《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 04 : On My Way to the Capital
Advertisement
It is already morning, and we are preparing for my visit to the Capital city. Luna and Uncle Li will accompany me there. Uncle Li is what I am calling Li Shuwen because that is what the old assassin asked me to call him. Well, he asked me to just call him Li but that would be disrespectful of me.
After fanboying over Uncle Li yesterday, I had introduced myself to him and not surprisingly, he is a cool uncle. I cannot believe he is an Asian. No, I am not being racist. I mean, yeah, that came out racist, but it was not my intention.
Anyway, Uncle Li agreed to teach me Bajiquan after coming back from the trip to the capital. I am sure I will regret it, but I also need to learn hand-to-hand combat instead of sword arts. Why should I learn hand-to-hand combat if I am not going to let go of my ? *Suddenly think about the rejoicing priest* Because learning it will make me look cool!
"Take care of yourself, Urien. Be sure to eat well and sleep well. Don't worry about things over here, I will take care of it," Aria starts to frown on me when I was just about to get on the carriage. She even hugs me by pushing my head into her huge breasts. Dammit, Aria! Can't you see the servants are smirking and laughing that their tormentor is being tormented right now?
"I get it, I get it. Stop hugging me, woman! Just make sure to not kill anyone during the meetings. Even I have sudden urges to kill them sometimes. But they are still the ones living in the territory. I will try to find dirt on them after I get back," I push myself away from her and get onto the carriage.
"If you behave well, I will bring souvenirs back from the capital," I smile when her face beams with a smile after hearing that.
"Un!" she nods happily. What had happened to the proud Lion King?! She is acting like some kind of woman starving for affection. A little act of kindness from me can make her happy. If I am not seeing this scene myself, I won't be able to believe that she is the same woman from the Camelot movie.
"Let's move out," after Luna and Uncle Li got inside, I notified the coachman to start moving. Inside the carriage, Luna is sitting beside me while Uncle Li is sitting beside the coachman saying he wants to get fresh air instead of staying in the room. Well, the room is for four people. I do not know why he doesn't want to stay in here though.
"Master, your tea," Luna handed me the tea. Sipping the tea on a shaking carriage is one of the few joys that nobody will realize.
"Thank you, Luna. How long until we get to the teleportation gate?"
"One week, Master."
"Hmm, what shall I do with the rare relaxation time I get?" I lost in my own thought.
Well, I can just binge-watch anime series. Which series should I watch? I have not watched Saikano in my previous life so, I should watch that. And I will rewatch Ai Yori Aoshi (Bluer Than Indigo) to soothe my heart with the best wife material, Aoi.

Luna placed a tray of sweets near me. Wait… how can a tray fit inside this room? Only now do I understand the reason why Uncle Li stays outside.
"Master, here are the desserts I told Miss Deirdre to make some for you," Luna placed the tray full of profiteroles, brownies, éclairs, and chocolate lava cakes near me.
"Oh, éclairs! I've always wanting to eat this since I had seen it on TV!" I mused. This reminds me of a certain Lion-themed Kamen Rider.
"But Luna, I was thinking about eating potato chips and drinks cola while watching the show," I tried to tell her.
"I am not letting you eat those unhealthy foods, Master."
"But, I have to heal me from anything!"
"No can do, Master. I am not letting you eat those," she time-stopped and grabbed the pack in my hand.
"Hey!"
"Please enjoy the desserts, Master," she smiles. For some reason, that smile looks scary.
"S-sure," I grumbly pick up the éclair and shoved half of it into my mouth. I did not know when my eyes went wide but this is surprisingly good!
"This is good!" I exclaimed. "Uncle Li! Do you want some desserts? These are good!" I pop out my head from the window and asked the old assassin.
"No, thank you, Master. I am not hungry yet," he replied back.
I put my head back into the room and continue to watch Saikano.
After watching 13 episodes of Saikano,
"What the fuck?" I look outside aimlessly. "What an actual fuck?"
"What the fuck happened?" thoughts are circling inside my head, and I cannot get rid of the feeling I am feeling right now.
"Master, why are you look so depressed?" Luna asked me from the side.
"I don't know, Luna. Maybe I have watched something I shouldn't have," I replied like an autonomous robot.
"Don't disturb me these days, Luna," I told her, and I went back into my own little shell. Too much for being an Evil Lord. I cannot even handle this simple thing. But… the hit was real. And the System did not notify me about it before letting me watch it. After watching this anime, I got enlightenment. I am not letting any human experimentation go free in my territory and I will destroy it on sight.
But first, leave me alone. I am going to watch Grand Blue to uplift my spirit.
After watching 12 episodes of Grand Blue,
"Luna! Bring out the beers!"
