At King's Court

King and his guest sips tea

"So Ottoman, What's your plan now?"

"I don't know , You tell me....

ZEN"

"HMM, it seams like people really hate taxes. We could ..... stop them by force"

"ARE YOU CRAZY ZEN, No way"

"Ottoman, only time will tell....only time...hahhahaha"

King's face gets red as he thinks about it

"Tell you what, ottoman, How about you announce that other thing too, Hit them when they're weak, They have other problems, surely no one cares about your family now"

"ZEN, do you think this will work?"

"well ,if you wanna doubt , then don't do it. you'll lose the chance" Zen Smiles and sips tea.

King Takes a very very deep breath.

"Call the press, I'll address My Kingdom"

Press visits king's court

The King gives the following address

"My People, I have to issue you a decree. The Next King will be MY son. Name will be disclosed soon, Please , Be patient. this might be a burden you but after 5 years , this will produce good results.Also , The armed forces have closed all land connections to the country PLEASE STOP PROTESTING. , Further decree Will be issued soon"

King ,After addressing the nation , went to bed and took a sound sleep. The Protest went on for two weeks , But , as predicted, The protests grew stronger and larger. People from all over the kingdom gathered in Townsvalley, At first, The Kingdom Police tried to control the situation ,arresting hundreds of citizens,opening banks and shops beating the people and trying to not let them get out of their houses. they closed borders of all the cities. But no use. the numbers kept on increasing, couple millions were reported to be in the protests. People were so strong in strength that they Broke police barriers , and continued to destroy property including houses ,cars and other services.on The fourth week , Monday, People saw no response from the government so they hit the stock market streets , Shutting down stock market was the biggest blow on the economy of townsvalley, Many people resisted closing the buildings , they were brutally beaten up. protestors called them traitor to the state and the family . Law system was compeletely broken. People carried fire arms , killed soldiers and citizens alike. The situation was getting out of hand but the king resisted and told the police to Not open fire ,But the plan seemed to be working as they didn't care enough about the Monarchy and Novagen Family. they wanted low tax rates , it was mainly because tax on everyone includes businesses and factories, so 70% increase in prices means that the people who pay , for example 30 sols for bread now have to pay almost 60 Sols for it. and that's just estimates. the black market, increase in supply caused prices to rise to unpredictable levels. The news covered the story like this:

tensions were highest on the fourth week of the protest. Protestors Were questioning why the wealth of a Billion Sols worth Family reduced to mere hundred millions. one protestor said that (and he was in tears when he said this), His brother sacrificed his life for Townsvalley and This is what the Kingdom did to him.

another protestor said that they were Standing up against a terrorist group that ruled the country for years.

These are difficult times , it is advised to move from this country to some other peaceful country

Clearly The King new about this , The day is Saturday, And King Novagen Sits with Zen for a chat

"I don't Think Kingdom can survive much longer ottoman"

"Hmm"

"Hmm? really ottoman, really? , you should consider my Advice ottoman".

"ZEN, ..."

"....."

"Fine , Let's do it Zen , Let's do as you say."

"Ottoman, If the news go out before tomorrow morning, The Kingdom will definitely not survive, understand Otto?"

"DONOT DISRESPECT ME BROTHER" - Ordered the King

"I will respect you when you gain your lost respect, also the money ,our wealth is now exhausted , Brother." - Zen

"oh , don't be angry ottoman, Wait for the morning" - Zen

Zen leaves the Court and return to his own newly built palace. Made of Silver and bronze , 200,000yds in size. two storey building and atleast 2,000 servants.

They Both sleep , A sound sleep, ... sound sleep indeed.

--------

Protests become so bad that on Sunday , People literally reach the palace.

But it was no use , They wanted monarchy gone, ZEN reassured him that everything will be in his majesty's favour.

For this , ZEN prepared the army to follow the plan , Luckily, All protestors gathered In capital city , So ZEN prepared a plan, Four groups to Cover four different corners of the city and close in to the center of the city, And the fifth group of Mustang Launch multiple airstrikes throughout the city center, Catch the unarmed people and Throw them in containers and throw them out of the country and Kill them if they try to get back in. ofcourse warn them first.

The Chaos was about to turn into something very dangerous and Big. in terms of Kingdom's wealth, It was the last amount of money they had , And they spent it on The Army. The Next Step was to take loans from other countries. Due to this the Economy, the hallmark of Townsvalley, Reduced .... reduced heavily , the stocks fell and no one knew Which Currency to use, transport,health, education, fundings for these things reduced to zero or a few hundred, townsvalley faced it's first ever recession.The Alarming situation of the country was never reported to the news or the world as nation imposed a sort of curfew. things were getting worse , But according to Zen, it was going the right way.
