Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 251: Report 1

Rezar felt his heart skip a beat at the massive sheaf of papers heading his way, it didn't help that Alistair had a smiling face on as he carried the tower of papers towards Rezar. It was insane, this was not what he had in mind when he proclaimed himself king, why in God's name did he need to read and sign papers, can't they just agree to something and get it done, what was the need to start signing papers and heading to places to supervise construction s and sign off on deals and have meetings with diplomats from other kingdoms or powers. It was bloody annoying, why then did he have people filling different positions, it was so he didn't have to do anything like this.

"What do I have to look through today Alistair?" Rezar asked with a sigh as he felt really small surrounded by a mountain of documents.

"Well you don't really have much to do today your majesty, two new national buildings have been raised based on the specifications of Queen in Waiting Gynaika. One of them is the hall of judges where citizens from all over Morte Bianca would gather to report their problems or any happenings within the kingdom, more often than not this is just a place where the grievances of the people could be placed at the feet of the king to solve.

At the moment at the foresight of the queen in waiting a collegium of judges are being trained right now be fair and impartial in the process of administering a listening ear and attempting to solve the problems of the people. At the end of the month a tribunal will be held where you or any other royal on duty would listen to an overview of all the problems that has been solved by the judges, review them and solve more complex cases that would require the ear of the king of himself." Rezar raised an eyebrow at that, he didn't really want to say anything, a king had look aloof you know, but-

"You do know this outfit will eventually become corrupt right? Give it a few years and even if it's not the current iteration of Judges...I think I'll call them first generation Judges. You cannot eternally guarantee integrity in humanity. And let's be frank with each other, it doesn't matter how many races you see here, in the end everyone is still human. So different body and looks or not, we're all still the same greedy, selfish and untrustworthy creatures beneath our skin. How do you plan to combat that?"

"That is quite wise your majesty."

Alistair said much to Rezar's surprise, he's been called many things before, but wise was not one of them. he had to admit he felt really good about himself.

"We're walking around that by utilizing the same method the system had used with slaves, being a judge would require you to take an oath of service to Morte Bianca, and in so doing they would be answerable and judged by the Tenets of Morte Bianca. The Tenets of course has not yet been drafted, the queen in waiting has taken the liberty to draft a few of the tenets awaiting revision from you your majesty. A techno magical brand that functions in the way of grafted organ into the bodies of the judges, would track all of their activities and choices and judge them based on the Tenets of the kingdom.

Its foolproof with no way around it, as such being a judge would be a lifetime commitment. When a judge is ready to retire, he or she would have to train an apprentice that would take over their place, passing on the same brand that now carries all of their experiences with cases they've judged and the troubles they solved. Sure there might be a loophole we've not discovered yet, but contingencies have been put in place in case of any foresight. The contingencies have been listed in a separate report that is laid on your desk."

Rezar raised his second eyebrow this time, there was too many holes, and not with the situation with the judges, he was already complaining of having so much work, the judges would be a perfect way for him to keep his finger on the pulse. Knowing what was going with his people and understanding their problems would go a long way in making sure his kingdom remained stable internally. What was his problem however being Alistair's demeanor, he was playing an angle and unfortunately for the Muriel elf, Rezar could smell his scheme right away?

"I see you've picked a side Alistair." Alistair looked startled for a moment before he asked.

"Your Majesty I don't understand?" Rezar smiled as he picked himself up from the back of his desk and gingerly walked around it until he was standing face to face with Alistair. He placed his hand on the elf's shoulder, brushing a stray lock of his hair off.

"this happens with every family that comes into existence, there's always a play for power even amongst the king's own household. I see that everything being done here would only do one thing, it would boost and strengthen and give more power to Gynaika, who I've noticed you kept calling the Queen in Waiting.

Don't play with politics Alistair it doesn't fit you, and above all you're one of the people who is always around me. I wouldn't want to get severely irritated and take a massive chomp out of your neck because I end up finding your schemes boring. Would you want that?" Rezar asked with a smile to which Alistair shook his head rapidly.

"Good neither do I, I gave you everything you have today. The position of power you now occupy I put you in there. So if you're in bed with Gynaika, in order to make it possible she fully occupies a position of power that really have say in the fate of my kingdom; then I advise to rethink your decisions and very carefully Alistair. I'm not as stupid as you think I am, but I'm just as dangerous if not more so. So do have a long hard thought about your life's choices in that pretty little head of yours. Before you lose it...permanently. now let's continue with this Darkness forsaken reports; what's next on the Agenda."
