The Kingdom of Pallas, also known as the Pallasian Territory, was under the jurisdiction of the Olphean House. Nestled in the eastern part of the Human's realm, my mansion stood at the heart of this territory. Though I had been here for only two days, my previous visits were confined to leaving in a car without exploring my surroundings. Today, being my day off, I decided to seize the opportunity to venture around.
Mother had a significant eting to attend, and Christina was occupied with her own responsibilities, leaving to explore independently. Well, not entirely alone, as Francis accompanied , accompanied by two guards.
The roads, the houses, and even the people, everything seed to be thriving. Neat and pristine houses lined the streets, while farther away, towering structures housed various businesses, their screens displaying the latest updates.
"It's impressively well-managed..." I mused in awe.
Francis responded with a smile. "Our Queen Alea played a vital role in developing the country to its current state. After her, Lord Connor took on her responsibilities, but... after his passing, both Queen Alea and Lady Christina have continued the managent of Pallas."
"It must be quite demanding, especially since they also have responsibilities at the Academy," I murmured.
"Indeed, Milord. But both your mother and sister possess exceptional talents," Francis assured .
"M-Milord!"
"Lord Amael!"
"Good morning, Milord!"
"Have a wonderful day, Milord!"
As I strolled along, friendly greetings from the people around reached my ears. It seed that Mother had ensured my 'presence' was well-known here.
"People seem pleased to see ," I remarked, a bit puzzled.
"Absolutely, Milord. In the past, it was often Lord Connor who, along with Queen Alea and Lady Christina, occasionally visited. These visits were greatly cherished by our people. It made them feel more connected to you, a Great Noble, an almost revered figure in Sancta Vedelia. Moreover... after Lord Connor's passing, the last male heir of the family, the atmosphere here grew somber. Fortunately, your arrival and the subsequent revival of Lady Alea and Christina's spirits uplifted not only them but our people as well. They feel safer when their Lords are present, and the appearance of another male heir has significantly contributed to your favorability."
"Favorability huh…"
"Good morning, Milord!" A father accompanied by his shy daughter offered a warm smile as they passed by.
"I'll take that teddy bear," I inford a vendor who was running his own stand, selling an assortnt of toys. I handed him a 50 Eden coin without hesitation which was the equivalent of 50 dollars.
"Milord?!" The man seed taken aback, likely surprised that I was willing to pay such a sum for a teddy bear. Ignoring his reaction, I collected the toy and knelt down in front of the girl.
The girl peeked out from behind her father timidly.
"Here's my first gift for my people," I bead, handing her the teddy bear.
The father smiled warmly and quietly encouraged his daughter. "Take it, dear."
With a nod, the girl cautiously extended her hands and embraced the teddy bear. "T-Thank you, Milord."
"You're welco." I gently patted her head before resuming my walk. I couldn't help but notice the affectionate gazes and hushed whispers around . It was my first visit, so I wanted to make a positive impression on them.
"You're as kind-hearted as your older brother, Milord," Francis remarked beside .
"Of course, they're my people."
