Part 2. My Fiancé is Even Stranger Than I Thought
The day flew by in a flurry of activity.
After handling all the urgent matters piled up, I pushed forward with the Brundel levee project at the afternoon meeting.
Under the guise of allocating manpower for the project, we decided to send an initial force of five thousand troops to the south. As soon as they were settled, we planned to reinforce them, and I ordered the military to get ready.
I had intended to summon Edwin to the meeting to discuss it directly, but he had been out of sight since yesterday. He said he would be back early, but where was he roaming around?
As soon as the recruitment of the expert levee constructors was finalized, we would commence the troop movement.
Wait, didn't Edwin mention that among the talents he had 'kidnapped' and then released, there was a renowned architect?
As the idea struck me, I called for their presence before taking a break, and that was when Cecil arrived.
