Starting From Today I'll Work As A City Lord の小説・ストーリー

Lorenzo replied with a genuine smile this time, responding, "Good morning." Georgina then inquired about Lorenzo not going to work that day, to which he explained that Saturdays were optional for work. She nodded, her curiosity piqued, and mentioned that he seemed more relaxed compared to the previous night. Lorenzo tried to play it off, asking, "What do you mean?"

“We are pleased to make your acquaintance, City Lord.” “You have finally told me your names,” the City Lord smiled and said. He was a bit surprised that they hadn’t given him their titles but their actual names, and that improved his impression of them. How was he supposed to know that neither Mane nor Lam nor Lily had any titles? Lam and Lily had no strength until recently, so they didn’t have titles. And Mane was someone who had only joined this world a few months ago, so he also didn’t have a title. But the revelation of their names had more of an impact than they anticipated. After all, to reveal their names instead of their titles was basically them saying that they were willing to put

"Yes, sir. Can I know what my mission is?" "Let me congratulate you first, Bryce. I'm not sending you to Buck Town on a mission, but you're going to be the new City Lord of Buck Town. Yes, you're going to participate in the Ruler's Alliance meetings with me in no time." "What?" Bryce fell to the ground on his knees. "Sir, I've never had any intentions of surpassing you as City Lord. Please give me a chance to prove myself, Lord George…"

"Your Highness, what were you doing in the city?" a man asked as he nervously kept his head down. "City? What are you talking about? I haven't been to the city. I have my assignments to complete. The turf war with the Agrestia empire is still ongoing. I've yet the time to spend leisurely. It's such a joke when that so called empire is more similar to a tiny country and yet, they procure so much issues. Sigh... You should know that. It is an assignment from my Father. So, why would I be out prancing about the city?" a voice lightly chuckled dissatisfied as the man who kept his head lowered flinched.

He chuckled lightly. "We don't but I'm willing to deal with that if it means that we don't have to be here any longer." He explained. My mind began to think of all the new things that this would bring. A new city. Meaning a new Lord, meaning a new castle, new people, new vampires and a whole set of different laws. I briefly wondered what kind of Lord Nico's father was and how differently he ran his city. All my life I had lived under the rule of Lord Bronwyn, so I couldn't even begin to imagine a different society.

"Want to know what I actually do?" "I... what?" "I run this city. The parts people don't like to talk about. The dangerous parts." His smile was sharp. Predatory. "You hired a fucking call boy and got a mafia boss instead. How's that for irony?" The room tilted. "You're lying," Lia whispered.

“Are you really sure about this, Charity?” Charity took a deep breath, forcing a bitter smile. “I have no choice, Milet.” “You always have a choice, Charity.” But Charity shook her head, slumping onto the sofa. “I spent the entire day looking for a job. No one hired me. And next week, I have to send money to my aunt. If I don’t, I’m screwed.” Milet stared at her with pity. “Just let me make this decision, Milet. If this ends badly, I’ll deal with it,” Charity said, her tone resolute.

I turned around and saw a punk with blond hair and a sleazy air all over him swaggering over. "I'm the landlord. You were looking for me?" He squinted his eyes and sized me up from head to toe. "Where's Mr. Lawson?" I frowned. My apartment had always been managed by Mr. Lawson from the agency, and he had been very responsible. "Looks like you've done your homework and know my uncle's surname," he said smugly. "I'll be honest with you, my uncle's on a business trip. This place is my turf now!"

They continue on a road and Zane asks, "where does his path lead to? And where does the other one back there lead to?" Lucia looks at Clarisse and sees she still doesn't want to talk. So, she answers instead, "this place is just a city called 'Nigespear' the center of all trades. The land is divided into 4 kingdoms, the kingdom of the east, Esperia is where we are currently going on this way.

I cannot believe I wasted ten minutes of my life just to hear this bullshit. “I think it was all of you who feels truly threatened here, my lords. The last time I checked, the city and the people are doing perfectly okay. They are my people. I know them better than you all do and I would wager that in my own way, I interact with them more than you do. They know they are safe inside the city walls. Even if the Hunters were to miraculously rise from the ashes, our army can handle them. With or without my marriage, the city will still be stable and peaceful. So, stop discussing nonexistent troubles and get straight to the damn point,” I told them in a placid voice.
