Chapter 945: Chapter 945: From Real Experiences

Winter meant needing a lot of layers due to the cold. Thus, they were relieved to hear that they would receive some for free.

There was also winter clothing prepared in Riva to be distributed to the affected territories, but the more to send to the people, the better.

Arabella was rather surprised Ferdinand had not informed the people about it yet.

’He must have focused on assuring them about the food supply.’

Arabella figured that Ferdinand focused only on the most pressing matters.

"I am Norbert Fidelis, assistant to Her Majesty. Fidelis has pledged 10% of its produce and rock salt from our mines," Norbert said.

One of Fidelis’ most valuable export products was rock salt.

Rock salt was one of the things that was mined in Fidelis. Thus, giving it to the people is one way of showing them the results of their mining industry.

This indirectly supports Norbert’s proposal, which was about maximizing the mines here.

Further, it was said that rock salt from Fidelis was the best salt in the Empire.

Thus, Fidelis’ salt was mostly ordered by the nobles at a high price, so receiving it for free awed the people.

Arabella would not have understood this when she was younger, since she did not know other people lacked even the most basic things.

But her maids, who accompanied her to orphanages, had explained some things to her.

Dimo also told Arabella in her past life that not everyone could afford to buy salt or sugar.

Thus, she understood why the people were happy about it.

"Vertus has pledged 10% of its produce and educational materials for all learners," Egbert said.

After telling his family about his tasks, they decided to pledge learning materials which will help in the implementation of the project once it begins.

Those who have kids and teens were delighted to hear it since their kids had been bored at home and getting moody with the lack of activity.

The parents had instructed their children to stay home since Ferdinand and the knights arrived, in fear that they might do something that could be offensive.

Thus, having learning materials meant even the families who could barely afford it before would have something to give their children.

"I am Felix Orville, assistant to Her Majesty. Orville has pledged 10% of its produce and new farming tools once farming is allowed," Felix said.

Orville was rich in metals since they had a lot of mines. Thus, they chose to offer farming tools which they could readily make and not yet needed at the moment.

The farmers were grateful for it since they had been using the same tools for years.

New farm tools are very much welcome once they are allowed to farm again.

This also helps showcase Orville’s prowess in metallurgy and mining, which are also related to the tasks Felix was assigned to do.

"I am Denzell Farrell, assistant to Her Majesty. Farrell has pledged 10% of its produce and leather boots," Denzel said.

Shoe-making is one of the specialties of people in Farrell. They are among the best producers of leather boots.

The people were delighted to be receiving leather boots since they could be used for various purposes. It can be used daily, for work, and so on.

Further, from their thoughts, Arabella heard that leather boots are quite expensive for commoners. Thus, a lot had been wearing the same one for years.

This was warmly appreciated by the people who could hardly afford one or did not have new shoes as a priority on their budget due to the current circumstances.

"I am Odette Prudencia, assistant to Her Majesty.

Thanks to His and Her Majesty’s help, Prudencia is currently recovering from a financial crisis, and in the victory against Crux, our captive people had also been rescued, healed, and returned home.

I, who was forcefully engaged to an evil man, and my siblings, who were held hostage, were also saved.

I assure you, His and Her Majesty had greatly helped me and my family and the entirety of Prudencia.

We cannot share our resources yet, but all affected territories are in our prayers.

I will also do my best as Her Majesty’s assistant to help however I can.

I will read to you other territories in the Empire who pledged to help..."

Odette read half the list of other territories that had pledged food or other basic necessities for Sibruh and the locked-down territories.

"So she’s the assistant who was the reason Her Majesty visited Prudencia..."

"I heard their people were sold as slaves to Crux, which was why the war happened..."

The people murmured here and there since they heard about the news of what happened in Prudencia and the reason for the war with Crux.

"I am Nadia Safiro, assistant to Her Majesty.

Safiro has nothing to offer at the moment since we are still recovering from a severe devastation that was solved thanks to His and Her Majesty’s help.

Please believe in His and Her Majesty’s words.

Safiro, which was in severe drought and famine, had been saved by Their Majesties without a single promise uttered by Them.

My siblings and I, and our people who almost died of starvation and malnutrition, were all saved by Their Majesties.

Their capable knights, led by His Majesty, eliminated monsters that were a constant threat to us.

Meanwhile, their capable mages healed not only us and our people, but also our land.

Safiro, which almost became a desert that we thought we had no choice but to abandon so we could survive, is now a land teeming with life.

We just had our first harvest, though it’s not yet enough to share with you and other territories.

Still, I wanted you all to know about it since I’m sure that Sibruh will also be helped the same way.

Especially since you have even received a pledge from Her Majesty.

Just a few months ago, I could barely eat a piece of bread a day, and I was doing all sorts of jobs.

I was a miner, a sellsword, a guard, and almost even became a slave."

Nadia paused to let her words sink in and let the people process the severity of what happened.
