Walk tall. Pull your chin.

Oh, yes! Yes, sir!

Every walk is important to be recognized as a lord.

Birthday of Kirk, murdered outside the castle.

Despite being overwhelmed by the appearance of the group, everyone who walks behind Rubia is likely to be evaluating her in real time.

It's up to her to show her what she's made of.

It's my job to keep her safe.

You walk along the beam and look around you.

There was no one to stop her.

“Miss.! ”

There were many people in the castle who forgot their shame and were confused and happy.

Most of them had tears in their eyes.

Rubia also greeted each and every one of the people in the castle and moistened her eyes.

‘There are no threats. ’

I looked everywhere carefully.

Among those currently in the castle.

There doesn't seem to be any hostile figure against Rubia.

It's not easy.

‘Like this. It's called an induction.’

Saab Rubia looks different.

There's no threat. The castle is safe.

Thank you. Thanks for everything. Mmm-hmm.

So, what do we do now?

Rubia has such a nervous mouth.

Bitten.

Maybe we should call a meeting first.

In this situation, we need an official position.

In Erastor, it seemed we needed a place to firmly imprint her position on everyone.

I have to!

Rubia swallows a gulp.

“I'll meet you in the conference room in an hour. Prepare agendas for each category

“I understand.”

“See you soon! ”

The prisoners scatter quickly, their eyes gleaming.

We can do it like this, right?

Good job.

Ha-ha.

Everyone's out. The maid standing at the door came in.

“Ah, miss. Bath prep.

‘You're in bad shape. ’

Tears echo through the servant's eyes, with red hair.

There were bruises all over his face. At first glance, it looked like a wound from being hit by a fist.

There were scratches on the open arms and legs, and the marks were carved.

“Phew.

Rubia bites her lips tightly.

And quietly walked to the servant and hugged her.

I was clear to her how the lord dealt with the other humans.

No surprise there. Ray Kirk is from Necron.

“Ugh. Lady.

Rubia won't say a word.

I silently patted the servant's back.

‘That's what he looked like. ’

Rubia, out of the bath.

Wiping off all the dirt and blood and wearing clean clothes, she felt different from before.

Dry hair was washed under white and clean skin.

It seemed to glow even though it was the naked face that did not make makeup.

I was tormented when I remembered the past where there were red handprints and blue bruises on that white skin.

That should not happen this time.

‘Whatever it takes. ’

“Phew.”

As you walk through the conference room, Rubia takes a deep breath. The curve of the neck moves smoothly.

Can I... can I do it? Will you help me?

Within my abilities.

I can give you a brief opinion. I have absorbed this skill several times in my life. I don't think it's going to be much help to Erastruling.

Well, that's a relief!

Rubia is at ease before anything else is added.

I'm sorry for her trust.

It's only been a few times since I've seen you die in front of me.

Erast Castle number two.

I first came with Lena as a tournament participant, but now I've come to make Rubia lord.

I feel like walking the castle is quite different because the humans I visited with are different.

It was quick to reach the conference room.

As Rubia approaches, those who were here first rise as one.

The seat was already full.

“Welcome, my lord. ”

The old man who was in prison spoke on behalf of the throne.

Unlike when you were locked up in jail with your rags on and your beards intact, the old man dressed in black looked soft and energetic.

Everyone's gaze is on Rubia.

What do we do? If everyone suddenly calls me lord,

I can feel her beating rapidly. The thin fingertips were trembling.

Don't panic. Stay calm. Wasn't that all you were expecting?

I thought the story would come out, but this is a little sudden.

Because you saved everyone.

I recall the translucent scenario window.

[Make Rubia Lord of Erast!]

[Level Up Your Rule to Level 10!]

‘It's pretty easy this time.

If you were recognized as a lord, wouldn't you be able to level up your rule easily?

In Lena's case, she had to die several times without even going near the station chief.

‘Class S scenario should be much more difficult.

Of course, I was strong.

Maybe it means something. Rubia talks to you while you're distracted.

Not me, Skeleton. You saved him.

That's what you did.

What are you talking about?

Everyone's looking at you. Ask them if it's you or the lord.

_Hmm.!

Rubia squeezes her white, thin fingers between her wrinkles behind her blossoming activewear.

There's no hesitation. Rubia will know. But it's always necessary to be prepared.

Go ahead.

When you do, just give it a little push behind you. Rubia opens her mouth.

“Llir, is it all right for me to take the throne? ”

I was nervous, but the voice came out without trembling.

An old man called the General's Illyrian replied with a proud smile.

“Of course, my lord. Check out this will. ”

Tsk!

The chancellor tore the end of the sealed envelope with wax.

‘That one.

I spread out the paper from the inside and showed it to everyone.

