Chapter 78 - A little happiness
[2 AR July 10]
Although the Ivo estate was under construction, only preliminary work was done and the frame was built, the rest of the work was not carried out. This was due to the fact that Ivo wanted his house to be one of the best, and this requires experienced builders and quality materials.
Although the people of Atreus are already capable of making magnificent houses, all the time they have worked only with wood, so they do not know at all about how to properly use stone in construction.
So Ivo decided to create cement and brick. Since there were mountains near the city, there were no problems with resources. These were mainly clay, gypsum, and limestone. Thanks to these simple materials, the construction of the city will be significantly accelerated.
In addition, in the warehouse in the workshop after the production of iron, a lot of slag was formed, thanks to this slag, Ivo, in addition to simple bricks from firing clay, began to produce a cinder block.
Although a cinder block is not as beautiful as a simple brick, it can be used to make solid foundations and walls for tall buildings. Now that the builders had the necessary materials, Atreus eagerly set about building the city so that his descendants would be remembered as the chief architect of the city of Esnpolis.
[2 AR 13 August]
In addition to building the city, the council also began planning the further development of the valley. Since it will not be possible to settle all people in one city, Ivo proposed to build villages on the territory of the Empire.
The reason for this proposal is that there simply isn't enough place in the city to create even larger fields and farms, so the best option would be to leave food supplies to the various villages.
And the first decision of the council was to re-equip the outpost into a real fortress, which will protect the capital from all attacks.
Of course, the enemy still needs to break through to the fortress itself, because the council plans to create several more cities and fortresses closer to the south, but so far they are focused on the former outpost.
After discussion, it was decided to name this place the Citadel of the Foal to honor the memory of the horse tribe and show that the Empire is the new future of all tribes, including the horse tribe.
Since now all the builders are busy building the city, it was decided to appoint several people to prepare the landscape of the fortress. These people will dig ditches for crowns, level hills, etc.
Now the region where the capital was located was called [North Region], and to the south of the citadel is now [Central Region], later this region will be divided into [South Region], and in order not to confuse the region with the Hellenistic states, it was now decided to call all southerners Latins.
[2 AR September 10]
It should be as calm a day as usual, but it wasn't. Today is a special day for Ivo, because his wife is giving birth.
Ivo walked restlessly from side to side in his house, and loud screams came from the next room. Kato was next to him to support him, because he knows the excitement when you have a baby.
But it cannot be said that he was also not worried, because in that room his grandson is born. There is no doubt that this is the grandson, since thanks to magic, already at 6 months old, Ivo was able to determine the child's vitality.
Finally, Melania, the very first apprentice of the shaman, left the room. Although she did not become a sage of the tribe, she is still considered an experienced and well-educated magician.
Since she is the oldest and most experienced among magicians, Ceres asked her to become a midwife to help with childbirth. Mel did not resist and quickly agreed.
Leaving the room, she said "Ivo, you have a beautiful boy, let's go inside."
Ivo nodded and went inside with even greater excitement. Ceres was lying on the bed in the room, holding the baby wrapped in diapers with a wide smile.
The most amazing thing about this room is that now there is cotton fabric everywhere, since Ivo has finally started the production of textiles. But it doesn't matter now.
Ivo approached the bed anxiously. Ceres, noticing the constrained movements of her husband, laughed slightly, and then said, "Take our son in your arms, he must see his father."
Ivo nodded and held out his shaking hands to the child, and then gently took it. You can understand him, he was an orphan all his life and he never held babies in his arms, what can we say that this was his first child in both lives.
Holding the baby in his arms, Ivo suddenly remembered about his sister, who sadly died due to illness, a miserly tear flowed from his eye, deep down he once again prayed for the well-being of his deceased sister's soul, and then wiped a tear and lifted the baby with a smile to the air.
Although the baby cried all the time, he felt calmer in the arms of his parents, and when Ivo lifted him above his head, he even cheered him up a little. Therefore, Ivo loudly said, "I name you Alexander from the house of Esnor, son of Tsar Ivo and Tsarina Ceres. Maybe one day you will reach such heights that everyone will call you Alexander the Great "
After his words, Ivo gently kissed his son on the forehead. Having passed the child into the hands of his wife, Ivo said "Tell the people of the Empire that Tsarevich Alexander was born, in honor of this I am arranging a great feast that will last 3 days."
Kato grinned and then left the room to give the order to the guards.
In the meantime, Ivo decided to see the status of all the close people who are now surrounding him.
