Turmoil

Sun shines. birds chirping , it was a fine morning for the Novagen II. He woke up in his newly built palace east of Townsvalley , With it's doors made of Gold and bed made of very best of the best Townsvalleyian wool.

"Good Morning .Majesty"

"Good morning to you Tana, Where are the Kids?"

"uhah. those cuties are playing outside"

"do you want me to call them?" - Tana

"No, it's okay" - King

"You know Majesty, that changing the 100 year old currency has turned whole family against you?"

- Tana

"Listen..... I donot want to talk about it right now, My decisions are far better than any king,past and future,it's not your job to tell me anything understand?"

"yes... yess. your majesty"- Tana

"I need breakfast .then I'm gonna head out"- King

Every King had the perks of being a "king" .but King Novagen II lived a luxurious lifestyle , he clapped with his hands, 5 servants showed up, presented his slippers ,they were made of finest foreign materials with Custom silver design, the design was like a flower but with blades on each corner of it. costing him 30,000 Sols, All of this was recorded because this king specifically liked record keeping. His travel from his court to the city was as majestic as one could be, 5,000 men stood to clear a path for him from his court to the newlands (capital) city, but something astonishing happened

"Your majesty , are you sure?"- asked a soldier

"yes, please leave me be in this city"- King

He roamed through the city, went to markets and people were very nice to him, he was glad the ancestors built the city well. the market prices were favourable to the consumers and there was no corruption. analysing this, King returned home satisfied.

------------

The next morning, nation was in shock ,the announcement came in from the court of NOVAGEN II palace. the headline was

KING HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THE NATION IS NOW A MONARCHY WITH NOVAGEN FAMILY AS RULER OF THE COUNTRY

In a coffee shop there was chatter

"Do you think this is the right king for the people?" person 1

"i dont know man, confusing times" person 2

Similar chatter was heard throughout the towns.

--------------

13 members of the novagen family chair their own meeting.

the 13 members met in Newlands,they sat on their chairs,the table was round ,made of wood, it was like an average family meeting,the Family couldn't afford the expensive products due to Heavy spending on luxurious goods by The King. the following was the discussion

Shakil Stood up and in a fit of rage spoke

"WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS, WE ARE BROTHERS AND THE THINGS OTTOMAN IS DOING RIGHT NOW, HAS CAUSED US BILLIONS OF HEKTES , LOOK AT US, WE CANNOT EVEN AFFORD A NICE MEETING"

"settle down shakil, if we get angry, the result will be family war. and our Kingdom will be overthrown by some other neighbouring country" - Said another member named Hakem

as he stood up quickly and put his hand on shakil's shoulder to calm him.

"Now, Listen to ME brothers, We donot need to wage war, but we can try to talk to him and ask him the reason of this quick uninformed decisions" - said ATHEN

"Point noted Athen , next" - Said Shakil

"I think we should gather atleast 100 members of the family and protest in his majesty's palace, my opinion only ok?" - Said Beth

"Objection!"- said Athen

"State your point of view" - Hakem

"She is clearly asking too much, 100 people means that this Meeting will go out to the public. and a single news about this can dismantle our monarchy and hardwork of our ancestors" - Athen

"Well clearly only 13 members are not enough so we have to risk it, otherwise who knows what this idiot will do" - Beth

"SILENCE BETH" - Hakem

"WHY?" - SCREAMED BETH

"He is our big Brother. NO matter what ,we have to show him respect, You better check yourself , we are better than that" - Hakem

"Okay okay , your points are noted" - Athen

"Hakem, you look very mature today, state your points" - Yurye

"Yes, Yu" Hakem takes a deep breath

"okay, in my opinion we should hold an official meeting with the King and discuss our economy but slide this topic in the discussion too, that way he will rethink his decision and we will stay together"

"Do we all agree?" - Yurye

"Yes" - said 12 members

But one member cleared his throat and spoke

"what is the fuss about...." beth interrupted in the middle,

"FUSSS, FUSS? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ZEN?"