"Like the last hundreds of times, Master. We do not have beers at this age! And you are still too young to drink alcohol!" she replied tiredly.
It went on just like that for a week until we reached the teleportation gate.
"Where is your destination?" one of the workers at the gate asked the coachman.
"To the capital," the man dutifully replied.
"It will be five gold coins," the guard demanded.
The coachman tried to retort for this daylight robbery, but I stopped him. "Here are the five gold coins," I handed out the coin from the window.

"Hehe, the kid knows how to please the adults, eh?"
I replied nothing. Why should I stoop so low to fight back with a mere guard? I ignore him like a person of a higher standard should do. Only if the young masters from the Chinese novels know how to do something like this. I am sure their father, grandfather, and ancestors won't need to come and save his ass.
But the thing is… you can call my ignorance. I did not notice some lights flashes through Luna's eyes. It is already our turn to teleport and our carriage is on the rune circle. The light shone and the sound of screaming accompany it. But it must be my imagination. We arrived at the town near the capital.
"Luna, how long does it take to reach the capital?"
"About a day, Master."
"Great! I will watch the scenery instead of watching anime today," I jumped out from the room and sit on the roof of the carriage. Of course, I still have my teacup in my hand.
"Don't mind me. I am just appreciating the scenery," I told the coachman.
Just like that, we have arrived at the capital without mishap. What? Did you think something is going to happen on the way? Please! This is near the capital city. No one is stupid enough to rob on the route to the biggest city in the Empire. Well, I noticed some red stains on Luna's apron but after blinking my eyes, those stains are gone. Well, guess my eyes are playing a trick on me.
The carriage arrived at the headquarter of the Gregory Company. Uncle Li told me that he will be waiting for us outside with the coachman, the new friend he made on the way. So, only Luna and I step into the building.
I walk toward the receptionist who seems to be free.
"Excuse me, I came here because of an appointment," I told the man politely. Nobody needs to know that Delfina and I are families. And this company is something that she achieved with her own hard work. So, instead of waltzing in like I own this place, I politely asked her underling.
"What is a kid doing here? Shoo… shoo. This is not the place where you can walk in and demand an appointment," the man shooed me away. Okay, breath in… breath out. You can do this, Urien. Do not make it difficult for your sister.
"Can't you just check it in the list?" I asked without showing how annoyed I am.
"HAHAHA! A kid like you has an appointment with one of the four biggest companies in the Empire? Stop dreaming, kid!" he shouted at me in front of many people. I am sure my cheeks are starting to get warm. Alright, I will just kill this dude like I should have done a long time ago.
"What is happening here?" we heard a voice and the one who came out was a lady with golden clothes. Or rather, a lady knight with golden armor plates.
"Oh, lady Marcia! While I was waiting for an important guest whom Lady Delphine told me to greet, this rude kid is making a scene. Don't worry, I will kick him out now," the man replied to her, trying his best to curry favor to the lady knight. There are some lusts in his eyes looking at her.
"You don't need to. What you need to do now is pack your belonging and never come back to this building. You are now unrelated to Gregory Company in any way," the woman's tone is as cold as ice.
"Wha… why?!" the man screamed.
She does not reply to him and walks toward me. "I am sorry for this my lord. Please punish me for not coming here sooner," she slowly kneeled no… did a dogeza in front of me without caring that she is in the sight of many people coming in and out of this building.
"No… no… it's okay, Marcia. It is not your fault," I make her stand up.
"Let me lead you toward Lady Delphine," she led the way in front of me. But why am I sensing that Macha and Luna are talking with their eyes? Well, it must be my imagination.
"Master, I will be waiting at the outside," Luna told me from behind. Hmm? Well, there is nothing I can do if she does not want to come in together with me. She must be affected by the scene before, huh?
"Sure, go ahead."
I followed behind Marcia and arrived in front of the decorated door.
"Come in," I heard Delfina's voice from the other side.
"Urien! So, you finally arrived, my dear brother!" Delfina greeted me. On this way here, I told Marcia not to tell Delfina about what happened in the lobby. She looks busy and I do not want to add more weight to her.
"Yes, I just arrived," I replied to her with a smile.
"Great! You can come with me now. Her match is soon," she grabbed my hand and walked out of the room.
In the lobby, many people saw the sight of the untouchable lady, Delphine is dragging a young boy out of the building followed by her knight.
And just like that, the three of us are now at the Colosseum, waiting for a person to come out.
"So, what do you want to show me?" I asked her.
"Just keep on watching," she replied.
After a while, the whole Colosseum roared when a woman comes out into the field carrying a khopesh. She has black long hair with some cyan highlights. She wears brown leather armor and a headband around her head. But what drew me in was something I did not expect. There is a Joestar mark on her shoulder.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Jolan Jovita!"
