Quinn is still heading towards his County.

Meanwhile... The king is explaining to one of the princesses about his decision of giving him a county not barony.

King: "The decision is made Jenica! I will give him a county not a barony!"

Jenica (Princess): "But Father! He has no achievements! He is just strong! We don't know ANYTHING about him! He might be a spy!"

King: "We have enough problems with our power! We need somebody STRONG in our ranks! We are running out of strong and powerful physically people! The last ones are my royal guards! The last strong royal died suddenly! I allowed him to have over one hundred slaves without him knowing it but he just up and died! He is our last hope against all-out war!"

Jenica: "But father! He is a demon! Those horns on his head tell us everything!"

King: "Shut up Jenica! He is the strongest in our kingdom! My eyes couldn't see his mana power at all, but that doesn't mean anything! He might be that strong to hide it from even me!"

Jenica: "Yes Father... I will accept your decision father..."

King: "Good Jenica... I will place all my bets on him... The man who introduced himself as Quinn. And we don't have much time... The demon army is heading towards here at the same speed... Only a few weeks remaining..."

And now back to Quinn. He has finally reached his County (after a few more hours...)

I wake up and see... My county... I think? Well... I see a huge castle atleast. When we reach the castle we stop. The door to our carriage opens. I exit with Mirikin and Akuna right behind me. I am still in my... Outfit... But I ignore it and start heading towards the keep. When I reach the Keep Doors two guards try to push them open... I just lift a finger and touch them slightly and they swing open. The guards look at me like a monster again. Hmm... I'll have to find the library here. I couldn't ask the king for some tomes yet. Might sound too suspicious... I'll also need to notify the king about my lack of... Information. Luckily I look like a teen still. Hmm... Too many questions and problems what need answering. I'll handle the ones here first.

I head over to my throne and sit on it. A maid looks at me.

Quinn: "If there are problems in my county please address them to me now. I will handle all the ones I can right here, right now. The rest I will handle later."

The maid nods and looks at the wide open door and then walks out from the throne room. Then a stream of people enter. They look like village elders and other important people. I gesture with my hand for one of them to step forward. An elderly woman steps forward.

Quinn: "Name your problem."

Elderly woman: "My village is starving from all our young'uns from leaving... They want to go to the capital for better jobs than what they get here... What can we do?"

Quinn: "Hmm... What kind of crops or animals do you have?"

Elderly woman: "We are growing potatoes and we have cows."

I explain to them the best way to handle potatoes and cows that I learned from my past life. The elderly woman looks in surprise and then about fifteen percent of the people leave in hurry. I wonder if they had the same questions. I gesture for the next one to come. A younger kid comes forward.

Kid: "Please... Please my lord.... Help my mother... She is sick and we cannot afford medicine... Please give us some money... We will serve you forever..."

I then look at Mirikin and she immediatly understands and hands the kid a couple gold coins. The kid runs off with the money crying. Quite a lot of other kids and elderly people approach Mirikin and ask for money. She hands them the money and they all leave. Only fifty percent of them are left. I gesture for the next one. A teenager comes up.

Teen: "My lord, we are constantly under attack my goblins and such. Please help us!"

Quinn: "Stay here Teenager. When I am finished with the rest I will go with you to your goblin problem and fix it. Personally."

They look in surprise and the teenager steps to the side. So do quite a few other younger people. Only fifteen percent left. I gesture for the next one. A female with a kid approaches.

Woman: "My lord... We lost our house due to a wildfire... Please let us stay in the castle... Please..."

Quinn: "Ok. You may stay here. Maids, please look after her."

A team of maids approach her and signal her to follow them. I gesture for the next. Another kid approaches.

Kid: "Please help us... We ran out of people to help us cut wood... We don't have enough wood for the cold nights... Some of us are being taken by frostbite..."

Quinn: "Mirikin. Please give him some money and keep supplying them with a couple gold coins until we get production back up here. Then I will start giving them gold. Kid, use these gold coins to hire adventurers as lumberjacks. Make sure you don't waste them."

