Sovereign of the Firmaments

"If they are determined, they will arrive in Silverstone town within two days, young master."

After explaining everything, Old Bernard said about the arrival of the young men.

"Okay. From the 100 young men you invited, let's see how many of them really want to change their fate."

Lucas nodded his head and didn't think much about the young men invited by Bernard.

"As for your next task, I need your help in managing this town. Can you do that?"

Old Bernard followed the previous head of the Hellmore family and knew a lot of things related to managing a town because when Aldrich Hellmore established his own town, Bernard was the one who managed it mostly.

"Leave that to me, family head. I will try my best in managing it and develop it."

Bernard learned everything about Heaven's blessing and double rank upgrade for the Hellmore family. So, he knew what he had to do in managing a town and how to develop it as it was not his first time doing it.

"I know you can do it."

Lucas nodded his head as he informed, "Also, there are some new families that risked their lives to protect the Silverstone town. Let them know about the incident that happened in the meeting and if they still want to remain in the Silverstone town, let them stay and arrange a meeting with those families tonight."

He didn't forget about the new families who didn't abandon the Silverstone town even when the top families and the guilds were abandoned. So, he wanted to have a talk with those families even after they were willing to stay back in the Silverstone town.

"Okay, family head."

The old man Bernard nodded his head as he started working on it

...…

Bernard was fast with his work as he spread the news about the incident of the Hellmore family killing the elite soldiers to others.

Among the 10 new families that stayed back to protect the Silverstone town were shocked with the news and hurriedly rushed towards Raindrop manor.

After Bernard explained everything, among the 10 new families, only three families decided to stay back.

"Bernard, reward 10000 gold coins each to the new families that decided to leave for their contributions in the evil spirit beast invasion."

From the balcony of the manor, Lucas ordered Bernard in front of the ten heads of the new families.

"Thank you, family head Lucas."

Mostly, those who decided to leave the Silverstone town were in their late twenties and didn't want to stand against the royal family. So, they steeled their hearts while making that decision.

Nevertheless, they were thankful to Lucas for giving 10000 gold coins.

Earlier, these seven families risked their lives due to the fact that escaping from the evil spirit beasts was impossible; however, since they have the chance to leave now, they decided to leave.

What's more, even the previous owner of the Silverstone town, the adventurer's guild left quietly without saying anything.

Lucas knew that the managers got the orders from the main branch and they could only leave the town. If they go against the royal family, they would lose control over the other town as the royal family can easily give the leadership of the towns under their control to other guilds.

'Everyone who is leaving now will regret it in the future for sure.'

This was the only thought in Lucas' head as he called the heads of three families that decided to stay back in the Silverstone town into the meeting room.

.....

In a town a hundred kilometres away from the Silverstone tone.

The name of this town is Sunshine town and it was under the management of the royal family. Commander Gill and his entire battalion were stationed here for some reason before going to the Silverstone town.

After fleeing away from the Silverstone town, Commander Gill and his soldiers hurriedly rushed back to the town.

"What happened?"

The leader of the town Pawl deepwing asked Commander Gil when he saw the battalion that was covered in sweat.

"I need to contact the royal palace. Bring me to the communication room now."

Commander Gill didn't explain anything to Pawl deepwing; instead, he asked for the communication room.

Every town had a special communication room that will let the town leader communicate with someone in the royal palace.

Even though there were other towns, Commander Gill chose this town because this town is managed by the subsidiary family of the royal family and he was used to communicating only for the towns that were managed by the subsidiary families of the royal family.

"Hmm"

Pawl nodded his head as he opened a secure transmission line with the royal family after entering the communications room.

"How did it go, Gill."

Soon, a projection of the head of the royal guards appeared in the communication room, who asked Gill about his mission.

"The mission is failed. The family is tough to break and the most important thing is, he gained the 'Absolute control' over the Silverstone town."

Commander Gill took a deep breath and explained everything that happened in the Silverstone town.

"What? Absolute control? Are you sure about it?"

The middle-aged man in the projection was shocked as he asked about it once again.

"Yes, leader. With strength less than 'General rank', the family head was able to suppress me, a tier 1 higher knight. Also, he killed 10 of our elite soldiers without spilling a single drop of blood in less than a minute."

Commander Gill shivered when he thought about the suppression from Lucas as he explained everything to the leader of the royal guards.

"Stay on the line. His majesty is here."

The projection in front of commander Gill paused for less than a minute before started speaking again.

"Pawl, His Majesty ordered you to do what is necessary to do when a blessed family is tough to crack. You know how to do it, right?"

This time, the leader of the royal guards spoke to the Pawl deepwing and seeing that he nodded his head, the leader turned off the projection from his side.
