Dryad Kingdom

The Kingdom of Dryad. There was no particular industry they specialised in, and they had vast lands, but the number of infertile lands was high. This was especially so in the northern land called Dragon Horn. Food was not growing because of the cold, so they sell such land to people together with the nobility title, and they seemed to have made money with it.

History
In addition to the castle enclosure that spanned around 1 kilometer in diameter, the town was lined up outside of it. It is Dryad Kingdom's Imperial Capital City Dorisben. Its population is around seventy thousand people, it has a long history of culture and science, because of its colorfulness, it is called the city of flowers, it's one of the great cities known throughout the Continent.

However, in reality, behind its colorfulness, there is a dark shadow. For example, the population numbers that reach seventy thousand. There is probably a little mistake. Out of the “around” seventy thousand people, the number of people registered on family management is only about fifty thousand people. So what about the remaining twenty thousand people? They are the refugees who do not pay taxes.

The form a slum outside the castle walls, they worked as a low wages laborer and supported the economy of Dorisben. Besides that, there are a lot of debts behind the nobles luxurious lifestyle, even the culture and science part is only something of the past now. The nickname city of flowers is no longer what it means originally but reduced to something people use as sarcasm.

In the middle of the Imperial City is Leishunde Castle, where the young queen lives. In one of the rooms――where a certain minister office is located, a groaning sound comes out from it.
