As I ca out with bullshit after bullshit to explain the questions that Julia had, which we couldn’t answer truthfully, the hours passed by and we enjoyed breakfast with her. Julia had beco overly dramatic for a bit, but she cald down over ti. She was constantly saying she was indebted on us though, and that what we did went completely beyond her expectations. She was saying she was readying a good prize for all of us, which would be our pay.

She said our pay had been readjusted from what she wanted to pay us up to three tis, as she finally realized how much we were valued. She said that if she didn’t invested on us, she would easily lose us to another Duke that could offer more. I tried to convince her that I would never do sothing like that but she was constantly saying “money talks more than people’s emotions sotis”, so I guess she didn’t trusted my words that well.

She went on and on about how my power could rival the entire kingdom’s military, and that if it was spread that there was such a powerful necromancer working as a re rcenary, other nobles or even the royal family would attempt to take advantage of and might contract to destroy a whole neighbor nation. Of course, I constantly told her that I would never destroy a whole nation because that’s just batshit crazy, and even I find it insane, but she didn’t listen..

“Okay, okay! Julia, calm down! It is okay, just calm down! I am not going to leave you just because I am strong. Why would I be working for you to begin with?” I asked her. “I am well aware of my strength! I just genuinely want to help this place, don’t be so stubborn.”

“M-Marie…” Julia was moved by my words, as I desperately tried to calm her down so she would listen to what I had to say. She finally cald down now but began to feel so moved that tears started to co out of her bright eyes.

“Oh, co on girl, stop crying…” I sighed. I caressed her head and looked at her hair. “You’re a ss, aren’t you a duchess? Co on, go to take a bath now. Today we are going to clean that dungeon and also we got so things to discuss, especially the origin of Darkbound and also the reason behind the dungeon break.”

“Oohh… R-Right! I cannot just get like this when I am the duchess!” Julia stood up, shaking the table. “I’ll go take a bath and get so proper clothes, let’s t in my office. Hector, call Emiliano as well.”

“Imdiately, young lady. Maids! Go aid the young lady to bathe, make sure to get her hair as beautiful as you humanely can!” Said Hector, in the hierarchy of servants, he had the highest and give direct orders to maids.

“Very well!”

“Understood, leave it to us.”

“We shall not disappoint you.”

“This is a great challenge, miss is really a ss this morning…”

The Maids were going to have a hard ti in the bath, I wished them good luck.

Hector quickly decided to take care of us while Julia was getting done, as he nicely invited us to a walk in the entire building, he decided to use this ti to introduce us to so of the areas of the building. There was a massive library I really wanted to check out, a large kitchen with a dozen of chefs making food, the backyard which had many of the royal knights and soldiers training, and several other rooms filled with little decorations and paintings of past lords of the house.

We ended having so tea with cookies in the backyard while looking at the knights. There were mostly males, but there were also so talented females. It seems that mostly males beca soldiers and knights. I doubt it is because of so sort of gender discrimination, as won can also grow just as strong as n in this world. But the whole duchy had more males available. There was a big tradition of arranged marriages, and most won decided to marry through them and beco housewives, taking care of children. Only those that declined arranged marriages would beco independent adventurers or soldiers.

It kind of sucks when you put it in a certain perspective, but it seems that most of the girls liked it that way, as people really just doesn’t like to put themselves in danger to be honest. If I were a woman in their place I might had realistically considered it. I used Analyze to check on all the soldiers and knights practicing and doing mock battles. I found so with interesting talents and unique abilities, but there was nothing outstanding though. Although I easily realized that nobles often have more skills, level cap, and stats than commoner soldiers.

I really didn’t liked how bloodlines just let you have a better status, that’s pretty stupid, but I guess that’s how things are. It is said that nobles descend from the royalty families, which subsequently descend from a single family, the first King of Midgard, who was supossedly created by Odin, the God of Light, and therefore he carried divine bloodline and developed great power.

Descendants of the first King all inherit so of his divine power. Although over the years the bloodline beca thinner and weaker. This is how they later on mixed with heroes summoned from other worlds in ancient tis. Most of the royalty of now, including Julia, are descendants of the first king and also of otherworldly heroes.

This fusion of bloodlines reinforced the main bloodline and made nobles way stronger now, although it has been hundreds of years since the last ti the heroes were summoned, as the special device used for it was destroyed in the last war against the Demon King, and since then they had been unable to summon people from other worlds, which I find very nice, please never summon people from other worlds again…

“Sorry for being late…” Julia quickly joined us in the backyard, she looked radiant and beautiful, and her hair was fluffy and brilliant. Those maids did a wonderful job.
