Chapter-4

While I was looking through the city journal I found that there were several misconduct in the books. Tax being collected twice, unusual city expenses, large amount of debt with ridiculous interest rate. This looks like that the entire city is corrupted, Its been year like this and this fools together were fooling me around. I thought my city revenue capacity is huge but it seems that its running low. If I hadn't meet Anna then surely this fools would eat up this city in few year without me knowing about it.

As I look deeper into the journals and file I came to know that the most corrupted official is The mayor and city guard.They were depleting the treasury of the city with unusual expenses like cost of generating tax, cost of mayor safety, cost of guard captain walking around, cost for injuries etc. Despite that our city is no longer at war with other city the cost of injuries is higher that of war injuries.

They have been keeping me in dark for years, I will have them pay for this surely.How could I be so stupid, how, how ,how…I thought my city folks were happier. But no they actually aren't, its all because of my ignorance and stupidity.

While I was kid, my family used to live in Kathmandu. Kathmandu was most corrupted city that time. The lord was brutal, he used to kidnap every beautiful women that he sees in the street. Rape them, and if the resist he use to cut there boobs, pill their skin or worst tie them naked and let the guard and his servant fuck them. At the city I have many memories, memories that still gives me goose bump. Me and vary at that time both vowed to rescue every women of the city and to protect innocent people. But now that I have failed, I have failed to protect my own citizen. Vary was my best friend died protecting innocent people. If he was n my place now then he surely won't have done what I am doing till now.I let my innocent citizen suffer, all of this is because of my stupidity.I am stupid, God won't forgive me know' all though citizen were were torture by this fool is pin in my head, my poor citizen surely cursed me before they die. But from today they no longer will suffer I will rise again to protect them but this time I will do it honestly. I will save my city and protect the future of every men, women and child living in this city.

Someone knocks the door.

"Who's there?"

"Lord its me your maid lucy"

"Come in"

Place food on the table.

"My lord you seems like your are facing some issue"

Lucy is the only person that I can trust in this whole castle. I no she has a crush on me from the beginning,she takes care of me.

"Lucy the [sighs] whole city is corrupted everyone of my subordinates is stabbing me on my back."

"Well my lord it took you much time to notice this but from day you were given lordship all the personal started to damage your reputation,I have heard that this people whom you call your subordinates are planning to overthrow you."

"Whattt?????Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"I tried to tell you about this but most of the time you were outside the city and when you come you were all surrounded by the guards.The guards of the mayor.I even try to write it down,since I am uneducated no one helped me to write it, there is nobody that I can trust in this castle."

"Well,it looks like the city is in big trouble.If they are conspiring against me.What should I do now??"

'AT THIS POINT SIR YOU SHOULD POINT OUT THE PERSONS WHO COULD HELP YOU'

"Excellent idea Anna"

Lucy looks in confused.

"Lord did I say anything?"says in terrified tone.

"No no lucy you didn't I am talking with myself"

I start to think who is patriotic ,who could be on my side and help me.

"Lucy…can you help me?"

"My lord I am here to help you"

"Then please find out subordinates who are patriot toward this state. Find them and tell them to meet me at the forest entrance in midnight."

"But lord how can I do it I am just a maid"

"You are the only person that I can help me now.Please do it secretly. Only advance those who are patriot if you make a mistake then they will find about this"

[gathering courage Lucy nodes her head and start to walk out from the room]

'I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE IT BY YOUR OWN'

"Don't worry Anna she is perfect for the job,she is always scare, scare means cautions."

In the meantime we should plan what to do next.
