Two days later, we were all gathered in the throne room.
Since most of the ministers of the forr Midra Kingdom had been executed because of the forr second prince, that ant that we had to get replacents for them.
The forr second prince who was currently the regent was the one that picked them out.
They were all nobles that had been scattered around the country, who had been ignored by the previous king because of their lack of wealth.
For the previous king, the only ones that received positions were those that were able to afford bribes. As long as the bribes were big enough, they would receive a prestigious position in the capital.
That was why there was so much corruption in the forr Midra Kingdom's governnt.
Those people were greedy people who only cared about their own benefits, they didn't care about the good of the people.
That ant that they didn't even have the skills to work in the positions that they held. This was the main reason why the forr second prince had been so busy in the first place.
He had been the one that made up for all those incompetent people that had been in those positions.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to do this all on his own since he was just one person. There were too many departnts for him to take care of all on his own.
So there were already people that were trained to take over the positions that had been emptied because of the executions.
But these subordinates of the forr second prince weren't the ones that took these positions.
These subordinates of the forr second prince weren't nobles, so they couldn't take these positions.
The noble caste were still in charge in this world, so it wasn't as if commoners could just take positions like this.
That was why the ones that took these positions were nobles summoned from around the country.
They were partly figureheads and they were partly departnt heads since they knew what they were doing. But in the end, it was the subordinates of the forr second prince that would be doing most of the work required.
This eting that we were currently in was just for them to report to what the current situation of the forr Midra Kingdom was.
Since my kingdom had taken over the Midra Kingdom, I should at least know what was happening in these lands.
But for the most part, I was just bored.
This wasn't the kind of thing that I dealt with in the first place, so it wasn't as if I could make heads or tails of most of the things that they presented to .
I had so idea because of my modern era education, but there were just too many details for to understand what was happening.
Most of this would be left to the pri minister when he ca out to supervise this place.
Since we had taken over, naturally a ssage had been sent to the pri minister who would co here to supervise the takeover. He would work with the regent and organize how these people would fit into the departnts that ran the Kite Kingdom.
Though judging by the letter that the pri minister sent back, it didn't seem like he was happy that I had revealed my identity when taking over.
He stated that Klein was more than enough of a representative to accept this surrender and that there was no need for to personally do it.
But it wasn't as if this was my idea.
It was the regent's idea to do this kind of handover since it seed more official.
One could say that this was the only trap of the regent's that I had fallen for.
It was already too late to regret it, so I could only accept what happened and move on.
Though the consequences of my actions were a bit...
Well, it was just sitting here and listening to their reports, so it wasn't considered that bad of a punishnt.
It was just a bit boring since I had no idea what they were even talking about.
After a certain point, it almost seed like their words were blending together and I wasn't really hearing anything that they were saying.
At that point, I figured that I had sat there long enough that I could stand up and leave without a problem.
But before I could...
"New material has been detected. Host, please obtain a sample for the system."
"Huh?" I was frozen the mont that I heard this.
This was a voice that I hadn't heard in a long ti since it had acted like a dead fish this entire
ti.
But there was no mistaking this voice since it was a voice that only I could hear.
Not a single other person in this room reacted to this voice since they couldn't hear it in the first place.
Even without that, it was a voice that I would never mistake since it was a unique voice that didn't belong in this world.
It was the chanical voice of the system.
I had to sit there in a daze for a few seconds to react to what the system had said, but then I quickly said, "What did you just say?"
Everyone in the room was shocked to hear suddenly speak up like this.
I had been fairly silent the entire ti, so they had just been going about their reports like it
was normal.
The one who was currently up there reading was soone from the departnt of land managent who was reporting on the various resources of the kingdom.
He didn't think that he did anything wrong, so he was shocked to hear this and a bit afraid.
The regent said, "Your majesty, if there's a problem, we can..."
I raised my hand to stop him before saying to the person reporting, "Just read back what you said earlier, I missed sothing."
It seed like everyone let out a sigh of relief when they heard this, but they didn't let their
guards down yet.
"The ores that we have in abundance are iron ores, copper ores, void ores..."
"Wait, what are these void ores?"
