"I've finally caught you, you evil and sinful noble!" The voice was very pleasant, but the content made Rayshui feel far from happy.

He took a closer look and found a long sword resting on his neck, wielded by a young girl.

The girl had a delicate face like a doll, looking around 16 or 17 years old, wearing armor and looking very heroic! Her dazzling golden long hair gave her a noble aura.

Even the armor couldn't hide her attractive figure.

Ah... it felt like he had seen a similar character in some anime or manga. Was it a certain knight or a white beast?

"Accept your fate!"

"Wait!"

No way! His wonderful life as a lord had just begun, how could it end so abruptly?

"If you have any last words, say them quickly." The female knight in front of him was incredibly straightforward, stopping after hearing Rayshui's words. She clearly hadn't heard the saying that villains die from talking too much.

"Um, I think you've got the wrong person! I just became the lord today! I'm not the same person as the previous lord!" Rayshui quickly thought of an idea and said.

He was new in the area and there was no reason for someone to assassinate him. So, the possible target for assassination must be the previous lord. As long as he made it clear that he had nothing to do with the previous lord, everything should be fine, right?

"Really?" The girl knight tilted her head and slightly loosened her sword.

She seemed to have heard that the evil lord of this place was an ugly, fat pig-like man.

But the noble in front of her, this young man of similar age to herself, was neither fat nor ugly. On the contrary, he was very handsome, ranking among the top in her experience.

"Really!"

Yo! Young girl, trust others easily like this, in the anime world, can get killed or worse.

"Hmm... how can you prove it?" The girl narrowed her eyes and asked.

"How to prove... Can't you just ask around outside? I believe there's a big difference between me and the previous lord!" Rayshui thought for a moment and answered.

It should be easy to prove if they are the same person or not.

After all, he is so handsome and suave that the former lord could not compare.

"Hmm... then how can you prove that you won't be like the previous lord in the future?" The girl knight asked again.

"Why don't you stay and monitor me? The righteous knight." This question didn't stump Rayshui, but rather fulfilled his wish.

After all, what he lacked now was protection, and if he could win over the female knight, he would gain some extra security.

Of course, the necessary condition to win her over was to keep her by his side first; otherwise, there would be no chance of success.

"Okay! I'll stay and monitor you! If you make any moves like the previous lord, I'll..."

"I got it, I got it."

A relaxed expression appeared on Rayshui's face. He was a high school student from the 21st century, and his treatment of the people of East Tower City would definitely be different from that of the previous lord.

Exploiting the people, that's something he would never do.
