Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

The next day things were looking up. The paperwork was quickly done, and I now officially own the plot of land that I had looked at. This meant I could go and begin kicking out those who were bad and using the place to do as they please. Of course, I was not doing this alone. I had a team of people, including many knights, with me. I brought the nights that Sir Randford left behind to round up all the criminals so they could do their just time for the sins they have committed. Of course, my team also included Gesel and Fred. Once I told Gesel about it, she said she would help clean things up and help me prep the land as well.

Of course, forced evictions for those who were here to take advantage of the situation would never go smoothly. Many tried to fight only to be manhandled and shoved head first into the ground. When the knights saw my amazing evil person burying technique, they stared at me with wide starry eyes. Okay, well, maybe it was more of a shocked expression. Either way, they were amazed!

But I do have to say this. There were a lot of people and many who had suffered under these bandits’ hands. There were also some women who did the same thing. Sick individuals either way. And it was not just humans either. But also demi humans as well.

It took half a day before we were able to round them all up. And to my surprise, there were over one hundred of them just in this plot of land. Luckily the knights had come prepared and had quite a few prison wagons lined up with them all stuffed inside. Men and women were separated. I guess they all go to different prisons here in this world.

I never thought about it before, but I guess there are just as many female knights as there are male knights. I learned this from one of the female knights that came to pick up the female prisoners. This also made me feel a bit better about my future as I work to try to become a commander._-.

But now, with everything settled, it was time to set up a barrier around the entire plot of land.  Since I would be casting the spell, I would need everyone who would be staying here to help. I would need their help in casting it since I would need their magic signature to allow them to pass through the barrier. A barrier to keep others out to keep the residents safe that would allow people out but not in unless they were written into the runic equation.

And with the number of people that would be staying, I would need to write a large magic equation without their magic signature. But with their magic signature, I can just include it into the magic equation to say these magic signatures are allowed to pass through the barrier freely. The issue I would have after that would be to allow the orphans in. This was something I would need to talk to Sei about and see if she could put me in touch with someone who knew how to set up the same kind of system I have at my room at the inn.

About two hours later, I stood in front of a large group of women and children, as well as some men who were doing their best to support their families. I gazed over the crowd and saw Melinda and her children and smiled as I put my hands behind my back and cleared my throat.: “My name is Faith Cyrilia. I now own this land. Before any of you begin to worry about your future here, please know that I will not kick any of you out. That is only if you are willing to work and make a fair wage. If you are willing to work for me, I will make sure you are rewarded. While it may take time I plan to better each and every one of your lives.

“But there is no free ride on this boat. If you wish to have a better life, you must work. I will not hesitate to kick anyone off my land for those who do not want to work or fake like they do want to work only to slack off in the end.

“Life is not easy. As a demi human I know this better than most of you. I have to work harder than everyone else and have to prove myself useful in order to become anything in this world. Some of you here can understand this just as much as I do. While life does have its ups and downs, yesterday, when I came to look at this land, I did not see a slum. I saw people working hard with what little they had.

“I saw children running around with smiles on their faces. I saw mothers doing what they could for those same children. Father’s who slaved away to make a measly amount of copper to feed the mouths of their family.

“The rest of the east side slums are even worse than this. I have been there. I saw what life is like there. But I am no god and can only do so much for those around me. So I wish to offer you all jobs. For those who do not wish to work, I ask you to please leave. Because if I am forced to kick you out, it will be no different than how you saw the others get dragged away.

“I have a small goal. I do not know how long it will take, but I wish to help not only you all here today but many others in the future as I slowly expand my business and allow more and more of those in the slums decent paying jobs.

“While I am creating these businesses to make money, I am also doing it so that people like you can have a fair chance at life. So I ask once more, if you do not wish to work, please leave now. For those who wish to stay, I will need a bit of your magic to register with the magic barrier, I will be….”

“Faith! What are you doing!?” I heard a very annoying voice as I turned to see Prince Lance walking over with a group of knights following behind him.

I looked over at the neatly dressed Prince with a frown and asked: “That is the question I should be asking you, is it not Princes Lance?”

“I heard you were doing something big, so I came to help out. But why are you here in the slums? I have a better lot of lan….” My anger flared as I stared at the stupid Prince in front of me.

“What am I doing!? I am doing your job! Look at the life these people are stuck living because you can not even do anything to make these people live better lives! Not everyone in the slums is a criminal! You waltz in here acting high and mighty, but even while standing here, you turn a blind eye and ask me what am I doing here!?”  I do not understand it. The slums could easily be fixed, but even now, this prince wants to ignore it and give me land elsewhere? What was the point!?

I watched as Prince Lance’s smile froze. He seemed to be at a loss for words. To be honest, I have no idea why he came running over here in the first place. This had nothing to do with him. Was he still trying to court me!? I already told him no!

“I…. Look, it is not that we wish to have a place like this in the capital. It is just hard to handle….” Hearing Prince Lance’s sad excuse of an answer only made my temper flare more.

“Hard to handle!!? Are you sure you’re fit to be crown prince!?” Silence…. I know I went overboard with my words just now, and even the knights behind the prince had drawn their swords, but I did not care. This stupid prince had no idea what it means to be a ruler who looks after his people. Yes, there might be hundreds of millions of people in this city alone, but so what!? They have a military that numbers in the tens of millions. How can they not have enough men to patrol the city!?

“You dare go against the crown!?” One of the guards yelled out at me, breaking the silence. My guards quickly got into formation in front of me. This also included Gesel and Fred. The tension in the air was so thick that it could be sliced with a knife.

I guess when the captain of the knights with Prince Lance saw his own members facing off against him, his anger seemed to rise quickly because his whole face turned red in anger. “You are all turning traitor!?”

“Stand down!” A firm commanding voice filled the air. I turned to look at a man with knights wearing pitch black armor surrounding him, walking over in what looked like royal robes. To my surprise, the people around me suddenly knelt on the ground with only me standing firmly. Of course, I would not kneel anyway, even if someone asked me to. Of course, that is only if it was not my mother commanding me. Her red bottom technique is still better than mine.

“We finally get to meet Faith Cyrilia.” I already knew who this man was when I first saw him because I mean the crown kind of gives it away.

I bowed my head slightly as I gave a proper curtsey. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty.”
