As the most prosperous city in the entire Buraford kingdom and also it capital, the founding king named it Utopia as he wanted it to be a place where all citizens can live in peace and security, well there was a time like that also but not in current era, due to poor policy of the current king, who have turn is back on his citizens, entire kingdom is facing a economic crises and social instability.

Adding to the fire are corrupted nobels who are exploring the citizens by making them pay high tax rate, while enjoying their luxurious life style;

With no one taking care of law and justice, nobles are doing as they please, having no one is their to look out for citizens.

Currently in Royal palace

King chamber

AHHHHHHH

With a sudden noise the silence of the palace was broken.

Hearing the noise coming from the king chamber the palace guards rushed toward the chamber, to King body lying on the bed without any heartbeat and a deep red line around the neck of king.

Seeing this guard captain stood up and looked around the chamber and found the doors of balcony open and hurriedly order the guards

"Alert the guard at city gates and entire city guards to capture anyone found suspected, no one is allowed to leave the city before the person who assassinated king is found same goes for the palace worker"

"Someone go and inform the princes and princesses"

following the order guards chamber

while the guard captain looked at the opened door of balcony and he stood at balcony and looks at the dark clouds covering the moon and the bright and colourful city.

"Capital is about to become chaotic"as he went outside the chamber without even looking at the King again.

In administration office of City Almon,

The office was adjourned to Duke office,

with white marble floors, a red carpet was placed on top of it;

As window where open, sound of whispering of winds can be heard with sunlight coming inside the office making entire office refreshing and clam.

In the middle a table and chair is present,

Unaware of all this, Kai was sitting beside Diana who was busy with her work, as she carefully read every paper and sign which needed to be signed and which is not.

Diana has already taken back the command as chief executive of administration department which she have left for so much time.


In her absence, bundles of paperwork has gathered, which requires her permission.

it can be clear be seen on face with how much serious, she takes care of her duty.

Kai who was looking at the gaint bundle of paper and completely speechless and can't help but think"it was a good luck that I never have any interest in becoming a government officials or I have to deal with this type of bundles of paper work"

Just then a old man with white hair entered the office, he was a little fatty, with a height of 150cm, his face has wrinkles beside his eyes and forehead.

He was breathing heavily seems like he have run all the way here, on his right hand, he was carrying a thick folder as he put it on the table and presented it to Diana

"Lady Diana, here is all the file about the economic, social and war power report of eastern region"said the old man as he take long breath.

looking at the old man and the folder Diana nod

"Norman, thanks you for collecting all reports do quickly, go and sit on the sofa, I will look into it"

"No,lady no need to thank the old man I am just doing my duty"as he sits on the sofa beside Kai and started to chat as Diana go through the files

"Nice to meet you Mister Kai" as Norman extended his hand to shake hands with Kai

"Nice to meet you also sir Norman"

as they again sit down on the sofa

"it nice to meet you mister, I have heard how you saved miss Diana life, for that I am grateful for you"as Norman lower his head before Kai

"No need for that I just did what I wanted to do"said Kai

Hearing Kai response Norman nod as he looked at Diana who is going through the document attentively, seeing this Norman smiled.

"You seem to have known Diana for a long time sir Norman"

with a smile Norman said"I have been here since I has 22year old, when I have just passed the government examination and was assigned to Almon city, that time Lady Diana was just a small girl of 3year old, it was I who taught her administration management"

"Now that 3year girl have become 100years taking full control over administration authority of eastern region" said Norman

"So what do you do currently sir Norman"asked kai

"I have been taking care of Miss Diana work in her absence all these day, but now she had recovered, so I am taking care of information collection department"

"Oh! information collection department"repeated Kai

"Yes, its our work to collect all information of eastern region and report it to Almon city, we go for a survey yearly throughout the eastern region to analysis social welfare, economic conditions, land condition for agriculture, growth of population, military power of region etc"

Hearing that Kai was surprised to think they collect information on various sections of life, from whole eastern region.

