Chapter 253: The Thorin’s telling lies again.

What are you doing to protect us from the foreign mages?

This was a question that the lord mage was tired of hearing for it had been asked three times already. Besides the question being annoying, it came out with a tone that screamed entitlement.

"I am not one of your knights that is hired to protect you in your sleep. The mage estate does not exist to serve the nobles. If you want mage protection pay a fee and we will assign mages to your estates."

The Lord mages answer came as a shock to the noble lords sitting at a round table in the tower. Nearly frothing at their mouths, they slapped the table, gasped, jumped up and all but two raised their voices in protest.

The noble lords raised their voices once again in protest. The idea of ministries had already been introduced by Roland, it was one of the new changes he planned to make while the king while was still unconscious.

Work had already started on this with the ministries of business and trade, education, health, security and transport being established officially only a day ago. Today’s meetings were about the rest of the ministries and how they would be run.

When asked where the idea had come from, Roland had laid the credit at the feet of Medoris, which was not a false claim because they had done this two years ago.
