“You can find grass even in the snowy winter.” Lucas said, stretching his arms as he looked at the soldiers that were capturing the wild boars. They will be the seeds for reformation.
“There are grasses in the winter? Green grasses?” Mina asked, puzzled. Even if there are grasses in the winter, they will just freeze to death. In winter there is sometimes snowfall which destroys every green grass. Besides, it’s still only autumn and most of the plants have withered and turned ...

His name is Luca...

Although the group of people had been tortured by Aiden for more than 20 days, it was the first time they ever heard such harsh words, so they all tensed up.
The sound of steel clashing rang constantly as the soldiers each put on their armor and went to their spots. The cavalries got on their horses and slowly rode forward, trying to allow the horses to adapt to the sudden increase in weight.
“Faster! Faster!” Jack urged as he rode his horse to the front of the Heavy Infantr...

There were eight people riding horses surrounding Lucas’s carriage for its protection. They were the War Wolves.
The War Wolves were fully armed. They each had a traverse blade on their waist and either a recurve bow or a military crossbow on their backs. They also had a few things in their backpacks.
The War Wolves’ faces were painted with camouflage paint. They looked at the surroundings vigilantly, prepared to shoot anyone that would dare to charge toward the carriage.

The reason Lucas made this carriage was because when he went out to inspect the wheat, riding the horse for a long time had caused some of his leg skin to peel off and numb his thigh. So Lucas made this luxury carriage so as not to have to suffer again from riding horses for a long time. He made a luxury carriage suitable for noble status. He also made an improved version of straddle which will comfort the rider during horse riding. He spent many gold coins and dollars in making this carriage...

Mina and Nicole snuck into the study room and lit a candle. They glanced at each other with a guilty face, and then looked inside the study room.
“Young Master’s book should be on the desk.” Nicole said softly.
“Go.” Mina said, walking silently as she employed the techniques she usually used when she went to “borrow” stuff.
The two got to the desk and saw a thick notebook that was as thick as three fingers. Nicole remembered that she had only seen four noteb...

“He was a stone monkey born from the nourishment of Heaven and Earth. His body was covered with golden fur, his eyes were shining brightly, and he could jump up more than a dozen meters. He used his natural talents and abilities to become the head of the Flowers and Fruit Mountain, the king of the mountain.” Lucas said slowly. The story of Journey to the West caught all of the kids’ attention and made their jaws drop and eyes shining with disbelief.
Helen, Mina, and Nicole weren...

Sedona City currently has two schools: an elementary school and a night school. The elementary school was for people under 15 years old, and the tuition fee was 3 copper coins per month. The night school was for people above 15 years old and the tuition fee was 2 copper coins per month.
Many of the citizens of Sedona City were willing to spend 2 copper coins per month to go to the night school, especially since Lucas made it so that literate people had a 20% higher salary compared to t...

“Woohoo!” Annie jumped up and down like a little kid as she held the box of lollipops in her arms. Her ears were twitching and her tail was swishing around.
“Mina, Look. These are lollipops. Lollipops that are like works of art. They’re so pretty.” Annie exclaimed as she held the box of lollipops and held it in front of Mina for her to see, as if she was a little kid trying to show her parents the new treasure that she just got. She was very excited about lollipops.

“Become a teacher?” Helen repeated Lucas' words in surprise. She had thought about many jobs that she could do, including making buns or selling buns in a bun store, but she had never thought about being a teacher and teaching human children.
“Yes, become a teacher,” Lucas nodded affirmatively and said gently, “There are very few people in Sedona City that can read and write and even fewer people that can be teachers. We need someone who can teach the children of Sedona City ...

“Alright, don’t give the Young Master a hard time.” Nicole said, saving Lucas from his situation. “These foods are still missing a few steps before they are ready. You can’t eat them yet right now.”
“Missing a few steps?” Annie pouted and raised her hand. “Nicole, what steps are missing? Why can’t they be eaten?” She instantly believed Nicole because of how delicious Nicole’s foods were, especially the egg-fried tomatoes. Her only problem was that Nicole wouldn...

It was time for lunch. Lucas had just sat down in the dining room when he heard laughter from outside.
“He he he… don’t run, take this princess’s… cough cough, take my Eighteen Subduing Rabbit Tickles!” Annie said to Helen while laughing.
Hearing their laughter, Lucas smiled lightly, and said, “Seems like they’re getting along pretty well.”
“No! You pervert… he he… you can’t catch me.”
A scream rang out, followed by a triumphant voice, a...

