CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 150- NEW SECRETARY

"Although I respect the Commander more than anyone in this world and believe in him, I can’t back down in this aspect. I will be the one to defeat the demon lord".

Looking at the boys getting all rowdy and pumped up for nothing, Gwen sighed. The order of the Temple of Light was really peculiar.

"Just ignore them, boys are like this," a voice sounded next to her. A petite girl who seemed to be even younger than herself was riding on a horse next to her.

She had bright silver hair and a cute face that looked extremely young. If not for the fact that this girl was wearing a cloak behind her armor, showcasing her rank, Gwen would have totally believed that she was younger than her.

"You are thinking rude things in your head." Saying that, the silver haired girl and the horse ran past her.

Who was she? Why didn’t she see her before? In any case, one thing was certain, that girl was a knight. Gwen thought to herself.

The next day, just like Reinhardt ordered, lines of people crowded his place. This time though, they were not the labourers from the outer district but the rich and influential from the central district.

All of them neatly lined up in front of his office, where he, Ryley, and a few knights were going through the documents. While they were not experts in this department, they were still managing somehow.

However, going through the documents of this many people at once was impossible. The next day, an even larger pile stacked up.

Just when it seemed like it would take them over a month just to go through all this, Marquis Boulevard from the capital came to see him.

"Lord Reinhardt, I have shown Marquis Boulevard and his entourage to the guest hall. When should I say you will meet with them?" Reinhardt, who was working at his desk, looked at Anastasia.

Marquis Boulevard? Ah, that’s right. The queen did say that Marquis Boulevard will help him with managing the territory. The latter’s visit might be related to that.

"Entertain them for a while. I’ll be meeting with them after I finish with this pile of documents."

There were numerous piles of documents, some even as tall as the ceiling of the room. However, the one he was pointing at was a small stack. That said, even that was taking him a long time.

Anastasia bowed her head in understanding, pouting her lips a little. Ever since coming from the capital, Reinhardt was so busy that he could not give her time. Naturally, this headmaid was starting to miss their early morning sessions.

After finishing his work, the divine paladin stumbled to the guest hall.

"Haha, Sir Reinhardt, I cannot express how immensely fortunate and blessed I am feeling to see you again." Marquis Boulevard stood up from his seat and started singing his praise.

There he goes again. Ever since he was hit by his skill [Radiant Ascension], his personality changed completely, which was quite weird since the skill possessed no such effect.

The current attitude of Marquis Boulevard made Reinhardt quite skiddish, as if thousands of ants were crawling on his skin.

"Ah, I just knew it, today was going to be one of the best days of my life. Seeing you in person and basking in your divine presence, I am once again forced to realise how insignificant of a man I am in front of the divine. Your very being, your appearance, truly magnificent..."

"Ahem." Reinhardt could no longer endure his words and coughed.

"Why don’t you sit down, Lord Boulevard".

His eyes then turned towards the other person who was here. Seated next to Marquis Boulevard was a woman who appeared to be in her late twenties or early thirties. She had long flowing brown hair that was tied into a ponytail behind her back.

Her skin was fair, and her eyes a captivating shade of amber. Her lips, highlighted by the lipstick she put on, were full and parted in a respectful and confident smile. She possessed a pleasantly curvy body with a well defined waist and generous bust.

She wore an elegant black colour suit that accentuated her curvy figure. The jacket opens in the front to reveal her cleavage, and her pencil cut skirt stopped just after her knees, revealing her smooth, shapely legs.

"Nice to meet you, Sir Reinhardt; no, I should address you as Lord Reinhardt now."

The woman stood up to greet him with a poised posture. Reinhardt arched his brows and nodded.

There was something unsettling about her. His senses which had reached divine, reacted to something.

Mistaking his confusion, Marquis Boulevard introduced, "Allow me to introduce you to my lovely and beautiful wife, Melissa Boulevard".

So she was the wife of this guy.

"I see, so what do I owe the pleasure of Marquis Boulevard visiting me?"

"Haha, what are you saying. The pleasure is all ours. Before I begin, I must apologise, due to ah... some complication, I couldn’t visit you sooner".

Marquis Bouldevard bowed his head. After that, he continued from where he left.

"As I explained to you once before, on the orders of the queen, I came here to introduce you to your new assistant" He gestured at his wife.

"Huh?!" Reinahrdt blinked his eyes, gobsmacked for a second.

"Let me tell you, while she might be my wife, she was once the assistant of Her Majesty the Queen and learned governance and administration from her. I’m sure she can perfectly assist you in managing a territory," Marquis Boulevard added as if advertising the qualities of his wife.

"No, it’s not about that..."

Seeing Reinhardt hesitate, Melissa spoke up, "Lord Reinhardt, you can rest assured that my qualification are impeccable. I can help you manage the city".

No, that’s not what he was thinking. Well, if she learned under her Majesty the Queen, then her ability to govern was without any doubt. What he was baffled by was Marquis’s choice to send his wife to assist him. Does he not find it weird?
