Chapter 253: Working on Expanding the Kingdom (Final)

"What drinks do you have?" I ask. 

"I-I can get your highness something from outside if you would like," 

"Just get me some water, please," I say, which the assistant immediately bows quickly and deeply before scampering off through the doorway and into the hallway. 

"Yo, Mia, you there?" I ask as Mia seemed to be still absorbed into her work, so I walk up to her desk and take half the pile. 

"O-oh, your highness! Please forgive my rudeness-" 

But before Mia could apologize, I sat her back down in her chair and just took a pencil as I began to fill out the boring paperwork, which was stacked so high that it looked as if it could topple over at any moment.

[Day 84] 

"We pulled an all-nighter," I mutter after realizing that the sun had risen. 

Mia and I were exhausted, but we barely made a dent in the paperwork due to even more coming in every few hours.
