Soon, the new Lord, Rowan —who was only in his early level 20s—emerged, wearing a simple, but classy, suit Silvia brought with her. It was a mix of local nobles’ attire, but with some sensibilities from Terran.

It featured a long, patterned robe, but the cut was meant to emphasize his good shape and broad shoulders.

Silvia herself came along, holding his arms, and she wore a beautiful dress with a color theme that matched his.

She could see eyes on the nobles that surrounded them, all with various emotions and biases, but what was consistent was the admiration for their suits.

She should send Andrei and Veronica a bonus later.

Rowan stood tall in front of the crowd, his red hair particularly bright. If they did not know his level, they might not have been able to tell that his level was just average compared to most people in that room.

They looked at him with various expressions on their faces, some of distaste, some sour, and some interested. Regardless of how they felt about him, they were sure to listen aptly to what he had to say.

Rowan sensed very awkward standing in front of people, but his woman’s hand reassuringly patted his arm.

"I am the New Lord of Voumi Town, Rowan. And since I had been...blessed with holding the token, please be assured that I will do my best to help put Voumi back on track."

"I’m sure everyone is aware of its current state, and it would only be a matter of time before the rot expanded so much that it would take down the entire territory," he paused, looking at his audience. "We will rebuild our Town together, and I hope everyone will cooperate to achieve this."

At his words, a scoff sounded from the side. It was so loud that he, along with others, couldn’t help but turn to the person.

"Isn’t it true that your people planned everything?" he asked. This was something everyone had been whispering about. People could surmise that Alterra had a big hand in what ultimately caused Voumi’s loss.

Not to mention, they practically purged so many from their positions.

In their minds, how dare an Alterran speak of rebuilding when they were responsible for it?

"No, Mafo and his cronies did it to themselves," he said, stern, knowing full well there was nothing to feel guilty about. "They simply took and victimized our people too, so we had to intervene to keep their lives."

"The Old Voumi fell because it was already dying.

"With the rate it was going, it would’ve dragged everyone— especially you, the people who lived here—down along with it."
