“Also, I appoint you as the Margrave of the South and acknowledge your right to govern the Southern Region
“I will do hness”
Although the others were a bit surprised, this had been previously discussed between Princess Leila and Milton But the others were just merely surprised After all, it was understandable Milton’s influence on the nobles in the Southern Region was absolute and giving hi it It wasn’t soe
However, the biggest surprise was Princess Leila’s next statement
“And because the Capital has been conate Marquis Forrest’s Estate as the temporary Capital and appoint Marquis Forrest as the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Arreatly shocked
“The residence of the Marquis as a temporary Capital?”
“And on top of that, the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army?”
It wasn’t unreasonable that nobles were so surprised Designating Forrest Estate as the temporary Capital meant that for a while, the center of the country would be Forrest Estate All executive orders would be issued from there and people and commodities would be concentrated there Even if it was teain econo for a fiefdom
And on top of that, Princess Leila had taken it a step further and made Milton the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army The Central Army coenerations was the head of the Royal Knights
What this allForrest Estate as the teest le while respecting Milton’s authority as the Margrave On a bigger scale, it was like giving the single individual, Milton Forrest, the country’s entire ive someone asn’t even thirty this kind of important position wasn’t coathered nobles were surprised, but Milton was just as surprised as they were
‘This princess is really wild’
It wasn’t enough to describe her as unconventional
Status, rasp exactly how hness”
Milton barely recovered from his shock to answer her
At that e that couldn’t be heard by anyone else
[The opportunity to become a monarch has come]
[You have leveled up]
[Characteristic ‘Clout’ has evolved and become ‘A Hero’s Halo’]
‘Sweet!’
His level had finally gone up after a long ti words and hurried back to his quarters as soon as possible As soon as he was alone, he immediately checked the status

‘This is dope’
It was such an influential power that South Korean politicians would even sell their souls if they could get it in their hands Disregarding the fact this was a kingdom and that Milton was a noble
‘The Monarch’s Dignity and the Hero’s Halo If I use these two characteristics together then…’
For a second, Milton saw the different possibilities in his future

“This is insane”
Milton felt his heart pounding He had predicted that when Princess Leila designated his estate as the temporary capital that it would become developed to some extentBut when he checked the status , it just said that the Golden Age had arrived
‘This is okay, right? Everything’s going well, right? It’s not like a native will suddenly appear and argue for an equivalent exchange of corn and gold, right?’
Having hit such a large jackpot, Milton couldn’t believe all this was real Looking at the status , it seeh the development of the mine and port had been coe of the territory, had fully met Milton’s expectations
“But why did the military power suddenly increase sothe war?”
Milton couldn't understand how the ht about it, he instantly understood the reason
“That’s right I’m the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army now”
From now on, the Central Army had to obey Milton’s orders He realized that he wasn’t just a heavyweight in the South, but he now had influence over the entire country Milton now had over 20,000 troops that he could move however he wanted When he had taken over the estate in the past, there were barely 100 soldiers in total
‘I’ve becoht about pathetic past self, he felt proud of all of his achieve proud of himself…
“My Lord, are you inside?”
Rick’s voice could be heard from outside his quarters
“What is it?”
“I have so to tell you, My Lord”
“Come in”
With Milton’s permission, Rick entered
No, to be more precise, Rick and Tommy, and unexpectedly, even Viscount Sabian
‘What an odd group’
“What’s wrong? Why did you come?”
At his question, Rick turned serious and knelt down Once Torabbed their swords on their wait and gave theive me, My Lord I would like to return ive me, My Lord”
“What?”
