I will be on a business trip, so there won't be a chapter tomorrow.
It was a chance encounter, but since it was such a rare opportunity, Frea-san and Eingana-san ended up joining our table. Cornelia-san and I shifted our seats to sit side by side, while Frea-san and Eingana-san sat across from us.
Since the other party consisted of the Six Kings’ Executives, Cornelia-san seed quite tense, so I resolved to properly support her in the conversation.
As I was thinking that, Frea-san looked at Cornelia-san with a sowhat nostalgic expression and murmured:
[……Even so, Cornelia Sharon huh……. That’s a nostalgic na.]
[Eh? Frea-san, you know Cornelia-san?]
[No, not her. Several hundred years ago, the head of the Sharon County bore the sa na. This is just my guess, but Cornelia-dono’s na may have been taken from hers.]
[You are correct. My na was given in honor of the sixth head of House Sharon, Cornelia Sharon, who is regarded as the family’s restorer.]
[I thought as much. She was a magnificent woman, overflowing with ambition.]
Apparently, a past head of the Sharon household shared the sa na as Cornelia-san. Certainly, it’s not unusual to na soone after a distinguished ancestor, and given that, the way she was nad wasn’t strange at all.
Still, the fact that Frea-san clearly rembered the na ant she must have been quite the figure. As if sensing my doubt, Cornelia-san turned toward and explained:
[To explain for Kaito-sama, the sixth head was a person with an exceptionally strong rchant’s spirit, and it would be fair to say she laid the foundation for what House Sharon is today. The special system in this trade city that I ntioned on the way here, that too was established by her.]
[I see, so she was an incredible person?]
[Yes. At the ti, the Sharon household was a declining Viscounty, but she elevated it to a Count’s rank. Among all the heads of the family, she is arguably the most famous.]
The innovative policies I had heard about on the way here were apparently her doing as well. It seed she was a remarkable person who had achieved enough rit to raise the house from viscount to count.
Perhaps she had even been the one to establish the Sharon Trading Company.
[A person overflowing with passion and ambition. Despite being the head of a noble household, she personally traveled throughout the Demon Realm, establishing all kinds of business deals. She was soone I personally found admirable. Even giddo-sama was fond of her, to the point of saying “Among the Archlesia Empire’s nobles, she is the one I like best.”]
[giddo-san really doesn’t like nobles all that much, huh? Though they seed to be very fond of Lilia-san……]
[Yes, the sort of backroom scheming nobles do is one of the things giddo-sama hates most. They may not have liked her as much as he does Lilia-dono, but it is certain that they held her in high regard.]
giddo-san dislikes underhanded scheming done behind the scenes, and when it cos to nobles, she generally doesn’t think highly of them. But that doesn’t an she hates all nobles.
She likes Lilia-san so much that she even said if she weren’t the head of a noble household, she would have wanted her as a subordinate. And when I ntioned Eris-san briefly before, she comnted that “the Hamilton Marquisdom is one of the better ones among Archlesia Empire’s nobles”, which suggested she held a certain degree of respect for them as well.
Well, as long as the head is skilled in martial arts, or has the enthusiasm to take on new challenges, she seems to approve of them. Since both Frea-san and giddo-san liked that sixth head of the Sharon household, she must have been a passionate and ambitious woman.
[Then, if giddo-san were to et Cornelia-san, they might notice, just like Frea-san did, that they share the sa na.]
[Hyiih…… U- Umm, would that be alright? My personality is quite different from the sixth head’s……]
[If you are a friend of my comrade, you shouldn't be in any problem.]
[As long as you are a friend of Miyama Kaito-san, I don’t think there’s any need to worry.]
Cornelia-san looked uneasy, fearing that if giddo-san saw soone with the sa na as a person she respected, she might think her existence was sohow tarnishing that na, but both Frea-san and Eingana-san imdiately reassured her in unison that it was no issue.
[Errr…… is that so?]
[Umu. When it cos to soone like the aforentioned Cornelia Sharon or Lilia-dono, compared to them, giddo-sama’s fondness for my comrade is on a whole different level. So long as you are a friend of my comrade, there is absolutely no problem. After all, giddo-sama is always in high spirits when my comrade is around.]
[In fact, not long ago when I spoke with giddo-sama, they even showed interest in Lady Eris Dia Hamilton, whom Miyama Kaito-san holds in high regard. They said they would like to speak with her soti.]
[……Truly, Kaito-sama’s influence is overwhelming.]
So, for giddo-san, if soone is my friend, then even if they’re a noble, there’s no issue at all…… aning if there were ever an opportunity, it wouldn’t be a problem to introduce her to soone like Eris-san. Not that I have any actual plans to do that……
Serious-senpai : [Did you catch that? Just like that, a stomachache flag got set up for Eris……]
