Novalia so far

Amir paced uncontrollably. He was doing all the best that he can but Hashim was always five steps ahead of him. Despite hiring the best strategist. 

Now Vego hated him for making their kingdom his lab rat. He almost got it, but Hashim turned the table at the last minute.

His father's death was in vain. His wealth begins to diminish. His business was all illegal but now was under the watch of his older brother that was so stiff with the law.

He wondered if he talked Amon out? But he didn't think he would listen. Amon would agree if it would be in his favor. Or if it would bring more wealth to him. 

While he was already wealthy. Hashim made him even wealthier. Plus, he's more cunning than he was. He would want to follow his technique, but Hashim no longer trusts him. So he has to do business the other way around.

He tried to copy the weapons they were making, but it's beyond the scope of his capability.
