So I'm a sheep.

The giant roared wildly and pounded his head.

But this frenzy came and went quickly; in no time, the giant could no longer lift his hand.

It wasn't until the Special Titan crashed to the ground that people in the distance realized—

Just now, a powerful human warrior—no, a human hero—fought a great battle against a Special Titan and successfully killed it!

"cough cough"

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, the girl stepped on the giant's head, and the pristine lake light sprang out and was grasped in her hand.

"I cut down the bean tree that connects to the land of giants and killed the last special giant that descended."

Sasha burst into laughter: "From this day forward, I am the kingdom's great hero!!!"

........................................

Despite not being fully recovered, Camilla forced herself to get out of bed and keep her promise.

"Your Excellency Saliye, you saved Danlu City and the Marquisate from the giants."

Camilla was deeply grateful and offered to repay him with a medium-sized town.

Oh, I've gained a town! Now I'm a lord!

Sasha thanked her cheerfully, then asked, "Your Excellency, am I now a baron or a viscount?"

"The conferment of titles of nobility must be approved by His Majesty."

Camilla smiled and looked at Pepin: "Theoretically, he is a baron, but if the Lord Mayor is willing to put in a good word for him with His Majesty, his title may be raised."

Actually, the title of Baron is just right, but Viscount is definitely an inflated one.

A high rank paired with a small fief is actually not a good thing!

But Sasha didn't care about that. A viscount was more prestigious than a baron, so she definitely wanted to be a viscount.

"Lord Palace Prime Minister..."

The girl looked longingly at Pepin, and with a heavy heart, she took out a wooden box.

"Please, this is just a small token of my appreciation."

Inside were jewelry given by Camilla, plus Pepin's gift (a large gemstone), which constituted all of Sasa's possessions.

You can't just ask someone for a favor; you have to offer something in return!

This is a principle that even a country bumpkin like me understands.

Pepin was both amused and exasperated. Who gives gifts in public like that? It would sound terrible if word got out!

However, after thinking it over, the Prime Minister decided to accept it without hesitation.

He wasn't after the little trinket, but he wanted to build a good relationship with the girl.

"Hahaha, Lady Saliye is truly a remarkable person."

Pepin stroked his beard and said, "Rest assured, I will do my best."

...................................................

After Sasha, the second person to receive an award was Maureen.

"Lady Maureen, if you hadn't shot down that terrifying special giant with an arrow last time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Camilla expressed her gratitude and then offered four villages in return.

"Lady Camilla Rees, thank you for your kindness."

"But as the heir to the Field family, I may not have enough energy to manage these villages in the future."

Maureen pointed at Sasha: "I have a very close friendship with Lady Saliye and would like to give her four villages!"

The Field family is also a renowned marquis family in the kingdom, but even a marquis family would not complain about having too much territory.

Maureen's act of giving away four villages at once is truly a grand gesture and demonstrates great courage!

Sasha was stunned, feeling as if she had been hit by a huge pie.

"Don't just keep laughing, quickly show that you remember the Field family's friendship!" Ankang reminded him.

"My friend, may our friendship last forever!"

Sasha gave Maureen a hug and whispered in her ear, "I will remember the Fields' kindness."

Maureen nodded with a smile, thinking that although the girl came from a humble background, she was quite sensible.

"Haha, that's quite a story!"

Pepin led the applause, and the hall erupted in applause.

Many warriors' gazes toward Sasha also changed. They pondered that they might not become fief nobles, but joining a newly appointed baron/viscount fief was not a bad idea.

Normally, when faced with a choice between a marquis and a baron/viscount, people would definitely prefer to side with the former.

The problem is that Sasha is just starting out, so she definitely needs more people, while Camilla or Maureen certainly don't need any!

Thinking about it this way, following Sasha actually offers a brighter future.

............................................

After staying at the Marquis's mansion for more than a month, the girl finally received good news.

Pepin truly lived up to his reputation as a favorite of His Majesty the King; with just a few words, he got things done perfectly!

"Your Excellency, congratulations."

"Congratulations, Your Excellency Viscount! A hundred years from now, the kingdom will have another noble surname!"

According to the tradition of the Kingdom of Carlos, once the first Viscount Sasha passes away, her descendants can add the surname 'Saliye' to their names.

This is an honor reserved only for the founders of the family—a name that will be remembered for eternity!

"Oh no, now my older sister is going to start pressuring me to get married again."

Sasha was both happy and troubled. After bidding farewell to Camilla, she led nine warriors to her territory.

Yes, nine warriors.

In fact, only six people initially made it clear that they wanted to join Sasha's side. However, after Pepin delivered the promised rewards, three more people decided to join the Viscount's side.

The main problem was that all previous illusions were shattered; there were no nominal ranks, and even the gold coins brought by the knights were not much.

Forget about being an aristocrat, he hasn't even become a millionaire yet!

While cursing Pepin in their hearts, three more warriors decided to cling to Sasha's coattails.

'My friend, these people have absolutely no loyalty whatsoever.'

The girl nodded slightly. Of course she knew what An Kang had reminded her of, but now was a time when they were short of people, so how could she be picky?

"Once we arrive in the territory, we should first meet with the village chiefs and town mayors, show them the documents, and finalize their titles as soon as possible."

"Then, I plan to have you form a security team."

As Sasha rode her horse, she loudly promised, "Keep your spirits up and do a good job! Being a sheriff is just the beginning!"

...............................................

Upon arriving in her territory, after the town and village chiefs had reviewed the documents, the town and four villages obediently accepted the girl's rule.

Sasha noticed that these people seemed quite happy, and upon asking them more closely, she learned that it was because her fame had spread far and wide.

Although the giants were all trapped in Danlu City, the only one who escaped was killed by Sasha.

However, the rumors of 'cannibalistic trolls' never stopped, and everyone was terrified.

Finally, two heroes emerged and resolved the disaster.

Now that one of the heroes, 'The Lumberjack' Saliye, has come to their side as their lord, everyone feels very safe.

"..."

Sasha is naturally very proud that she can make her people feel safe.

But what the heck are lumberjacks?

Maureen is known as the Giant Hunter, how impressive!

Why did I become a lumberjack, a giant slayer, or an invincible swordsman?

'Sounds like a woodcutter...'

Sasha was helpless, but her title as a lumberjack had become deeply ingrained in people's minds. Unless she did something earth-shattering in the future, this title would stay with her for the rest of her life.

'Never mind, let's get down to business first.'

Clearing her throat, the girl smiled and said, "Gentlemen, this is no longer the Marquis's territory, but my territory, Saliye's territory."

"Some things can remain unchanged, but some things must change!"

Upon hearing this, the town mayor looked uneasy, and several village chiefs broke out in a cold sweat.

"Tax revenue remains unchanged"

A faint sound of relief could be heard, but Sasha ignored it and continued, "The town's patrol team will be disbanded immediately, and I have carefully selected nine capable sheriffs for everyone."

"Let's give them a round of applause!"

The four village chiefs were the first to applaud, while the town mayor, a beat slower, also clapped in agreement.

"Although I am a lord, I will not interfere in everything."

The young woman reassured them, saying, "This newly established viscountry will have to rely on you all!"

This time, the applause became even more enthusiastic.

...................................................

"Miss Lachesis, please give my regards to Teacher Aman."

After escorting the girl home, Green Alec politely bowed and left.

Lachesis opened the door and immediately saw a grinning Aman.

"That kid brought you back again today?"

"kindness"