The paper clearly states that Ray Rubia is the legitimate heir to the Erasts.

“I'm sure the Lord of the Priory's affairs are bewildered.

Ah *??.! My father said he wrote a will. No way.!

Face Management. Face Management.

Yes.!

Rubia looks around the crowd and opens her mouth quite boldly.

“I thought it was taken from Kirk.

You kept it. ”

Of course, you can't hide your pulse underneath your clothes.

Even if the detector is not turned on, it feels that vivid.

The old chancellor nods.

“Most important of all, isn't it?

Since I got it, I've kept it hidden somewhere that only I know. Even without this, the Lord had justice anyway.

“That's right. You are my rightful successor." Imperial regulations don't even need your permission. ”

“The problem is.

The old man was a horse.

“Rumor has it the lord was killed outside the Imperial Eye. ”

More than a rumor.

From the atmosphere, other attendees seem to know about it.

“That's why. A lot of them didn't really stop Kirk. Phew, pathetic things. ”

Tell me you don't intend to disobey Imperial guidelines.

Oh, do I have to?

Don't resist. I'll explain slowly.

Rubia nods slightly.

“I have no intention of rebelling against the Imperial Court. ”

The expressions of executives gathered in the conference room were all lit up.

I had to.

They now feel sorry for Rubia's father's death, and if they rebel against the Imperial Court, they must die together.

“If so! If so, what are we worried about?

“Sure. Let's get started. ”

Glug.

A middle-aged woman in thin, one-eyed glasses opened her mouth for the first time, handing over the paper.

“I report. This is the current situation in the territory. ”

She wasn't in prison. The color is very thin, and there is a recess beneath the eyes.

Was he the one who helped your uncle?

But we can't blame him.

Rubia speaks.

If it's not him, the territory doesn't turn at all. Even the crops in the Storage must have rotted because they couldn't manage them.

You know how it is.

Well, I don't know.

It reminds me of a weak boom on Rubia's face. The woman casts a dark shadow under her eyes and looks at Rubia.

“My lord?”

“Oh, my lord! You don't know what kind of friend this is. Take a look.”

The old chancellor shrugs and says to Rubia,

It seemed like there was a misunderstanding.

“Hmm! No. Talk to me, Customs. ”

A woman called the customs official opened her mouth again.

“Earl Erlast. It has a population of 721 and a population of 3,841.

We're down 30 people today. ”

I shortened the number. The woman added briefly.

“It's not a production population. ”

“Getting rid of them is much better! Uh, how the lord got rid of them. I don't know.”

Someone opens their mouth to rubia's gaze. Perhaps, to them, Rubia came because she was a wizard who could burst immediately with one finger.

How did you get rid of it?

Kidding.

I'm not kidding. Shouldn't we introduce him?

I hate it.

I just cut and refused. I had no intention of removing that ridiculous risk to Rubia. I should not be exposed. Monocle's customs officer spoke.

“The number of guards is 151. ”

Those who didn't seem to have seen it before either took an alternate break or were somewhere else far away.

Rubia tilts her head.

“Is that a lot? It used to be less than 100. ”

“As the lord changed, a large number of young peasants were recruited as soldiers. ”

What are we gonna do?

Suit yourself.

Then.

Numbers are meaningless as long as I keep them safe. I alone can handle a simple matter of a hundred or two hundred ordinary people.

“Release all those who have been forcibly taken. Leave only the people you want.

Weared during his time in prison.

I want you to pay for the loss of your life. ”

The tax man has the white paper in his hand.

The user stares at Rubia in alternation, making an agonizing expression.

“My lord.”

“Go ahead.”

“Next. Dimension problem. ”

“This is a business that my father was particularly concerned about. What's the agenda?”

“The former lord sold all the materials for the dimensions. ”

“Why?”

“There's no other reason. to use as entertainment. ’

The executives who heard the customs official lost their words to the confusion.

You don't seem to know what Ray Kirk has done in real time because you were all locked up.

“What the hell. What.

“It's winter's high season. We made a temporary request to purchase materials at the top. But the current budget is barely enough to buy these materials. ”

xxxxxxx

Money is the problem.

After all, it was difficult to reward the farmers who were forcibly imprisoned.

Of course.

I have no intention of troubling Rubia with money.

Tell me you got a lot of money.

Yeah?

Finally, the time has come for money.

‘I've been dying before I tried it properly. ’

I feel even more proud because I think I can use the Hidden Ones buried near Yublam.

Humans buried in the crypt will be killed by all anyway, so there won't be much use for money.

Tell him not to worry about the money.

Really?

Yeah, it's a lot of money.

It is easy to calculate even without accounting skills.

If you dig up all the buried silverware, you can at least exceed Erast's five-year budget.
