Kapitel 467: Fuck!

Several months later.

Nicholas was busy in his study reading reports from the lords around Riga that were sent to the capital once a month. This was the day he disliked the most of all days in the month but he must do his job and read them.

Not only reports, but the lords would also submit requests, invitations, etc. All needed his attention. Some lords were throwing parties to celebrate the birth of their heirs, marriage between their children and other lord's children, the birthday party of a Duke's daughter, and many more.

Nicholas would usually send gifts if he couldn't attend and send his representatives to go there. It was important to keep a good relationship with those noble families because they were the backbone of this kingdom. Their taxes and attributes, their soldiers and knights, and their counsel were what kept Riga prosperous and safe.
