'That butler didn't tell me about this,' Richard thought.
If the previous City Lord had been kidnapped from his own castle, it wasn't strange if his servants had also been killed — leaving none behind.
Those who survived were probably too afraid to ever serve again.
"Richard, it seems this city is too dangerous…" Sister Lisa commented.
If the risk meant death, she was clearly hesitant to stay in such a place.
"Sister Lisa, the whole world would laugh at me if I left right after arriving," Richard replied with a wry smile.
Of course, he couldn't leave. His position here wasn't just some royal assignment — he was the rightful owner of the entire city.
Even if he wanted to leave, the next City Lord would still have to be appointed by him.
"My Lord, there's no need to worry too much. We've already planted several spies among the barbarian tribes. If they plan to target the City Lord again, we'll definitely know in advance," Arthur said.
Richard nodded at that.
