As I was thinking this inwardly, my father called out to and I stopped thinking for a mont.
“Do you understand the situation?” (Ingo)
“I am assuming that Coltrezis House will not be able to remain as it is.” (Welner)
“What else?” (Ingo)
“Other than that, I am expecting that this is a good opportunity for the kingdom to recruit the knights and civil servants of the noble families that were to receive punishnt, right?” (Welner)
“That’s right.” (Ingo)
So of the noble families that would be promoted may not have enough local information on their new assignnt, while others may not have the manpower to start things moving forward. Governnt would need to recruit as many people as possible to proceed with the reforms of the country.
From the point of view of soone who once lost the house they served, they could not throw away the opportunity for a new job, but that didn’t an the kingdom could recruit just anyone, after all, it would depend on their work profile from their previous positions. Let’s see…
“Is working with one of the evaluation criteria?” (Welner)
“I see, you understood that as well.” (Ingo)
“I suppose the evaluation criterion would be if they insult for working here despite my young age or just try to flatter thinking they might get easily hired if they did so.”
This solved the mystery as to why so many new recruits approached for help. Their superior probably directed them to approach for help to see their reactions.
I guess that was also one of the reasons why my rank remained as a viscount, wasn’t it? After all, it was weird that my rank didn’t go up even after contributing so much to the country as well as having so many achievents.
I doubt that the country would limit my rewards just because I was a young man, but this was probably their aim for to beco so kind of test for every other noble while also giving financial rewards and a new position to not disappoint .
“You’re aware of what His Majesty has said.” (Ingo)
“Is that about addressing as ‘Zeavert’ only instead of attaching the rank of our territory?” (Welner)
The point in that conversation was that there I was not addressed as part of the “count”, which would not be strange if one would only speak of it in a superficial way. But being addressed by Royalty, there was definitely a aning in not addressing as part of the “count”.
His Majesty and the Crown Prince have also started training and organizing new staff and bureaucratic corps to carry out dostic reforms. Zeavert House was one of the leading candidates. In other words, there must be plans to raise father’s rank to Marquis, perhaps to make him a mber of the leading aristocracy supporting the reform.
(T/N: Although Welner’s father is Minister of Ceremony, which doesn’t sound impressive, it is basically a post just below Pri Minister. Him becoming Marquis would increase his already high political power to another level. Another thing is that Welner would inherit Marquis rank in future so him not getting higher rank now is irrelevant in the Royal family’s opinion.)
“I guess it will be after so of the cleanup is done.” (Welner)
“I also can’t say when it will happen.” (Ingo)
“I see.” (Welner)
Thinking about it, there was an upcoming party hosted by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Louwen, it occurred to that all the changes would be applied by that ti and would be well received. If we were to coincide completing our work with that event, then we would not have much ti to spare.
The departure to the fiefdom of Coltrezis House may be sooner than I had imagined, and that’s why I’ve been assigned the half-hearted role of helping father out. Huh…
“I’ll leave the preparations for the departure to the fiefdom of Coltrezis House to Max. Until then, please continue to help out.” (Ingo)
“Yes.” (Welner)
“I’m counting on you.” (Ingo)
Oh, it was rare to hear such a statent from my father. With that in mind, I went back to my room, but after a while, I began to feel strange like I made so kind of mistake.
“Um, Welner-sama?” (Lily)
“Is sothing wrong?” (Frenssen)
Lily, who was studying at the Count’s mansion today instead of the royal palace, and Frenssen, who was putting together the internal office docunts of the Order, seed to be concerned, but he didn’t say anything.
After so thought, I realized what mistake I made. In the end, I sighed and called out to Lily, “Sorry, Lily, can you please get a cup of tea?”
“Yes, right away.” (Lily)
Another sigh escaped my mouth as Lily exited.
Frenssen turned to look at and asked, “What happened?”
“You know, sotis talking too much is a bad thing…” (Welner)
“Huh.” (Frenssen)
Yeah, I screwed up. My father’s questioning was clearly a test of mine. And judging from his reaction, I passed it, which ant I would be offered a place on the political reform team, no matter what I said.
If I had made so mistake, I could have returned to being a student or at least stopped from falling deeper into this rabbit hole, but I feel like I ruined that chance myself.
“It seems like I screwed up.” (Welner)
After explaining the situation, Frenssen’s reaction was to complain, but to no avail. Even Lily, who made a cup of tea, looked annoyed. I’d rather just relax.
I took a sip, let out a big sigh, and then turned my attention to Lily.
“By the way, Lily, I’m sorry, but I need you to draw sothing for . And Frenssen, please arrange it.” (Welner)
“Yes.” (Frenssen)
“Yes, what is it?” (Lily)
Let’s just do what we have to do. Yeah, I’ll do what I have to do.
