Just as Sylvia was inwardly flustered and thinking of consulting Edward on what to do, a visitor arrived. “Nice to meet you. I have heard of the Castle Lord’s great accomplishments.” A priest with a gentle voice greeted them, standing at the entrance, wearing a veil. The servants responded, and through Gina, Edward and Sylvia were called. Edward openly furrowed his brows. Gina, puzzled by the usually sociable Edward’s unexpected reaction, asked the priest about his…-

Edward was trying to buy a carriage, but currently, all the construction workshops were fully booked. The town rebuilding plan was progressing rapidly, and the parts that Sylvia hadn’t handled, as well as those that required repairs after she had worked on them, were making orders pile up, causing an outcry. “I give up. I guess I’ll have to go to the neighboring town to buy one. It was quite prosperous, so they should have some workshops.” Edward murmured as he scratched his…

Next, Sylvia worked on repairing the waterway. The waterways were maintained throughout the country, but maintenance was particularly advanced in the Duchy. The well-maintained public facilities were one of the Duchy’s prides. Along Sylvia’s journey, there were paid public toilets, artificial streams with drinkable water, and water pumps scattered along the road. Despite this, such a large town was not maintained at all… Edward furrowed his brows at this thought. Sylvia…

Edward first negotiated with the Mayor. He believed that the possibility of the Mayor betraying them was low due to the magic cast by Sylvia. Although the Mayor wouldn’t do anything he disliked even if ordered, he would comply if it was something necessary to the Lord, due to the nature of the magic. “You said taxes haven’t been collected, right? But now that Lady Sylvia has become the Lord, we will collect them properly. Especially since Lady Sylvia has just become the Lord…

It was the day the Mayor had promised. The slope inside the outer walls of the fortress… It was probably a square for gathering the people, and the residents had gathered there. The Mayor had made an announcement to all the residents. The Ducal House finally sent a Lord, and the Lord promised to repair the city. However, a meeting with all the residents was necessary first. Everyone had to attend without exception – no representatives or proxies would be allowed. Regardless of…

The next day, the three of them dressed up and headed to the Mayor’s mansion. The Mayor’s position was hereditary, and the office was essentially the Mayor’s mansion. When Edward informed the guard at the gate of their business, the guard was surprised and quickly went to confirm. “Welcome! The Mayor will see you!” The guard, using incorrect honorifics, saluted and guided them. The Mayor’s mansion was one of the more splendid buildings in this town, but…

The three arrived in town. “It’s quite prosperous.” “Yes, it’s beautiful and has a nice atmosphere.” Edward and Gina exchanged their impressions. Sylvia, on the other hand, seemed to have no particular thoughts and walked absentmindedly, led by Gina. After walking for a while, Edward stopped and looked at the two of them. “I’ll go gather information, so could you two go shopping for daily necessities?” “…? I can use ma-”…

“Edward, please make something with this.” When the two turned towards Sylvia’s voice, they saw that she had created another piece of mysterious meat. Edward smiled at Sylvia with a scary grin, making Sylvia flinch. “Lady Sylvia, what are you doing? I asked you to prepare the feed for the livestock because I couldn’t do it myself… but I didn’t ask you to produce meat, did I?” Edward said this with exaggerated politeness. “Uh, ah, um.”…

Sylvia woke up because she smelled breakfast. She sat up and, first thing, said, “Edward is a genius.” “Yes yes, good morning.” “Good morning, Lady Sylvia. Let’s wash your face first.” The two greeted Sylvia, and Gina took her to the washroom. Watching them, Edward thought that Gina was doing a decent job as a waiting maid, but for Gina, it felt just like taking care of a small child. She was used to it because she had experience taking care of…
