Nor I would have, even if I could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contact is strict enough, that I couldn't even discuss it with my sister or my husband, who looking at me with questions in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Silver took another step, and the power increased again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making Silas, focus on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not just the power that is increasing, but the emotions mist is also getting denser, which would create denser mist clouds at the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is happening?\" asked Emmyth. Meria's date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of us smiled and turned to Silver, who took another step, and the power of the legacy increased further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is legacy advancing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone asked, and the intelligent one smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legacy had already advanced. Silver is only revealing advancement now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these past six months, I had seen enough to be sure, that legacy had reached Grade II.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Silver is showing only the power of Grade I.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its powerful, but still a Grade I,\" replied young voice. I turned and saw it is a young girl seventeen-eighteen years old girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I am right, that girl is the granddaughter of Inam's legacy host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had come to the tower several times, when it was being constructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took another step and then another with every step. The power of the legacy would increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people are watching. Even the lord of Owlspring had a great interest in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's clear, that you know. You should have told your dear husband about it,\" said Silas, and I shook my head in regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really wish to talk to my husband about it. I rarely hid things from him, but this time I couldn't. Not even a hint or a suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is hard. Weighing when speaking about the legacy, like walking on eggshells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Contract,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not a hint or suggestion, but the word, I am allowed to say, without facing the repercussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Silver reached the end of the stairs and looked at all like he did on the first step before taking the step into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GASP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard the clicking sound of their feet reaching the ground, when a massive change occurred, that made all the people gasp in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of legacy took a massive jump. It is not just the quantity of the power that increased, but also its quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the mist, it got denser. Its texture was smoothened, and it's seemed to have gotten heavier with the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, all these changes are nothing in front of how it is making me feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is indescribable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grade II, legacy,\" said people in shock as its power filled the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It enchanted the people, and mesmerized them. Turning this already piece of heaven, more heavenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't help, but be proud seeing that. As I am one of the people, who had helped in making it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is what I call an entrance,\" praised Silas and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't think, I would forget this entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are still shocked, while intelligent ones are in deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could already guess they were thinking about when the legacy had ascended to Grade II.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sign, not even a whisper of ascendence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had happened less than a year after its birth. A feat, an extremely few legacies are able to achieve. If they are thinking that, they are quite wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had reached Grade II in six months or less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had started to see the clues. In the second month, I came here. On the surface, it felt like Grade I, a legacy, but the way Silver, Carla others talk about it, it didn't feel like Grade I.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't understand those hints and glances back then or I would have come to a conclusion a lot sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is all becoming very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With clear understanding, a thought came to my mind. 'What if it had advanced to the Grade II, within three months of its birth?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pushed the thought as soon as it came to my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have created quite something, love. It is looking even more beautiful, in the power of Grade II legacy,\" said Silas as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is absolutely right; the Grade II, legacy has taken its beauty and the legacy to next level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget the beauty, think about the emotion essence, he will get from all sixteen floors, not to mention the plants.\" Said Emmyth, making me sigh internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meria, please, help, get some essence and resources from the plants. You know, how much it would help me,\" he requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man is a childhood friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can't think past his profession. It is the reason why he is here; he had begged Meria to take him to the party, knowing she had an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Em, I had promised you an introduction, and that is the only thing I will do. Nothing more,\" said Meria, glaring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to say something, but closed his mouth seeing her expressions and turned to me with pitiful eyes, but got the same look as her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ting Ting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of class clinking rang out, and we turned to Silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome young man who sparked the legacy and whose heart is filled with wild ambitions and has the will to bring them to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, I feel a little scared of the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, everyone, for joining me, on this auspicious occasion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is also my birthday. I am twenty today and I hope, I will stop hearing the word, so young from now on,\" he said, drawing out a laughter across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven months ago; this precious thing, has been sacrificed to deal with those who wished to harm us,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We had to build it anew, with a stronger foundation, but its purpose is the same. Which is to provide an experience that will remain etched in your heart forever,\" I said, looking at all the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some are still shocked by the changes, that