Chapter 834: Matters of the Territory (7)

Ansom Krayt was silent, or rather, he was at a loss for words, because Werdeness was completely right.

As he said, as long as I maintained my current status, the number of people who would line up to win my favor would only increase by the day.

And everyone knew that, other than buttering a person up, or giving them gifts, the next best method was to take care of someones nemesis for him. Even if the person in question had already forgotten about this so-called nemesis.

In fact people would probably praise me for being magnanimous if I forgot about old grudges, despite my obvious position of superiority. The opposite would be true if I chose to pursue such old grudges; I would be seen as petty.

Long story short, if I maintained my current status, I wouldnt even need to pursue my own grudges, someone would take care of it for me, or my enemies would come groveling for forgiveness on their own. Paradoxically, pursuing these grudges myself would produce the opposite effect.

Obviously, Werdeness was hinting that he could be the one to handle such mundane matters which were beneath me.

In that case, Ill leave the noble houses to you. As for those three to be executed I will leave that up to you as well.

This was to be a test for him. That was what I had decided after listening to his plans.

Naturally, the man was beside him when he realized I had given him complete autonomy in this matter. He immediately beamed, bowing both as a sign of respect and of gratitude. You have my utmost gratitude, my lord. Your humble servant wont let you down.

I think so too. I nodded. You arent like the rest -you are smarter than them.

My utmost gratitude, my lord.

Moving on I think you will find this next matter rather familiar to you.

My lord?

Interesting very interesting.

I had to admit, I had a certain fondness for subordinates who were willing to sacrifice their reputation for me.

It is your humble servants honor. Otto smiled widely, every bit a loyal henchman.

Ansom, on the other hand, was at a loss for words again.

Hey. Enough gawking. I have a job for you too. I waved at Ansom and continued, Find a bright fellow amongst the magitek knight pilots to help Otto. I want this matter handled well.

Yes, Commander.

Dont ruin this opportunity, I turned to Otto and smiled.

Rest assured, my lord, your humble servant swears on his life to handle this well.

I dont need your life, I just need it done. Ansom, show Otto out, and find him an assistant.

Yes, Commander.

Yes, my lord.

Not long after I was done with those two, the meisters came knocking on my door once more.
