Volu 6 Chapter 4
Translator: HASUTSUKI, Editor: Chaz
Well alright, enough about that So, the reason you co here is not about Elda right?
Breaking a heavy silence, Roberto finally cuts to the subject.
T/his chapter is updat/d by nv((l)biin.c/o/m
Roberto, you know about it?
Isnt that obvious?Being part of the defeated army yet I receive this kind of treatnt Isnt that natural for to at least realize that?
However, hearing Roberto words, Signizs face looked doubtful.
Whats wrong with that face. Youdid you think I was that stupid!?!
Well, it is you after all Theres a possibility you didnt realize it.
You sure have the gall to say such bad things to your longti friend.
Roberto scowled at Signiz while saying that.
The two people then stared at each other.
And then, they laughed out loud.
No one knew how much ti had passed.
Before long, Signiz erased the smile on his face and looked at Roberto.
Well, all joking aside If you know that much then good enough. My lord wanted your power. Lend him your power, Roberto. I think you should not let your ability get buried in this rural area or are you seriously willing to bury your bones for the northern frontier like this?
Dont you think you want to try your ability abroad?
Saying that Signiz showed his usual cool-headedness.
His thoughts hidden from his surroundings and his close friend up until now, Signiz was finally able to say what he wanted.
However, in his words one thing should be noticed.
The mont he heard that word, Robertos eyes sharply shone.
My lord, is it?
Yes
Signiz affird Robertos question.
In his word, one could feel deep respect.
It might be only a way of calling soone, but it showed how serious Signiz was.
(I cant believe it, in just a few days, he could get Signiz this far)
The man nad Signiz Garbera that Roberto knew, was a man that never showed his desire much.
And this was not sothing superficial either.
Judging from how both n talk and behaved, Signiz would be much more friendly than Roberto.
Many people would often ti think Signiz as a submissive person compared to Roberto and Signiz also played along with it.
However, all of that was just a fa?ade to hide his true nature.
That was because it ant life or death for him to show dissatisfaction and ambition in front of his relatives.
Those who knew about Signiz true nature would be Roberto and his adoptive parent, Elda.
Even Signiz didnt show his nature to Earl Salzberg.
Or rather, even for Roberto who was his best friend, he never heard Signizs aspiration in life from his own mouth. -
It was then that Roberto realized a certain thing.
I see You
Understanding what Roberto was about to say, Signiz lifted the bottle to his mouth, laughed and drank so more alcohol.
Haha, as youve expected. Presently, Ive inherited the Garbera household.
In other words, the fourth son, born of a commoner woman, pushed aside his brothers and inherited the family.
For sothing like that to happen, it was sothing unthinkable for the aristocrats in this world.
Regardless of ability, the order of succession was usually strict. Well, that was if they were still alive
Is it you? Or Elda?
Toward those questions, Signiz answered by shaking his head.
No, it was neither nor Elda.
Which ans?
If Signiz words were true, then who was the one killed Signiz brothers?
It was him.
Baron Mikoshiba?
Signiz nodded his head to affirm the question.
When the war was over, during the audience he clearly said it. Besides , no one from the Garbera family is alive.
It cant be
To destroy the enemys family was not an easy task.
Especially when there was no major problem in the enemys territorial managent and the citizen didnt have any strong dissatisfaction toward their rule.
To attack and make it ones own territory was unbelievable. -
He knew everything. From the terrain of every territory, the specialty products, the town and villages, and the amount of taxes each house levied from the people
The mont he heard that, Roberto felt the question he had inside his head lted away.
I see As expected, he prepared everything in detail eh?
Indeed so
Signiz smiled hearing Roberto words.
From a common sense point of view, although possessing a vast amount of land, Wortenia peninsula had no people, until a few years ago that is There were pirates and powerful monsters, but there were no citizens.
For the nobility who lived using taxes, such land was a nightmare for them.
In comparison, the Rozeria northern territory although not as agricultural rich as Irachion, it was rich enough.
Originally, the force Mikoshiba possessed was of far lower battle capability compared to the northern noble households.
It can be said this war was a battle between adult and baby.
At least, that was what Earl Salzberg and the majority of the northern noble household thought.
(Doesnt that an this war was actually decided by how good ones own territory managent was?)
At that mont, Roberto felt a chill run down his spine.
Wait, when did he send his spy to investigate each territory?
Only recently Baron Mikoshiba Ryouma received his peerage.
And after a while, he was dispatched to the Zalda Kingdom as reinforcent.
Considering the ti, most likely he sent the spy around the ti he returned back from the Zalda Kingdom but that was only six months ago.
And it would be difficult to investigate all ten houses in just six months.
Maybe around the ti he inherited the Wortenia peninsula, no?
Signiz, you think so too?
I have no proof, but it is most likely
Understanding the aning of that words, Roberto swallowed his saliva unintentionally.
(What an interesting man)
He was just a Baron, the lowest nobility household, but his eyes were always looking up at the sky.
Toward such existence, Roberto could feel his heart race.
Well then, let hear it. What are you going to do now?
To that question, Roberto breathed out and spoke slowly of his own thoughts, while directly looking at Signiz eyes.
