions and gather them according to their choices. Once that was done, I could receive them to get a better idea of their talents and at the sa ti discover the different races present.
*Let's go !*

After several long minutes I had finally nad the things that seed important to . I knew I couldn't think of everything, but I was counting on others to help . Other ideas could just as easily co up at any ti so it wasn't definite.
I had thought of the positions that would give us a good start. The areas were : cooking, managent, manufacturing (cloth and other), building, farming, hunting, blacksmithing and childcare. Everyone had been divided up and all that was left for to do was to receive them.
I was sitting on a chair in the tent and a long line was waiting outside, full of people waiting to see . Gaya was sitting next to while Shiro was still on my lap almost asleep.
"Co in !"
____
The sun was already starting to set as the last people were leaving the tent. I had spent the whole afternoon listening and eting everyone. My new subordinates all seed to have their hearts healed even though their physical wounds could still testify to their hard lives.
"I am tired.."
I had blurted out that sentence as I stretched to crack my bones and relax my muscles. It had been a long day but everyone had left with a job to do in the Kingdom. Luckily they all knew how to do sothing in particular as forr slaves, which made things much easier.
"I guess you're going to work again ?"
Gaya had gotten up with that question and was now hugging , standing behind my chair. Shiro hadn't been sleeping and had decided to go play outside with the other kids for a while now so we were alone.
"Mmh, the Kingdom's constructions must be started as soon as possible. Luckily in this camp there are tools, weapons and quite a few things so it's imperative to finish the preparations. I haven't finished working but you can go rest and et up with Shiro if you wish."
Gaya had stayed by my side all day, greeting each person with dignity and never showing any sign of fatigue. If I was tired, she must have been exhausted.
Taking my face in her soft hands and lifting my head, Gaya stared at before answering with a serious expression.
"No ! I'll stay with you. With two of us it will be easier to get ahead and then if the Empress is working then so is her wife !"
I grabbed her from behind the chair to sit her on my lap before answering with a chuckle.
"Haha~ very good my love, then we must..."
Before I could finish my sentence, Gaya had kissed quickly and lovingly on the lips before standing up again as she spoke.
"When you call "my love" I can't help it and then this kiss, think of it as a gift to give you courage."
As she said these words, I could see her wink at , which made smile dangerously as she tucked a strand of hair back behind her ear. It was a habit she had when she was shy, which made want her even more.
Not wanting to let her go so easily, I rose to my feet and towered over her with my height, approaching her gently. While Gaya was stuck between and the table unable to leave, I grabbed her buttocks to sit her on the table and slid my fingers under her chin. My naturally cold, intense, hypnotic gaze was locked into hers, warm, soft and comforting as I spoke in a commanding voice.
"Honey...when you're this enticing, you have to take responsibility for it kufufu~"
"I..."
The dragoness was all red and I was wondering again how a woman like her still acted like a young girl in my presence. I smiled with all my teeth before kissing her and tasting her tongue that had hooked every second. It wasn't a full moon night but my desire to touch her was still strong and I wanted to give in to my bestial instinct. Unfortunately we still had a lot to do and organize.
Gently breaking off our passionate kiss and after kissing her forehead, I returned to my chair proud of having teased her.
"Are you always this...wild ?"
My wife asked , turning her head away as she fidgeted, still sitting on the table. I didn't want to answer to tease her again, so this ti it was my turn to wink at her with a mischievous wink full of innuendo.
[Uh huh ! Onee-san, if you don't want to work all night, you'd better get back to work.]
Kira was right, it was ti to debrief this day before finding Shiro who was probably already eating with the other kids.
"Yosh ! Gaya take so paper and write down everything I'm going to tell you."
"Yes !"
It was ti to get my mory working. We hadn't bothered to write down so as not to appear impolite in front of these people who were looking at us with smiles. I was the Empress and Gaya my wife, so we received them as such.
"So...we have : 25 for the buildings with 4 people who can handle architecture and carpentry. 20 are farrs, 5 are hunters, and 10 can handle the cooking. The manufacturers who can handle things for the ti being are 10. The ones who are good at managent are 5 and 6 are experts in plants and botany. Finally there are the old people who are 13, 25 children and 6 people volunteering to look after them."
[It was worth spending the day there, everyone knows what they'll have to work with in the future.]
Indeed, there may be so specific areas missing but for the mont that's all I can think of.
As I summarized all this, Gaya took the trouble to write down the numbers and information on paper and ink to keep track of the accounts. Suddenly she stopped writing and looked up to ask a question.
"It's important to write everything down so should I also write down the races present in each category ?"
[N/A: I will no longer specify "half-human cat", I will simply write "half-cat" or "half-wolf".]
Indeed, there were quite a few races that I had never seen before but we were still too few to have a real diversity. Among the races present for these positions were: half-tigers, kobolds, half-rabbits, minotaurs, centaurs, half-cats, ogres, two fire foxes, elves, true white wolves, half-wolves, hybrids, half-spiders and dryads.
"That would be nice, yes. I'll dictate them to you as easily as possible. So...."
Each race could be more or less gifted in one area depending on their origins, which is why, for example, most rabbit half-humans were specializing in cultivation rather than carpentry or combat.
"Builders : kobolds, minotaurs, centaurs, ogres and a fox.
Farrs : half-rabbits and elves
Hunters : white wolves
Cooks : half-wolves, half-rabbits and half-cats
Managent : half-tigers and half-rabbits
Manufacturers : half-spiders and half-cats
Childcare : fox, half-cat and elves
dical : elves and dryads
We have no blacksmiths at the mont as for the children and old people the races are varied enough I don't think it's necessary to note that at the mont."
The evening wasn't over for us yet, but once it was, our Kingdom could finally begin to really exist.
[N/A: Image of the detailed table in comnt of paragraph, it will be updated only on discord. Also be aware that this arc may seem boring to so, there is a lot of managent and organization (but not only). I apologize but the creation of the Kingdom takes ti and I want everyone to understand].
