Chapter 36 A Gamble Only He Understands

Aiden froze for a second as the system chime echoed. In his mind, a whole cluster of “huh?” symbols lit up.

Striking charm? Sure, that tracks.

Noble actions? Where the hell did that come from?

After a moment, the logic fell into place.

Citizenship was priceless for players. For an NPC of Lady Riley’s status, granting it cost next to nothing.

Lady Riley studied him with mild curiosity. “Tell me something. Why are you so intent on becoming a citizen? What goal are you chasing?”

“Uh…” Aiden paused before choosing honesty. “I want to buy property here in Leafport. I’m planning to settle down.”

“I understand.” A faint gleam softened her eyes. “Seeking a settled life instead of drifting is a wise step.”

She followed with quiet interest. “Which district are you aiming for? Tell me, and I might be able to help.”

“That would be perfect.” Aiden felt a tiny spark of satisfaction. He hadn’t expected her to offer help so directly.

Citizenship allowed land purchases, yet red tape still existed. The Duchess‘ personal endorsement removed most of it.

After a brief thought, Aiden answered, “I want to buy into Westhand as much as possible, especially the stretch along Meridian Row.”

“Meridian Row?” Lady Riley blinked, her expression shifting into confusion. “You’re certain about that?”

“Yes.” Aiden’s nod was firm.

Her surprise made complete sense.

Leafport divided itself into four major districts.

“What you want is unusual,” Lady Riley murmured. “I should warn you–acquiring large amounts of land in the other districts is extremely difficult, even with citizenship. Westhand is simple for a reason.”

Her brows tightened. “The west side is viewed as a burden. You’re new here, so misunderstanding this is normal.”

She drew a controlled breath. “You helped me greatly. Let me offer honest advice: don’t get lured by low prices. At this moment, the smartest purchase is Eastguard. You still have time to reconsider. I have enough influence to secure a place for you in the east.”

Aiden shook his head. “No need, Your Grace. I fully understand the state of Westhand.”

“You know, and you still insist?” Her voice carried genuine disbelief.
