Chapter 4-40 : Dignity Is Important For A Feudal Lord (part 1)
Two and a half weeks had passed since the villagers brought Aaron to the village square and tied him to a chair.
Even though Mylia had taught him a lesson, he still yelled and cursed the villagers several times since then.
However, every time he did that, Bonnie would throw the magic stones she got from Mylia one at a time at him and shout, “Shut the hell up!” to make him quiet.
Thanks to her, the villageー No. The Lavender Town’s peaceful and tranquil atmosphere was protected.
Yes, it was no longer a village. The development was still ongoing, but because there were so many newly built large buildings, it no longer looked like a village.
The Atwood Village had turned into a town called Lavender Town in a short amount of time thanks to the leadership of the three sisters and the workers who did their best to develop their village.
By the way, Robin surprisingly had been quiet lately unlike her crazy father.
She sometimes wandered around the town but she didn’t do any bad things.
However, Bonnie once got a report from a young man from the Griffon Village who worked in the town that Robin had been stalking him for a few days.
He said he was so scared of the way the landmine woman stared at him that he locked himself in his house for a couple of days.
As for Alex, Bonnie made him work like a horse. Sometimes he ran away from his post and looked for Mylia, but then he always got caught by Josephine and got punished by her.
The griffons had been searching for the magic stone since the chair accident, but unfortunately, they still haven’t been able to find it until now.
When Chloe told Mylia about that, Mylia replied carefreely, saying, “Perhaps the future has changed.”
She told Chloe that there was nothing to worry about since she had installed the Tania Crystals she made together with Titania all over the town. A giant defensive barrier would protect the entire city from the meteor impact.
Meanwhile, the first wave of immigrants from various regions with a total of more than two thousand people were heading toward the Lavender Town after Baron Hansen permitted them to pass his town.

A few days later, one of Duke Griffith’s knights who was escorting the immigrants came to the new Atwood’s Mansion where Mylia lived with Chloe and Bonnie. It was bigger than the old, run-down mansion.
After the knight knocked on the door, he was greeted by Chloe and guided to the drawing room.
After that, Chloe went to the dining table in the kitchen where Mylia was.
「Mylia, we have a guest.」(Chloe)
「A guest?」(Mylia)
Mylia, who was enjoying the new chocolate cake made by Jasmine, licked her fingers and cleaned them with magic.
「Yeah, he’s one of Duke Griffith’s knights.」(Chloe)
「Ah, that means the immigrants will arrive soon.」(Mylia)
「I guess so. He is waiting in the drawing room.」(Chloe)
「Okay.」(Mylia)
Mylia put the remaining cake in her magic bag and followed Chloe to the drawing room.
As soon as the two entered the room, the knight in silver armor stood up from his seat and bowed.
「Lady Mylia, I’m sorry if I’m interrupting you from working.」(knight)
「It’s okay. I wasn’t working anyway. Please have a seat.」(Mylia)
Mylia and Chloe sat on the sofa facing the knight.
「Do you want to drink? Please wait a second. I’ll prepare tea for you.」(Mylia)
Saying that, Mylia took out a tea set from her magic bag and prepared tea for the knight, Chloe, and herself.
The maids who were working for Mylia were still living in the mansion in the royal capital, so Mylia had to prepare tea herself for a while.
「Thank you very much.」(knight)
「So… Do you have anything to report?」(Mylia)
「Yes. We have been escorting the immigrants from the Southern Town of Hamanulle. We encountered monsters several times on the way but we were able to handle the situation and keep the immigrants safe. I estimate that the immigrants and the rest of the knights will arrive tomorrow at noon.」(knight)
「I see. Thank you for the report and thank you for escorting the immigrants. Ah, your armor is a bit dirty. Let me clean it for you.」(Mylia)
Mylia smiled at the knight and used purification magic to clean his armor which was stained with dust while traveling.
The knight was surprised when he saw his dirty armor turned into shiny silver armor that looked like new.
At that moment, he realized that Mylia was not an ordinary girl but an excellent little witch just as rumored.
「Thank you, Lady Mylia.」(knight)
「You’re welcome. By the way, you must be tired, right? There’s a newly built inn in this town. You can rest there. I will pay for the room, so you don’t have to worry about it.」(Mylia)
「Lady Mylia, you’re too kind. I can’t thank you enough.」(knight)
「Please don’t mind it.」(Mylia)
The knight deeply bowed to Mylia and smiled at her.
「Since my business here is finished, I will take my leave now. Lady Mylia, Lady Chloe, if you will excuse me.」(knight)
「Let me take you to the entrance.」(Chloe)
「Thank you.」(knight)
The knight and Chloe stood up from their seats and left Mylia alone in the room.
Not long after, Chloe returned and sat next to Mylia.
「Hahh… More than two thousand people will arrive tomorrow, huh?」(Mylia)
「We’re going to be busy.」(Chloe)
「Yeah, very very busy…」(Mylia)
「Fufu. But let’s do our best, Mylia.」(Chloe)
「Un! I hope everyone will like this town!」(Mylia)
Seeing Mylia’s dazzling smile, Chloe couldn’t help but smile too.
「Oh, right. We will need the documents containing the immigrants’ data from Aria-san.」(Chloe)
「Aa, you’re right. I’ll go see her then. Do you want to go with me?」(Mylia)
「Come to think of it, I haven’t seen her in a long time… Alright, let’s go together!」(Chloe)
「Un! Wait a sec… Hmmmphhh!!」(Mylia)
In order to teleport with Chloe, Mylia had to use her dryad mana, so she squeezed her stomach to pop her radish sprout out of her head.
「Fufu. Do you have to do that every time?」(Chloe)
「Yeah. It’s kinda troublesome.」(Mylia)
「That radish sprout looks cute on you though.」(Chloe)
「Onee-chan…」(Mylia)
「Fufu. Let’s get going, shall we?」(Chloe)
「Un!」(Mylia)
Mylia grabbed Chloe’s hand and used teleportation magic, heading to the Griffith Family’s secondary mansion in the royal capital.
