Substitute

It is now evening and I told Laur to rest and I will do the cooking for tonight.

Damn, that was really a huge bomb dropped on me. Laur is pregnant. I am going to be a father. I am so happy about the idea of having a child. I always felt that having a child will make our marriage life complete.

Now, the problem is that I have still a lot of responsibilities. The Mudland Union is still starting and as the Chairman of the Union and the Leader of the Crimson Town, I still have a lot of work to do. Now that I think about it, Laur probably needs to take a break on her job as on the Civil Services since she is pregnant. I really need to bring my A-game to make the Mudlands better and to be also a great father to my child.

The next day I brought Caire at my house to check on the actual status of Laur's pregnancy.

"Laur, how long have you started feeling tired?"

"I think it has been over 2 weeks aunt."

"You must have overworked her Wreck."

I cannot deny that. We have been extremely busy last month. Since I am the chairman of the Mudland Union, I was extremely busy and did a lot of overtime, and Laur was with me the entire time assisting me. Now that I knew that she was working while being pregnant makes me guilty.

"I am very sorry Laur. I was not able to take care of you."

"It is fine. I know that we need to work hard since we are still starting."

"I am going to not let you work on the Civil Service until our child is born."

"What?! No, I need to work Wreck! If you had a hard time working while I was with you what about the idea of you doing all the work alone?!"

"I am not going to risk your life and our child's life! I just need you to rest well and let me do all the work as your husband and as your Chief in this town."

Laur was clearly upset about what I said but it needs to be said.

"Caire. When do you think will be our child be born?"

"Fairy Pregnancies takes about 3-5 months. I figured that she has been pregnant for about 1 month so on average your child will be born within the next 2-4 months."

"So I just need to endure at most 4 months. Thank you Caire you may now go. Laur I am now leaving I still have a lot of work to do."

Laur simply ignored me.

As soon as I leave the house, I am thinking of a plan. I need someone to substitute Laur's job. I and Laur have been working on for the constitution or the main set of guidelines for the Mudland Union and we are still not yet done. I need someone capable of reading, writing, calculating, and creative thinking. I thought about hiring Listh but she has also been busy on the farm and also doing other paper works. I need someone who still has no definite job. I figured where to go. I headed towards the Crimson Academy.

I headed towards the Academy. I observed each class silently. I need to see the capabilities of the students and teachers. Just like I expected, I saw fine teachers that teach the new students well, but not on the level that impresses me, until I saw one.

I heard about one class that is said to be the most advanced classes here in the academy. I went to that class and saw only a few students being taught by a female elf in her twenties. As I listened to her lectures, I was so amazed. She was teaching the students about some lessons that are not included in my teachings. She is not simply teaching on how to just simply read, write, or calculate. She is teaching them how to apply those skills in everyday life. She is also teaching on how the Mudlands work. It is kinda weird teaching kids about government and its structure but ok. The problem is that most of her students are sleeping. Jackpot! Looks like I found my target.

I approached the teacher after her class.

"Good Day Elf Teacher."

She was surprised and said.

"Good day. Who are you-?! I am sorry for my insolence Lord Wreck."

She quickly reacted after recognizing me and kneeled.

"Oh, you do not need to kneel teacher. By the way, what is your name?"

"My name is Rael, my lord."

"Okay, Rael. I have observed your class earlier."

"Did I do something bad, my lord? Was I teaching the students, my lord?"

"No. It is actually the opposite. Let me ask you, Rael, where did you learn about your knowledge?"

"I was your former student, my lord."

"Really? Then how come you are teaching the students about advanced things such as calculating percentage when I never really expanded on those topics?"

"I was fascinated about those ideas so I studied really hard on how does that concept works and I eventually found out how my lord."

This lady is really competent. She was able to identify how to calculate percentage without help.

"Impressive. How did you know how each town of the Mudlands anyways?"

"About that sir. I traveled each town in the Union using the Terminals, which is a really brilliant idea sir, and when I was traveling I wrote down each and every strength and weakness of each town. I also wrote down their needs and wants to improve their lives, my lord."

This is the one. She is really perfect for the job. She is intelligent enough to on mathematics. She also has extensive knowledge of every town in the mudlands. She also has the brains of a creative thinker.

"Alright. You are hired."

"Pardon sir?"

"I am officially hiring you as my assistant and as a co-author for the constitution."

"Excuse me, my lord? Will I be working for you? And what is that constitution?"

"Basically you and I will be writing all the rules here in the Mudland Union. Are you willing to take the job?"

"What? I will be writing the rules for the land? I do not think I can do that sir?"

"Why? I will be paying you a much bigger salary than a teacher."

"I don't think I am capable of writing rules sir."

"Don't worry, I have evaluated your skills and I believe you can do it. Prove yourself wrong! You will be guaranteed a high position in the union and I can give you all the knowledge you need."

"Alright, sir. I will accept your offer since you believe in my skills."

"Great! Meet me at the meeting building tomorrow morning."

"Yes, my lord!"

I then bid my farewell. I found a gem. Rael was a very capable individual. I know she can do well. Just as I go outside the Academy, I was approached my Bubba.

"I have news for you, my lord."

"What is it Bubba?"

"My men who were assigned in the are of the orcs delivered me a message sir."

"Continue."

"My men said that the Master of the Orcs received a message."

"Gald? Where is it from?"

"It is from the Kingdom of Zione sir."
