****(POV)
*Sigh* This job of mine is really exhausting.
I'm the one and only assistant to the lord.
I'm also one of the guards here.
I was really happy at first when I got promoted.
Better salary, the feeling of climbing the hierarchy, power.
I was a fool.
I should have stayed a simple guard.
The lord is extremely lazy and will dump any work there is to be done on me.
Well, the good thing is that I can do the same.
I try to have a few subordinates help me.
Still, it is concerning having a lord that barely cares about the city.
His philosophy is that as long as nothing big happens it's not of his business.
Except that this situation right now might evolve into a huge problem.
There are so many red flags.
The guards and the guild both there, yet none daring to make a move?
This is weird.
Reminds me of that thing with the slimes.
Well, that one was a false alarm.
I personally went to confirm, and the slimes were only slightly higher in number.
