The 10 Legendary Swords
Mining Problems

The war was over, of the many casualties most experienced by the Avan Ariville, but that does not mean the Arav did not suffer the slightest loss.

On the battlefield, there were more than a group of people feeling sad over the death of their colleagues or siblings, there were also events when siblings were forced to fight each other against each other due to this civil war.

The surviving opponents were arrested and later sentenced by the Duke of Ariville for rebelling, many surviving the incident, many of whom chose to survive by opening their mouths.

On the other hand, displaced residents began to arrive to the city where they had lived. The atmosphere as the children smiled as they came home made Viscount Ariville happy to see him.

Five days passed, Viscount Ariville sent a letter to Arav who was lying on his soft bed. Some time passed since he used too much mana, resulting in his body feeling weak and needing sufficient rest.

"Master has to eat a lot because he has worked so hard ..." Masket said while feeding Arav, even though the body of the young man in front of him was still lying on the bed.

Arav chose to open his mouth and eat a delicious meal that morning. When he woke up, there was a girl in front of him.

He was at the Sanjaya residence, in the city of Vinterm. Precisely after the Ariville war was over, Arav immediately rushed home with Masket and the members of the Nine Roses who took him directly to this place.

"Mr ..."

Maya appears after opening and knocking on the door first, but she accidentally joins Arav to Vinterm at his employer's request.

"You came at the right time ..." Arav looked at Maya who was bowing her head towards him, "Thank your chin ... I've told you several times not to be too like that towards me except in front of a lot of people ..."

Maya nodded slowly, whatever order she must have fulfilled, "I brought a letter from the capital to you ..." Maya handed over the letter in question was a piece of paper containing a royal seal.

Arav was instead happy to frown instead, if this was from the capital it was obvious someone who sent him was part of the royal family.

Not the first time she received a letter from the place, Melida had sent him a letter several times but did not wear a special identification. Plus after seeing the royal emblem in this letter made him a little anxious.

"News of Vinterm's involvement have been widespread to other regions ..." Arav laughed a little.

In Antasia, there are 5 states in the kingdom, among others, Ariville, Vinterm, Vion, Qwntensa and one region located on a separate island called Lam.

Ariville is located to the east while Vinterm and Vion are located to the west separately, in addition to Vion who is famous for his family is always in trouble with Qwntensa, Vinterm is not so and tends to be in good contact with the Vion region, although both are in the west but the truth is Vion is located in the middle of the kingdom.

"It seems that I should attend a meeting between the rulers of another territory to be held in the capital ..."

The trip will take time, 1 month Arav will go to the capital.

Maya is the head of the bodyguard as well as serving as the current protector of Vinterm, her position is not far from a commander and her job is to protect Arav. Therefore he felt that a strict escort might be needed later.

Arav shook his head, "No need ... Enough with some members of the Nine Roses and some ordinary soldiers I think this trip will be fine ..."

"Even if you say so ... Something may happen that is not desirable ... We better be careful ..." Maya spoke in a soft tone.

Arav scratched his head, Masket was still beside him and suggested the same thing that made him have to consider all of this, after it was decided that the Maya could only bring 20 soldiers to the capital and nothing more, the Maya agreed.

"At least the promised day is still too far away ... We still have plenty of time to take care of the problems around Vinterm ..." Arav switched the subject.

It all started when there were complaints about mining in the Vinterm-Vion border area which was forcibly taken over and made the place as the property of a wealthy merchant who was protected by several nobles.

The problem was not only that the land was forcibly taken from the citizens, but that this mining was very important for Vinterm because it produced resources such as gold, silver, metals and others.

Unfortunately this incident occurred not a few weeks or a few days ago, but a few months before it certainly made the residents who depend on this mine feel burdened.

"I've heard that this rich merchant's son was an eleven-year-old girl, she who had taken over this land and made it her own ..." The word Maya explained at the time they were in another room.

Seeing the Maya's reaction it seemed like this subordinate could not move freely, other than because he had the support of the nobility, these rich merchants also employed tens to hundreds of low-class warriors, some even equaling the middle-level.

"It looks like the good relationship between Vinterm and Vion won't fully last long ..." Arav let out a long sigh while shaking his head.

"Should I make a request to Duke Vion to cooperate in addressing this matter?"

Arav shook his head at this suggestion, which was probably the thing no stranger could do, especially to the family known as the genius merchant producer without expecting any reward from his hard work, unless the person may have previously been indebted to him so that he considers having to pay in any way.

"This area lies between the border, the worst of which is that this mining is in a struggle between citizens and merchants ..." Maya explained in detail, asserting this region fully belongs to the citizens.

"Tell this girl to stop the mine immediately, give her a warning if in two to three days do not leave the mine, the government will intervene in cooperation with the authorities may do other ways ..." Arav's word while writing this statement is directly to be sent to the trader in question.

Maya prepares a delivery with herself directly intervening in the delivery of this command by riding a horse, while 3 mounted warriors also follow her from behind.

Two days later, he and some of his troops had already reached the vicinity of the mining area. At the same time a girl stood looking at him with a cold gaze was on the rocks resembling the shape of a fortress.

Maya was surprised because beside her were more than twenty citizens who were standing looking at her as well with cold gazes without feeling happy for her presence.
