ACT 8 Dreams Come True

Its an honour to serve you again.

The estates secretaries were never present whenever there was a siege. The person who greeted him with a friendly smile was Berami, the secretary in charge of managing the territory, legal counsel and the budget.The money he had freely scattered before leaving Silvana was still displaying an effect.That money didnt just have an effect on Berami.

The residents are also glad that you became the Lord again. After hearing that Ark-nim had applied for a siege, quite of lot of people went to the Shrine of War to pray for your victory. Everybody still remembers your actions while you were the Lord.

Its more like they remember the gold.

Anyway, being liked by the estates residents wasnt an unpleasant feeling.

Did the former Lord have a bad reputation?

It wasnt bad but it wasnt good either. He was just a normal Lord.

Berami pushed up his glasses and laughed.

His cynical character hadnt changed even after 1 year. But he always showed the proper manners to Ark.

That was the power of money.

Anyway, he truly felt like he had recaptured Silvana after seeing Beramis face.

Please stay the Lord for a long time.

Thats what I intend.

Ark replied with a smile.

Would you like to know how the territory changed since you were last here?

Of course.

The competent secretary instantly handed him some files.After he took the papers, an information window appeared.
