Chapter 95: Finally Over
Arabella was relieved that the financial problem would be greatly lessened by returning the money Gulliver got from the people of Prudencia.
’All the children wouldn’t have to help with work all the time now and would at least have some time to study, relax, and play.’
And of course, Ferdinand did not forget Arabella’s suggestion. Since Gulliver was given a chance, the mercenaries’ lives and their families were also spared.
The mercenaries would not be executed anymore but would still be prisoners. And they would have to provide manual labor to Prudencia in order to pay for their crimes and for their families to be spared.
Gulliver and all the mercenaries would also be given lashes using their own whips once all the announcements were done for them to experience at least once what the common people of Prudencia had experienced.
Everyone who had witnessed the lashings or experienced it themselves was elated at this.
Meanwhile, for the food shortage, Ferdinand granted Prudencia a supply of grains from the Imperial Granary.
Other food supplies from the Imperial Storehouses were also granted to help alleviate the food shortage in the interim while Prudencia was trying to go for the long-term solution of once again cultivating the abandoned lands that could be tilled.
With these, Arabella no longer had to worry about the food shortage.
