Chapter 168: Obligation to the throne 

"Let us not get off-topic here. We are here to discuss the finances of the kingdom." Duke Frederick reminded the Council members as they started arguing about the other issues circulating in the kingdom.

At the palace of the duke, all the Council members converged for their monthly assemblage. The meeting revolved around the discussion of how they could improve the social status of the kingdom and strengthen their finances.

"We are seriously facing extinction if we kept up at this same pace." Lord Bailey, a member of the Council, stated as their meeting continued.

The Lord of the farthest south part of the kingdom and the other Councils expressed their concern about the predicament of the future generation. As new governments and industrialization began to take over the world, they were afraid that the future of their kingdom was also at risk of dying.
