《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 06 : Macha's Oath
Advertisement
What am I seeing right here? The sight of Gurguit kneeling in front of Macha like a child who did something bad.
"Please tell me, Sir Gurguit. Why did you jump off the window the moment you see me?" Macha is sitting on the chair in front of him while folding her arms.
"I am sorry, Lady Macha. It was a force of habit." Dude, you shouldn't reply like that.
"Hoh? A force of habit, I heard. Tell me, what did that dragon knight wannabe talk about me?"
"Lady Macha, isn't Sir Vortimer is a knight with a dragon soul in him? He is technically a dragon knight," he replied. I have an urge to facepalm.
"Whatever. I will let you off this time because we are currently in front of our lord. Don't think that I will simply drop this matter, boy. I will also have a talk with Sir Vortimer when I get back to Planet Cray."
"If this assures you, Lady Macha, I also have a plan to visit the earth that is connected with Planet Cray," I told her. It is true though. I would like to visit Vanguard world for a vacation.
"Then, that means…"
"Yes, you will be able to meet your Vanguard," I continue her sentence.
"Hahaha! Thank you, my lord. Now Giboy, stand up and show me the troop that you were training."
And… they are gone. Will my territory be okay with them?
I look at Luna. "How was the girl from yesterday?"
"She is doing fine, Master. She is too eager to work which surprise me," she replied after thinking for a while.
"She surprised even you, huh? She must be talented with her work."
"That is correct, Master."
The perfect maid herself praises the new girl, huh? I think I should thank Yubel for letting me have her. I got myself a talent. Wait, didn't I hire her because of her rumors about being a witch? How would she continue her witch training if she kept on working in the mansion without a break?
"Luna, give the girl two days break a week."
"Are you sure, Master?"
"Yes, I am. Let her have some break. She is the same age as me after all."
"I understand, Master."
After a while, the commander duo comes back. Macha has a smile on her face while Gurguit is still praying for his subordinates.

"How was the inspection, Lady Macha?" I asked.
"They are well trained, my lord. I must say I am impressed," she replied.
"Then, you must praise Sir Gurguit. He was the one who trained all of those soldiers."
"I've already done that. Didn't I, Giboy?"
"Yes, you did, Lady Macha."
"My lord, can you tell me about the countries from this world? I would like to know about them first to make plans," she requests. I just raise my brow and said nothing. Strange request but it is something I can do.
"Sure, let's go to my study room."
I just sit in my usual chair when we got into the room. Luna prepared the tea for us and Gurguit is standing behind me. Macha is standing in front of me. I open the world map on the table. The world map in this world is expensive. In fact, there aren't many maps in this country. Strangely, I found the map in this very study room. I don't know why did something expensive like the map is collecting dust in this room.
"Look here, lady Macha. This is the empire we are currently in. In the east, we can see the forest. The name of the forest is Crystal Dew forest. Going further from the forest, we can see the Demon country, Lilith. The territory we are staying in, aka, my territory is just beside the Crystal Dew forest," I pointed at the place where my territory on the map.
Then I hold up three fingers. "There are many countries for the human race but only three of them have actual powers. The first one is the empire we are currently staying in, the Starfall empire. The country is powerful because there are many talents inside the empire. It is also because we are the frontline against the demon race. The second is the country named Ethel, where the headquarter of the church of the Goddess of Light is situated. The third one is a country named Gredora, which was founded by the Mercenary King and is the country of mercenaries and adventurers. There is also the country of magicians named Megan. You don't have to worry about them," I told her.
"Then back to the neighboring countries of this empire. The north is connecting with Demon Country, Lilith. The west is connected with Beastkin country named Leonidas. And finally, on the south is the sea named Belinus. The one human neighboring country is a tiny one. It is just beside the Crystal Dew forest and is also the neighbor of my territory," I kept on explaining to her.

"Then let's talk about dungeons. There are 4 biggest dungeons in this world. Two of them are in Gredora. That is also the reason why that country remains strong. Then can train every day and test themselves inside the dungeon. The third one is in Leonidas then the final one is inside Lilith. There are many small dungeons around the world but those four are the most famous ones."
"I understand, my lord. Then, do you have a place where you especially want me to help you conquer?" Macha asked me. Fool! Do you seriously need to ask me about that?
"Of course, I want the whole world!" I replied with a serious face.
"Fufu… fuhahaha! This is great! I thank you, Grandmaster Blaster Dark Diablo for letting me come to this place and serve such a lord!" She immediately kneels in front of me and made an oath, "Without fear in front of your enemies, I will even do great and terrible things for you, my lord. This is my knight oath that I will keep when I serve you, Lord Urien Gregorios. I swear this on the deity Messiah that I will keep it without fail."
Wow, the topic got really heavy. "Ah… I accept your oath, Lady Macha. You may now stand."
"Thank you, my lord. Then allow me to go and prepare for things I needed to do. And some training for the troops I will be commanding."
"Sure, go ahead. But Lady Macha, no unnecessary sacrifices," I told her.
"You are requesting me something big, my lord. Don't worry. I will try my best," she replied.
Well, I think that just works.
"What just happened?" Gurguit.exe just rebooted behind me.
"Yeah, that just happened, Sir Gurguit."
"My lord, you just unleashed the terror upon the world," he deadpans.
"I know, Sir Gurguit. I know. And I intend to do it every now and then," I replied.
"You are crazy, my lord."
"It has already been 4 years and only now you know. I'm hurt, Sir Gurguit."
"I will go back to my living quarter now, my lord. Dealing with Lady Macha drains a lot of energies from me," he gave me a bow and then left the room. But I heard he was muttering, "The world is doomed," repeatedly.
Well, Macha can't be that bad. Right?
Canon Omake 01 : Do Not Mess with People from Old Era
It was when our MC is 7 years old. After killing off all the people who used all the funds for their own use, the people inside the territory became happy. But if there were happy people, there will be the opposite.
During a silent night, a shadow is moving through the garden of the Gregorios manor.
"Dear guest, the manor had already closed. If you want to see my lord, please make an appointment and come again next time," the shadow heard the voice in front of him. The shadow said nothing but rushed toward the old man in front of them and slash him with a sword.
"Where are the manners? Children these days, it would be better if they become more like my lord. Well even if you didn't introduce yourself, I was told by my lord to introduce myself to everyone that came inside the manor. My name is Keith. Just Keith. The head butler of this manor," Keith gave the shadow a curt bow after dodging the slash.
"Stay away old man," the shadow again rushed toward Keith.
"Now, you are just being rude."
*Snap*
Keith just snapped and the body of the shadow in front of him exploded.
"This is called . Well, I suppose you cannot hear me anymore," he said. Then, he looks around the place. "What to do? The place got messy. Well, I can just ask Luna to clean up the mess."
He then looks at the place where the shadow used to be. "And that is why you don't mess with people from Shade Gregorios' era. And because of the new lord, I can see the brighter future for the Gregorios. I will eliminate all those who try to delay the advancement of the Gregorios territory." Then left without looking back.

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?
