Chapter Two: Problems
Disclaimer: I do not own Twelve Kingdoms, this is just a bit of fun!
One of the biggest problems I had encountered was the problem of regenerating the land, especially for farmland and housing, to be honest I wanted to increase the amount of land permitted to locals even if by just a few metres.
"Your majesty?"
"Oh, good morning Keiki how is everyone?"
"We're fine, is there something the matter? Suzu said you looked troubled earlier" Keiki asked, it wasn't what he asked which had surprised me it was the concern in his voice, I mean Keiki is normally so harsh and stubborn, but this was a completely new side,
"Well, now that you ask yes there is, you see a while ago I was speaking with Enho, he told me of the little land space people have to build their homes and of the risk they take when growing crops, you know the risk of natural disaster" I replied
"What he told you is true however, what is it you wish to do about it?" Keiki asked
I thought about this for a moment, I had acknowledged the problem, but I hadn't come up with a solution, once again I needed help, just then Suzu came in along with Shokei,
"Your majesty? Do you wish to increase the permitted land space?" Shokei asked
I nodded, "I'd also like to do a bit more to prevent flooding and other natural disaster so people's food supply is more secure" I replied
"But your majesty please take into account that each town is of different sizes and not all of them have access to these defence barriers" Keiki pointed out
"Really?"
"Yes"
Another obstacle, I knew trying to rebuild the kingdom was going to be a difficult task, but I never expected so many problems to hit at once.
Shokei must of seen that once again I was about to cry and put her arm around me,
"Crying won't solve anything, come on we'll all come up with ways to overcome this, we'll think of a solution…don't worry" Shokei smiled
