21 Chapter 21

The first thing that Greg planned to do was to feed the people, since Lorath relied a lot on Trade for getting food and now only a small amount of traders would come to Lorath since Greg has conquered it and proclaimed a new Kingdom.

Greg had also used is reward from conquering Lorath which was

[Conquer Lorath] Completed

Rewards: 10k System points

1x General summon

10x Combat maids

1x Treasurer

Greg used 2k of the 10k system points to buy food for the entire city to last for 8 months. This would get the people on his side for now until he runs out of food. The 10 combat maids while they were combat maids, they are still maids and carry out basic maid duties, only they are built for combat.

The general was a man of average height, black hair, and blue eyes with a Sword on his waist wearing plated armor. This General Greg had made in charge of 2k men and sent them to explore the rest of the island beyond the gates of the city.

The Treasurer was immediately put to work on managing the Kingdom's economy. Greg had summoned some people to work for the treasurer who name was Fredrick since the treasurer needed some people to work for him and gather information.

The Gold and other expensive things taken from the former Magisters and Merchants would last some years, but soon they would need more, since Greg planned to start hiring people to do construction work for him.

Greg had spent 500 System points to buy a Roman builder from the system that could help rebuild the city. Greg wanted the city to look as good as the Ancient Romans from his world, since they built great cities and structures that left their mark in history.

The Romans also had some great ways to keep their cities clean through a good sewage system and hygiene places that kept the city and people clean. Most people in Lorath were lucky to even bathe in the lake.

Greg planned to introduce lots of things from his world into this one, and for that he needs people who know how to make the things from his world so that they can show other people.

One of the main things that Greg planned to have made was a cannon from his old world. A cannon would help greatly in sieges and for naval battle. Plus, with cannons, breaking the wall of any castle will be easy.

Even taking King's landing, whether by land or by sea, will be easy. First, all he needs is to acquire some Gunpowder, but he doesn't have the resources to make them nor knows how to acquire them, so he bought an Ancient Inventor or Engineer for 500 Points.

Within a Month, the inventor had found a way to make Gunpowder as he discovered the resources that he needed in this world. So the inventor took off with some soldiers to gather those resources since they were located on the main land of Essos.

In Braavos after the conquering of Lorath by Greg and establishing a Kingdom, the Sea Lord thought of this as a threat since somebody had threatened the independence of the free cities by establishing a Kingdom. The Sea lord wanted to take back Lorath since every day that the Kingdom is established is a day that the Free cities are threatened.

So the Sea Lord planned to retake Lorath, but the only problem is that the city would require a Sea invasion which is costly for men, and he doesn't know how many men Greg has, so he asked one of his councilors a Magister to use his influence and connection to gather information.

Little do they know spying on Greg would come back to bite them since Greg already has spies in Braavos.

Back in Lorath Greg was reviewing a report of the Kingdom and how the day-to-day of the people were going.

Throughout the month the people moods have been improving and there have been less resistance to Greg's rule as most have accepted it by now especially since their lives have been improving.

But there were still some problems like crimes being committed since some thought since a new person was in charge of the city that they could do anything. But what ever they thought was quickly turned around since they were arrested and some executed.

Greg as he was in his office, a knock was heard on the door

"Enter" said Greg

A Royal guard had came in and kneeled, "Your grace, we have captured a man who has broken into a home and raped a widowed wife and a child"

Greg stood up from his chair, "take me to him immediately"

The Royal Guards escorted Greg to the location of the rapist. If it was one thing that Greg hated the most, it was a rapist, especially one who rapes a young child.

Outside being held by a bunch of guards, the rapist was standing there looking at Greg as he approached

"So this is the man" Said Greg as he looked at the man in disgust, "Such filth"

The man looked at Greg and spit on his face, since he despised the new ruler of the city for placing so many restrictions and laws.

This man used to be a merchant who secretly sold his slaves in Lorath but because of the new laws and King his business was found out, and he lost all his wealth. This made him angry at the King, so he planned to hurt the people to get back at the King. But his plan failed

The Royal Guard all unsheathed their swords ready to kill the man but were stopped by Greg

"Take him to the city square" Said Greg since he planned to make a statement to others.

In the city square, the rapist was tied up waiting for his execution, while people gathered around wondering what the Royal Guards were doing.

Then Greg had walked up with Aleanna next to him and stood next to the rapist

"This man you see here has broken into a house, raped the mother of said house and her child, which both are crimes punishable by death" Said Greg

"So we are here today to witness the execution of a rapist who broke the law" Said Greg as the rapist was placed on his knees and forced to bow his head.

Greg had grabbed his sword and walked up to the rapist, raising his sword high as the people curse the rapist.

In a swift swing of his sword, the head of the rapist was cut off as his body fell to the ground.

Greg had cleaned his sword off and looked among the crowd, "Let this be a lesson to any who commit such crimes in my city I will personally execute you and if you run these Guards will hunt you down where ever you run" Said Greg

"So please lets all not break the law, so you won't end up like him" Said Greg as he left the square back to his palace escorted by his guards.

Greg wanted this to be an example of what happens when people break the law in his Kingdom and while some people may consider it cruel, it sometimes cruelty is needed, especially when ruling.
