Governor insist!

4th May 1574

"I'm telling you, this meeting will be far more important than everything you have achieved here so far!"

Sitting down at the chair inside my own house, Jan was barely holding back his anger when I dared to refuse his request. After all, it was the pinnacle of what we always wanted, to get the crown to sponsor our investments!

"My lord, I can't leave right now. There is simply too much work! The carpentry is already in the process of making, the concrete is finally produced, I don't think there is even a point to mention the fact that not only our steam horses are produced at a rate of one per day, but if everything goes just like I project it will, instead of lacking the infrastructure to finish our projects, we will soon start running out of the raw, base materials like ore or fresh wood!"
