Ryan heard the coachman's answer and frowned while thinking about it. '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 on the faces of commoners when they were harvesting their crops.

This made Ryan curious, dispelling the resentment that he had when he first arrived here. 'Well, I'm not very welcome in Lockwood City anyways, and it's not that bad to take a stroll once in a while, I guess.'

He touched the letter that he had been carrying, which Baron Omar had told him to give to Baron Carter. 'Isn't Carter the noble that lived in Lockwood City for about half a month and then returned to Sedona City recently? Didn't he sell his territory and noble title? Why did he come back to Sedona City? Did he get his noble title and territory back from the one who bought his title?'

Due to the War Wolves' handling ability and how hard it was for information to travel in this world, news of Carter and Fez's deaths never got out. As such, Baron Omar thought that Carter and Fez had returned to Sedona City and had gotten back their noble titles and territory because of their knights.

Ryan entered Sedona City in a carriage, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he jumped off the carriage and stared at the scene in front of him with his mouth open. "Am I in the capital?" Ryan muttered to himself.

The road was more than 10 meters wide, and on both sides of the road were neatly built houses.

Ryan had only seen these houses in the capital before, but it took them more than 10 years to build such houses. No matter how he looked at them, the houses in Sedona City did not seem to have taken more than 10 years to build.

"Do you want to get off here?" The coachman asked him when he saw that the passenger got off in the middle. He remembered that Lucas had told him that people were not allowed to jump off the carriage while it was still moving.

"Yes, we'll get off right here." Ryan said, nodding his head.

Ryan and his servant stared at the carriage as it left. They just stood there, confused about what to do next.

"My lord, are we going to see that city lord right now?" The servant asked him with confusion.

"Yes. We'll do our mission first and then take a stroll around Sedona City." Ryan said, nodding his head. 'I guess Sedona City isn't a poor place after all. I'll go shopping later to buy a gift for Liza as an apology.'

That was what he had learned when he read the book, "The Love Diary of a Noble Girl", written by Princess Lucy. When girls got angry, the best thing boys could do was to buy a gift for them. As long as they got an expensive gift, then there was a 90% chance that the girl would forgive the boy. It was also because of the novel that he had been able to get Liza to go out with him, as he just followed what the novel said when he chased Liza.

'I should thank Princess Lucy if I get to meet her. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to get to agree to go out with me.'

"He he…" Ryan laughed when he thought about the day he proposed his love of Liza. That day, he sang a song in front of Liza's house for half the day. Liza and her family were moved to tears and they wouldn't let him continue to sing anymore no matter what. They said that they were afraid that singing anymore would hurt his throat. Such a kind and considerate family.

Ryan and his servant soon saw the castle. After reporting to the guards, they were soon allowed to meet Lucas.

When Ryan met Lucas and saw his noble clothes, he put away his somewhat lax and careless attitude and got serious.

"Greetings, City Lord. I am Ryan from Lockwood City. I am here to visit you on Baron Omar's order." Ryan said respectfully with a noble-like attitude. Lucas's clothes gave him the air of a noble and made it feel as if he had come from a big noble family.

"Mr. Ryan, please sit." Lucas said with a light smile and waved his hand. This was the second envoy that had been sent to his city. The previous envoy from Sakura City had given him a lot of cattle, sheep, horses, and wheat. 'Also, this Baron Omar seems to be the guy behind the grain merchants that were hanged. What is he scheming by sending an envoy?'

Ryan saluted respectfully before sitting down. He took out the sheepskin scroll he had been holding in his arm and handed it to Ben next to him respectfully. "This is the letter that Baron Omar wanted to give you."

He didn't dare to be careless as even Ben had better clothes than him. 'Who is this guy? Is he the son of a duke and just came here to experience life or experience how to manage a city?'

Ben carefully opened the sheepskin scroll, checked it, and then handed it to Lucas. He didn't read the letter; he was just checking to see if there was stuff like poison in the scroll.

Ryan's heart sank when he saw what Ben was doing. 'Only high nobles have these safety checks. But then why? If Carter has the backing of a high noble, there is no need for him to sell his territory and title. Did someone give the wrong news?'

The error in information caused Ryan, who had just come to Sedona City, to think that Lucas was Carter. Ryan hadn't suspected anything when Baron Omar had told him that the name of the noble of Sedona City was Carter.

This thing did happen in this world from time to time. After all, the people here relied on messengers that rode on horses to transmit news. Besides, Sedona City was a remote place, so news doesn't really travel out of Sedona City very much.

"Ha… interesting, very interesting." Lucas smiled more and more coldly the more he read. After a while, he became silent and stared at Ryan with a strange expression.

"City Lord, do you have any orders for me?" Ryan asked. He felt that something was wrong, and a sense of crisis hit him.

"How pitiful. Are you the pawn that was sent here to his death?" Lucas asked coldly. He had gotten a big surprise when he read what was on the letter.

"I- I don't know what you mean by that, City Lord." Ryan's heart sank, and his forehead was full of sweat. Seeing a knife appear in the beautiful catgirl's hand, he took a step back out of fear.

"Take a look for yourself." Lucas said as he threw the sheepskin scroll toward Ryan.
