Chapter 229: The last shard, at great cost.

Roland whistled as he sauntered up the stairs which led to the former royal castle of Nemoris. All around him, restoration work was ongoing to turn the ruined castle into a new castle, or almost new. Another fortnight had gone by and in that time, the affairs of Nemoris had been steadied.

Nemoris was now a city not a kingdom. The new city was being rebuilt in the shape of Eldoria. Statues of the former king had been brought down. The secret path between Eldoria and Nemoris was being paved into a wide cement road.

Already trade had been facilitated and people could move freely from Nemoris to other cities in Eldoria. Migrations had already started with some people moving into the new city and others moving out. Everything was moving positively and all they were waiting for was the return of the king and the empire would officially be declared one, under one emperor.

Roland could not wait for it to happen so that he could move back home. He missed Doria, it felt more like home than Nemoris. He was also tired of sleeping in a flying ship.

Those were the thoughts on his mind when he finally found his wife in the main hall of the palace, handling paperwork as she had been doing in the last two weeks.

"Are you still working?" He perched himself on the arm of the chair. His eyes perused through the list of names she was looking at and the large history book next to the list.

Sigrid had somehow found an old, torn book which was handwritten. In that book was proof of the fact that Nemoris was once a part of Eldoria. A king had sent his son to what was a fief at the time as a punishment for disobeying orders.

His son had built a wall around the fief and rebelled, turning Nemoris into an independent kingdom. Families had been separated, nobles that had been locked away in Nemoris lost their titles.

Now, Sigrid was locating the nobles and giving them back their legacy with Roland’s support. The king would be the final decision maker by officially entering these families into the records of Eldorian nobles.

As soon as Sigrid announced this activity, the Nemorians had been quick to forget the fact their kingdom had fallen. When they viewed some of their neighbors, friends and relatives becoming nobles, they crossed their fingers and hoped that this luck found them as well.

Another thing that had helped was the fact that Sigrid and Roland went around on foot, interacting with the people, listening to to grievances and kissing their babies. Television was also a tool being used to manipulate the masses.
