Marquis' Express Butler

After a few days of diligence, we arrived at the small mountain village of Tordand.

It was a fairly humble, eco-friendly space with only mountains and forests compared to Alsace.

It was also an important area in my plan because of its high timber production and high mountains, which could lead to mining industry.

I closed the window on the wagon while looking around. Then Sapiella asked.

“You've never been to the territory before, have you? ”

“That's right. I didn't have time to come, but I'm here now. I'm worried that the colonists will call me Lord of Evil. ”

“No way. Lord Dylan is a wise and merciful man, so all the settlers will love him. ”

“Thank you for the empty words. ”

“It's not empty. ”

I know your eyes are telling the truth.

The road to Thor Dance is rough and narrow. If I hadn't enchanted Sapiella with anti-intoxication magic, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I gave him some caution.

“I informed Zayq's territory of your visit, but I didn't tell them about this place. You should wear a veil if possible. ”

“Okay, but what are you going to do there? ”

“First…… we'll look at the overall situation in the territory and see if there's any land or supplies we can invest in Mathis. Let's take a look at the mood. ”

“I've heard that this place is well suited for mining development since it's very mountainous. ”

“That's right, but the rent is so heavy, there's not too little money in it that no one is touching it. unless there's a gold mine. ”

Gold is a rare metal even here, of course. Diamonds, sapphires, etc. are also considered rare, but not as widely used as gold.

As soon as the production base that is being set up in Ture is completed and the office supplies are fully stocked, the capital will start to grow.

This is the situation where we plan to develop mining here with the excess capital generated at that time. Chris did not strongly disagree with this plan.

“If there is a gold mine found here, I will give you a fabulous gift as the first Refined Gold Ingot. ”

“I look forward to it. ”

While we were talking, we slowly stopped to see if the wagon had arrived at its destination.

When I opened the door and went out, a lot of people gathered.

It's a little different from the city. Their outfits were shabby, but their faces looked much healthier than those of the city. I can feel the energy.

Then the old man with the staff came forward cautiously.

“Oh, my lord. I was just waiting for you to come. ”

“Long time, chief. ”

The old man was the head of the Norse village of Tordand, which had been partying at the mansion the other day.

Since then, people of all ages have gathered. Some of the older people were old and some of the children were frog-biters who liked to run around.

The town seems to be small but full of vitality. It's like a countryside where you feel pure without being asked.

“Did all the villagers leave? Quite a few.”

“How can I be at home relaxing when the Lord is coming? What's everybody doing? Without saying hello to the new lord. ”

“To the Lord! ”

Everyone fell to the ground toward me.

I shrugged a little because Sapiella, who was more than me, was by my side. I don't think I'm the one who should be worshipped right now.

She stands beside me, blindfolded with veil.

I don't think anyone in this countryside would recognize it, but experienced Chief Norr would know the face of love.

This place doesn't need to be scored because I'm the lord anyway.

“Stand up, everyone. ”

When I gave the order, the people on the ground were startled. Nor cautiously said as a representative.

“My lord, why do you honor the humble? I wish you all the peace of mind.”

“I didn't come here to play cozy. I've talked to you enough, and I've come up with a plan for how we're going to build this town. At least if you want to talk, you have to look each other in the eye. ”

I heard people murmuring. I ordered those who worshiped in a bad posture, not me.

“Wake up, everyone. It's okay. I was a civilian until recently. I want to speak to you bluntly at the same eye level. ”

“Thank you for the Lord's grace. ”

People woke up one by one. I can see you're still looking at me, so I think it's a long way to get to know you.

As my territory grows and population grows, so will my chances of skinning my people. But you'd better try being a lord first.

But we can't all talk to this many people. So I asked Nora.

“Later tonight, I want you to pick four representatives and send them back to my place. I think we should have a cup of tea and talk. ”

“I receive the Lord's command. But if you'll excuse me, who's next? ”

Noah talks about Sapiella.

Rather, I became mysterious and noble because I covered my face with veil. The villagers are also staring at Sapiella.

Maybe he thinks she's my wife.

“I'm a valued guest from Mathis. Take good care of her. ”

“Ah, from Mathis... I see. The palace where the Lord will be staying has been cleaned up. That's the building on the hill. ”

Noah casts his gaze where he is pointing.

A magnificent cabin sits on a blue hill. It's nothing compared to Adelina's mansion, but it feels fairly tidy.

