After the battle, Byron made arrangements for White Peak Town, and then followed Emil back to Blackpool Town.

It was already midnight. In order not to let the public notice that he had been away for a while, Emil sneaked into the city lord's mansion quietly.

Also returning to Blackpool Town with him were Ophelia and Anne. Originally, Melissa also wanted to follow her sister, but after thinking about it carefully, if the Knights were without her, Charles would definitely not be able to accomplish anything.

So he chose to stay.

At this time, looking at his sneaky behavior, Byron couldn't help but feel doubtful. After all, he thought that Emil was really the lord of the city here, but he didn't expect that he had misunderstood.

Ophelia on the side understood the reason very well. Seeing Byron's puzzled expression, she leaned into his ear and told him the truth.

"Pfft," Byron couldn't help laughing, "Is there such a thing?"

"Oh, I made you laugh." Emil scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

Afterwards, everyone entered the mansion through the back door. In order to receive Byron, who was a candidate for the throne, the emir moved to the hall.

As a result, as soon as I came in, I saw three people sitting on chairs. They were Rena, Paglis, and Greia. They didn't know whether they were thinking about the problem or in a daze.

"Ahem," Emil coughed a few times and said, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

"...Ah, it's the Lord of the City!" Reina couldn't help exclaiming, and she approached Emil with excitement on her face.

"Rena, pay attention to your identity." Pagliese stood up immediately, but a little tremblingly, and scolded Reina with a straight face.

"Oh." Reina became more reserved indeed.

"Oh, Emil, you are finally back," Greya came to him with a smile, "I really miss you during your absence. I have been worried that if something happens to you, what will happen to me in the future?"

Live."

"Okay, okay, don't say such disgusting words." Emil frowned and stopped his flattery.

Today, he still remembers the promise he made to the people, saying that he would select ten nobles from among them in three days.

However, if he remembered correctly, he seemed to have missed the appointment, and it was already the fourth day.

"By the way, how is the selection of nobles going?" Emil looked at Paglis. After all, he was the most stable among the city lord's mansions.

"Ah..." Unexpectedly, Pagliese seemed to be at a loss for words.

"What happened?"

"Haha, that's it, let me explain it," Greya volunteered, and then said, "Oh, those people are really unruly people. They blocked the door of the mansion early this morning, loudly threatening to see you,

Otherwise, we would not leave, but you never came back, and we were in a difficult situation. Mr. Paglis had to tell them that the Lord of the City suddenly fell seriously ill and could not see people for the time being. However, they did not believe it and insisted on coming to comfort you in person. Finally,

Mr. Pagliese just..."

He said no more, because Pagliese was winking at him crazily.

"Why did you stop? Say it quickly!" Emil urged impatiently.

"This..." Greya hesitated, unable to speak for a long time.

"Forget it, Lena, tell me, what happened to Pagliese?"

"I...I'm sorry, Mr. Pagliese. Although I know that you don't want to deepen the conflict between the city lord and the people, I really can't hide this matter," Rena didn't want to say at first, but she glanced at Pagliese.

After Lisi's stooped figure, he still made up his mind, "It's like this. No matter how we reasoned, they just didn't listen. They also said that they would leave Blackpool Town if they didn't see the Lord of the City, leaving you to guard the empty city alone. Although there are also

The two people were trying to smooth things over, but the others were probably maliciously incited and just wanted to cause trouble. In the end, Mr. Paglis couldn't bear it anymore and got into a physical fight with them. Then he was kicked several times by those people and fell to the ground for a long time.

I can’t even stand up.”

"Tsk, what did these guys do? They actually repaid kindness with hatred. If it weren't for Emil, how could they have survived until now?" Ophelia said angrily.

"Oh, that's how humans are." Anne sneered.

"Okay, I'll take care of it next," Emil told them to calm down, then walked up to Pagliese, helped him sit on a chair, and asked with concern, "How is your health now? You're feeling better.

?”

"It's okay, it's really okay." Pagliese lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

"Pagris, this is not like you before. Haven't you always hated the common people?" Emil said seriously, "Why are you still struggling to support yourself even though you have been wronged? Do you see clearly who kicked you?

?”

Pagliese shook his head, then showed a pleading expression.

"Please, don't pursue this matter, okay? They are the only people left in this town. If you drive them away because of my affairs, or even kill those who kicked me, what will happen to you, the city lord?

It exists in name only.”

Paglis's words are really touching. He really hates the common people and has not changed until now. But for the sake of the future of the emir, he can actually ignore the past grudges against the common people who have offended him.

If it were the previous emir, he would definitely agree to Paglis's request, but now he is completely different. For the sake of the overall situation, he must eliminate those black sheep.

Moreover, he did not agree with Paglis's point of view. Even if there were only a few people left, he would still be the lord of this Blackpool town.

However, when he thought of this, he suddenly realized that he seemed not qualified to be the city lord because Leonard did not appoint him.

At this time, perhaps seeing his embarrassment, Byron, who had been standing next to him, came over and patted his shoulder with a smile.

"Emil, don't be discouraged so quickly. From now on, you will be the Lord of Blackpool Town. With me supporting you behind your back, let's see who dares to say that you are not qualified."

