The Fainted Arshley and Edward's Hatred
In the throne room...
Wearing a loose white saint's robe that subtly accentuated her curves, Arshley sat on the throne with a nonchalant expression, her long legs crossed. Her gaze remained fixed on Edward, who stood before her, his expression respectful.
"So, how did this period fare, Edward?" she asked calmly.
Edward slowly raised his head and replied with deference, "This period has seen significant improvements, Saint. Most notably in the economic sector, which grew by 8% compared to the previous period. Several factors contributed to this, but the most notable were the increased productivity in agriculture, trade, and livestock. Additionally, progress in the health sector, fueled by the large number of mages graduating from the academy, has greatly contributed to the welfare of the people."
Upon hearing this, a relieved smile spread across Arshley's lips, and she looked at Edward with a hint of appreciation.
