Chapter 4

Present time A Feudal lord has been born.

My family was now sending their farewells to me and goodbyes as I walk to the carriage heading to my destined Village that I'll be governing.

" My Son! Goodluck I know you can do it! You're a man of your words, I am sure you will make a great Village Leader!" my father had said while waving to me.

I wave back at him back and say goodbye before getting into the carriage that is being pulled by two fine horses. We start our ride down the long street leading from my family's house to my new life as an independent Village Leader.

The sun was starting to set behind the mountains as we started on our journey towards my future Village. This was one of the last times I would not see my parents for a very long time.

As we were nearing the village, I could already see the people waving at us as we passed them. The villagers were all smiling and waving at me. They knew that I was going to rule over this Village and they were happy for me.

'Wow, I thought the villagers would be finding me as an annoying person... Atleast It went good than what i have expected.

When we finally reach the gate which leads into the village, the driver quickly parks the horse in front of it and gets down from his seat. He opens the door with a bow and waits for me to get out of the carriage before helping me to carry my luggage to the head office.

The head offices is where all the important decisions were made in the Village. I walked inside to see a large table, bookshelves, 4x4 window, and some decorations and short paintings.

'So, this is my office room...'

After setting my bags in my desk chair, I walk up to the table and pull up a seat. As soon as I sit there, the door opens revealing a Middle age male with grey hair in his mid 40s wearing a suit and tie. "Hello Your Highness! I'm your Personal Assistant, Mr. Miller. Please give me a moment." he walks over to the shelves and pulls out some papers. "This is the application forms for your position as Village Leader. If any problems arise during the process please come talk to me for we'll be handling together the village issues."

He hands me the paperwork.

I take the papers and look at them. There are a few documents about me getting a title. Like the fact that when I become the Village Leader, I have to wear a crown and sign treaties.

"I'm looking forward to working with you Mr Miller." I said letting out my Hand.

" Me too, Your Highness..." Mr Miller said giving a bow and giving a handshake.

Then suddenly another man came in through the door and gave me another bow "Your Highness, you have 10 minutes left until the Ceremony for the New Feudal Lord will start. Please follow me, Your Highness. I'm sure the ceremony won't be long." the man says before leaving the room, I looked back at Mr Miller confused but I followed behind anyway.

As we were walking, My Assistant was just explaining on he would help in my duties, how to handling our resources, etc. and now we are in the Middle of the village, which was covered in flowers as everyone watched me from all sides.

Then suddenly the entire audience burst into applause .

"Your Highness, it's nice to formally meet you." A man with black hair dressed in a suit comes to stand beside me.

" Thank you for your kind greetings." I said bowing slightly, which seems to make him a little nervous.

"Your Highness, the Ceremony is about to begin."

I went up the stage, to give a small speech about me being the New Leader of the village.

I explained how I will be handling things here and what responsibilities will I be taking. Then I was handed a big golden crown and a red ribbon. And finally, I received the title of Feudal Lord. The whole crowd cheered again and this time I actually smiled.

'This was actually easy than i thought.'

Mr. Miller stood next to me and said " I must say I'm glad that you like your current position Your Highness. I've heard many rumors about you. I hope that you will continue to work hard and not forget about our Village."

And then the celebration began, everybody congratulated me. After some speeches I go back to the office where I spend the rest of my afternoon preparing the various tasks for the development of the village tomorrow.

Later that day when it's nighttime, I head to bed thinking about the events today. 'This is definitely different... But it is really enjoyable..'

I drifted into sleep.
