"Please come here to register your citizenship." The soldiers had created a stand to register all the villagers and, with the help of the village chief, the villagers were eager to be a part of the Ardagan family.

"To think you would be able to grasp everyone's heart with just a single meal… I guess that's what should be expected from the most popular lord in the four kingdoms." Layla smirked, teasing Noel.
