Chapter 269  Chrome City (Part V)

"Citylord. I'm sure you don't need much for someone 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 me too much."

Instead of trying to escape, she wanted to lessen the favor she owed. I wouldn't do that because she asked me 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 meeting now that everyone is here?" Sean continued and gathered everyone around. I didn't know what the people did at this meeting, but listening was fine.

"Before we start, why don't we introduce a special guest?" Sean's eyes darted to me, prompting him to say I was the special guest.

"This is Charles, the new city lord. Like us, he's someone our age who has already started making remarkable achievements."

So this meeting was to flex on our achievements? He nodded to me, and I nodded and began to speak.

"I'm Charles Anderson, the new city lord. Before coming to this city, the goddess herself recommended that I take the lead. Let me 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 meant 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 meet 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 achievements.

Besides that, Eurgesh seemed 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 came here.

"This concludes today's meeting." Everyone said what they needed, and Sean himself concluded the meeting.

Out of everyone, excluding me, Sean himself held the highest position. Sheldon held the highest position, but since he left, Sean was the one to take over. This meeting showed me 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 meeting was over, it was time to leave.

Before I left, most people in the room bid me farewell, disappointed that I was leaving so early. They had hoped they could form a connection with me since I was in a higher position.

"Charles, take this." Cecilia handed me 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 time, call me." Since she had offered, I had no reason to decline such a gift.

"Wait! Add me to the contact list. I have involved you with my problem." Eliz came over and snatched my device. She handled the device, and I saw how some of it worked. After adding her contact list, she returned the device, and it was time for me to leave.

"Master," Kelsy said in a quiet and nervous tone.

"What is it?" We were returning home 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 someone who dislikes them was incredibly stupid.

It was like asking someone to recall their memories of something 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 something 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 home.

"Master! Please forgive me!" Right before we returned, Kelsy begged for forgiveness.

"Hah... You're forgiven." I sighed and found this person troublesome 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 me.

"The city is better than I thought. I had taken a liking to the place. Tell the chef that I want something 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 homesickness 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.
