Chapter 271 Second Day
"Master! Please wake up! There's sothing urgent that needs to be said!" I woke up to Kelsy banging on the door. I raised my arms and yawned.
I had used magic as a force to open the door. Once you have enough control over your magic, you can easily make it behave like a physical force.
"Co in..." I was still groggy after waking up, but the drowsiness had disappeared once I thought about it.
"Master! There's a dead body in our yard! A bloody one at that!" Panic had run over her, and she urged to co over.
"I know, I put it there."
"..." All the emotions within Kelsy had died down after hearing my words. She froze and stared at , unsure of what to say.
"A stalker was peeping into my room. I made sure to teach him a lesson. Go tell everyone that it was ."
I shooed Kelsy away, and she ran away out of fear. What I did to the man would scare anyone. Not only was he dead, but the way he died was also horrible.
His skin was peeled off, and the insides of his body were revealed. Any sane person would be disturbed by the sight. With Kelsy gone, I did a few stretches and went to the dining room.
"My lord. Is it true that the body was your doing?" Getting breakfast, the head butler asked if what I did was true.
"Yes. He was also quite rude. Not only did he spy on , but when I brought him in front of , he attacked with the intent to kill . So, I punished him and broke him."
"Did you find out who sent the spy?"
"Of course, all I needed to do was search his mory. I could torture him without holding back."
I had established fear among my people. Being a tyrant had many uses. First, it makes people fear and suppress anyone who thinks of trying to overthrow . It was also the quickest way for people to obey .
While it would make people fearful, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a group that would try to end . It didn't matter in the end, considering I had no plans to rule this city forever.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, please enjoy your al." After bringing my al, the head butler left.

[Third-Person POV]
"The city lord is more dangerous than I thought. News of an attacker had reached the city, and one of our observers had disappeared." The old man said it with a frown. His face blackens, realizing the consequences that might happen.
"It's safe to assu that the observer was killed. Do you think the observer has compromised us?" The female voice replied, unsure what to do.
"Whether he revealed that we were the ones who sent him doesn't matter. All the city lord is an artifact that could read a person's mind."
"What should we do? Should we get soone to eliminate him now, imdiately?"
The woman's question had irked the old man. "Eliminate? If we eliminate him now, we will be viewed as traitors." The old man sighed at the problem they were facing.
"The goddess has given the city lord the position by her order. We've already eliminated the previous city lord due to his incompetence. Killing him in two days would make her question us. We can only apologize to him or run away to a new city." The old, tired voice spoke as he thought of the solution.
"Let's go with that." Coming to a decision the old man decided.
[Charles' POV]
"City Lord, are you prepared?" Commander Sander had arrived first thing in the afternoon.
"Let's get it over with." I wasn't excited or uncooperative with this task. All I needed to do was get it over with and see if I could do anything to make it easier.
Following the commander, he showed all the facilities in the army. Instead of teaching , I could practically feel he wanted to focus the funding on the military.
"As for your everyday work, you will oversee all the paperwork. There would be an occasion when people would et you for an essential discussion about the city. That is all."
Paperwork? I knew that I would eventually do those, but when you think about it, why should I? As soone with power and money, I could always hire soone to do the work.
"Commander Sanders, get a slave. We're going to make them do my work for ."
"But..." Before Sanders could speak, I interrupted him.
"Get slaves that are educated and will obey my orders no matter what. Just make sure they're knowledgeable about these types of work." All Sanders could do was obey my command.
"Before you leave, tell sothing about the city of Eurgesh. I heard that they were at our borders."
"The city of Eurgesh has been our enemy for years. A few years ago, a new deity has taken over and has chosen our city to conquer. For all these years, we have been in a deadlock."
"Then do you know what kind of deity they worship?"
"It hasn't been confird but I heard it's the god of death." My face darkened upon hearing those words.
While gods and goddesses were powerful beings, those in the sixth realm shouldn't truly be able to kill . However, the god of death was an exception to those rules.
The god would definitely have a way to bypass those with immortality. If I made my way to Eurgesh and destroyed it single-handedly, I would be the face of a target.
"Do you know what realm the god of death is?" If the god was in the sixth realm, then my chances of being killed by it were lowered. I looked at Sanders and waited for his answer.
"That, I don't." I sighed, hearing Sander's words. I guess I would have to put an effort into this war.
