The next day
Morning arrives, and the kingdom hums with renewed energy. The ministers, freshly revived yet already fully immersed in their duties, work with an efficiency.
A knock sounds at his door.
"Enter," Alix calls.
Draya steps inside, bowing slightly. "Your Majesty, reports from the ministers."
She hands him a neatly stacked set of documents. Alix flips through them, but before he can read the details, Draya speaks again.
"Thano and Lirik are especially efficient," she notes. "Thano has already organized a workforce for infrastructure projects, and Lirik is implementing strict economic policies to stabilize trade and tax collection."
Alix smirks. "Good. I expected nothing less."
Down in the administrative halls, Thano towers over a large table, surrounded by new talented monsters.
