There is, at least, a need for a weight to suppress them and keep them in the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's another reason, I need to return to the Greltheaven as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a deep breath and calm myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to do this perfectly. There shouldn't be a single voice against my decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, I reached the door of the conference room and the Lord's Presence spread out of my body. It froze the guards at the door of the conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skill is powerful, but not enough to freeze guards like it did right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord's Presence couldn't do that, even at Lv. 30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the aura, I had spread out with the power of the Lord's Presence merged in it. Making it focus on them absolute efficiency with natural suppress of the aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them like this, Jon becomes visible for a moment and opens the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded at him and the guards before walking into the conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spreading my aura through the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many had already heard about the aura. Those that had doubts, they had instantly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone, Bishop Alanis, and Azalea were the first to get control over their emotions. It had affected them for a fraction of a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others got up as they controlled their emotions in this suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord,\" they greeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone,\" I replied and pulled half of the power of the aura as I sat down. I looked at the name tent in front of me, which stated my name and position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is another one directly opposite to me on the other side. It didn't have a name, only the title 'Governor of Panar,'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see how people, casting a glance at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauging their expressions; they are very sure, that whoever the governor is. They are in the room; they are right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor of Panar,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a no need to wait any further; it's time, I reveal the person I had chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People began to look at each other, but soon some noticed the movement and shock appeared in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That shock spread into the eyes of everyone as Ina stood in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord.\" She bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock of earlier had disappeared from her eyes. So, had the tears; the only thing that remained there was conviction and belief in herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lola put the intricate box down and opened it, before taking out the brooch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brooch is round and made of precious metals and gems. That is a crafted into floral shade with expert skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the brooch is the crest of Panar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red shield surrounded by a walled ring. On that red shield is an emblem of the House of Silver, not the mercantile house, but a noble house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one founded by me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one looks deep enough, they will see inside the crest of Panar and the emblem of the house of silver had misty liquid inside. It's not a liquid, but the core essence of my legacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took the brooch in my hand and took it toward her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By my authority, as the Lord of Greltheaven and Panar. I declare, Lady Ina Knox as Governor of Panar,\" I declared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Appointment, with 'Governor,' as the appointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The full power of my aura spread across the conference room with the Lord's Presence; they also sensed the Appointment, which changed the expressions on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Stone's expressions changed, sensing the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I declared, I pinned the authority brooch on her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the great honor, my lord. I will try to live up to your expectations,\" she replied, kneeling in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a great responsibility, but I have complete confidence and trust in your abilities,\" I said, magnifying the effect of my words through Silver Tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got up, and I turned to Lola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened the scroll, and shock appeared on the faces as they sensed the Imperial Class's power from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a letter of appointment. In which imperial Prince Lamanov had given his support to whoever I appoint as the Governor of Panar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Lamanov, is the youngest prince and a bastard, before the emperor legitimized him a few years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is the weakest of princes. He had a small territory that the emperor had bestowed upon him, but he ran away from there before Geim captured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been fine without it too, but with this, it became more official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly. It will help her gain the class sooner. It cost me a lot, but it's worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave her the pen, and it scratched across the scroll as she signed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations Governor Knox,\" Stone congratulated, before signing the document as a witness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations Governor Knox,\" said Bishop Alanis with a big smile on her face and sign the scroll with the power of her class in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it was Aazalia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had informed her of my choice yesterday and she agreed with it, after some hesitation. Her hesitation is not about Ina's former profession, but about her abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is going to be a leader of the second army, which will be based in Panar and would require her to work closely with Ina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her former professions are going to make things difficult for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know people still call her whore and prostitute, along with other names. There is contempt for her, despite her achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This powerful position will not be easy with that baggage; it will be extremely difficult, but I am confident of her abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I was not, I would have given it to Hendricks or Hardt. They would have been much safer choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making her Governor will not only make things difficult for her but also for me. There will be massive pressure, especially imperials, Namdar, and other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even merchant states might show the reservations, but I am ready to bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, everyone signed it. Some quite unwillingly, but they had no choice with me looking at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can voice their opposition to my choice. Especially in front of all these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your support, everyone. I will work hard to win your trust,\" said Ina, and walked toward her seat, before sitting down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is one more announcement. I have to make it,\" I said and turned to Azaelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got up and walked toward me. Lola put another box in front of me that had stars, stripes, and medals in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promote Maj. General Azaelia to Lt. General Azaelia for her bravery against the undead in battle of Panar and give her the command of the second army,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From today, she will be Defender of Panar,\" I announced and appointed her as 'Defender.' With the Appointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your trust, my lord,\" she replied with a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were big smiles and loud congratulations. Unlike Ina, there is real support for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is going to be a tremendous challenge for her to win such trust and support, but if anyone could do it, then it would be here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senar\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Senar, are you all, right?\" asked Denlin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking all worried, seeing me frozen in shock with tears flowing out of my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More than fine,\" I replied to the young woman and wiped my tears away, before walking toward the band with purposeful steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the signal, the server came with a glass of golden liquid. The other servers moved swiftly and began to serve golden drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite expensive, and I was displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are using it instead of some cheap one, but now, I wish, they could have used the most expensive one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wouldn't have minded. If they had used all the funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were surprised seeing the drinks appearing in front of them. They sensed something and turned toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The band stopped as I reached them. I climbed the small stage and turned toward the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at every person looking at me. I felt nervous, but I bore it down and smiled radiantly before opening my mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today is a wonderful day. The one that will be remembered for years,\" I said and paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Silver, the lord of Greltheaven and Panar, had chosen the Governor of Panar.\" I informed and there is a barely any surprise. They already know he will name the Governor today,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you will raise the glass in her honor,\" I said and raised my glass up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They raised it with me, with anticipation burning in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the Governor of Panar, Lady Ina Knox,\" I shouted and drank the wine, while the entire hall fell in complete silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were confused and didn't recognize the name. Many did were shocked, not willing to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most shocked are not patrons, but girls, themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not believe it. Even I couldn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl who was a prostitute like them, till less than two years ago, had become a Governor today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls recovered quickly, and tears started to flow through the eyes, while they blazed with light dreams, and ambition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Ina, becoming a governor, had lighted up dreams and ambitions they had buried deep in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They aren't the only ones. I am feeling the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dreams that seemed impossible a few moments ago. Now felt like they were within reach. I feel like, I could just grab them as long as I worked hard enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap onto read 20 Advanced Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>",1640,"2026-06-09T06:54:39.600Z",1,"novelbin.me","f86d16694979df6d2b77c297875e8b8e81f3e2945310d554f3997dea5975b7c1","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-106","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-105",917,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcity-of-desire-kingdom-building-cover.jpg"]