"..." Emil was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your consideration. I understand."

After that, Emil asked Reina to prepare another dinner to entertain the guests.

However, the Emir heard that they had been worried all day because of the riots of the people and had not eaten at all, so he decided to let the distinguished Byron have a meal before they could eat together.

"No, no, no, Emil, there is really no need," Byron immediately refused, he explained, "I am not the kind of pampered aristocrat, and I will not discriminate against the common people. You only treat me as a guest...

Oh no, just friends."

"Yes, Emil, don't be too polite." Ophelia also persuaded.

Since he said so, Emil had no choice but to do it.

After everyone finished eating, Emir solemnly promised to go to seek justice for Pagliese tomorrow.

Although Paglis still wanted to persuade, Emil comforted him in turn, saying that the town did not need that kind of people, and swallowing his anger would only make those people worse, and would eventually harm the town. Others also supported Emil's plan.

Pagoris finally nodded, and then, with the help of Reina and Greia, he recalled the three people who kicked him.

…

Early the next morning, Emil came to the central square of Blackpool Town alone. Before doing so, he ordered Greia to summon all the people.

He did not ask Ophelia and Anne to come together. After all, it was his responsibility as the city lord to deal with this kind of matter, and he had to do it himself.

However, Byron was curious about what Emil would do next, so he observed with others on a tall building not far away.

At this time, Emil stood on the high platform and looked at the people below with a serious face. Then, a respected old man came forward and said.

"Lord City Lord, you finally showed up. What happened yesterday..."

"Sorry, Lord City Lord, we have tried our best to persuade him." The woman standing with the old man also said quickly.

"I know, don't talk for now. I will make a judgment that is consistent with the facts." Emil said lightly, but it made people feel majestic.

"Yes." They nodded and retreated into the crowd.

Emir then looked at the others, coughed a few times, and then said, "I once promised you that I would select ten nobles from among you, and you agreed. However, I myself

There was something wrong, so I couldn't fulfill the agreement in time. I have to apologize to you for this. You can scold me for not being trustworthy, or you can just leave Blackpool Town, but you shouldn't hurt the people around me... Oh, I said it wrong.

Yes, it seems that Pagoris acted first, but isn’t this the fault of those who deliberately made trouble? So, what I want to say is, I can give you a chance, as long as you confess the troublemakers, and

Or if those people take the initiative to stand up and apologize to Paglis, I can forget about it, otherwise, I will not be the city lord, and anyone who wants to be can be the one."

Hearing what he said, Byron, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that this last sentence was really like something that only a child could say.

However, he secretly admired Emir's methods. If his brother could be half as good as Emir, he would probably have died long ago.

Of course Emil knew which people they were, but he just wanted to see what these people would do.

As he finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the audience. No one revealed the culprit, and naturally no one came forward. However, this did not mean that his words were ineffective, because he could see that everyone was hesitating.

Sure enough, after waiting patiently for a few minutes, someone finally stepped forward. They were two men and a woman, both in their thirties. They were wearing quite expensive clothes.

But unlike other people who originally had a good family background, even if they lived a miserable life for a few days, their bodies were still spotless and they were not disgraced.

At this time, Emil always felt that these three people were unfamiliar. He carefully counted the people present, and there were actually seventy-nine people.

He still remembered that there were originally eighty-six people, but later because he asked people to work and made some people dissatisfied, ten people left, so now there should be seventy-six people left.

The only possibility is that three of the ten people who left ran back.

At this time, they faced the Emir's questioning and took the initiative to stand up. Then they immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the Emir.

"Lord City Lord, what happened to the old housekeeper is indeed our fault. We admit our guilt now. You can punish us however you want, but there is one thing. Please give us a way to survive." The woman among them said with tears.

"Yes, we know we were wrong. We shouldn't have opposed you at the beginning. Moreover, we didn't intend to be violent to the old housekeeper. We just wanted to see you so much that we got excited... No matter what, it's all our fault.

." Another man also said with a sad face.

"Lord City Lord, we don't dare to ask for noble status, we can be slaves forever." The third one said even more harshly.

"Well……"

Emil was dumbfounded. He looked at the sun in the sky and saw that it did not appear to be coming out of the west.

However, he was still very puzzled. According to the character of these people, they would not be slaves even if they died. Moreover, these three people have reached this point. They still pay great attention to their own image and dress up immaculately, but now they can

How absurd it is to say this kind of conscience discovery.

Even though they had behaved so humbly and kept begging for mercy, Emir was still very angry, and he began to think about how to punish them next.

After a while, he came up with a good idea, that is, let them come to the city lord's mansion to work as servants, and then hand them over to Pagliese for control.

After settling this matter, the selection of nobles finally began. Because he failed to fulfill the agreement, the emir had to make corresponding compensation. He decided to increase the number of nobles to fifteen people, and those who were not selected as nobles could also receive emir.

Mir provided a large amount of money and the opportunity to continue learning cooking techniques from Reina.

So far, everything has been solved as perfectly as possible, and the people are very satisfied, but there is only one person who is disappointed with the Emir, and that is Byron, who has been watching not far away. He thinks this approach is too gentle.

It cannot deter the public at all.
