The next day, before the breakfast, Mark met the King in private and had expressed his wish regarding the reward.
He asked the King to give him an island that isn't in danger of drowning at the present so that he may develop a manufacturing facility on top of it. He also added another condition that no natives are living on this island.
At first, Mark was a little bit worried when he saw a change in the King's expression but then, he sighed in relief as the king gave him the word that he will acquire it right away but it's just that only the prime minister has a clear idea about the demographics of the kingdom.
Mark patiently waited until the morning assembly at 9 o'clock and was summoned to the court at 10 o'clock once the ministers were done reporting to the King about how their departments are faring now. Some boasted while some requested the King to change the policies.
