Chapter 278: Stride (Part I)

[Charles' POV]

"City Lord, are you sure this is a great idea? The nobles won't allow such a thing." The head butler came to my room after the execution had finished.

"That's the plan. If any of the nobles show resistance, all I need to do is behead them. The nobles of this city shouldn't have this much power in the first place. They have taken their status for granted, and now I'm taking it back." The head butler was taken aback by what I said. I could sense some fear within him, but that didn't matter.

Ever since I gained my power, it has always been like this. If no one can stand against me, I can do anything I want without many consequences. Besides, what I said wasn't false. The nobles here shouldn't even raise their heads against me since my status alone is above theirs.

"Master! There are important guests wanting to meet you!" I could sense some uneasiness coming from Kelsy.
