Chapter 1060 New Nobles in the Region and Time for Revelation
After Minos' words, Lee and Alison thanked him with all the sincerity they had while being congratulated by the people in the surrounding area.
Even Ruth had watched them interestedly since there were not many Spiritual Kings that young even in the Flaming Empire.
Not only that, as she had seen those two in many situations over the years, she could not help but feel how impressive Minos' methods were.
'Those two have good talents, but at the end of the day, they definitely only achieved this feat because of Minos...' She watched in her man's direction, feeling a warmth in her body as she imagined she might finally know the truth behind him.
'I wonder what he is hiding? How did he make so many ordinary people so much better? Will he tell me these things later?' She bit her lips in anticipation.
After a few moments of conversation among the people in the surrounding area, Lee and Alison left the center of affairs, their faces still red with excitement.
Minos then looked at Peter, level 52, and said. "Peter, from today on, you will lead the army for the area outside the Dry City dome."
"Your job will be to observe the actions of the local police, as well as look after the army's actions in this area under construction of Dry City."
He then looked at Mia and said. "I will give you four years here in Dry City. In that time, I want you to train your replacement and prepare to take on a bigger challenge."
"After that time, depending on your performance, I will appoint you as Duchess and give you a city to rule in my name." He looked back at Peter and said. "You will also have a status like Mia's, but you will be in charge of army affairs while she will take care of the administrative ones."
"I hope you two don't fail." He smiled, looking at those two faithful subordinates of his.
It would not take long for Mia to reach the 6th stage, and her administration skills had already reached a very high level. As such, it would be a waste not to spread the good fruits of this place around the Black Plain territory.
The capital was definitely the most important place in a kingdom. Still, since it did not work to create a state the size of the Black Plain with only one city, Minos needed to have people of trust around his territory. To do this, he was going to use allied families, such as the houses Cohen, Stokes, Hayes, and Miller, as well as subordinates, Parkinson, Gill, and Austin.
But in addition to these powers, he wanted his army also to have some Dukes and Duchesses to counterbalance the division of power in the kingdom.
That's why he was making these assignments today!
But he would not do this for everyone. For example, Dillian definitely deserved something like that. But this fellow would be much more critical in Dry City since the king, in fact, did not intend to stay there all his time.
With this, there was no way Minos could give Dillian the same chance as those four.
However, not only Dillian but several other members of the Black Plain Army had already earned noble titles from this state. So now, many of them already had family surnames, some rights, and opportunities.
After Minos' statements, Peter and Mia readily accepted this, and they enthusiastically thanked their king.
So, soon most of those people left the royal throne hall, remaining there only Minos, his two women, and the soldiers of the royal guard.
"Eduard, ask him to come in," Minos commented to that fellow as he turned to Ruth. He then smiled and asked. "I guess I won't have to see you leaving for the Flaming Empire anymore, right?"
She walked over to Minos' throne and said. "Hmmm, from now on, I will accompany you whenever I can. No more restrictions, darling."
After that, she quickly sat on Minos' lap and kissed him, satisfied that she finally had the freedom to be entire with him.
"Mmmmm~"
They kissed for a few seconds until their lips parted, and one looked into the other's eyes with various hidden meanings. He then massaged her left cheek and said. "Well, we will soon be married, so I have a few things to discuss with you later, Ruth."
She clasped her hands in anticipation and heard Abby's voice, "I think that will also be a chance for you to get to know the location of our honeymoon..."
"What? What are you talking about?"
Abby chuckled and said. "You'll find out later."
After that, one of the royal guard's soldiers announced someone's arrival. "Sir Grant of the Western Empire is here at Your Grace's call!"
Hearing the voice of one of those royal guards, Minos looked in the direction of the entrance door there, where Eduard was escorting a man in a wheelchair.
Ruth then tried to leave Minos' lap. Still, the man's hands prevented her from doing so, merely having put her in a more comfortable position.
She blushed in embarrassment at having to receive that senior while in that position. Still, Minos ignored her, soon beginning to talk to that person. "So you came, huh?"
When Eduard finally left Grant's wheelchair just ahead of the steps of the stairs in front of the royal throne, that fellow laughed and said. "Well, I was bored in that place and decided to give the rising Black Plain a chance."
"I think my chances are better here."
"Oh? Well, that is indeed true..."
"Tell me how things have been. Are there any problems? Is your stay here being satisfactory?"
After that, they talked about the weeks since Grant's arrival in Dry City, with that man praising highly the local growth and strength that Minos had built.
On the other hand, he had no complaints about the treatment he had received so far. On the contrary, he praised this city team greatly and thanked Minos for the chance to be in this place.
During this time in Dry City, Grant had lived much better than he had in the past decades in that city of the Kingdom of the End. He had not only experienced the quality of local services but also enjoyed the advantages of having a purpose.
He had been given the temporary position of Royal Instructor, having begun his activities with high-level or more talented soldiers of the Black Plain Army.
With this, he was already helping to improve the power of the local forces while using his time in a productive activity that, at the moment, only he could do.
Thus, Minos soon found out about that man's situation and the potential his soldiers would have by being instructed by that former expert.
"Well, it's good that you are doing well, old Grant. As for those matters, we'll eventually talk more about that when it's more convenient." Minos said after their long conversation came to an end.
"I'll look forward to that..."
"Hmm, see you later."
So, after Eduard took that fellow back from where he brought him, Minos finally departed that place alongside his two women, heading for the residential part of his mansion.
In doing so, he saw Brooke on his way, having exchanged some comments with her and congratulated her on reaching level 51. Furthermore, the two of them arranged to meet when he finished sorting out the issues that had accumulated since his last departure...
Finally, after reviewing Eda and Abby's parents, the trio arrived at their residence, where they promptly sat around a living room to talk.
"Ruth, previously, I didn't tell you several things about me because you were part of a sect in the Flaming Empire. You were a disciple of that woman and could not be able to keep certain information. But now that you are mine alone, I am ready to open up to you." He seriously said as he looked into the eyes of the black-haired woman in front of him.
Gulp!
Abby ran one of her hands over her man's back and said to Ruth. "I hope you won't be upset with Minos. What he's going to show you in a few moments truly is worthy of his concern that he didn't fully trust you."
Ruth swallowed her saliva in anticipation and said. "That's fine. I'm not upset. I understand his motivations and blame no one but my own past."
"Good!"
"Now," He showed one of his hands to her and smiled. "Shall we go there?"
