"Military... Force... Grant land?"
Kuluka the Monkey widened his eyes, stared for a long while, and finally made out the words on the book. He thought carefully for a moment before speaking, half in surprise and half in joy.
"Your Highness, are you truly going to distribute land to the Samurai?"
"Of course! Before the decisive battle with the Royal Army, I personally promised the Northern Army: if we win this battle, we shall grant rewards and bestow titles. Distribute fertile lands! Today, I have established a Kingdom in the lake region, and it's time to fulfill those promises. The Head Warrior has mentioned it to me, even the Samurai of the trusted aide are growing impatient!"
As he spoke, Xiulote glanced at the Head Warrior beside him. Bertade had been quiet until now, but he smiled and spoke then.
