"You'll start work after the festival. For now, just talk to Matthias and Darius for the arrangements."
Justinian grabbed a ring he had prepared in advance, one that only he could have access to.
"Here, just show it to them as proof."
He tossed the ring at the citizen, crossing his legs on his throne.
"Will that be all?"
"Y-yes, my lord!"
The citizen bowed, then left the palace with a wide smile on his face; he not only gained a huge position but also a huge paycheck.
One that would make any normal citizen smile uncontrollably.
"Will you join in on the celebrations, my lord?"
"No, but you're welcome to join them."
Justinian stood up from his throne before heading back to his room, closing the door with a satisfied thud as he collapsed on his bed.
"Ughhh... I can't believe those guys still have energy to party."
Justinian grumbled, looking at his ceiling. He just survived the biggest threat to his duchy; now it should be smooth sailing, right?