The kid nods and happily runs off with some money. I help the other people with their problems too. Then I head towards the people with the goblin problems. I follow them all around my county clearing goblin camps in an instant by swinging my black blade with full strength and creating a massive air wave what decapitates all the goblins. I then head back to my throne room and close the doors. It is evening now. I fixed all the problems in just a few hours. Mirikin doesn't seem one bit troubled that I am using her money for now. I go to the treasury after getting back to the throne room and see that it only has a few coins. If I were to use these I couldn't do anything. Too little money. I need to ask the king for some support.

I head back to the throne room and signal the maids to show me to my room. A maid with cat ears approaches me. I wonder why none of the maids talk to us. I tried to talk to some on my way to the throne room but they all bowed and didn't say anything. Infact they looked scared when I approached them.

Quinn: "Maids. Why do you look scared when I approach you? Why do you look at me like a monster? Is it because of my unnatural hair color? My unnatural body? My horns? Please tell me."

The head maid appraoches me... Well I think it is the head maid from her outfit.

Head Maid: "Our lord... We cannot talk to royalty such as you... We mere servants, lower than commoners, have no such right..."

I hit the closest wall and create a crack in it. If I weren't holding back my power the entire castle would collapse.

Quinn: "Nonsense! I might be royalty now but I wasn't before I met the king! Me and everybody in my county are the same! I might be the royal who owns this place but that means nothing! I expect all of you to trust me and not just serve me out of fear!"

I start screaming at them. They look scared and Akuna with Mirikin look at me scared too. I then calm down.

Quinn: "I am sorry for screaming at you maids... It's just... I don't want to be an overseer or a ruler of fear... I want everyone to be equal."

The head maid approaches me but is clearly still shaking.

Head Maid: "Y..Yes... We...We understand... We are your equals..."

Quinn: "Don't be afraid of me."

I put my hand on her shoulder and look at her. She starts calming down when she looks linto my eyes. I then let her go.

Quinn: "Please show me my way to my room."

The cat eared maid comes up to me.

Maid: "Please follow me, Quinn..."

I follow the maid and soon reach a huge bedroom. Two other maids took Akuna and Mirikin to the same bedroom. There was a huge bed what seemed to fit 5 people in the bedroom.

Maid: "We hope that... You all are fine with sleeping in the same bed... We don't have any more beds..."

Quinn: "I think it is fine. Is it Mirikin and Akuna?"

Mirikin: "M...May..be..."

Akuna: "Yes!"

I then signal them to leave and they understand. They still listen to me but they do their own things too now and don't just wait for my command. I go to a desk and look for a paper and pen. I find some and start writing my letter to the king with the help of Mirikin upcourse.:

Dear King,

I must ask you to support me with some funds. I just inspected my treasury and it is basically empty. I also must infrom you of my lack of knowledge of this world. I need some basic education so can you arrange for me to attend an academy? Also... Are there any magical tomes? I know nothing of magic.

Yours truly,

Count Quinn.

P.S. The writer of this is actually one of my fellow helpers. Mirikin.

I then go up to the head maid and ask her to send this to the King. She then goes somewhere outside and I soon see a horse leaving. For now all the problems are taken care of and I am quite tired from swinging my sword around. I start undressing but leave my underwear on. I then go to sleep and soon after feel two girls cuddle next to me. I soon start talking to Mayu and Innver about the current situation. They are quite happy with everything for now. Hmm... I wonder if the king will allow me into an academy. I am a count after all... And I really hope he has some magical tomes or a grimoire. I need to learn some magical spells and fast. I can't depend on my apples and my sword forever. The apples might not be usable everywhere If I don't want others to know of my... Origins.

This day was a success I think. I got all the problems fixed. I was expecting there to be some I couldn't fix but I could fix all of them. They all shared some common problems what I took care of really fast. But I feel something coming from the underneath of the castle. I used my mana sense what allowed me to locate something what looked like an egg... I couldn't see the insides of it but I ignored that fact for now. I want to know what that egg holds and what to do with it... But how do i get to there is the first problem.

I will find the answer in the morning probably... For now i'll wait...