"Must be a tough work to do"asked Kai

"Ya it can be tough some time as we have to analysis it also, so we have to collect all information within particular time and send it to administration office so that they can see the progress as well as the drawbacks and find ways to solve them"

As Kai and Norman where talking, time passed by,

one hour later, Diana finished reading all the reports and was having a headache looking at the report and call Norman.

"Look like this year condition has become worst then the previous year, if this continues people will start to protest".

"yes, lady I have seen the report and come to the same conclusion"Norman replied

"What did the capital said about it?"

"It's the same, lady as ever"

BANG, as Diana punched the table and the table breakdown as all the paperwork gets scattered on the floor.

"DOES THE KING DON'T CARE IF HIS CITIZENS DIED DUE TO HIS DECISION, IT ALL READY TO MUCH FOR THEM TO BARE THE TAX AND NOW THIS, DO HE WANTS ALL PEOPLES OF EASTERN REGION TO DIE"shouted Diana.

Looking at Diana reaction Norman was also feeling helpless, when he read the report he also had same reaction.

"Norman, is this report from capital real"

Hearing Daina,Norman nod with helpless expression

"From my source of information, I got this info that they are going to implement this rule from Next year"said Norman

"The current condition of Eastern Region is already not good with such high tax and revenue, if they implement it's policy, entire eastern region people will not even have means to live".

Listening to Norman and Diana discussion, Kai can also understand that eastern region is facing a great problem

As Kai stood up from the sofa and approach them

"You guys are seems to be discussing about a very great problem, do you mind if I join the conversation also"said Kai standing beside Daina and Norman

"Mister Kai, we don't mind, we are just thinking of solving a great problem but cannot come up with any solution"said Norman

Seeing Kai also interested in this topic Diana begin to explain about the problem faced by eastern region.

"Kai our eastern region is different from other regions of kingdom as entire region is fully under the command of Almon Family with no other nobel in this region"

"But there is a reason behind that, Almon family ancestor was great commander under founding king, to the King he was like a brother to him and asked him to choose any land he wants, so ancestor asked King to give command of entire eastern region as he wants to protect the people from attack of magic beasts"

"So he was given command of entire eastern region permanently, making it such that no noble can rule or own any property in Eastern Region and to manage whole region they adopted, a system of city management;

with great city of ALMON at the peak of authority under which city of different zones will work, under them will be towns and villages, all of zones management is done by these city, while cities report to Almon City;

basically it's like this Almon> zone city> town> village, this is how system operates";

"Ever since that it has never changed but the current king who became king 50years ago under the support of Duke William who ruled over the western region"

"With other nobels support, Duke William made King passed a law and changed the entire tax and revenue collection of eastern region, when Founding king passed the eastern region he passed a law that if anyone wants to rent a land and work on it they have to pay 25%of thier income to the capital and 10%must be paid to ALMON city for development and management of this region,

making it total 35% of the total income which they have to pay"

"Miss Diana let me say from here on"Norman request Diana

"Mister I but it changed 50years ago with kings new policy with 35% they also have to give tax to capital, there logic was that 25%they pay as land rent and 10%as tax to Almon city but they don't pay any tax to capital and implemented 20% of the income as tax for capital making it, 55% of their total income"

"This creates a problem for comman people, to regulate it, Almon city reduced its tax from 10%to 5% as lower than 5% was not possible as we also needed to manage whole eastern region"

"But now they want to implement a new policy that we have to pay 20%as security to maintain eastern division of military"

"If this is implemented 70%income as tax, which will break the back of entire eastern region economy which will effect all people of eastern region" said Norman bitterly

"What will does noble get from this?"asked kai Kai to Diana

"To them eastern region is a big cake but they are not able to take even a single bite of it"

"They want to make entire eastern management collapse and want to make a new system"

"All this to satisfy thier own desires"

Bang

as the door of administration office open and Alfred entered the room

"All of you come with me, just now a order has been given from capital, Father is waiting for us in his office"

Hearing that Diana and Norman looked at one other, did it got implement

"Let's go meet father first and see what is the message"

As they follow Alfred to Duke office.
