When I opened my eyes. I saw a long list of words in front of me. Seeing them, a big smile appeared on my face.

What I had wished had happened. My Classes Drunkard and Fire Breather had merged, giving me Blaze Imbiber.

I also got new skills and many of my old skills upgraded.

I had wanted, Long Breath for months. With Power Breath, I would be able to breathe fire for a long distance. The Store Gulps, on the other hand, will help in store more alcohol in me.

The Liquor Perfume was an excellent skill, but it was not a skill I liked, while it made the smell of liquor pleasant; it announced that I was a drunkard.

It was also a passive skill. I could control it, but couldn’t turn it off. Now, I don’t have to worry about that. It had advanced into an Intoxicating Fragrance and was not a passive skill anymore.

I am quite excited about it and want to test it as soon as possible.

Though, of all the new and advanced skills. There is one skill, that made me very happy. It is not a rare skill for those who deal with fire, but people usually get it after Lv. 20.

Minor Fire Resistance.

The last battle proved how important this skill is. I had fought on a crowded battlefield and had been burned with my own fire. This skill would help me tremendously in dealing with that.

I looked at the new class I had got. Warrior. It is an essential class for me to survive on the battlefield.

Fire breathing alone is far from enough. I need to fight with weapons and be good at it. The class and those two skills will help me a lot with that.

There is an attribute; I wanted to use it immediately, but I kept it. I need to be very careful with the attributes; I had left the path of madam to peruse the other path, but August Madam is my primary class.

It won’t level up as fast as before. That means I will need to think about deeply, where I would put each of my attribute points.

“Looking at your face; it seemed like, you got a good level-up,” said the familiar voice. I turned and saw Cath sitting beside my bed, in the hospital.

I have been heavily injured; those explosions hit me pretty hard. It is a miracle that I had survived, with so many bone shards piercing me.

“It is a good level-up,” I replied. She smiled, but a moment later, her eyes became worried.

“I really wish, you wouldn’t do this. You had nearly died,” she said, before sighing, “But I can tell, it is something you truly want. I just hope you will be more careful with your life,” she said, pressing her hand into mine.

“I will,” I said to my friend.

I did not lie. I will be careful, but it is also a truth that, I will return to this place many times. Sometimes, in a worse condition, than I had earlier.

It is scary to think about it, but I will not leave the path. It is what I had chosen, and I will walk on it till the end.

{Conditions Met: Valorous Governor – Valorous Lord}

Valorous Lord Lv. 20

Valorous Lord Lv. 21

{Skill Gained: Laws of My Land}

{Skill Change: Persuasive – Silver Tongue}

{Skill Change: Lords Mood—Mood of the Subjects}

{Skill Change: Underhand Dealings – Artistic Dealings}

{Skill Change: Governors Presence – Lords Presence}

{Skill Changed: Weighted Strike—Mauling Strike}

“It had happened,” I said, looking for the advancement of the governor’s class into the lord class.

A true ruling class.

The governor is a semi-ruling class, not a true ruling class like the lord is.

My lord class is more powerful than the common lord class. It is a Valorous Lord, not a common lord class that Lancel has.

It is a class that many desire, but a few have it.

I have got the class, and even attributes since it had regressed in level. Though, what I am excited about are the skills.

With lord class, the power of my skills has increased by a lot. Many had even upgraded.

Persuasive becomes Silver Tongue, which is a passive skill. Far more valuable, than active Persuasive. As persuasion couldn’t be used in all settings; it is considered rude to use it outside of a specific setting.

I will not have such restrictions on the Silver Tongue. It is a passive skill; it will always be running. Nobody would find a fault in that.

The Lord’s Mood had a reversal. It had changed into Mood of the Subjects; it is a rare skill among the Lord Class and a tremendous help to someone like me. I am quite excited about using it.

The Underhand Dealings had turned into Artistic Dealings. It is more suitable for my current position.

The Governor’s Presence had turned into the Lord’s Presence. It is a skill, that many Lords desire. It is the stamp of their authority, as this skill suppresses the lower-level classes actively.

They aren’t called ruling classes for nothing.

