Chapter 162
CHAPTER 162 – THE STRONGEST ALLY
After that guy from Aegina left, I entered the room where Delfina is .
The instant I entered the room, I felt sothing is wrong and stopped .
「Is there sothing wrong?」
「Isn’t this room a little strange? I feel sothing’s wrong」
「That is」
Delfina smiled elegantly .
「It is because it is a room made so that I would be looked down on」
「Looked down?」
「The layout, furnishings, decoration, and arrangent . This is a room that is architecturally and magically built so that I would be looked down upon . It is a room needed to entertain guests that need that」
「Sothing like that exists?」
「Making the custor thoroughly flattered, that makes the business deals go well right?」
「He〜 . You’re doing a lot of things huh . 「But……」
I gave Delfina a deep look .
I felt sothing strange about the room, but if soone would ask if I could see Delfina differently, that’s not true at all .
She looks just as usual .
「It does not have an effect with Kakeru-sama」
「Is that so?」
「Rather, I am making myself seem bigger in Kakeru-sama’s company」
「It’s built quite intricately」
「With just this room, it costs ten tis that of Kakeru-sama’s mansion」
「So expensive!」
As expected of a wealthy rchant who has assets equal to that of a kingdom . The things she does isn’t ordinary . Like paying ten tis the price of a mansion just for one room .
I sat in front of that Delfina .
「How’s Malonei doing?」
「Since then, the riots have disappeared, and it almost returned to normal . From how the situation seems, it looks like His Highness Kimon was the culprit after all」
「I see, good then」
「Though, right now, I don’t really care about this town anymore」
「Fu〜n?」
What does she an by that?
「Rather than that, there are several interesting movents . Within the Aegina Kingdom that is」
「For example?」
「First, it was announced that His Highness Kimon fell ill . At the sa ti, the renouncent of the Pri Minister Prince」
「Fell ill? He’s already dead though」
「It was announced ostensibly . They are probably planning to announce that he passed away at a right ti later」
「He〜」
「Within that, the one who’s making interesting actions is the lord of that person from earlier . The First Princess, Selene Mi Aegina」
「I wanted to hear about that . That person, didn’t she have a weird post title? On top of that, she got promoted(?) too」
「What did the envoy that visited His Excellency the Viscount said?」
Delfina also guessed that I also ca here because of my new noble title huh .
「It was Stable Leader」
「Just a while ago, it was Stable Manager . And today, it’s Martial Warrant Officer」
「Stable Manager……below the Stable Leader huh」
「Yes, one rank below」
「Is she really……getting promoted?」
「About that . It is conceivable that her goal is to beco Pri Minister Prince(ss) . However, although she’s a princess, only the king can appoint soone from no rank to the highest rank . On the other hand, it is possible even for a princess if she promotes herself one step at a ti . aningーー」
「Ahh, you an it’s a loophole in the system huh」
「As expected of Kakeru-sama, that is exactly right」
It was like that huh .
「However, that might be difficult as well」
「Why?」
「I do not know if it is her own shallow thinkingーー」
Delfina, she clearly said it’s shallow thinking .
「ーーor the person who suggested it was really a fool, after a certain line, military exploits are needed to get promoted in the Aegina Kingdom」
「Military exploits……you an rits from war」
「Yes, that’s why, she would probably get stuck at so point」
「It’s like that huh」
I thought that sothing very interesting is happening, but with that talk right now, it’s a letdown .
I got a little disappointed .
「That is whyーー」
The door was knocked . A woman entered the room .
It’s a familiar face . It’s the glasses woman that’s a subordinate of Delfina .
「Delfina-sama, we received ssage from the Aegina Kingdom」
「ssage?」
「They said that they would dispatch soldiers to subjugate the band of thieves “Red Beak Gang” whose headquarters lay near Malonei’s outskirts」
「Reply to them saying I understood」
「Yes . Also……there is one point of concern」
「What?」
「The subjugation army will be lead by the Flying Hawk General, Issigonis……but, uhm, in the campaign……」
「Is soone else coming?」
「……Selene huh」
When I said that, Delfina realized as well, and the glasses woman silently nodded .
「There is information about the First Princess, Her Highness the Martial Lieutenant, Selene Mi Aegina would accompany them」
「She got promoted again . She’s walking straight towards the success road」
It sowhat sounded interesting . Selene sounds interesting, getting “promoted” although she’s a princess .
The glasses woman left after finishing her report, and Delfina and I were left alone again .
「It looks like she knows that she needs military exploits」
「That seems to be the case . However, just subjugation of bandits will not be enough at all」
「A huge war or achievents that are equal to that are needed . For example, fighting against Kakeru-sama and rescuing His Highness Kimon」
「……he〜 . That’s good enough huh」
「Kakeru-sama, are you planning sothing?」
「How did you know?」
「Anyone could guess if they could see that bad face . What are you planning to do?」
I grinned and stood up .
「It sounds interesting, so I’ll help her get promoted」
I said that and warped away .
☆
Let alone in that room, Delfina made a faint wry smile .
「It looks like preparations to get on the side of the “next” Pri Minister Prince(ss) is needed」
She whispered to herself .