“Looks like a new building. I love it. I'd love to take a look around. ”

“When the Lord received the Tor Dance as a bonnet, the villagers united to celebrate. I hope you'll be happy to receive it. ”

It made me sad that I made a public office, not a homemade food or a common item. We made everything I needed together.

“I'm glad you're all here to celebrate. I'll see you tonight. ”

When I took a great example and greeted them, people began to panic. Is that too much to ask? I shouldn't be so surprised.

I made an interesting plan on my way here.

Since we rule the territory, let's make it a place where we can be together.

It's a special place where everyone enjoys flower games in the spring, water games in the summer, harvest together in the fall, and snow fights in the winter.

There aren't many people, so the feasibility is sufficient and it will be fun.

This is possible because I am an ordinary person. His title is also Baron. If he was the official of a family with a name, the residents would be anxious.

Of course, I won't be making a move so soon.

It won't be easy for residents to open their minds as long as they've lived in the mountains. I plan to approach slowly and open my heart whenever I need them.

“Well, let's go. You must have had a hard time coming here because of the rough road.You should get some rest. ”

“Yes."

I was headed to the palace with Sapiella. After that, Chief Noah and a few others followed.

* * *

The interior of the palace was quite cozy. Especially with a nice scent flowing from a wooden wall. I feel refreshed.

“It's much better than I thought. ”

I didn't need any more modifiers. I said, Nora sighed of relief.

“Glad you like it. Look around a bit more and shout if you need anything else. Your friends here will look after you here in the future. ”

“With all due respect, ”

Everyone gathers their mouths together and bows. Nora returns to her home, claiming that she has completed her task.

Young people were two men and one woman, three of them, and when they heard the story, they all grew up here and learned about the village well.

I nodded.

“I look forward to it. Who's in charge of cooking? ”

“It's me.”

The young man, short and full of bears, raised his hand. I pointed him out.

“How much did you cook? ”

“I didn't learn it well, but I did it for five years. I help my father serve food to the travelers who come here. ”

“Hmm, good. Then make all the main food in Tordand Village. ”

“Right now? ”

“Yes."

The young man was startled, and I spread four fingers with the devil's smile.

“Prepare 4 servings. Among them, there is a famous baron called Baron, who will be in trouble if he doesn't perform well. ”

“Bar, I'll have it ready right away. ”

“Hold on. Let's just say the name. ”

“Wolf.”

“All right, Wolf. I look forward to your taste. ”

Wolf jumps out of nowhere, and now there's a man and a woman.

“Who can write? ”

“Me.”

The woman raises her hand. She was the one who was going to call her Anne because she resembled Anne with red hair.

“It's Anna. Please take good care of her. My lord.”

“You know your way around town, don't you? Put everything you can on Tor 'Dang Village, including its population, major facilities, and specialties. ”

“Everything...? ”

“Yes. You'll have plenty of time, but you'll have to start right away. ”

“I understand. I'll work hard. ”

Anna has left.

All that was left was a healthy young man. Though I still have a youthful appearance. The waist is still crude, but the sword is on it.

“Have you learned swordsmanship? ”

“Yes! I'm on sentry duty in the town vigilantes. I've caught a lot of monsters too! ”

“Fine. Then you're the warden of the palace. ”

“Yeah, the guard commander? ”

“Why, no? ”

“Oh, no! ”

“Keep guard in front of the palace and report to me when guests arrive. ”

“Old!”

“Name.”

“Thompson!”

“I like that you're strong. ”

That way, I put all three of my friends in charge, and then I started looking inside the government office again.

On the floor was a carpet made of tiger hide, and a huge fireplace was built on the wall. It's the cornerstone of the cabin.

After stepping on the creaking wooden staircase and going up to the second floor, several rooms appeared to welcome guests. I offered Sapiella the best room of all.

“The young lady needs to rest here. I'll pick you up when dinner's ready. ”

“Okay."

“And don't worry, Arthur, Chris and Avengers mercenaries are on the fence. No one will break in. ”

“Meow.”

She nods, and I leave her and her cat with Selena and return to the first floor. I entered the most decorated room on the first floor.

“And…… this is my room? ”

There were wooden tables, chairs, and utensils in the office.

The city's craftsmanship doesn't feel clean, but its crude design matches the atmosphere.

“Fill it with Metys' office supplies and it'll be perfect. ”

Sitting comfortably on the chair, I put my arm up on the hanger and realized that I finally have land to rule. Shall we start SimCity now?
