Snippet #2054574

It was a summer morning in the lush valley in which Keldos was. Today was one of the multiple big days in a year where Lenassia had to go into town to announce the grand opening of something. First it was the new high school building 10 years ago, then the first university of Keldos a year after and multiple other things after that. But today was the opening of a rail line between the capital and two settlements within Keldos, most probably to be expanded to further settlements with the growth of Keldos.

Standing in her red dress with a frilled choker and bare feet, Lenassia gazed upon a crowd with her red eyes with the pupils turning like camera lenses to focus on the people. "It has been 11 years since my take over and the liberation of Keldos from its former tyrannic ruler. Since then I have made a vow to ensure safety to the citizens of Keldos and the improvement of life standards within the nation. Everyday Keldos grows a bit by population due to many new settlers seeking a better life. Yesterday we had 42 new settlers come to Keldos. Each and everyone of you is an important part of the labour force of Keldos ensuring economic growth and a betterment to each other. I remember when Keldos town was just a village of 550 and today the population numbers 7000 and growing. With the increasing population and more traffic on our streets, we had to do something to make travel easier and reduce the number of travelers on the streets. After looking in the old history books of Kurinta, I found a solution: Build a railway! Now the rail line is finally complete shortening travel between Keldos town and the outlying town of Vinland from eight hours by foot to a mere 20 minutes, traveling at a speed one and a half times that of a galloping horse (horse: about 45 km/h) at an affordable price. There will be discounts on those who work in the other settlements. A two carriage electric unit as well as an one carriage electric unit with two or three freight cars will travel along the line. So..." Lenassia said and then turned towards a ribbon and cut it with a large pair of scissors. "I declare the rail line open!" The crowd then cheered.

Lenassia then made her way back up to the palace. She had to make plans to conquer the next settlements and had to practice some combat.
