The Vampire Kings Slave Mate

Chapter 47: Mary

“First and foremost, the most important part of taking care of others in your village is seeing what the other villagers need and making sure those needs are met. We had weekly meetings in my village and during those meetings we would list everything we had an abundance of, if someone needed something we would either give them the item free of charge or trade it for something they need. As of right now, it seems like the most important thing for these young lads is getting food to their family. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Do we have anyone who is able to supply food for another family?” I asked not expecting to get a response.

As I predicted no one answered. It didn’t surprise me, because from the look of things, it didn’t seem like the other villagers were better off.

“Okay, that’s alright. What we will do today, is gather some ingredients from each house, and make a soup large enough to supply everyone with a least one meal tonight. For those with younger children, if there is any extra we will package it and send it home with you. Tomorrow I will have some of the royal guards sent down to the market to gather food and other necessary items for everyone here.” I stated, listening as some mothers let out a cry of joy that their prayers had been answered.

I took another look around and this time I saw hope in the villagers eyes. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Hope that they would survive, that their family would no longer know what it was like to be wracked with hunger pains every night.

“Actually scratch that. I will send a written letter right now to the market, that everyone in this village be allowed to show at the market, free of charge for a year. I will have the vendors send an invoice to the palace and the items will be paid for from the royal bank. I am sure after a year of free items, your village will be better off and you’ll learn how to make a profitable income or at least grow your own food. I will personally come here weekly to check on the status of the village and make sure everyone is prospering. Now let us begin the preparations for our soup.” I stated smiling with what I hope was a comforting smile before turning my attention back to the two boys staring up at me.

“You there,” I gestured to the petite blond hair boy whose mother had gone without food for so long she didn’t know when she’d last ate, “grab the loaf of bread and break it in half, give half to the other boy and keep half for yourself. I’d like you to escort me to your home first.” I commanded, not leaving room in my tone for argument.

“Yes your highness.” The boy replied begrudgingly glaring at me with his big blue eyes. I couldn’t help but smile when I noticed that what I had originally thought was freckles across his nose, was actually dirt.

The boy quickly handed the other half the loaf of bread, before coming back to me.

“Do you mind if I hold your hand your majesty.” He asked, his ears tinging pink, “It’s just at this time of day, the roads are generally busy, and I don’t want to get separated.
