Present Day Jola,
As the days passed, the once barren land of Jola began to transform into a bustling city. Construction workers labored tirelessly under Eugene's direction, their hammers ringing out like a chorus across the landscape.
The first sign of progress was the towering structures that began to take shape across the city. Three-story buildings, each with their own unique design, began to rise up from the ground, like trees sprouting from the earth.
With each passing day, more and more buildings began to dot the skyline, each one a testament to the hard work of the construction workers and their leader, Eugene.
But it wasn't just the buildings that were taking shape in Jola. The greenhouse area, which would be used to grow crops for the city's residents, was nearing completion. Rows upon rows of vegetables and fruits could already be seen growing, ready to feed the hungry mouths of the city's inhabitants.
And as the city grew, so too did its defenses. The wall that surrounded Jola was near its completion, its massive stones rising up to protect the city from any potential threats.
As Eugene walked through the city, surveying the progress that had been made, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Jola was no longer just a dream in his mind, but a real, thriving city, full of life and hope.
And as he looked out at the horizon, he knew that there was still much work to be done. But he also knew that with the dedication of his workers, and his own unwavering determination, anything was possible.
==================================================
As I sit in my office, staring at the map of Jola on my desk, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by the challenges that lie ahead. It's true, we've made progress in developing our land and building up our infrastructure, but the fact remains: we don't have enough people.
I knew this would be an issue from the start. Jola is a large area, with plenty of potential for growth and prosperity, but without the manpower to make it happen, it all seems like a distant dream. And unfortunately, the solution isn't a simple one.
We can't just start trading with other kingdoms or cities. Not only would it attract unwanted attention, but it wouldn't solve the problem quickly enough. We need people, and we need them now.
I lean back in my chair, rubbing my temples in frustration. There has to be a way, I tell myself.
Suddenly a Zeppelin's image came into my mind but I know making a Zeppelin is impossible right now.
Excitement built within me as I considered the possibility of air travel in Jola. I knew it was a risky move, but the potential benefits were too great to ignore. With a hot air balloon, we could transport people and goods to and from Jola without attracting unwanted attention from potential enemies. It could be the key to increasing our population and establishing ourselves as a true kingdom.
Of course, the idea wasn't foolproof. There were numerous obstacles that we would have to overcome, such as finding the right materials and skilled workers to build the balloon, as well as ensuring that it was safe and reliable. But I was willing to take the risk, knowing that failure was always a possibility in any new endeavor.
As I pondered the idea further, I began to consider the potential implications of air travel beyond just bringing people to Jola. Perhaps we could use the balloon for reconnaissance or even military operations. The possibilities were endless.
But before any of that could happen, we had to make it a reality. I called for a meeting with the technology department and Aria to discuss the feasibility of the idea, and we began to brainstorm and make plans.
It was a risky move, but I knew it was worth it. Jola needed to grow and thrive, and air travel could be the key to our success.
if it didn't work I have a back up steam-powered fast traveling ships plan too.
After the meeting and shocking everyone with the ridiculous idea of humans flying, I asked Aria.
"Bring up all the hot air balloon models made back on Earth and also any and all weird flying aircraft made in history"
"Sure Darling~" She said with a wink
I started reading about it but the problem was Jola doesn't has enough resources it was the problem why I didn't make guns and cannons yet. Nor engines but having a way to air travel is the best way get resources and people as even though it was pretty impossible right now I started and brainstorm many designs.

After reading for the whole evening Aria suddenly stopped showing me the information and said "Darling it's time for bed!"
"But.."
"No buts we are sleeping now, you have been working way too much lately if you don't listen to me I tell Alice!"
"Ah alright" She has been acting way too much seriously lately maybe the fact that we will marry soon was making her act like a responsible women?
As such I cuddled with Aria and slept on my bed.
He felt her body pressed against his, her smooth curves melting into his own. He could feel her breath on his neck and the warmth of her skin radiating against him. He ran his hands up her back, tracing the contours of her body and feeling her shiver in anticipation. The electricity between them was palpable and he felt himself drawn to her like a magnet to steel. He could feel her heart pounding against his chest, the rhythm in perfect harmony with his own. He leaned in and kissed her softly, her lips parting and welcoming him in. His tongue explored her mouth, tasting her sweetness and reveling in the moment. She moaned softly and he felt himself smile against her lips. He moved his hand to her waist and pulled her closer, feeling her body heat and intensity. He wanted nothing more than to lose himself in her and feel her body against his. And so, with a passion that seemed to ignite the entire room, they gave in to the desires they had both been suppressing. He explored her body and she explored his, each seeking to please the other with every touch and caress. As their bodies moved in perfect unison, their love was expressed through each passionate embrace and every whisper of pleasure. This was more than just sex, this was a physical expression of the powerful connection between them.
