章 6: Pillars of the nation (1)
Rule #2: The greatest threat will never be the external ones, but the ones who succeed in the Interior, You can build a nation and if it falls, you can rebuild it from the debris, but if the it falls from the insides, even the gods reach their limits.
So the job of a ruler is maintaining the country strong with strong Pilars that supports the roof above our heads, because all the other things can be rebuilt, can be actualized and can change with the eras, but not the pillars, the pillars just need to grow to keep up with the always changing structure.
...
I left the platform and returned to the palace in what looks as a floating stairs that are conformed of floating platforms that withdraw behind me as I walk to give what I think is a ceremonial style that I personally like.
A bit exaggerated, yes, but they look pretty cool.
After a while of climbing stairs I arrived to the castle, so I said to my servants that I was tired and I go to my room.
This time the real one, and not just a provisional one.
I moved through the castle in a series of secret corridors known only by the royal family, that are like shortcuts to travel easier from one part to another because the castle is so big that is a waste of time to walk from one side to another and is improper, at least in my thoughts, to be running through the castle.
I like to maintain the my image as a king even when it was a game, at least the most of the time, because the npcs were so real that they truly can have a image of you as their ruler and not just obey blindly.
Finally I arrived to my room, a luxurious and really big futuristic room on the top of a tower with a enormous window with views to the whole capital.
Now in my room, I snapped my fingers twice and said.
" Mirror." Then a gray cloud appeared from nothing and formed a beautiful and flawless mirror, this is not any type of black magic or something like that, this are servants nanobots, that are built and programmed to take the form of also anything you can need and as a bonus they maintain maintain my house, I mean my room, clean and in order.
They just react to the owner orders and if they suffer any damage or get broken or trodded, you can just give them some materials and they will auto-replicate themselves as long as there is no a programming problem.
But obviously this is not a technology at the hands of the most of the public and just the wealthiest and the ones with a high status can buy it, and I casually meet all those characteristics.
But returning to the mirror, I carefully saw every part of me.
Hmm…Hmm…HMMM.
Yes, is definitive, I'm super handsome, No really, If I were the beauty standard any quantity of plastic surgeries and genetical modification would be enough to reach the minimum.
A light tanned skin with an aspect that just can be described as strangely natural and perfect, a healthy skin and this smooth and tanned skin housed some black tattoos as circuits travels through my whole body giving a noble and wild aspect.
And as I got undressed, some perfectly formed muscles envolving every part of my body as the sexiest armor you could ever see and adorned wich those circuit natural tattos symbol of the ruler of vanaheim.
This "tattoos" are like the veins of the Vanirs, the Vanirs were originally a pure energy race in the 8th Grade when I got the Energy Domain, but a lot of problems emerged even if that form was more powerful, so when I obtained the Matter Domain I returned them to a semi-biological race with a physical form, semi-biological because the most of them organs are an ornament and the tattoos usually appears when the Vanirs access to the power of the energy that they had in the past, that's the reason why they look like circuits.
And the Reason Why I have them when I'm not using that power is related to my position as a ruler and the symbolism, yes, I can hide them but is a symbol of power and authority for my subjects to me to have them so I just maintained far from my face the most of time and I only reveal those in some important events that deserve a good presentation.
In the past that were the Rulers meetings that deserve a total presentation without hiding nothing or they would think that you are hiding something as a weakness or that you don't consider them.
I continue undressing myself and more muscles and tattoos were revealed, I think I look like some of those Greek statues but more perfect and with more musculature, and then, when I finally came to the low part of my body the only thing I thought was.
" The muscles aren't the only big thing here "
Then I dressed up another time because I need to see some persons to plan the what to do next and Valerine already call them to the meeting room.
…..
I arrived to the meeting room, there, is a long rectangular table with many persons around it, this are the leaders of the nation, high nobles that were selected to lead an important section of the government of Vanaheim, and the most of them are mainly ministers of their corresponding minister.
Excluding the other members of the "royal family", the most of them are members of the most important noble families of the era, and big shots who decide things that can change the life of uncountable people.
In the end of the table a chair higher than the others, that is my chair, and at the sides next to me are two chairs, one for Valerine at the right that means that she is my right hand, and the other one to the prime minister, the Duke Balrus, the second greatest authority in Vanaheim, at least in paper.
Then the other ministers are organized in order of importance according to the reason of the reunion, with the ones that probably would not talk at the end of the table.
I sat in my chair and started to talk.
"Now that all of us are here, I want to talk about the future of Vanaheim, as all of you know, Vanaheim is actually in what we think is another universe that fortunately seems to follow the standard laws of the physics, but as all you know this is not all that we need to worry, so I want to hear your opinions and possible solutions to some problems." I said, and the reunion officially started.
The first one to talk was the minister of alimentary resources that is in charge of watch that the nation never go hungry and manage the production, storage and distribution of the food in Vanaheim and its related planets if the case is presented.
He started " Vanaheim will not face a famine or similar Thanks to our self production of aliments on the planet and our subspaces of production and storage, so it will be enough food to maintain our population in almost any situation but the production will not be the same because the lost of the subordinate planets, so some foods will be non able to get anymore because of that losing a part of the food diversity, besides that all is okay " He said.
Then the General Resources Minister did some similar comments, but because we cannot farm metals and crystals and the use of matter reorganization machines is a non-viable waste of energy, even with the storages we will need to found some planets to do some resource gathering because the big amounts of resources that Vanaheim use in their day to day.
after she end her talk and with that the talk about the resources, because the energy is something that is not a big problem because I already did a temporal solution, the Finance Minister started to talk.
" Honestly I want to praise his majesty due to his wisdom, even if the trade routes with other planets disappear, we can survive with our own resources, but I didn't know how to avoid the problem that this event will trigger to the economy, but with the actions of his majesty, this problems will be postponed until we can find a permanent solution." He said, and I smiled because his words and because I put some effort in that plan.
Yes, all the thing of the party was a countermeasure.
A countermeasure against one of the greatest threats that a country can face.
An economic recession.
