Today was the first ti in a while that I had a eting with Grand Duke Seyfart regarding the defense system of the royal capital. It was also a good ti to check on the progress of the project I had asked for.
So I went to the castle with only Neurath and Schunzel, and as soon as I entered, I spotted a figure standing in the corridor, waiting for soone. I saw the figure coming straight towards , making Neurath and Schunzel alard.
Its the royal castle, calm down for now. (Welner)
But
I didnt know him or rember him either. He seed to be a warrior by the way he carried himself, and he was tall. If we were walking side by side, I think it would be inevitable that the other one would stand out more. I wondered if it was because he was confident in himself that he was alone and had no guards around him.
The man spoke to in a tone of confirmation rather than a question.
So you are Viscount Welner Von Zeavert?
Yes, but who is this gentleman?
I beg your pardon. I am Anshelm Seigl Yerring.
The Count Yerring, I presu. I beg your pardon.
So this was the new Count Yerring. He looked cold and handso, like a cool-headed character in an ani. He appeared to be about 10 years older than .
I bowed to him anyway, since he was of a higher rank than I was.
Id like to talk to you about sothing.
What is it that you want?
I wondered what he wanted to say for him to even ambush .
Let ask you simply, are you interested in working with ?
What?
What did he an by that? I couldnt help but think about it as I looked at his face. Count Yerring seed rather serious about it.
I would like you to be my right-hand man from now on. At your age, I cannot help but admire your talent and ability.
I think it was not a bad thing that I was so speechless. Or perhaps it would be impossible to live in an aristocratic society if I didnt beco so open-minded.
But then again, would soone scout out after all this ti without thinking twice about it?
I believe you had a connection with the House Coltrezis, sir.
Well, theres no reason for to continue riding in that rotten carriage.
Wow. A rotten carriage ant sothing like a mud boat in this world, but still, he said it, and I have a feeling that even Neurath and Schunzel were mildly taken aback by it.
Are you sure about that?
My house is obviously more important than any faction. Im grateful that they were willing to fund us if we work with them, but their future prospects are clearly poor when they are pushed to this point.
I guess money talks, but not relationships. Or perhaps they have been parasites on the House Coltrezis until now? How straight-forward of him.
I value you Sir Welner. If I have a choice, I would obviously choose soone who has a future.
I understand that point, but
I agree with him on that point, but it was the sa for . I didnt see any future in him.
I an, after leaving House Coltrezis faction, he must have felt the need to create his own faction, right? Thats why he turned his attention to Zeavert, who was part of the Civil Faction.
Im sure you Sir will be very busy after the defeat of the Demon King as the Bain Kingdom may invade other nations.
What do you an?
When the ti cos, with the Hero along with us at the front lines, we will have an overwhelming advantage in any battle against any enemy nation. With my support, you, Sir, can be dispatched to the front lines in any direction you want, so you can gain all the military rits as much as you want.
I was glad Lily was not here. I found myself realizing that my poker face failed, and my gaze tightened against the person who was treating Mazell as a weapon casually.
Count Yerring probably noticed that look of mine, but he just lightly shrugged his shoulders.
Our country is taking such great care of commoner heroes. It is only natural for commoners to work for our country. I think it would be better for your own health if you didnt put yourself too much on the shoulders of the commoners.
Thank you for your advice.
It may be how most nobles in this world think. However, you were trying to equate yourself with the Bain kingdom, werent you? Besides, even if Mazell were to fight after defeating the Demon King, it would not be for your sake, not even for my sake.
In the first place, that way of thinking assud that the Bain kingdom would invade other countries That was it There were sotis such soldiers and politicians even in my past life. There was the theory that since a country was a superpower, it was only natural for other countries to follow them. This happened with the Roman Empire, the Chinese Empire, and even the British Empire. People in power often had this way of thinking.
And even the United States in modern tis failed when they reached out to other countries based on that way of thinking, but sohow, people with this way of thinking tend to pop out in history repeatedly.
