In the grand chamber of the castle, Maximus gazed at the officials.
"Welcome, esteemed gentlemen," Maximus said in a serious tone.
"Today, we are here to talk about the concerns and problems since we annexed the city under the previous Fearie Kingdom."
The old officials, adorned with elegant attires, listened quietly as they gazed at Maximus, the new ruler of the kingdom.
"Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered during this period of time?" he asked, sweeping his eyes across the room.
"First and foremost, my lord," spoke one of the officials, Doran. "We have difficulties controlling different cities, needing several days or even weeks for our fastest messengers to receive news."
He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts before adding, "In the past, the king of the Fearie Kingdom had the nobility to govern their own territories autonomously, without many problems."
