Volu 2 Chapter 42 (The determination of the summoned person)
Translator: HASUTSUKI, Editor: SniperIRL
Day 227 after being summoned to another world: (The determination of the summoned person)
(At the end of the day I was too naive huh)
Ryouma looked at the ceiling while lying on his bed inside his bedroom located within the royal castle.
Inside his mind, the stiff and firm expression of Princess Lupis appears.
Ryouma was called in the morning for an audience to receive the title of Baron and Wortenia Peninsula land from Queen Lupis.
Such situation is not what he had expected.
Because he was just recently talking with the Marfisto sisters about their next destination.
However, he could not decline the reward.
Of course, it was not because he was happy with it.
But because he noticed.
Behind Lupis expression, he can see fear toward him
And also the murderous intent leaked by ltina who was standing beside her.
If Ryouma were to decline here, ltina will without a doubt instantly order the guards inside the room to attack.
They are very afraid of the human being called Mikoshiba Ryouma.
He was sensitive to that, thats why he avoided giving them an imdiate response.
But first, he thought about why such decision co to being.
(First, why did they not want to decline What is their aim)
Back during the audience.
Ryouma was able to suppress his anger toward Lupis, and able to give out words of gratitude.
(Wortenia Peninsula huh Sohow the situation turned weird That damned woman!)
Ryouma thought about the event that happened in the morning and cursed the person who caused it inside his heart.
Although he does not voice out the words.
Nobody is inside the room except him.
He told the Marfisto sisters to leave the room to give him the ti to think by himself.
The red setting sunlight that ca through the window dyed his face red.
His expression is as cold as an icy winter, despite a raging fury inside his heart.
Fll0w current novls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
Her gaze is filled with murderous intent.
The anger for being betrayed by the person one believed in.
Hatred toward Lupis is growing despite trying to restrain his feelings.
He thought it was stupid of him from the start, for believing in her.
But right now, he cant make any reckless moves.
At least for now
After all, the one who betrayed him is the lord of this castle, the new queen of this country.
(They say the walls have ears and the doors have eyes I need to be careful After all, soone might be spying on It is also a bad for to voice my dissatisfaction now But the current situation is worse than the ti when I killed that Gaies dude)
Ryouma tried to clarify everything in his mind until his mind grew numb.
It was difficult for Ryouma to escape Ortoa Empire, but he succeeded back then.
However, it is different right now.
The condition and the situation are too much of a difference from last ti.
That ans of escaping from this place is realistically impossible.
(First, there are too many people who know my face and na And if Lupis moves her hands toward the guild, I wont be able to live, since I can only do jobs via the guild)
According to Lupis letter, she had already explained to the guild and proved his innocence.
In other words, if Lupis said I dont know anything about that letter or what I wrote is a lie, then everything could be overturned.
Having the testimony being pulled back, Ryouma would lose his innocence once more.
(Damn it Having royalty hold power can be troubleso too)
Rembering how he was happy back then when his innocence was proven, he wants to puke.
Per say this happen might be because he underestimates the power of royalty.
One way or another, when we talk about the power of a country, one can say it was very powerful.
After all, with the power of a country, one can make black as white and white as black.
(I want to leave this country as soon as possible But, its impossible huh So knights have been placed around us in a pretext of guarding us But I bet, if we make a stupid move, they will definitely try to kill us Kuh!
Im such stupid man for believing what Lupis had said Wait until her coronation over she said! Damn it! Dont joke with )
Originally, as soon as the civil war ended, he planned to leave the country.
Thats why Ryouma did everything to win.
He avoided a close relationship with the nobles more than necessary, without questioning Queen Lupis intention.
He was not aware how he was being seen from his surroundings.
Such mistakes have beco overwhelming.
Right now, one month has already passed since the civil war ended.
Ryouma still remained inside the castle even after his cris had been cleared.
Because Queen Lupis asked him strongly.
At first, Ryouma caught that as a sign of anxiety.
The anxiety of carrying the responsibility of a country on her back.
Having her trusted person being punished, Ryouma thought his existence helped her to alleviate her anxiety a little bit, but that totally backfired.
Ryouma was told to stay in a room for a whole month.
What he does for a daily routine is only eat a nice al, practice martial arts with Lione and the Marfisto sisters.
And have so small talks with Bolts and Genou to kill ti.
This was the only calm days he spent since the ti he was being summoned.
However, that was the story under the premise that he could leave the country.
If he realized that he has to remain in the country from the beginning, he wont spend his days like that.
Right now, what he needed is silence to think.
Quietly and surely, Ryouma analyzed the current situation.
(I cant believe it that that woman would break her promise Forget it, Ive decided to not think about such thing One can say that I was making light of her too much, and put too much trust in her)
He understood that she was afraid of him.
That is why he was planning to imdiately leave the country.
However, the fear inside Lupis seems to not easily disappear just because he left the country.
(Wortenia Peninsula huh? If I think straightforwardly, this is a big success But Lupis should never make this decision, and she shouldve known it After all, appointing civilians as a noble in this kind of ti would incite another rebellion Lupis governnt is still highly unstable.
If she makes the decision to make , a civilian a noble in this kind of situation then there must be sothing behind it.)
The thing she was trying to give to Ryouma is a noble rank and a territory.
If one think normally, such thing can be said as a great success.