The Weighed Strike is the only combat skill that had advanced. It had advanced to Mauling Strike. My expression turned a little strange when I looked at the skills.

Usually, this skill is obtained by mercenaries or crime-related classes, like gang members or some. I hadn’t heard any lord getting it, but then again, no lord in the right mind would advertise having such skill.

The last skill is the Laws of My Land.

I sigh heavily when I look at this skill. It is a very powerful skill. Very rare among the ruling classes.

Even when one gets this skill; they are usually at Lv. 30 or even at Lv. 40.

It is not a powerful skill in a direct sense. It works more subtly, but its effects are big.

For me, it is a perfect skill, seeing I want to shape the city culturally and economically. The laws will play a big part in that.

My city is small with people lower level than the big cities. This skill will help tremendously, and its effects will become stronger and benefit greater as the city progress and prosper.

As for what the skill does. It binds the citizens to laws; it creates a faint compulsion for people to follow them.

It will help massively to enforce the changes I am making in the constitution.

I turned to the attribute point. I wanted to use it desperately on the strength, but I put it on the charm, taking it to nineteen.

I closed my eyes to feel its effects before opening them.

Both the Dealer of Desire and the Valorous Lord deviate heavily toward charm. I need it as strong as possible because there are a lot of political challenges ahead and higher points in charm make my skills more powerful.

I looked at the window for a while before closing it and getting off the bed.

It is a late afternoon. I had slept for six hours; it was a good sleep without any nightmares. I feel rested.

The injuries still ache, much less than before.

Now, that my class had advanced. My injuries would also heal faster; the ruling class has much greater attribute weight than the other classes, making it powerful.

It is why; I had faintly stumbled walking out of the bed.

I didn’t immediately go to the bathroom to freshen up. Instead, I stretched to get control over the new strength before walking into the bathroom.

Click!

Ten minutes later, I walked out of my room and saw Shaun sitting on a sofa alone. There is Jon, but he is invisible, and more guards outside of the door.

“Any news?” I asked.

A surprise appeared in his eyes before he quickly controlled himself.

“Yes, many.” He replied. “The old lord of Gailhorn had resigned; the new lord is Cleon Daphis,” he informed.

Stone was right; they had changed the leadership.

Cleon Daphis was the commander of the Gailhorn and, a veteran of the imperial army. He had participated in many wars, but now, he had allied with the undead.

I am not angry at him. I am sure, he must have thought about it before switching allegiance. I am just glad, that his city’s spared. If the undead had attacked it and conquered it, hundreds of thousands would have died.

“There is a message from him. He likes to talk to you,” he said. “Did he inform about what?” I asked, to which he nodded. “Yes, he said, it is about the subject. You were planning to talk to the previous lord,” he replied.

It surprised me, but it also made me happy.

“Congratulate him in his new position and tell him, I am more willing to talk to him,” I replied.

It is bad that he got allied with the undead, but there are some benefits that might come out of it and my city desperately needs all the benefits I can get.

“What is happening with the battles at Deerpond and Port Midlet?” I asked.

When I slept, the battle was still being fought. I hope nothing bad happened, especially to the Deerpond. The river route is the lifeblood of the city. If something happens to it; the city will starve to death.

Hopefully, nothing bad should have happened, otherwise he would have woken me up.

“The undead retreated from the Port Midlet, while the battle was still being fought at the Deerpond,” he replied, and I felt relieved.

I opened my mouth to ask for further details on that when I saw him open his mouth again.

“The Lord of Port Midlet is said to be killed by the assassins. Taren Zanav had declared himself as the new lord of Port Midlet,” he informed.

“Bastard!” I cursed.

I wanted the bastard to die, but he is thriving. I hate to admit it, but the bastard is good. The last time, the undead had failed to capture the Port Midlet was solely because of his efforts.

Now, the lord of Port Midlet died. Killed by an assassin. If someone told me, he had some hand on it; I wouldn’t be surprised.

“They are saying it is undead, who did it right?” I asked, and he nodded. It might be true, but it could also be false.

“Congratulate him on his ascension,” I said.

A surprise flashed in Shaun’s eyes, but he nodded. I hate the bastard, but civility is necessary, now that he becomes lord of Port Midlet.
