Boom!
The sound of the thunder shook in the sky as the rain drops started to poured down. This was the last rain before the autumn harvest, which was ten days later.
Lucas sat in his chair in front of the desk with his eyes closed. Nicole was massaging his shoulders slowly with her hands. Mina and Annie were eating snacks on the other side of the table.
Knock knock…
Someone knocked on the door, and Lucas opened his eyes and said, “Come in.”
Ben opened the door of the studyroom and walked in. He had already taken off his knight armor and had changed back into his butler’s uniform. He smiled and said, “Young master, the War Wolves completed their mission. After doing as you said, their complacent hearts have calmed down.”
“Mhmm. Don’t lower their rewards.” Lucas smiled lightly. If the War Wolves would fail with the equipment that they had, then he would have renamed them Maggot Squad.
“It has already been arranged." Ben said, nodding his head.
“Have they confessed?” Lucas said, crossing his arms. “Tomorrow is an important day. I don’t want any mistakes.”
“Young master, the food merchants are all weak willed. We only used two of the interrogation methods you taught, and they already fainted from fear."
Ben shivered as he thought about the interrogation methods Lucas had told him. They included using bamboo sticks to stab nails, cutting the skin and putting in maggots, and even killing by using a thousand needle.
“It’s good that they confessed. I’ll give them the punishment that they deserve tomorrow.”
The food merchants had thought that their plan was perfect and hadn’t expected to be defeated before they even took any action.
One of the food merchants, who had been drunk, said things like killing Lucas and stuff. One of the day laborers heard that, and the information was soon sent to Lucas.
Day laborers were short term workers. Merchants preferred to use day laborers because they could easily kick them away with money after making them work for a few days.
The day laborer who heard what the drunk food merchant said worked for Lucas and could eat properly. If Lucas died, his family would starve. So without waiting, he informed Lucas about the food merchant.
Lucas has already gotten the heart of the residents of Sedona City, even though it was a bit shallow. However, it won't be long before the whole city will be loyal to him.
“Young master, do you really want to do that tomorrow?” Ben decided to voice his concern after hesitating for a while. “The civilians would be afraid.”
Lucas looked at the nervous Mina and Annie. “Don’t underestimate the civilians. They’re more courageous than you think.”
“But won’t the sudden addition of beastkins have a large impact on the citizens?” Ben was shocked when Lucas first talked about it. It was unprecedented for beastkins to become part of a city.
Most of the beastkins in the capital were slaves. Free beastkins could only be seen in the shadows.
Ben thought of beastkins as people that eat a lot and looked weird. He especially didn’t like the rude looking ones. Of course, he wouldn’t be able to hate beastkins like Mina and Annie.
“No. This is a good time. We need beastkins, and they need us.” Lucas patted Nicole’s hand and stood up. “I will open the confinement of their minds. I see hope in what they see as horror.”
Ben opened his mouth and closed it again silently. He saluted and walked away.
Since Lucas wasn’t afraid, then he, as Lucas’s butler, would have to go and prepare safety measures for Lucas security.
“Lord Lucas, why would you go so far for us beastkins? You should know that with the way you’re doing it, it would be hard for the human race to accept us.” Annie asked. She had broken out in a cold sweat when she first heard the plan. The plan was crazy to her.
She had thought that Lucas would let her companions live in the territory by giving them a piece of hidden land to live in. Instead, Lucas was trying to let her companions live in Sedona City openly.
“Because I need beastkins, I need you guys.” Lucas said, smiling gently and looking at Annie and Mina.
“Young master, I am always ready.” Mina said, flicking her wrist. A military knife appeared in her hand.
“… I …” Annie lowered her head. Her heart was in turmoil. She couldn’t believe that there were people that thought that beastkins were needed, especially among the corrupted nobles.
“You can try to believe in me at least once. If you don’t even dare to try, then the results will only exist in your dream land.” Lucas said gently.
Sedona City has a pretty small population. In this era, the human population is also a type of resource. Lucas needed a large number of people for many of his plans. That's why he also introduced the plan for baby making in the city.
“I- I will let them into the city to- tomorrow,” Annie said, raising her head. “I believe in Mina. I'm saying if Lord Lucas can allow the beastkins to be incorporated into the city, I, Annie, will be your people.”
'My people???' The corner of Lucas’s mouth twitched as he looked at Annie, who was so embarrassed that her face became red. 'What the heck is this?'
“Cough cough…” Annie ran out of the study room while covering her face with her hands. She reprimanded herself as she ran. 'Annie, what’s wrong with you? How could you say such humiliating words? Weren’t you supposed to say that you were going to serve Lord Lucas? How come the words came out differently? Didn’t you always say that you can’t trust humans?
But Lord Lucas does seem to be different. Will tomorrow really be the day where hope starts? My attempt… shouldn’t be a waste.'
The inner world of the fox girl was rich with thoughts.
