?We were able to come back before the party ended and were able to reintegrate ourselves in the celebration without any problems.
When it was all over, I pulled Haley aside to tell her a few things.
"Develop this place, but don't develop too deep. Make sure to never come close to the door, or else it'll be the end of the world."
Haley was very confused when she heard this and she looked at Cecilia for an explanation, but Cecilia just shook her head to show that she didn't understand.
Even though she had been with him this entire time, she hadn't understood a single thing about what he did.
Still, since these were his orders, she chose to follow them to the end.
Afterwards, we stayed for another two weeks to start building up the town.
Since it was already decided that this place would be developed as a dungeon town, it took no time at all to start building up a few things.
There were several more people that were called here by Haley and it was resembling a town by the time that we left.
There was an inn, a branch of Haley's store, and even an Adventurer Guild that had been built.
In time, there would be more people that immigrated to this place, but for now, it would just be an outpost for exchanging items for the adventurers and mercenaries who would stay to explore the dungeon.
Though if possible, I really wanted to seal this dungeon off forever…
Still, I knew that this was impossible, so I just accepted the current situation.
For now, it didn't seem like anyone would reach the door in the back of the dungeon.
When I arrived back in my territory, the first thing that happened was…
Rose suddenly greeted me with a bunch of butlers and maids as soon as I arrived at our manor.
I couldn't help being caught off guard by this, but then she pointed at me and said, "Grab him!"
I didn't struggle as the butlers came forward to grab me, but I looked at her with a confused look as I asked, "What's happening?"
Rose didn't explain at all as she gave the butlers and maids instructions, "Make sure that he's completely cleaned up in an hour. I'll need him to come to the meeting with me and to look his best, so do all that you can."
"Yes, madam!" The maids and butlers said before dragging me away.
I just looked at Rose with a shocked look, but she didn't look in my direction at all.
She was surrounded by many different people that were asking her about different things.
So I could only let myself be dragged off with a bitter smile on my face.
Over the next hour, I was bathed and forced to wear different clothes until they finally picked out an outfit for me.
It seemed like there was more, but luckily Rose had sent someone to call me over.
So the butlers and maids had no choice but to do a rush job and finish off my dress up session.
By the end of it, when I looked at myself in the mirror, it really was hard to recognize who was looking back. After all, it looked like a completely different person was looking back at me.
I was dressed in completely formal clothes, clothes that I had seen other nobles wear, but I would never wear myself. At the same time, my hair was completely slicked back and gave me a refreshing look.
Though I looked like I was just forced into a fancy outfit, it would be a lie to say that I looked bad.
With the appearance that I had in this body, it really made anything look good.
But I didn't get long to admire my new appearance as I was dragged to a meeting.
This was a meeting in the center of the town, where the town hall was.
When I came in, I found that this room was filled with people.
There wasn't a single person that I recognized, or at least that was what I thought at first glance. When I looked closely, I found that there was someone that I recognized.
It was Viscount Henry's wife.
She was standing behind Rose who stood at the very front of this meeting.
It seemed that she had adapted well to her role as Rose's assistant since the two of them were standing together like it was natural.
When Rose saw me, she waved her hand for me to come over. The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l--B1n.
As she did this, I could feel the various gazes that were turned in my direction.
Sensing this, I raised my back to stand up straight and walked forward towards Rose.
The gazes that were on me had different intentions, but it didn't seem like any of them had ill intentions. There were many gazes that were filled with curiosity and respect.
At the same time, it seemed like there were a few gazes that seemed to be sizing me up.
I just hoped that I was making a good impression.
After walking over to Rose, she just gestured to the podium at the front of the meeting for me.
I was surprised, but with everyone staring at me like this, I had no choice but to go up.
When I came over to the podium, I was surprised to find that there were already notes waiting for me on it. It seemed that Rose had already prepared everything for me and had just been waiting for me to arrive.
I took a quick look over these notes and immediately figured out what was happening.
This was a meeting about the plan that we had put in place for this area.
This was a plan that was about to unveil what kind of business we wanted the lords of each area to engage in.
The ones that were at this meeting were the representatives who had been sent by these lords, so it was no wonder they were sizing me up.
So now, I would have to address them and introduce everything to build prestige for myself.
I couldn't help giving a secret bitter laugh.
It seemed that Rose had prepared quite the role for me.
