Return to Ashtaroth Castle
And so I departed Decarbia Castle, leaving the reliable demon officials and human rcenaries.
My main base was Ashtaroth Castle. And while Gottlieb was taking care of it now, I couldnt stay away from it forever.
As we traveled up the road leading to the town, my beautiful castle ca into view.
The old Eligos castle was to the north, and the old Decarbia castle was to the south. This ant that I just need to capture the east and west lands to make Ashtaroth Castle safe.
Of course, none of that would be easy. Besides, I had Demon King Zagam to deal with now.
But before I faced him, I wanted to improve dostic affairs and gather so information.
And so I called Fuma Kotaro and stretched in my office chair as I waited for his arrival.
I had been gone from this castle for so long.
We traveled far and fought battles. I was tired.
I thought relaxing in this old familiar chair would help take away so of the fatigue. But there was sothing missing. Sothing was wrong.
There was sothing that could not be separated from relaxing in this chair.
But what could it be?
As I mused over this, Eve ca in with the answer.
She was pushing a silver cart with a tray of scones and so tea. Then she smiled angelically and poured a cup.
Yes, this fragrance.
My office was always filled with the sll of black tea.
I would always drink the wonderful tea that my maid had poured, and ease my mind every day.
As I had not taken her with during our visit to Kongming, I had not had this tea in a very long ti.
At this point, it wasnt so much a luxury for , but a necessity like air or water. I could not live without it.
In fact, the pretty lady that accompanied us put on so tea for once, even though I was careful not to ask. She didnt asure the amount of tea leaves or steam them, nor did she care about temperature. Also, she used hard water instead of soft water. So it was very awful.
To preserve her honor, I will just call her Saint J. She was an expert with the sword and lower than a novice when it ca to tea.
And so I made my own tea when on the road. And it was very decent compared to Jeannes attempts.
I was reminded of just how important Eve was, and it was she who now addressed .
Master. Lord Gottlieb has managed this castle very admirably in your absence. However, there is one problem.
A problem?
I asked. Eve nodded.
Apparently, a fight broke out in town while you were away. And so are not happy with how it was judged.
I see. What kind of fight was this?
I will explain it to you.
And so Eve proudly related it to .
Gottlieb was the dwarven chief who supported from behind while I went out to fight Demon King Decarbia.
He had sent out many monsters and humans from this castle after training them.
These reinforcents were a great help, and Decarbia Castle fell. However, the soldiers were not happy with the way they were rewarded based on their achievents and rit.
Gottlieb had deed that the werewolf corp was only second-best when they had seemingly done the most.
I see. And who got the highest credit?
That is the problem
Eve looked surprisingly calm as she continued.
