The Craftsman 156 The Grand Plan

With the ma.s.sive foundation complete Daedalus returned home once again and bathed in the joy of family, he was also told off by Andromeda.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daedalus then spent the rest of the year planning for building walls and buildings as well as the palace that he was planning to be ma.s.sive. Andromeda of course made sure he spent time with Rose and Reginn as other wise they would look as if someone had stepped on their toes. The one time that it really got to Daedalus was when Rose said in a sad voice "Does daddy not love us anymore?"

Daedalus had actually almost broke down crying at that moment and spent the next month spoiling them beyond belief. Andromeda actually had to stop him as it was starting to get out of hand.

Of course it was not all fun and games for the twins. Daedalus and Andromeda spent almost half the day everyday that year imparting their own personal knowledge to the two of them. Rose was a magnificent alchemist by the end of the year, while Reginn was almost addicted to blacksmithing, courtesy of Daedalus, much to the annoyance of Andromeda who had to tear them away from the forge every few minutes.

Other than being with his family at all times of the day Daedalus also spent many nights simply drawing plans for the city and preparing an enormous number of materials. One thing that Daedalus had decided was that rather than build thousands of houses that where identical Daedalus would allow for the property to be bought then he would let the owner build the house, with help. Of course Daedalus set some specific limitations like, do not go beyond a certain height or use these specific materials in the building process. He also decided to set up a small royalty owned and run free service for architects so that anyone could have help in the building process if need be.

There were many things Daedalus still needed to do to smooth things out however Daedalus wanted to build the walls now so that he can prepare everything properly for the inside.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once he had finished making his plan for everything he would do, starting next week, Daedalus left his crafting room. If you looked inside you would see an absolute mess consisting of paper, paper and even more paper.

Daedalus of course neglected to deal with the papers until later when Andromeda inevitably told him off for being so messy. In the meantime Daedalus ran out into the garden and saw the kids playing in the lake. Daedalus to quickly changed and climbed a tree, this of course gained their attention and caused Daedalus to smirk.

Andromeda sighed quietly, and he jumped while shouting "Cannon ball!!!"
