Chapter 175 – New Minions
There were guests from early morning.
If you wait at the place prepared by the lady-in-waiting, two people will come.
“Arwin. And is it Enoch? What have you been up to since this early morning?”
I pointed at the two of them to a chair while drinking sweet-scented tea.
At my gesture, the two of them sat down on chairs and grabbed teacups.
“This is the tea that Leoric-nim often drinks.”
“Are there even rumors like that?”
A bitter smile came out at Arwin’s words.
I knew it was popular in the Franz estate, but…
“That’s what His Excellency the Count likes, so everyone will drink it out of curiosity. It’s not expensive either.”
It is a car that even ordinary farmhouses can get if they spend a little money with the feeling of eating out.
Is that what makes it so fashionable?
“Your Excellency Count’s fame has already crossed the South. Perhaps in other provinces, this is the tea that the count enjoys? Wouldn’t you like to drink while saying that?”
Haha. The noble nobles of the capital might curse at you for drinking cheap tea.”
At my words, Arwin kept his mouth shut.
Uh, maybe?
Haha…”
“Well, I knew.”
It’s a little heartbreaking.
But it’s natural for the superior to curse.
“So, you came here because there was a story, right?”
And that’s my scout I said before? It’s headhunting.
Arwin and Enoch both nodded at my words.
First of all, I looked at Arwin rather than Enoch, which would make the story more complicated.
Arwin, who briefly looked at Enoch in my gaze, nodded.
“Yeah. Your Excellency Count. Please take me with you.”
Hmm.
Arwin Cassandra.
The family is in the middle, neither good nor bad.
“Is there anything you want?”
“…”
At my words, Arwin paused for a moment and then nodded his head.
“I have always had an interest in learning.”
“Study.”
Not bad.
Recently, a story came out about the city where Franz and Müller’s gongs will gather.
“The teachings Leoric told me earlier opened my eyes to new possibilities.”
“It’s not that great, but…”
Well. What did Arwin and I talk about in the club?
“Of course, I will do my best to do what you ask me to do. I just want to be taught if I have the time or if I can make a mark.”
Be teaching
I don’t know how great it is.
To be honest, I’m running out of words now.
But there are no good places.
“I don’t know how much I can teach you, but I don’t care if that’s good. And although the story is still at the level, I am thinking of making a city on empty land near the Great Mountains, halfway between Müller and Franz.”
“Is it a city?”
I smiled at Arwin, who blinked at the sudden talk of the city.
“It’s not a story right now, but if it happens, it will be in the distant future. The city intends to build a research institute where researchers from Müller and Franz gather. An academic city where such research institutes gather. Or Science City.”
I haven’t decided on a name yet.
At my words, Arwin’s eyes began to twinkle.
“I cannot forcefully order each family to share the hidden research results, but I intend to freely share the research results created as a public institution, at least with Müller and Franz.”
“Knowledge that can be shared… ! Indeed, indeed wonderful!”
“Yes. The knowledge handed down to future generations will pile up and one day become a tower that will enable us to reach the sky and beyond. What is it, Arwin? Would you like to participate in this too?”
Tears fell from Arwin’s eyes at my words.
I’m holding weight too, but I flinched at Arwin’s reaction. He’s really scary
Glancing at Enoch, he was looking at Arwin with a slightly creepy reaction.
“Oh oh! Impression… Impressed! Leoric! Genealogy of knowledge passed on to future generations! The Tower of Wisdom represents a new historical moment for mankind! The moment it is built on the earth! From the Age of Gods to the Age of Nobles, now! Talk about the birth of another era! Please! Please! Please let me help with that plan!”
“Mmm.”
He pretended to be calm and nodded his head.
I got a little goosebumps at Arwyn’s words mixed with madness.
Really like it
Not bad though.
He’s vague as a person in charge, but he’s of noble blood anyway. He thought that at least one nobleman like that should be a manager.
It would be perfect if you seduced a few of Franz’s people and left them together.
“Oh oh! It is the birth of a new god!”
