Thanks to his screaming, the people around him were startled when they noticed , and they all stood up and assud a cautionary posture.
So of the soldiers looked frightened.
At this point, isn't the lord himself almost a disaster?
Well, the important thing now is the commander.
I walked over to the building in the middle of the barracks, the command center of the army.
It was also the place where the soldier from earlier had run into.
"Hey, what's with all the excitent?"
"It's....The...lord is here!"
The commander and captains also gathered to play poker.
The amount of money at stake here is far greater than at the gambling tables outside.
Since the commander is like this, the soldiers are also indulging in gambling in the morning.
There really is no future for them.
"His Excellency has arrived? Ha! Sir!"
When the commanding officer noticed , he pushed past the soldiers and ran up to .
The soldiers who had been gambling with him also stood up and straightened their posture when they saw .
His Excellency is a term of endearnt for nobles, but commoners were not to use this term at all, except in rare cases when they are attempting brownnosing.
This term was primarily used among the nobility from dukes to counts but none lesser so, to put those lesser nobles in their place, showing they were not much better than re commoners.
Commoners called lord and could not call your Excellency.
Julius Aquitania is a low-ranking nobleman with a fiefdom.
Yes, I was a Viscount now.
And as a military commander, he's also a nobleman, of course, a lower nobleman, probably a baron and a vassal of the Aquitanian family.

I checked the information.
Turns out I was right, he was incompetence itself.
Even though he was a commander, his martial force was lower than that of a soldier.
He beca a commander because he was a nobleman.
However, even if he employed an incompetent nobleman as a vassal, how could he let such a person command the army?
Even if Julius is incompetent, this is terrible.
"What can I do for you this morning? Heh."
When Burke walked up to , he rubbed his palms together and started laughing.
It seed Julius had appointed him as his commander out of familiarity.
He didn't care if he wreaked havoc on the army, but he cared for his close vassals.
And the fact that he was close to Julius.
Needless to say, it was proof that he's scum.
"Is the outside gambling under your supervision?"
"Yes, of course, since His Excellency allowed it. Anyone who gambles is obligated to pay a gambling tax. Hahahaha."
A tax on gambling?
Ridiculous.
I shook my head and whispered in the head chamberlain's ear.
"Landers."
"Yes, my lord."
"Has he been in command of the army all these years?"
"No. The last lord your father had a different one..."
"But I replaced him with this man?"
"Yes. Well, yes, sir."
So that's what this is about.
The forr lord, in other words, Julius's father died of illness a few years ago.
Julius has only been in office for a short ti and even then he was only 14 when he rose to the position of lord, ruling a territory when you aren't yet an adult till your 16...
As soon as his father, who had been guiding him, died, he beca like a fish out of water, doing all kinds of evil deeds completely out of control.
"So, where is the forr commander now?"
"...Yes?"
"I'm asking where is the forr commander?"
If Julius had replaced him, he would at least be better than the man in front of him.
It's an immutable truth that tyrants try to keep their loyal subjects away from them, right?
"Baron Haddin is locked up in a prison cell."
"Oh, I see."
Luckily, he doesn't seem to be dead.
Because he's a nobleman?
Well, that was good.
It's not easy to find a suitable commander in one day, but it's different when I have a strong candidate.
Of course, I have to examine the candidate carefully before I decide.
So returning to the issue at hand.
"I see. So you're the one who made them gamble during training hours?"
"Yes, I did, didn't I?"
I don't think he heard the whispering between and the head chamberlain, but he noticed that the atmosphere was suspicious and he looked at strangely.
"Throw Commander Burke in jail imdiately! He's guilty of disturbing the discipline of the army!"
Right in front of him, I gave him a stern order.
Burke jumped in surprise.
"No, sir! What do you an? I'm Baron Gordon! Baron Gordon! You cannot arrest "
So what do you want to do? There was no need to answer.
He was a man who was not worth dealing with anymore.
