Golden-haired George walked on the streets of Victoria City. When he visited the city last time, the roads were made of mud, and it would become muddy after it rained.

But now the roads were paved with stone slabs, and small paths were paved with crushed rocks. It was painful to walk on the paths, but they were more appealing than most city roads. The Victorians were continuously paving new roads and beautifying the city environment.

It was obvious that Queen Victoria was a person who liked cleanliness. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have that many workers cleaning up the city.

That was what he thought initially. However, he started to contemplate when he observed many Elves and Fairies doing the same job.

Should the Elves and Fairies not work on jobs that were more appropriate for their races? For example, enchanting items or potion concoction. He felt that it was a waste of talent for them to do menial jobs.

The Elves and Fairies weren’t only involved in beautifying the city, they were also involved in logging and the transportation of wooden logs.

This phenomenon went against his understanding. He didn’t spend much time in Victoria City during his previous visit. This time, the more days he spent in the city, the stranger he felt about it.

The races that were usually arrogant weren’t behaving in the usual manner.

For example, an Elf was willing to kneel and acknowledge a Human as his father for a piece of equipment.

Previously, George wouldn’t have believed that such a thing would happen. But that was what he witnessed. The most important thing was that an Elf asked George to help arrange the marriage of a Noble.

The marriage was to marry a Noble lady who had succession rights.

The Elf was female.

When George declined her request because of her gender, the Elf looked disappointed and muttered, “What the heck! I should have chosen a male character!”

George didn’t mind initially. However, the incident was like opening a floodgate and led to many Victorians requesting the same thing.

George was forced to find suitable matches for them. All of a sudden, George had become a matchmaker in Victoria City.

As a Noble, George was well connected. He had made the leaders of the Godly Kingdom unhappy by joining Victoria City, but the Nobles were still willing to deal with him.

The Elves, Fairies, and Humans of Victoria City looked appealing.

To the Human Nobles, it was a reputable act to marry an Elven wife. There were also Noble ladies who were marginalized because they were far down the line of succession. They wouldn’t have the chance to be the successor, so they were more than willing to marry a handsome husband.

Of course, it would be best if their husbands were Elves.

Within a few days, George managed to introduce the appealing Elves to a few Noble clans for prospective marriages.

George didn’t obtain any rewards for his effort since he was already a Noble in Victoria City. People who looked for him claimed to be the Nobles of Victoria City, and they took him to their territories.

Owners of territories were Nobles, so George didn’t doubt their backgrounds.

Things developed in such a way as to create problems for George.

After the Victorians married into the Noble clan, the successors of the Nobles passed away under mysterious circumstances.

The husbands or wives of the Victorians would become reticent. Whenever people asked about their nuptial nights, they would become depressed, irritable, and angry. They would even break down and sob.

Nobody knew or dared to ask what happened.

It couldn’t be a coincidence if every marriage of the Victorians ended up in the same way.

That meant there were problems with the Victorians.

The Nobles cut off their ties with the Victorians. Even small-scale skirmishes started to occur.

The Knights loyal to the Nobles took their weapons and killed the Victorians.

Then the Victorians exacted their revenge.

Killings and revenge slaughtering kept repeating.

The Nobles who attacked the Victorians ended up in a pathetic state.

The Victorians would flood the Nobles’ territories and kill all subjects who resisted. If the subjects didn’t resist, they would be tied up and brought back to the Victorians’ territories and be assimilated as their own citizens.

Who would believe that the Victorians would capture their enemies to become their citizens? They made the citizens work so that they could levy taxes.

George felt that their behavior couldn’t be condoned.

The reputation of George in the eyes of the Nobles plummeted. He could no longer become a matchmaker.

The nearby Nobles despised the Victorians in the same way they despised flies.

However, the commoners were the ones who suffered.

The Nobles oppressed the commoners to live in luxury.

Though the commoners seldom spoke out, they were disgusted by the behavior of the Nobles.

On the other hand, the Nobles in Victoria City were magnanimous. They levied taxes on the commoners strictly according to the rules.

The taxes they levied weren’t used for them to lead a luxurious lifestyle. The taxes were used to construct infrastructure. If the houses were unsafe or unappealing, they would use the taxes to renovate or even build new houses.

What a great Overseer!
