With Debauchery losing the will for any further exploration, they just returned home with Yunan and took the rest the day off and shared their own lunch with the girls, thereafter the lot of them headed for the baths to relax and talk about what Yunan experienced in his first day as an 80th floor explorer.According to Leader "this boy has some marvelous luck, ever since we entered the 80s we haven"t had this much fighting nor have we had met a big group of enemies, all the adventurers we met were good folks, luckily you came by and baited a few bad apples for us" in the 80s it was a bit hard to meet with other adventurers, let alone meeting a big band of aggressive ones, as for the monster fights, they were lucky not to end up with too much damage and the fights ending rather fast and without too many surprises.Yunan was glad that his first day was on the good side of the spectrum, he was planning to spend a few more days and he hoped they would go well for him.
Returning back to the morning time, Reina and Sarah left bed not long after Yunan teleported away to Tartarus, the two pushed the others off of the bed, Ophelia went to her lab to work on whatever concoction she deemed necessary to work on, Kitty and Lili helped Reina prepare for formalities, while Sarah started picking up the paperwork they needed for what they planned to do. After sunrise they teleported to the bright palace in bid to meet with the service personnel and talk with the ministers of the government to see what they can interfere with and help smooth things for them.
As the Queen of the Pearl and her retinue, Reina met the old ministers of both official and underground governments to discuss how could her help be provided. She knew Yunan was a hand off kind of king but he still actively joined in when big things came up, like the time with the big bad a.s.sa.s.sin, or the time he sent Drogon to burn pirates into oblivion, however since their wedding and her attaining the official t.i.tle of Queen, Reina decided that she can try to change the way the population looked at the royal family.
The king was a good guy that helped build a better kingdom, it was still small but it was safer and more prosperous, even upholding the no magic law and enforcing it on all equally, including himself, that gave a good look towards the no hands king who"s only interference was to defuse a situation or create an improvement. Reina wanted that to change, she wanted to plant the idea that the royal family was not hands off, it just chose not to interfere with the lowest end of political work, however, they still kept a firm outlook on the whole process in order to better understand and improve the kingdom.
Her first meeting was the underground government, they had been slowly losing their grip on the underworld due to a recent flood of informants that have infiltrated and are making the uncontrollable lowest level thugs agitated causing a rise in petty crime, Reina and Sarah provided some thoughts on how to flush out the informants, they wanted to use real intelligence about the royal family and the business situation around the pearl, opening a few spots for those informants to try and grab a foot hold.
The information Sarah provided was of no use nor could it cause harm to the pearl, for example the size of trade with the guild and the items traded, and the situation of the underground world and the weak spots to break the balance between different factions, all these information had immense value to outsiders but could not be used against the Pearl in any way, shape or form. The items provided by the Pearl were unique and the guild would never buy them elsewhere, the weak spots of the underground government were there especially for the express purpose of attracting all the pressure from the criminal world.
The underground government was also having trouble with financing themselves and keeping their employees well paid, especially with the increasing costs thanks to the recent events, Reina, gave them a choice, they could sell all the illegal items, drugs, and all stolen property to her and she had her own ways of dealing with them, since the underground government were being financed using illegal items and their circulation, it was best if those things were taken of the market gradually, after offering these two pieces of aid the representative of the underground government left with a smile on his face.
Afterwards came a few ministers with big stacks of problems that they thought that they could dump on this meddling Queen to discourage her, after some talks Reina diplomatically solved a few problems by enlisting the help of the underground government in exchange for financial a.s.sistance, the underground government could use its manpower to provide the official government with statistics, accurate information about the effects of policies and practices, as well as support in the enforcement of laws and regulations. The meeting ended with both branches of government taking more time to work on the proposed items.
Lastly they met up with the guild representative in this kingdom. Usually when the guild sells a kingdom they would pull away their employees and give the sold kingdom autonomy, but Yunan has made it so that the guild would still work marginally side by side with the kingdom, the meeting lasted until noon, they discussed how to make use of the guild"s presence, expand the trade market and the possibility of creating diplomatic relations through the guild, given that the nominated kingdoms were ones that could provide some mutually beneficial alliance.
