First step

16th April 1574

"Here, now the area of Ropian officially belongs to you. Congratulations!"

As soon as I placed the last signature on the document, I stood up and grabbed extended Governor's hand, before shaking it decisively. Yet before I could even have a moment of happiness for achieving just a first step to the world domi… eee… my lands development and unification, Jan instantly turned my attention back to the topic we just spoke about.

"Tell me, please. What will be your first step, and what do you need to get it done as soon as possible? If we can use the gold to speed up the process of getting even more gold, then I won't mind investing my own resources. But I hope you do realise that by doing so, you will be getting quite a huge debt of my trust."

With governor putting the matter like that, instead of answering right away with some washed-up thanks or affirmation, I sat back down on the chair, and let my thoughts run amok.