they are barely listening to my speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see their rings, bracelets, and staff lighting up as they sent messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had decided to reveal the advancement of the legacy, which I planned to do, since the moment I decided to build the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, the way, I was planning to reveal it is completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was planning to show it as a real advancement but changed my mind. I decided to go out and create a show of it; tell people, it had advanced months ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will create an effect and spread the news far and wide. Create more interest in legacy and the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a challenge, but my legacy and I will do our everything, to provide that to you,\" I said and raised my glass, and others raised it with me, before taking a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many closed their eyes for a second. It is an expensive liquor, 27th of the top hundred, which had been aired with the mist of legacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The music resumed, and I walked toward the most important guest of the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Verulus, thank you for gracing my humble city, with your honored presence,\" I said to a middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Owlspring looks average. He has a medium height and build, with an average face. His hair is brown, and his eyes are pale green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelus Verulus is anything but average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was quite a warrior, in his younger days. Lv. 30+, before he had taken the duties of Owlspring. His information said the man was close to Lv. 40.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The honor is all mine, Lord Silver. Your city, especially legacy, is worth making a trip,\" he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled and turned to the beautiful half-elf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Tylcharis, I hope, you enjoyed our spa,\" I said to the woman, and a smile lit up across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was a wonderful experience, and I am hoping that Lord Caelus would join me tomorrow, in it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He needs to stop caring about his people all the time and take care of himself too, time to time,\" she said, looking at him with frustration and love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her is a nine-treatment plan. She had five treatments today; she will have four tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The spa is really good, my lord; I hope, you will try at least one treatment before leaving,\" I said to the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't reply to that, but smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I talked to him, before moving to the second important guest. The Lord of Amberhold, Silas Blackwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and his wife are talking to my sister and madam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Lord of Owlspring, his appearance was also sudden. It was Ignatius, who was supposed to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded at my sister and madam, who had sparks of anger appearing in her eyes seeing me. I have been told by multiple sources that she had been angry since she had left the baronies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was so good at controlling her expressions. I had never seen an ounce of enmity in her growing up, but ever since she came here, it had become more visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, much so that she is having a problem controlling it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, I don't really care. I hope she didn't cross a line, or I will have to do something, I really don't want to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Blackwell, thank you for coming,\" I said to the man. \"I have to see it since my wife had praised it so much.\" He replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it good, as she said?\" I asked. \"She had grossly undersold it,\" replied the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I couldn't help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your words mean a lot, my lord,\" I said to the man. \"I hope, you would spend at least a day in the city, my lord. Explore what it has to offer,\" I added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I very much planned to,\" replied the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I introduced Carla to him and moved to the third more important guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are two people, who share that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Rutto,\" I greeted the pudgy man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His majesty, Emperor Inkav wishes you a long and prosperous life. Lord Silver,\" said the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, thank his majesty for his kind words, Lord Rutto,\" I replied, carefully avoiding the title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is crown prince and should be an emperor as he declared himself, but more than half of the empire is refused to accept him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to be delicate about this since I know a lot of people are looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had come to the city before when the legacy was born but was sent away by the count. He came again and had the same intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this time, too, he will not get what he wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will, my lord,\" he said before he turned his expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The emperor had sent me as guardian of your legacy, my lord. It would be wise, to make it as formal as soon as possible,\" he stated, casting a glance at left at the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, he didn't waste any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been trying for a meeting since he stepped into the city in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants to become a guardian of the legacy. Well, it is not going to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All in good times, Lord Rutto,\" I said to the man and walked away. He wanted to say something, but closed his mouth, seeing me walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could have followed me. If we weren't in the crowd and many people, sneakily looking at us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, I stopped in front of the second, most important people. An old man, a head full of thick green hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Thorsten,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thorsten is what Rutto is to the crown prince. He is sent by Princess Orlene or Empress Orlene, depending on who you ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants to be a guardian of the legacy, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two aren't the only ones who came. Every prince and princess had sent their people, with the sole intention of becoming a guardian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them will be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap on thebelow to read20Advanced Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>",2081,"2026-06-09T06:54:39.599Z",1,"novelbin.me","5fca6006b9abc1a313709c60cc22d888031f338b9474abd590f66cc4172f8556","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-407","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-405",917,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcity-of-desire-kingdom-building-cover.jpg"]
