The Kingdom’s Future

"The kingdom's..future..?" I was surprised, to say the least. A king had come to me for advice after all.

"Yes, we've been a locked-up kingdom for far too long, rejecting advancements in technology just isn't the way forward. I wish to know your thoughts on the matter," he replied.

"What of the advisor?" I asked.

"I received a report from the bureau about the attack on the Fellsword estate, he was executed right after." He explained calmly.

"Right, I won't lie and say I hadn't lost faith in the kingdom, it seems like things are starting to go in the right direction now," I replied nonchalantly, I had no energy to watch my words around the king.
