By this point, you would guess that she was also a busty woman, but that isn't the case. She's as flat as a chopping board. It was a wonder how she became a receptionist.
"I would like to meet the City Lord," Kenova replied.
"The City Lord?" The receptionist blinked her eyes at him in surprise.
"Is there a problem?" Kenova asked.
"Are you here to ask for help?" The receptionist asked.
"I'm here under the Third Princess' orders," Kenova said and showed her Humility's medallion.
"T-The Third Princess!? Alright! I will go call the City Lord!"
The receptionist panicked and took the medallion with her to show it to the City Lord.
They didn't wait for long before the receptionist came back panting.
"F-Follow me!"
They followed behind her as she led them through the vast hallway of the merchant guild. Compared to the somewhat busy lobby of the Merchant Guild, this part of the guild was quiet.
The receptionist led them left and right before she stopped in front of a door.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Guild Master, the envoy of the Third Princess, is here," the receptionist said through the door.
"Enter," a deep male voice replied.
The receptionist opened the door and made way for Lawrend's group.
Lawrend took a step back and waited for Kenova to go first before he followed him inside. It would be weird if the envoy weren't in the lead.
Inside the room was a large room. There were large maps on the three sides of the walls of the room. In the center was a serious-looking man wearing eyeglasses.
He was sitting on an office table as he stared at Kenova. He looked to be in his 25's, and Lawrend thought of him as a formidable nerd.
"Envoy, what is your business here?" the Guild Master asked.
"The Third Princess wants me to oversee and become this city's City Lord," Kenova replied and stood forward.
He was a proud member of his clan. He wouldn't be intimidated by a City Lord.
"Hm? This is the medallion, right?" the Guild Master asked and lifted the medallion Humility gave him.
"Yes. She entrusted that to me."
"Are you sure you didn't pick this up on the street?" the Guild Master asked skeptically.
"Before I answer that question, who are you?" Kenova asked.
It was hard for him to judge who this Guild Master in front of them was.
"Ah. My apologies. My name is Von Gavan. I'm the 75th Guild Master of the Merchant Guild Branch of Passage City, and also the current City Lord of this city," Von introduced himself.
"City Lord Von Gavan, as I said earlier, I would like to take your position," Kenova said.
"Do you have any proof that the Third Princess really said those words?" Von asked with squinted eyes.
"I…"
Kenova panicked and glanced towards Lawrend and Humility behind him.
Humility stood behind him and passed him a letter she had already prepared beforehand.
"T-Thank you, my maid. Here is the letter, City Lord Von Gavan," Kenova's mouth twitched as he said that.
He felt chills from the gaze Lawrend was giving him. Lawrend felt offended when he heard Kenova call Humility 'my maid'.
Of course, Kenova knew that. He sweated bullets as he tried to calm himself. Calling the Princess of the kingdom his maid was horrifying, but he had to do it.
"To the City Lord of Passage City,
May this letter find its way to you through my Envoy. I hereby order you to cease your position of City Lord and cede it to Kenova. He is my trusted subordinate, and I have major plans for the city.
Sincerely,
Third Princess Kasina Humility Undrasil."
"Hmmm… I understand. And your full name is?" Von asked.
"My name is Kenova Bruedin. I'm a member of the direct line of my clan," Kenova introduced himself.
"Bruedin Clan? What deal did your clan make the Third Princess?"
It was odd for the princess to suddenly decide to take control of a city. He could only think that it was because of the Bruedin Clan pulling some strings behind the scenes.
"My clan has nothing to do with my actions. The Third Princess approached me herself. And as her loyal subordinate, I'm enacting her will," Kenova replied.
"Interesting. The murky waters of the kingdom are finally starting to move…" Von muttered and gazed at the map to his right.
It showed a top view of the location where the capital city was located.
"So, what is your decision?" Kenova asked.
"Frankly, I hate being the City Lord. As the prodigy son of the Gavan Clan, I'm more inclined to deal with business-related stuff," Von replied.
"How did you even become the City Lord? You look so young," Kenova replied in slight awe.
It was unimaginable for him to think that someone who looks to be in their 25's could be the City Lord. He also doesn't feel any suffocating strength coming from his body.
"At first, I was a receptionist. Then a manager, supervisor, vice guild master, and finally, the Guild Master. The title of Guild Master also means that I'm the City Lord of the city. My merchant skills impressed everyone in the guild. Even the former Guild Master ceded his position in shame," Von replied.
"That's amazing. So does that mean that you're officially ceding your City Lord position to me?" Kenova asked.
He was excited. Although he was just a pawn, controlling a city as prosperous as Passage City will give him power within his clan.
"Indeed, but under one condition," Von replied solemnly.
"I'm all ears."
"You have to consult with me before you make a heavy decision. I don't want you to abuse your power," Von replied.
When he heard Von's words, Lawrend was impressed. Just like a smart merchant, he was insuring his future.
"I only have to consult you, right?" Kenova asked.
There was a hidden meaning behind his words. It meant that he could ignore Von's words if he liked.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