Ryan fumbled and caught the sheepskin scroll. He swallowed, opened the sheepskin scroll, and quickly read it. The more he read, the more his eyes widened. After he finished reading, he froze, and the sheepskin scroll fell from his hands onto the ground.
“No wonder… no wonder… so that’s why… Omar made a good plan.” Ryan said bitterly. He finally understood why Omar had stripped him of his title of a knight and made things hard for him. It was because Omar knew Ryan’s perso...

Ryan heard the coachman’s answer and frowned. Giving people rides in carriages for money and making steel coins are really good ideas. 'Whoever thought of these ideas must be a genius.'
Along the way, Ryan could see many citizens carrying wood and stones with smiles on their faces. It surprised him as most of the time, he could only see those smiles when they were harvesting their crops.
This made Ryan curious, dispelling the resentment that he had when he first arrived here. ...

Just when Lucas was thinking about how to increase city income, a small boat docked at the dock of Sedona City.
“Why does Baron Omar want this poor place?”
The envoy of Lockwood City, Ryan, frowned as he stood on his boat and looked at the broken dock. Some of the wooden platforms had even collapsed.
Ryan wasn’t very popular in Baron Omar’s territory. He was a quasi-noble, a former knight, and had been made a clerk by Baron Omar. It wasn’t because Baron Omar fav...

Lucas hadn’t expected that Helen would faint just by knowing that she was wearing his clothes. He thought that it was partially because Helen hadn’t fully recovered and partially because of the stimulation from the knowledge of wearing his clothes that caused her heart to beat too fast for her to handle, leading her to faint.
“It seems that I’m actually pretty handsome for a girl to faint from the excitement of wearing my clothes.”
Lucas’s narcissism made Annie cover...

“…” All the citizens who were standing before the stage stared at Lucas dumbfoundedly. They thought that they had heard him wrong about the salt prices. After all, a kilogram of salt cost 60 copper coins in Sedona City and 64 copper coins in other cities which were far away from the sea.
A few merchants had brought the news that the city which was on the bank of the sea had been attacked by pirates. Pirates had caused the destruction of many salt-making tools, so they will no lon...

“Come on! Let’s go to the Shopping Mall. There are other beastkins there.” Annie said as she chewed on her bun happily.
Helen nodded lightly. She looked at the buns in the paper bag, swallowed, and then took out the biggest bun in the bag and bit into it.
“Mmmm~ ahhhh~”
The softness of the bun and the rich aroma of the bread combined with the slight sweetness made the most delicious food that Helen had ever eaten. 'This tastes even better than the meat that we h...

The joking around soon removed the ice and awkwardness between Helen and Annie, and they quickly warmed up to each other. Helen was constantly listening to the people around them. Most of them were curious about who she was. She heard many people saying the same line. "That beautiful beastkin must be the city lord's new assistant."
'This city is amazing, too amazing.' Helen got a bit curious about Lucas, who she had never met. 'Could there really be a noble that doesn't hate beastkins ...

“This place is the last haven for beastkins?” Helen had been thinking about Annie’s words the whole time while she was walking with her. Those words seem like a joke to her. 'This little fox beastkin must have been tricked by the human noble. He must be pretending around her to coax her.'
Annie had also been observing Helen’s reaction. She knew that Helen didn’t believe her, just like how she didn’t believe Mina in the beginning when Mina told her about the young master.

The sun had just risen for a short while, but there were already sounds coming from the military camp.
“Start! Turn left! Jog!”
“One two, one two, one two.”
“One, two. One, two.”
The uniform sound of the footsteps paired with the voice gave the people a sense of intimidation.
The sounds also woke Helen up from her sleep. She yawned, stretched, and rubbed her eyes. In the next second, she froze remembering everything. She quickly scanned the room ...

Midnight…
It was extremely quiet in the castle as there was almost no one walking around, except for the people that were doing their required patrolling.
In the room Helen struggled to open her eyes in the darkness. Her head felt light and dizzy. As she saw the darkness around her, her heart sank and her senses dulled.
'Of course. I’m in that noble’s hidden, dark room, am I not? Either that, or I am in his dungeon.' Helen thought. Helen felt that her whole body was...
