"Citylord. I'm sure you don't need much for soone as humble as yourself." She knew what she had done and shied away from that responsibility.
"Really? I don't consider myself humble." Eliz sighed, knowing that I wasn't going to relent.
"Citylord. I'm just a powerless noble. I hope you won't burden too much."
Instead of trying to escape, she wanted to lessen the favor she owed. I wouldn't do that because she asked to, but I won't say anything about it. All I could do was smile and leave it at that.
"You're the new city lord? No wonder you have so much skill for such a young age." Sean muttered the last part, but I could hear what he said.
"Everyone! Why don't we start this eting now that everyone is here?" Sean continued and gathered everyone around. I didn't know what the people did at this eting, but listening was fine.
"Before we start, why don't we introduce a special guest?" Sean's eyes darted to , prompting him to say I was the special guest.
"This is Charles, the new city lord. Like us, he's soone our age who has already started making remarkable achievents."
So this eting was to flex on our achievents? He nodded to , and I nodded and began to speak.
"I'm Charles Anderson, the new city lord. Before coming to this city, the goddess herself recomnded that I take the lead. Let tell you a little about myself."
"Before coming to this city, I had razed countless countries. I stopped counting after ten, but I think I'm qualified enough." Seeing that everyone had no words ant I must have done a great job. With what I did in my previous world, my qualification as a destroyer was undeniable.
"Yeah... That's great..." Speechless by my words, Sean continued moving forward with the talk.
"Anyways, did you all hear the news? My father had slain General Cruix. Those bastards from Eurgesh will soon et their end."
Talk about hypocrisy. They didn't seem to like how I talked about my previous adventures and was excited by Sean's dad's achievents.
Besides that, Eurgesh seed to be a neighboring city near us. This city was too small to be considered a country, so the enemies we will likely have will also be city-sized.
The whole day, the nobles talked about what was happening in the city and what they were doing. I had gathered information I wouldn't usually find, and it was great that I ca here.
"This concludes today's eting." Everyone said what they needed, and Sean himself concluded the eting.
Out of everyone, excluding , Sean himself held the highest position. Sheldon held the highest position, but since he left, Sean was the one to take over. This eting showed how well the hierarchy worked. Cecilia was near the upper middle, and Eliz was part of the upper top.
"Kelsy, we're leaving." Since the eting was over, it was ti to leave.
Before I left, most people in the room bid farewell, disappointed that I was leaving so early. They had hoped they could form a connection with since I was in a higher position.
"Charles, take this." Cecilia handed a circular device.
"What's this?"
"It's a communication device." Communication device? Compared to a phone, this device was made differently.
"When you have ti, call ." Since she had offered, I had no reason to decline such a gift.
"Wait! Add to the contact list. I have involved you with my problem." Eliz ca over and snatched my device. She handled the device, and I saw how so of it worked. After adding her contact list, she returned the device, and it was ti for to leave.

"Master," Kelsy said in a quiet and nervous tone.
"What is it?" We were returning ho in silence, with Kelsy making small talk.
"Can I ask why you dislike vampires?" Hearing her say those words, I stared at her and stopped walking.
"..."
Kelsy knew I disliked her but wanted to know the source of the problem. I understood her intentions, but asking that of soone who dislikes them was incredibly stupid.
It was like asking soone to recall their mories of sothing they hated. I would have sent her to hell and made her live there for eternity if I didn't know her intentions.
After the brief silence, Kelsy realized she had done sothing wrong. While she didn't know what she had done wrong, she had felt my gaze.
I wasn't going to waste my energy lecturing her. I ignored her previous question and returned to my ho.
"Master! Please forgive !" Right before we returned, Kelsy begged for forgiveness.
"Hah... You're forgiven." I sighed and found this person troubleso in a different sense than most. Knowing that I wouldn't punish her gave her a sense of relief.
"My lord. Did you have a satisfied outing?" The head butler had stood out of the mansion gate and greeted .
"The city is better than I thought. I had taken a liking to the place. Tell the chef that I want sothing to eat. I will be there after resting in my room."
"Very well, young lord. Please ask the maid beside you if you want to refresh yourself in a nice bath."
"I will bring your consideration to fruition." I looked at Kelsy, telling her to do just that.
There wasn't anything exciting that I was going to do in my room. Now that a bath has been suggested, I might test how well it feels.
Returning to my room, I sat on my bed and began to think about the people back on Earth. It had already been a week since I left, and the hosickness I had felt was already starting to pick up.
"Master. The bath is ready." Kelsy's voice had stopped my depressing thought, and with the bath ready, I moved out of my room and entered the bath.
