NABC Chapter 510
Chapter 510
Recently, Amelia found herself in a rather difficult position. After the Duke’s faction withdrew, she had spent several days struggling to stabilize her newly expanded territory.
The issue stemmed from the sudden annexation of six counties. Rather than a gradual, prepared expansion, she had seized the opportunity for rapid territorial growth, leaving her with a mountain of problems.
The economic state of the eastern regions, already battered by rifts and war, had plummeted to an abysmal level, exacerbating her predicament.
Every day, Amelia relentlessly pressured her vassals. If you’ve claimed it, you’re responsible for it.
“Is the food transport complete?”
“Well, um... there are just so many places that need supplies.”
“Didn’t I tell you to focus all our resources on that for now?”
“The sudden expansion has left us struggling to even grasp the current situation.”
“Tch, I guess we really bit off more than we could chew.”
“The royal court has decreed that the previous agreements are nullified and has ordered all territories returned to their rightful owners. What shall we do?”
At this, Amelia scoffed.
There was a reason she had gone to such lengths to claim these territories. Opportunities to seize so much land at once were exceedingly rare.
However, the nobles who had overseen the agreements stepping down posed a serious headache for her.
The royal court was pressuring her incessantly to return the lands and renew her oath of fealty to the king.
When Amelia ignored their demands and refrained from replying, they retaliated by blocking the transportation routes connecting Rayfold to the eastern regions. Without the means to reach the north, they simply obstructed the main pathways.
“Those bastards...”
Amelia ground her teeth in frustration. To stabilize her newly expanded territory, she needed to funnel Rayfold’s resources into the region.
Deposing Marquis Branford and splitting the Royal Army from the Northern forces was something she could handle.
