•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Tyler's office was situated on the third floor of the north wing in the Demon's king castle, it was the last office at the end of the Corridor with armed guards geared in full plated Adamantine armor and were stationed at the door at all times.
Inside, its owner was nowhere to be found yet the faint sound of paper being shuffled could be heard. Next to the large exquisite wooden desk that was meant to be used by Tyler, sat a smaller yet equally exceptional and luxurious table and chair.
Seated upon such a chair was Liz, the recently appointed General Overseer of the Six Great Demon Generals, and by extension, the entire Darknar Family and the territory they controlled.
The expression on her perfect face was currently solemn and she wore a pair of Magic glasses as she sat upright to process the mountain of documents laid on the desk.
Of course, Tyler had already assigned a separate office specifically for her, one that was at the very least, equal in status to his own as his vassals were insistent on making him use the largest office even though he couldn't care less and frankly, a larger office made him uncomfortable.
At first, or at least for the first day, she had indeed been using that office as hers for obviously, clerical purposes. Yet, after only a single day doing that, she had unexpectedly changed her mind saying she could no longer work away from her beloved as she was unable to get any work done that way.
Although her request was met with hesitation at first, her sincere pleas on the practical advantages of her request, in combination with a rare relentless barrage of complaints, she was able to receive approval from Tyler after wearing him down.
Frankly, Tyler blamed Rain for this. If she hadn't spent the entire day yesterday lazing about in his office with him, then Liz probably wouldn't have gotten lonely all by herself and probably a little jealous.
However, this was not a good thing for Tyler at all. He had created so many titles and handed out all his responsibilities to more capable individuals because he wasn't confident in his abilities even with Uriel helping him.
Part of that was also because he had worked insanely hard all his life trying to keep his family afloat and wanted to try being lazy for once.
However, that seems to have backfired as he now had no choice but to work hard now that Liz would be working in his office.
Staring at the vacant seat, Liz lowered her head and pouted slightly. The maid assigned to Tyler's office for the day (not the one permanently assigned to accompany him, Cora.) was standing silently behind her.
Due to that, Liz's rare expression went completely unseen. Her beloved master and husband, (giving as he had given her a ring,) was currently out tending to his duties and so was absent from the Demon King's Castle, now named, the Darknar Castle.
He was taking care of his business in their new city named, Paragon City. Which had become a lot busier now that it had been a week ago, giving as its population had now surpassed 11,000. After he had assigned titles to the Six Great Generals, he had naturally assigned jobs to everyone in the temporary throne room two days ago.
He had named the former chief of the Raven settlement, Hecate Redoy Darknar as the Mayor of Paragon City and the Dragonwrought kobold, Tarka as her Deputy Mayor.
Jarrett Zeni Darknar was then named the Captain of the City's guards and was placed in charge of the city's security while the former captain of Raven's settlement guards was named the Vice-Captain.
Talen was named the Captain of the Royal Guards which was an elite unit that was permanently stationed to maintain the defense of the castle along with Tyler's undead.
Hart was named Vice-captain of the Royal Guards. Berlin and Ragdek were officially named Head Blacksmiths with other blacksmiths working under them to mass produce their tools and equipments. The same goes for the other dwarves as they each headed their own division and trained those interested in learning their crafts.
Of course, those that could learn from them were all regulated strictly. After all, their knowledge was incredibly valuable and could not be allowed to be leaked out as Tyler had them working on quite the futuristic projects.
Kela was assigned to work with Z as his protégé as it seems she was now a lot more interested in becoming a scout than a swordsman. Apparently she hadn't been the same since the events in the red ogre settlement and had only smiled when she is around Z.
Z's intelligence debision also now had members like Kraz Hlot Darknar, the former intelligence officer for the Raven settlement, alongside everyone that was once part of his unit. They were now all working for Z who had set up a command center in the South wing highest floor.
Gail and Lora had both joined the Royal Guards as head of the sentries and the mages' units.
Azar, the former chief of the red ogre settlement was named Cheif of the Darkin Settlement. That was the settlement of the Evolved Trolls and Grey trolls that remained in the Darkin mountain range.
They had already built a small settlement in an enclosed space far from the mountain Golems and could now secretly mine those mines still being protected by the Great Five Magic as Tyler was yet to demand their retreat from his region.
