Everybody in the room had widened eyes directed at me. Nobody was able to speak for a while, obviously not believing that what I was proposing was possible. The first one to come forward was the duke with a simple, "Yes".
The duke looked like he had a lot more questions that he wanted to ask me but with a sigh he simply moved on to the next topic on the improvements for the territory. We spent the rest of the afternoon till the late evening planning everything to the tiniest details.
