You've no time for rest! Your departure to this distant land is an opportunity to see a project that'll be complete by the time you're back! Or at least well underway...
In this matter, you are certainly at home. Retiring to your office yet again, you quickly begin drawing up possible projects that you could ensure would at least begin by the time you were to leave for Honderias. Since most of your treasury was already busy 'maintaining' the flow of Portblanc, ensuring commerce and infrastructure were maintained as well as keeping a healthy reserve for necessities, you'd have no choice to <span class="mu-s">reach into your warchest</span> for these projects. This thought troubles you. <span class="mu-i">Although it is true that Prince Carles will be the one upholding the cost of supplies and pay for this campaign</span>, you never know when you may find yourself with an large expenditure.
In the end, you reach <span class="mu-s">three projects</span> that you believe are feasible
<span class="mu-s">OPTION A</span>
The first project is quite a simple one; a trading mission. Although relations between the Mirevalian Empire and the League of Bach are tense, it would be a colossal feat to stop the hungry merchants of the north from conducting trade with a willing customer; there are plenty of ports from smaller cities and polities who are perfectly willing to deal with one such as yourself. By sponsoring several merchant ships to sail through the Meringian Sea carrying the wool and ironworks, they would stock up on the goods widely produced in the north such as cotton fabrics and glassware.
This would cost you about <span class="mu-s">three thousand and five hundred Imperii</span>, with a return rate that could easily reach double of that. Thanks to the relative peace in the Meringian these few years, it is most likely that this would be <span class="mu-i">a very safe enterprise</span>
<span class="mu-s">OPTION B</span>
The second project is a bit more personal. Your home and castle, the castle of Portblanc, is rather old; outdaded too. It's current age is easily more than two hundred years old, dating back to when the region was first conquered by Mirevale. It holds not the modern style, nor the modern amenities, nor the modern security that the estates of so many other noblemen boast. You cannot allow this to continue. With an investment of about <span class="mu-s">six thousand Imperii</span>, you would be able to renovate your castle to the modern standard.