A lot of the others in the hall at that time were assigned positions in the divisions headed by the Six Great Demon Generals except for Orias and Mia.
They were the Captain and Vice-Captain of the Raven settlement's strongest force, the Black Raven, so Tyler thought it best they remained together as a new legion called the Black Flames.
This meant he now had three battle legions under his control with the first being the Chaos Lord, Moloc's Legion, the Chaos Legion that currently only compromises of two members.
The second was the Lightning General's Legion, Rain's assassin's Legion that was not even formed yet. And now, third, the Black Flames who already have over a hundred members and could instantly start recruiting more from the new settlements that had moved to Paragon city.
As for the city itself, construction work had been progressing smoothly ever since the manpower had increased so dramatically. With Loriel and her Azure dragonflies rapidly transporting materials from both the Darknar Forest and the Darkin mountain range, there was no shortage of the raw materials needed to set up the foundations of the city.
However, the roads that were being constructed across the region were not progressing as fast as they should as the workers needed a lot more supplies than they could obtain at the moment. It would help tremendously if they could trade some of the Darknar region's valuable resources for things they could use but currently, they had no allies.
If this situation is not ratified soon, even Tyler's persona as a merchant would be unable to sustain them for long.
Currently, Tyler was preparing to return to Winged city as Lix and Nadine as his partner Lilith to conduct a massive trade with the Merchant Guild while also doing so more Magic research at the institute even though he had already taken care of his negative corruption.
Besides that, construction of his very own Merchant organization different from the merchant Guilds was underway and he already had hundreds of merchants in his city. However, as most of them were either lesser demons or demi-humans, they would be unable to make large trades in most regions.
Frankly, they were currently in the most crucial and fragile state of their growth as a noble family, and with so many things happening at once that needed her input or Approval, it had created a shit ton of work for her.
The main problem lies in the sudden influx of people into the incomplete Paragon city, causing a large stock of paperwork to be sent her way as Hecate was busy organizing the construction of the city based on the purposed plans.
Lucky for her, with Albert managing the castle and Erin helping him, the two of them were incredibly efficient as she didn't have to worry about the castle's matters for now.
The problem was finding a use for each of Paragon's city's new residents as they could not afford any incompetence unless they were either too old or children. Sickness or disability was something that could be easily fixed thanks to Erin's High Hydriads who were currently the city's medical units as they trained more healers for the creation of a hospital.
As the Red River had been branched out manually to pass through strategic areas of the city, the High Hydriad had made the River their source so they no longer needed to be supported by Erin and could live on their own as their level of intelligence was quite high.
Liz quietly read through a stack of paperwork in an instant and she slightly frowned as there were still lots of problems in the infrastructure of the city as even with a Mayor, it still needs a lot more ruling types like ministers and ranking officers that could tackle specific tasks and introduced the laws to the city's residents.
However, from the long list of candidates she had been given, none of them seems to be adequately qualified for the positions. This naturally was prolonging her work which was preventing her from spending any time with her master while her friend wad having all the fun with him.
Naturally, this caused her to feel a little irritated and she tried to suppress her emotions but her efforts were in vain. The dissatisfaction in her heart grew and managed to boil over to manifest as complaints.
"How annoying… why are there so may incompetent…"
Labored breath filled with terror could be heard from behind her, yet it was intentionally ignored by Liz. Becoming a leader seems to have affected her a lot as bits of her negative emotions seem to explode out of her in a terrifying pressure anytime she thought of Rain getting closer to Tyler before her.
Still, she needed to be calmer as it seems thinking too much about things always led back to Tyler. To regulate her emotions, Liz sighed heavily. She gently twisted her shoulders a couple of times before turning to look at the remaining documents.
Following Paragon city's— no the Darknar family's accelerating expansion, her workload will continue to increased proportionally unless she finds the right candidates to delegate some of her minor tasks to.
Next was regarding diplomacy:
She was already preparing to have talks with a few selected regions that lacked strong loyalty to the Great Five. Z alongside Nessi had already set out yesterday to further investigate the current situation with these noble families and the best way to approach them as Tyler had no interest in randomly starting wars with the entire continent.