"BETH , CONTROL YOUR TEMPER" - Athen

"now, i shall speak" - ZEN

"Clearly, this change can be easily reverted , it's just a name, nothing else, the value remains the same.I suggest we wait ,there are no major changes, in my opinion the monarchy establishment decree is good for us. LISTEN TO ME BROTHERS, Let's be patient for a while, and let's monitor his moves, let's discontinue our efforts right now, and let's wait" - ZEN

"DISMISSED" - Announced Hakem

"BUT....." -

"BETH , wait ok?" - said ZEN

"Fine"

In the court

King was talking to someone in his personal bedroom

"Master , are you sure this is the right time?"

"No, I'm not sure, that's why i have called you, please take care" - King

"Yes Majesty I will"

Two days went by normally, third day there was a meeting held between King and Mayor of The Newlands city. The Mayor Told the king that the city was running out of funds, and although currently there are no issues, but soon they will have to survive on loans or dissolve the government of Newlands eniterly and then the King will directly supply necessary items to the city. But King reassured him that People are very happy in townsvalley and he should not worry about these things.

The News Headlines said some very offensive things to the king

"in two days, King reportedly married Thirty of his servants and fired 100 servants and stoned them to death, the reason was not disclosed , the King denied these allegations but we donot think that this event did not happen" local news report which then got shut down by the Govt. for spreading false news and violence.

in his court , night 10pm , King was looking outside the palace window and thought to himself

"My Goals are beyond the Novagen Family, I will fulfill them no matter the cost, The north,south and east will flourish, I am going to face uprising , i am very well aware of the plotting against my Reign within the family..." He was interrupted by his wife Zenith (not to be confused with ZEN. he is a male)

"Your tea , Majesty" she tries to leave

"Wait Zenith"

"yes, your majesty"

"Can i share something with you?"

"ofcourse"

"What do you think will happen to all my wives and my wealth if everything crumbles and breaks down?" King asked

"If you truly are faithful to your servants,God,and your wives. nothing will happn, you will have enough strength to battle everyone and everything" - Zenith

"Thanks, That's all i needed" - King

"King, Can i ask You something?" - Zenith

"yes, my subject, ask" - King

"why do you think we will all breakdown ? , is everything okay?

"i was just wondering , nothing else, do i have to be professional and civilised all the time?, i need a break too" - king smiles

"Yeah, I'm sorry" - Zenith

"no it's okay" - King

--- 4th year of King Novagen II ---

King Novagen Suddenly appeared on all the TV channels, breaking news came in . he said this to the people

"Oh people, This is a long talk between you and me, I am Ottoman Rashid, the King of Townsvalley, I have to inform you of a decree which i think is crucial to all of you and I should be the one to personally tell you this but before that let me tell you a few things first, I renamed Currency from hekte to sol , i know my family members donot follow this, I also established monarchy of the Novagen family, which they all like, But we must progress and do great things together, therfore today i have to tell you that things are going to change whether you like it or not, this a major thing i want you to understand , i have spent hundreds of billions of sols trying to improve and create new palaces, do you know why? so whenever a foreigner comes to townsvalley, he is blown away by our craftsmanship and wealth. Our old policies and old traditions are too much to handle , they are just enough to make a man crazy, we must change with time and thankfully i am here to enable us to do that,hereby i present you the holy decree by the King's court , we will take 64% of your sols whenever you recieve them in the form of income, prices will adjust according to 64% sales tax, we need funds to live , do you know why? because you are very rich so you can pay that much easily, and currently ,Our Kingdom has only 1 billion sols left in reserves, we will go bankrupt in a month, I wanted to spend most of the sols for you, which I did, and now it's your time to help me build more projects for you,Donot be in shock please, the price rise will only help you and us, because our balance of payment current account will be in surplus after this hike, all of the people earn 60.000 on average which is alot when your currency is this strong.so no excuses. This is your Majesty's Decree and any resistance against my order will result in harsh penalties , thank you"

The news quickly spread , tensions raised , and people held on to their savings, many people left the country ,

there was one person, he was wearing a hat, was in tuxedo sitting in a local food market outside of a five star restaurant, his eyes were darkened due to sunlight coming from behind,he read this one headline with whispering voice and smiled,

"The beginning of a Chaos"
