BECOMING THE VILLAIN'S SWEETHEART
epi-5
PHINEAS WINDHAM
Good morning, My Emperor!!
A young man in his early twenties enters the room with a radiant smile, adorned in a distinguished outfit
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
What is it Phineas?
Another man of the same age, seated in a commanding posture and exuding an air of authority from his dark, intense aura, demanded
PHINEAS WINDHAM
Huh, Sire, must our meetings always revolve around business? Might I not come and offer my greetings simply to bask in your presence?
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
Then you may return to your duties, once you've finished with your pleasantries
PHINEAS WINDHAM
Such a heartless ruler
He whispered beneath his breath
PHINEAS WINDHAM
Actually, I'm here to report on your work, My Majesty
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
Then continue..
PHINEAS WINDHAM
Your Majesty, Over the past month, we’ve seen significant progress in several key areas. The agricultural output has increased by 15%, thanks to the new irrigation systems we’ve implemented. Trade agreements with neighboring states have been successfully renegotiated, leading to a 10% rise in revenue
PHINEAS WINDHAM
Additionally, the recent reforms in the tax system have streamlined revenue collection and reduced administrative costs. Our diplomatic efforts have also strengthened our alliances, ensuring stability and fostering new opportunities for growth
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
Continue to monitor these developments closely and keep me informed of any significant changes or challenges
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
Regarding the case I instructed you to investigate, have there been any significant leads or clues that might shed light on the matter?
PHINEAS WINDHAM
Yes, My emperor, I've dispatched some of our most trusted spies to thoroughly investigate the isolated location. They have been monitoring it for some time now
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
And? Have they uncovered anything suspicious there?
PHINEAS WINDHAM
Indeed, My Emperor. They have reported discovering illicit underground activities involving vulnerable girls and women from across the kingdom
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
Human trafficking.....
PHINEAS WINDHAM
Yes, my Emperor
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
Then why have you not dispatched our guards to apprehend them?
PHINEAS WINDHAM
The matter isn't that easy my Emperor
PHINEAS WINDHAM
We have attempted to apprehend them previously, but they are linked to powerful businessmen who consistently obstruct our efforts. Additionally, they operate from a secret base that remains under surveillance, yet we have been unable to locate it precisely
Aurelian rose from his chair, growling with frustration at the thought that there are still individuals in the kingdom who do not fear his authority
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
Very well, then. This time, I will personally take charge to dismantle the entire group and demonstrate who truly holds the power
PHINEAS WINDHAM
My Sire, you'll take the charge this time?
AURELIAN BLACKWOOD
“Indeed, prepare yourselves. We will commence our mission tomorrow.”
PHINEAS WINDHAM
As you wish My Emperor...