… Are you really okay?
Wouldn’t it be like a mad scientist?
When I glanced at Enoch, our eyes met.
Shaking my head!
Enoch shook his head, saying he never wanted to be involved.
… I’ll have to find a good guy in Franz. Marlton… It looks like it will be swept along.
***
“Haha! Excuse me. I’m so excited because it’s such a historic moment that I can say it’s such a great achievement. Sorry.”
To be honest, I don’t want to look under the table right now.
This bastard, with vulgar words, seems to be having an erection.
What a terrible fellow, Arwin Cassandra. I need to be careful.
“Yeah, that’s right. Then…”
I turned my gaze to Arwin, who was calming down while drinking tea.
Now it’s your turn, Enoch.
Enoch looked at me and Arwin with conflicted eyes in my gaze, then sighed and began to speak.
“Kuhm… It’s embarrassing to talk in this atmosphere. Good.”
It was only after Arwin calmed down that Enoch spoke.
“… Oh, do I really have to speak to this atmosphere?”
“Kuhm.”
Enoch looked at Arwin with a face as if a wise man had come for a moment, then gave up and sighed.
“Kyra, she wasn’t that kind of woman. I should have noticed it early, but I too was blinded by love and noticed it too late, and by then it was already too late.”
Enoch smiled bitterly.
“I don’t know the details, but I think it’s enough if it’s solved by Leoric-sama’s grace. I want to thank her again for helping her.”
Enoch slowly lowered his head.
At the same time he swore allegiance once more.
“Like I said that night, Master Leoric Franz. My oath will not change. Even if it is a role, I will accept it and show my vow in action.”
There was no flicker in those eyes.
It looks like you’ve worked out your feelings for each other since that night.
“Hmm. I think she and her story ended well.”
At my words, Enoch hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“I talked to her about her and her. Open each other’s hearts and clear up misunderstandings… I wished for forgiveness for my mistakes. She forgave, she forgave me, and I forgave too.”
Forgive each other’s sins
Is it a love novel?
“So we decided to leave Boring together.”
“Leave Boring?”
No wonder.
If you want to work under me from now on, you’ll have to go to Muller or Aslan or wherever.
But are we together?
“The Tatra family and the Meref family have other successors besides me and Kaira. I am thinking of entrusting the family to them and leaving Boring together with Kaira.”
Indeed.
Are you talking about being independent?
“Either Muller or Aslan. It doesn’t matter where. I am thinking of starting anew with Kyra.”
Seriously, if you look at it, it’s not just a young man’s runaway.
In any case, it seems that they intend to live for each other sincerely, rather than just talking about engagement.
“Of course. I am welcome Unfortunately, there are so many people who are just incompetent, so there are many places where human hands are needed. You may also need the help of your fiancée, Kyra Mref.”
“…”
At my words, Enoch flinched.
Do you have something to say?
At my gaze, Enoch’s lips softened.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“She, that…”
He hesitated and sighed.
“She’s a bit stupid, so I thought it might be useful for work…” .”
“… Is it.”
She spewed profanity, but was she really dumb?
Even my fiancé would say this.
“Yeah, but she has excellent hand dexterity and is good at embroidering… Well…”
Very… It’s not a hobby that helps with work.
Enoch tried to make an excuse for his fiancée, but eventually gave up.
“I will risk her life to do her share.”
“No… I don’t think it’s necessary to risk your life for something like this. Well, that’s good.”
Anyway, both came under me.
That’s a good thing.
Looking at the two of them, they talk about their plans for the future.
“Now I leave for the capital, receive a new surname, and become the founder of the family. It probably won’t take long.”
Originally, I would stay in that state for a long time and open my face or build up a network.
The situation is the situation
“I plan to go back to Müller via Borin and Franz when I return from the capital, just like when I came. Prepare to join us then.”
“Yeah!”
“All right!”
Seeing the two immediately respond to my order, I nodded.
Now, the work to do in Boring is over.
It was finally time to head to the capital.
