Adventure - Part 4

Half a year went by.
Day by day, Emi gained more knowledge while the Princess slacked off.

Until, one day, in the royal common area where everyone was having their afternoon tea break, sat the King, Queen, Princess and Prince while Emi was standing at the side.
"Urghh..this is completely a mess? I've never thought that they could make such a groundless statement. Groundless as it may, being their neighbour, we could not even turn down their request. What do you think about it?" looking at Prince Edward, who will be the next-to-throne succeed-er, with hopeful eyes.
"Dad, I don't think I'm qualify yet to be giving a good enough idea about all these political issues. So I'm afraid that you might have to think about it yourself."
"At least give it a little thought. Besides, don't you think it's a good chance for you to utilize your knowledge so far? It's okay if it's not a brilliant idea, I just wanted to know how my son's progressing. After all, you're gonna be the next king after my retirement."
"Hrmm..I think, since we have no choice, we should just follow their lead in setting up the polling system on the border of two countries. This way, we could save the trouble of getting into a sour relationship with our neighbour. Furthermore, the citizens should be happy about this decision since it's gonna save them plenty of time for processing all the documents required just to go past the border for a simple few hours."
"Are you sure? But it's gonna be costing them a lot with the pay rates that they showed us this morning. If the citizens were to go back and forth for more than ten times a month, it would have cost them nearly a month's wages. How could they survive like that. Our economy is not that strong to support all of these."
