Chapter 265 Chrome City (Part I)



Chapter 265  Chrome City (Part I)

"My lord, shall I introduce you to everyone?" The head butler asked in his most professional tone.

"I don't have all the time. Introduce those that might have an impact on my life." As arrogant as I sound, remembering everyone's name was impossible.

"Yes, my lord. This is the head chef, Reo. He will be serving you your meals. If you have any suggestions for what type of food you like, you may talk to him."

"This is your personal assistance. Her name is Kelsy, and she is the most qualified to serve you personally." When the head introduced Kelsy, I observed her.

When the butler said that she was the most qualified, he meant it from a physical standpoint. Kelsy had long black hair and red eyes. While she was attractive, something about her irked me.

I wouldn't be surprised if she were a vampire. Iris is the goddess of blood and has a lot of vampire followers. Due to the incident, my dislike of vampires was at an all-time high. This maid had no involvement, but I can't help but remember why I was here.

"My lord. Is something the matter?" The head noticed that I had glared at Kelsy, which scared the life out of her.

"Recently, I had a problem with a group of vampires. Looking at her made me remember."

"We can get someone new to replace her."

"Don't worry about it. Since you picked her, she is more than qualified."

"I will be going to my room. After that, I will explore the city. Dismiss." After learning about two of my underlings, I went to my room.

Kelsy followed me for obvious reasons and went to my room. It was already customized to the previous owner's taste.

The previous owner had an old-fashioned taste. There were statues and pictures of beautiful people in the frame.

The things that I was dissatisfied with were thrown away immediately. With the items the girls handpicked back at home, I replaced everything.

With this being my room, changes have been made. All the pictures and statues were stored elsewhere, replaced by what I felt was right.

Previously, the color of the walls was gray. I found that a depressing color and changed it to a lighter one. As for the furniture, I put everything down that I found helpful.

"Maid, I'm going to visit the city. Do you know the way around? If not, I will leave myself." Before the maid panicked about me leaving, I told her I would leave and explore.

"Ah, I know the city. I will guide you." The vampire maid was still nervous around me. She knew that I disliked her because of her race. There was nothing she could do to change that now.

With that said, we explored the city of Chrome. The City of Chrome is a Victorian-styled place. Not only were the buildings like that, but so were the people dressed in that fashion.

Walking around town, I get frequent stares for my style of dress alone. My ranking could also be accounted for since everyone I saw wasn't close to mine.

"Is that the new lord? He's younger than I thought. not to mention talented."

"You shouldn't judge someone by their physical appearance. They might be an old man for all we know."

"Dude, you shouldn't say that if he's the actual lord. You might be beheaded."

Walking around, rumors around me started to form. Like back on Earth, those who were ranked higher will be noticed. Positive and negative comments would form if someone could think that far for themselves.

"Excuse me. I have a question, are you the new lord?" A lady wearing a noble outfit came up and asked.

"Yes, I am. The goddess has tasked me to oversee this city."

Sooner or later, the city will know who I am. Delaying it was pointless, so I answered her without hiding anything. Besides, using the goddess' name would make things less troublesome.

"I knew it!" I had answered loudly for anyone to hear. So my fame would increase with it.

"Pardon me for not introducing myself. I'm Eliz Belmug, a noble of this city."

Noble? While Eliz was wearing a dress for a noble, I didn't think she would be a noble from this city.

While I didn't know the full details of this realm, I wouldn't be surprised if a city like this was razed to the ground.

"I'm Charles Anderson, the new lord of Chrome City." I greeted her back with the same courtesy.

"Is your Lordship doing something meaningful? I can show you around if you're not too busy." My maid became uncomfortable, seeing that her role would be taken.

Eliz is a beauty with platinum blond hair styled in a frilly way. Her curly hair, coupled with her golden-colored eyes, gave her a cutesy charm. Even so, she was quick to make a connection with me. As expected from a noble.

"If you insist, lead the way." While I had Kelsy, Eliz would probably know all the high-end products of the city due to her status. With her being my assistant, I could always ask her around.

Permitting Eliz to take me around, the rumors among the crowd spread even more. Rumors were a pastime I enjoyed listening to. There was always something to learn from them, whether they were true or not.

"Ms. Belmug, I was wondering something. Do you not have guards? While I don't doubt the city's management, the recent lord of this city was assassinated."

"I may not be strong enough. I'm confident in my ability to be safe from harm. My family has acknowledged that and allowed me to do what I want."

Eliz and I had many small talks along the way. She showed me some places to go where the quality of the items was the best.

Walking around with the other two, I liked this city's atmosphere. It's a shame that so many things ruin this place for me. I would have to remove them immediately.
