Chapter 499: Going Far Away (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Green Forest City.

In the mansion of Viscount Oufuding.

Lord Reck, who is of average build with a refined smile and a charming small beard, once had a counterfeit ring stolen by Lilliatte. He was pacing back and forth anxiously: "What is the kingdom thinking? Did they sell us all to the Countess?"

"Authority in personnel affairs, taxation, and military... all given to her, so why not give her legislative power directly as Speaker of the Upper House too?"

Local nobles are baffled by the sudden addition of a countess above them, especially after finding out about her outrageous privileges.

Lord Reck was not the first to complain to Viscount Oufuding either.

In Green Forest City, the Viscount was the real wielder of power.

Yes, although many middle-class and merchants saw Lord Reck as a great figure, in noble circles, a lord was just the beginning.
