Shin stood before his people, his voice strong and commanding as he spoke.
"My name is Shin Tempest, and I am the lord of this territory. These are my wives, Velzard and Shego Tempest. Treat them with the same respect and loyalty that you would show me.
"From this day forward, I proclaim that we are the Kingdom of Legends. I will make this the strongest kingdom the world has ever known."
(Ding!)
"First task completed: Name territory.
• Reward: One Gacha Ticket for each category.
• New Feature Unlocked: Heart can now monitor the territory to track loyalty, happiness, hunger levels, and more.
• Intermediate Territory Recruitment Scroll obtained."
Shin smiled with satisfaction before turning his attention to the man dressed as a steward.
"What's your name?" Shin asked.
"My name is John, my lord," the man replied respectfully.
"John," Shin continued, "would you like to serve as my steward?"
John's eyes lit up with pride. "Yes, my lord. I would be honored."
"Good," Shin nodded. "You mentioned your family earlier. Can you tell me about them?"
"Of course," John replied. "My wife, Jane, is an experienced cook. My daughter, Alicia, has been trained as a maid, and I've been teaching my son, Jerry, to take over my duties when I retire."
Shin's gaze softened. "John, are you and your family willing to pledge your loyalty to the Tempest family?"
Without hesitation, John responded. "Yes, my lord. From this day forward, we pledge ourselves to the Tempest family."
"Then it's settled," Shin declared. "John, you are now the Chief Steward. Your wife, Jane, will serve as the Head Chef. Your daughter, Alicia, will take the role of Head Maid, and your son, Jerry, will train under you to one day take your place."
John bowed deeply. "Thank you, my lord. We will not disappoint you."
Shin turned to John once more.
"I have seeds for fruits and vegetables. Distribute them to the farmers so they can begin planting in the farmland."
"As you command, my lord," John replied.
Shin then addressed the crowd.
"Tomorrow, I will hold interviews with John to assign jobs within the lord's manor and advisory positions. We will also begin taking a formal registry of all residents."
He added, "For now, go to John to receive your seeds and settle into your new homes."
Turning to Ri Shin, Shin gave his next set of orders.
"Ri Shin, have the troops settle into the barracks. Then, you, Kyou Kai, and Ka Ryo Ten should meet me at the lord's manor in one hour."
"Understood, my lord," Ri Shin said with a firm salute before moving to carry out his orders.
