(virtual world , Purplehaze city , the royal palce) 

Back in the virtual world , Rudra , Karna and the other elders were all present at the Royal palace , today was the day that they would be conferred the management rights of the city! 

In a court full of court officials , Rudra stood in the middle , surrounded by other winners of major cities , all of them called here today to be conferred their official management rights , by the king. 

The court official said " The great eminence , the sun of the kingdom , the mighty , the kind , the merciful , emperor of Hazelgroove kingdom , Emperor Aman , had sent a decree to call on adventurers for help against the beast tide and for those who performed exemplarily well , promised a reward of managing rights to the city they protected , hence today , here , at the royal court of Hazelgroove kingdom , the Emperor will stay true to his word , come forward as your names have been called , and you shall be conferred your title as Mayor's of your respective city , and your guild will be given the administration authority ". 

First " Machoboy from the guild DizzyShip has been conferred the title of Mayor of nighttown". 

" Konan from the guild paperbags , has been conferred the title of Mayor of HiddenMist Village ". 

.

.

" AND LASTLY THE CAPITAL CITY OF PURPLEHAZE .... Shakuni of the True Elites , you have been conferred the title of Mayor of Purplehaze city! For your merit for the kingdom , come and hand over your merit token to encash on the 100,000 points ". 

Rudra bowed slightly towards Aman, as he said " I'm sorry my Emperor , a foolish guildmate has lost the token , I will be unable to encash the token ". 

The courtier immediately frowned , he said " How irresponsible , are you even capable of of managing Purplehaze City? ". 

The courtier had said this statement at the wrong place at the wrong time , as when this remark was made , Patricia rose from her seat , and unleashed her killing intnent towards the courtier. 

Aman who was silently watching the situation , understood that Rudra's excuse about loosing the token was bull**** , he had probably understood the real worth of the token and decided to keep it for himself , the token was overall not as valuable as the ties with the Won knight family , he also had a bone dragon under him now , hence he did not need the token per se. 

Aman shouted " IMPUDENT ". As a small flick of his finger brought the courtier to his knees. 

" Mercy my lord , mercy " the courtier shouted , terrified of the development. 

" Aman looked squarely at the man and said , Know your place , Baron ! ".

The man peed himself under pressure , as a small pool of slightly yellow liquid surrounded the place where he was. 

Aman continued " even without the token , your guild is rightfully the number one contributor , hence I will let this matter slide here , the court is concluded". 

Everyone bowed as the court was concluded and Aman left his throne to leave the room. Only after Aman had left did the others start to leave. 

Rudra looked at Patricia as a thankful expression came on his face , he never had a elder sibling , but looking at Patricia he felt , like maybe this is what the protection of elder siblings felt like.

He was not a won knight only in name anymore , for Patricia he would wage any war necessary. 

Patricia rolled her eyes when he saw Rudra's puppy face , she said " Arra arra , act with the dignity of a mayor now , you kept the family name afloat , did soo well In the beast tide , even Gimli only has high praise for you , be proud little brother ! You've done well , and I hope you keep it up and make this city a better place ! ". 

Saying soo she took her leave , the only people left in the courtroom , were the courtier in his own piss and the Elites , who were waiting for Rudra to leave with them. 

The courtier tried to talk to Rudra , as he said " I...I...". 

But Karna cut him off as he pinched his nose and said " U stink like piss ".

Saying so he grabbed Rudra and went out of the royal palace. 

The guild members stopped for a while outside the royal palace , as the high view sprawled across the entire city. 

Rudra sunk the scenery in , after a year this place would be soo much more developed! 

He felt nostalgic , and proud at what he was able to achieve . 

He looked at his other companions and proudly declared " This is our city now ! , The city of the Elites ! ". 

Fatty Kalash got the vibe as he shouted " WOOOOO , PURPLEHAZE CITYYYYYY , YOU HAVE A NEW DUMB MAYOR IN TOWN ". 

He said and punched Rudra in the gut , Rudra chuckled , as he looked for the last time at the scenery , determination in his eyes , the next one year would be defining for this city and its people. 

Today would be the day where he would officialy take his seat as mayor of Purplehaze city!

With him long have hired the professors from various great universities , the laws for the city and the administration structure had long been finalized. 

What construction plans to undertake , how to increase public security , how to create a strong military , every plan was ready , only the execution was left now. 

Rudra was pumped , he may loose guild money to sustain grown and development of the city for the first six months , but now that there were no emminent wars to fight , he knew it was the golden time to do so. 

Going in the mayor's office inside the inner district , a grand building being temporarily guarded by the royal guards. Rudra took his seat at the mayor's table. 

Then , in what would become a daily routine for him later , he said , Open city stats panel .....

/// Today will be a 3 chapter day , as two golden ticket bonuses are due. Great job the golden ticket department.
