Otome Game Mob Villain Chapter 366

'Sorry for the sudden move here, both of you. Father is a long story when it cos to topics of interest. ......"

David then turned a puzzled look at Frontier Count Glade, who was asking his father a lot of questions.

When I looked closely, I saw that my father also had a slightly troubled look on his face, and I couldn't help but laugh along with Fara, "ahaha ......," and then I turned to the other side of the conversation.

"By the way, I heard that David is close to my age, how old are you now?"

"I am seven years old. I will be eight years old soon."

David responded with a nod and shifted his gaze to the other side of the room.

"By the way, is Fara the sa?"

"Yes, I am. I am seven years old, the sa as Master Rid and David."

When she nodded, he narrowed his eyes happily.

"Then we are all the sa age, aren't we?"

I nodded, and I had a good impression that David and I would get along well together.

Although we have only had a brief exchange since our earlier self-introduction, I don't sense anything underhanded in his words or actions.

I have only had a brief exchange with David since we were introduced earlier, but I don't feel that his words and actions are backhanded, and I can sense from his every gesture that he is respectful to .

Even though our relationship with Drake Kelvin may be a casual one, David and I will be able to maintain a balance between the two families by keeping our friendship strong.

If Drake doesn't want to talk to , he can use David as a contact person.

With this in mind, I smiled and held out my hand.

It's a pleasure to talk to you like this, so if you don't mind, please call 'Rid'."

He looked a little surprised, but nodded and imdiately took my hand.

Then, please call 'David' as well. Also, you can be as friendly in your speech as you like."

"I understand. David, it's nice to et you again."

"David, nice to et you again."

After that, the three of us talked about the differences in our respective territories.

One of the surprising things in the conversation was the treatnt of illegal immigrants from Toga, a church country adjacent to Kelvin's territory.

And the fact that provocative behavior on the Togan side continues unabated, and that the Count of Glade Frontier and Lord Drake are having a hard ti with it.

The Bardia territory is also a frontier region adjacent to the three countries of Barsto, the beast nation of Zubera, and Renalute.

However, Renalute is an ally, and Balusto and Zubera do not seem to have any interest in a dispute with the empire due to the difference in national power.

Of course, there is a crackdown on illegal immigrants, criminal organizations, and agents from other countries.

However, the "Church of God's Kingdom of Toga" is a great power, not inferior to the "Magnolia Empire" in terms of national strength.

If such a country were to provoke them frequently, the Kelvin territory would be unbearable.

In addition, it is said that they have started to downsize their clocks in order to make their military activities more efficient.

"I guess the situation changes considerably when the neighboring countries are different, even in the sa 'frontier'."

"Yes, I think so. Well, according to my father, the provocations of the togas are not serious, but are more of a 'reconnaissance'."

I see. ......" I was hamring away at David's words and glancing sideways at my father and the others.

As far as he is concerned, it makes sense that Count Glade was very interested in the "pocket watch" that he presented in the audience chamber.

But at the sa ti, I was a little concerned.

Returning his gaze, he turned the conversation around again

"By the way, your brother, Drake,......, doesn't seem to have a very good impression of the Bardia family, is sothing wrong?"

In the audience hall, Count Glade's behavior was still acceptable, but Drake's mannerisms were overbearing and a bit hostile in so respects.

Of course, there may have been the fact that he was ahead of in the developnt of the pocket watch.

But even so, his words and actions were a bit too much.

Even if we were to keep our relationship with Drake a clerical one, we should check the cause of the problem.

It's hard to ask the Count of Grayedd Frontier, but he might be able to tell .

Then David chuckled, "Haha .......

"There was never a problem in the ...... Kelvin and Bardia families. But do you know what both families are known as among the nobility?"

"Well, I believe that the House of Bardia is regarded as the sword of the empire, and the House of Kelvin as the shield of the empire, is that right?

"Yes, that is correct."

"Brother Drake seems to think that 'the House of Kelvin, which crosses swords with the Togas, a great power on par with the Empire, is the one that should be regarded as the sword.

I asked him to raise his head in a hurry because of his unexpected words and actions.

"No, no, no,　I'm sorry that we didn't know that there was such a situation here either."

But, well, .......

I am not convinced that the House of Bardia is described as a sword in Lord Drake's mind.

Therefore, I guess it ans that he has said and done things in the audience chamber that make him look at us as an enemy.

It may seem like a ...... thing to do, but nobles place a lot of importance on appearances and pride.

Especially for Drake, the eldest son, who would be proud of the Kelvin family in their duties of protecting the empire, David's comnt about "being at the Imperial Academy" may have been quite humiliating.

From that point of view, it's not hard to understand why he doesn't think well of us. ......

However, that doesn't excuse that behavior, though.

But from what he said, it may be difficult to have more than a clerical relationship with Lord Drake in the future.

If that is the case, we should still build a friendship with David as a contact point for the Kelvin family for the future.

After that, as I continued chatting with him after he raised his head, Farah suddenly asked a question.

......I was thinking of that, David's na is similar to Crown Prince David's, isn't it?

Fara then asked him, "Well, if you ask , it is indeed true."

Soon after, David's complexion darkened and he let out a small sigh, "huh ......."