However, Ryouma is not foolish enough to take it just like that.
Without any prior discussion, Queen Lupis pressed the noble rank and territory onto Ryouma, ignoring her previous promise.
If she really wishes to borrow Mikoshiba Ryoumas power, she should never do such thing.
She can just say that she might need help in the future beforehand.
His present situation.
The current state of Rozeria Kingdom.
And the attitude and expression Queen Lupis shown.
By assembling them within his mind, he imdiately understood Queen Lupis aim.
(I see She wants to confine huh)
First and foremost, it was unnatural for her to give Ryouma a territory since she was afraid of him.
If that was the case then, there must be sothing that might limit him of his movent by giving him the nobility rank.
(First, I should think about the Wortenia Peninsula that I was given There must be a problem there.
First, it was bordering with conflicting neighboring country Since Lupis was giving it to him with such pressure, there is no way to refuse it In order to refuse this, he needs a very solid reason A good reason Co on, think!)
In order for him to decline the territory and the noble rank, he needs a sufficient reason without unnecessarily crushing her.
If he were to refuse it plainly, it would only paint mud on Lupis authority.
Of course, Ryouma does not care if sothing were to happen to Lupis, but what situation would arise if he were to do sothing like that?
Lupis and ltina will without doubt move to kill Ryouma using any ans necessary.
aning, receiving the gift or not, he will still see hell.
In the end, I was too naive
Such self-mockery leaked from Ryouma.
He feels like he could not win against the power called the country.
Even if he can win against Lupis individually, he could not win easily against her authority.
In a place where defiance will be punished severely, it would be bad for him to do that.
In other words, in term of life, Ryouma is weaker than Lupis.
He was wondering what he should do in this kind of situation
(The one who can win against a country is another country)
Ryouma mind finally cos to conclusion.
It seems like youre caught in so trouble, my lord.
Soone spoke to Ryouma who was in deep thought.
Ryouma imdiately raises his body and glares toward the owner of the voice.
How did you enter here, Genou?
From the door, of course
Genou responded to Ryoumas question with a relaxed manner.
What do you want? I do not rember calling you?
Indeed, you did not, my lord.
While receiving Ryoumas words lightly, Genou settled down on a chair.
Weve checked the entire situation. About Wortenia Peninsula It would likely be a troubleso land
Why did you know that?!
Ryouma narrowed his eyes toward Genou.
Ryouma have not yet even told the sisters yet, but this old man already knows about it.
It is our occupation to find things. Sothing like this is an easy walk.
I see I guess youre right indeed.
Ryouma agreeing with Genous statent.
Genou ca from a clan well versed in stealing and assassination.
It would be easy for them to find information.
Well I was just being asked for so favor by those twin ladies. They said my lords behavior is strange. That is why Sakuya and I tried to find out the reason.
Those two?
Genou deeply nods his head.
Perhaps the sisters sensed so change in Ryoumas behavior, and then they asked Genou to do sothing.
One can definitely say their consideration is very wonderful.
So, do you know what situation were currently in?
Indeed It is certainly troubleso. However, theres a silver lining in everything.
Silver lining? Which part of this situation that is a silver lining?!
Ryouma instinctively raised his voice.
This all according to Lupis expectation.
Being given land.
And having the land filled with trouble.
However, Genou lightly shook his head.
My lord Lets ride on Queen Lupis expectation. And then, we build our own power.
Ryouma could not imdiately nod his head toward Genou statent.
After all, that was what he was thinking just a while ago.
My lord, can you believe in us?
Genous words pierced Ryoumas heart.
Weve already made our decision. Lione-dono, Bolts-dono, and of course the two young ladies as well
Genou eyes look straight at Ryouma
His words transmitted his strong intention.
Thats right! Why didnt you say anything to us boy
Young master! We will accompany you anywhere!
The door opened, Lione, Bolts, Sakuya and even the Marfisto sisters show up.
It seems like they have co to a decision just like what Genou had said.
*Fuuh*
Ryouma facial expression relaxed.
I cant guarantee anything you know? After all, I was just a commoner who never managed a territory before
In response to Ryoumas words, Genou nodded his head.
Everyone present understood such things.
Still, they believe in the human being nad Mikoshiba Ryouma.
Being able to admit that is already splendid enough, thats why the nobles are nasty because they always pretending!
Liones words represent everyones mind.
They begin to sit surrounding the table to decide their future plan.
First, they are thinking as to how to respond to Lupis tomorrow.
After all, the deadline for his reply is tomorrow.
Tomorrow, he must decide whether or not he receives the rank and territory.
They all stay up all night to develop so counterasures.
Well, she does have her position to think about.
Ryoumas words are sowhat cold.
One can say his words are filled with anger.
Didnt you feel aggravated by it?
Lione turns her gaze toward Ryouma.
Let see Well, I do not have a plan of forgiving her for this though
Ryouma responded with those words while laughing.
Everyone present looking at Ryoumas face can feel a cold shiver run down on their spine.
This is the laughter of a demon.
Filled with malice and hatred.
A dark and deep darkness, filled with ambition.
(Lupis I dont know what situation youre in But youve betrayed Well, It was also my mistake to get deceived like this But this ti, I will make you pay the price!)
Tonight, the light in his room remained lit until morning ca.
