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!
