Give the idea a lot of thoughts

Truth be told, you're not keen on using the ball to find your future wife. You need to focus on stabilizing your rule and ensure the economy is improved. You're not supposed to waste time going to ball to find your future wife. Besides, a ball is not just for finding wife. It's just another tool of diplomacy.

Wait.

There is a good reason for the ball. Under the guise of finding a wife, you can have your men try to find out about the situation in the country as well as the surrounding neighbors. At the same time, there's the effect for the people as well. The ball would only be open to royals, sovereign dignitaries and nobles. However, that doesn't mean it couldn't benefit everyone else. There would be a lot of things to be purchased in preparation of the ball. That means the merchants and artisans would be engaged. In return, they would also have to spend more to cope with the surge of demands of their services, hiring more workers and buying more things. The worker would have more money to spend, and buy something from other merchants, and the whole thing would go on. Even the serfs could benefit as well. Sure, they would be mobilized, but it's a matter of correct incentives to get the nobles to give them more food, money and items for their service.

The ball would be a good idea to pursue. Now, all you need to do is to balance the books to find the money to fund the said ball.

There's another thing that you told Deitrich. You had just came out of the order, so you don't know anything about courtship, which of course, have their own protocols to follow. At least you're not a virgin, having lost it to one of the nuns in the convent.

It happened a few days before the story of your brother and father's death arrived. The nuns came to the monastery for some sort of activities which you're not a part of, since you're in the middle of transcribing a book from the land of infidels, written by someone name

That very night, you were awakened by a soft shake on your foot. Drowsily you open your eyes and try to focus your vision. A candle was lit near the table, and you saw a nun sitting on the bed next to you.

"Good evening, My Lord," the nun said.
