I Became the Wrong Race

162 – Cleaning Up (4)

“My name is Lie Hejedia, and I am the new treasurer of the Pantheon. Please take care of me.”

These are not words left by sages, but there are words left by an equally wise and wise person.

I was told not to argue with my classmates or my older sister.

Of course, you might dismiss it as having never heard of such a thing.

Reliability was sufficient. At least, these are the words I said, even if I am not the wisest person here and now, in the distant future, I will become the overwhelming intelligence that encompasses this Netel.

Considering the possibility and flashing comeback, it was a statement worth believing.

Therefore, I had no choice but to be persuaded after listening to Lie Hejedia’s ‘101 Reasons Why Your Duke Needs a Chancellor of the Exchequer’.

Basically, President Baji is someone who has no choice but to do what those in power tell him to do.

After returning all of Rie Hejedia’s personal items including the monocle, outerwear, underwear, and other travel bags, all that was left was the introduction.

A council that is not a council of the pantheon.

There is no such thing as formality, and if you leave the door closed, Huey will scratch the door, so keep the door open. It is a secret meeting where there are no secrets.

There I sat as expressionless as possible.

“Finance Minister.”

“It means a prime minister who is in charge of the economic sector of a group.”

Isla, a northern country bumpkin (not an insult) who doesn’t know what a finance minister is, asks, and Lorian answers.

“It mainly sets the national budget, reviews budget requests from other organizations, manages domestic currency, and oversees taxes on goods coming and going abroad… Why do you look at it like that?”

“Who are you?”

I lowered my voice and glared at Lorian. This is not Lorian. The Lorian I knew was not that knowledgeable.

Lorian, who was stroking Isla, who was lying on his lap as a pillow, tilted his head and frowned.

“… Are you accusing me of saying that this is not my role and that I only do stupid things during peacetime?”

“That’s right.”

“Isla!”

“It’s true.”

Isla was always confident and honest.

Even the melody was affirmed, so Lorian had to endure it with his lips sticking out in order not to break the mood.

Isla, who knew this well, rested her chin on Lorian’s thigh and flicked his tail.

For one thing or another, Lorian did not look angry when Isla pressed her tail against Lorian’s her cheek her her her.

Well, how can you be angry when you’re telling me not to be angry with that tail?

I nodded in agreement, and Rie Hejedia looked at the two of them blankly and said.

“… However, since we are not a country, I think there will be differences in our work. I will be in charge of negotiating with other external settlements, hiring mercenaries, managing and stockpiling supplies, and collecting scarce resources.”

Actually, the pantheon is not a country. It is not even at the level of a city-state, let alone a country.

No, does it work?

Due to my lack of education, I didn’t know much about what defines a city.

I just glanced at my older sister, and when I saw my older sister looking upset, I glanced gloomily.

And when I glanced again, my older sister was flustered when she saw me lowering my gaze in gloom.

Well, this still works. It’s not even my old face.

Feeling that the shocking truth she had heard from Rie Heje Dia was once again coming to mind, she desperately tried to divert her attention.

“Aren’t you going to fight?”

“Eshaterna, I don’t plan on fighting you because I’ll be tired.”

“That’s too bad. “I haven’t been able to use the new knife.”

The sword breaker spinning in Esha Terna’s her fingers her her her. The elf’s greatest assassin returned the sword to its sheath with an expressionless expression of regret.

“There is something that bothers me.”

“Please feel free to speak.”

But fortunately, thanks to Esha Terna’s ‘Esha Action’, my sister quickly regained her composure.

My sister crossed her arms as if she had become restless after seeing my reaction

It was the ‘crossing of arms to support the chest’ that troubled me several times when I was in middle school.

Now, well, actually, when I was looking at it, it felt a bit weird, so I had to look away.

“I said I was thinking of hiring mercenaries. “Why do you need mercenaries?”

“The location of the pantheon has already been determined, so that’s right.”

Lie Hejedia.

The Minister of Finance, who had been on the side of the punitive force not long ago, but quickly defected after realizing that he was at a disadvantage, smiled through his monocle.

“Now that it is no longer a safe zone like before, there will inevitably be a need for people to be on guard and protect the surroundings.”

“It’s enough if we protect ourselves.”

“I am well aware that there are not many troops available. There are approximately a little over a hundred mixed-blood vampires, and most of them have not even completed basic training.”

Lorian made an uncomfortable sound, but Rie Hejedia didn’t even look at him.

She knew well who she needed to persuade.

Implicitly, it was my older sister who had the strongest say at this event.

And it was inevitable.

Her older sister was once the strongest in the Nama Empire, and as a magic angel, she defeated the swordsman Liehejedia and took the position of the best sword in the empire.

At the same time, he was also a warrior and adventurer who escaped from the continent despite the emperor’s magical arms.

The entire continent knew my sister’s name

Even Lorian, in her older sister’s opinion, was bound to curl her tail like Huey when she met Esha Terna’s eyes, so it could be said that Liehejedia had great insight.

“You can’t use the Black Knights, right? The anti-magic power that the Black Knights possess is not good for the barrier built around here… Above all, their search and patrol abilities are not that good.”

It wasn’t wrong. Although the Black Knights are almost omnipotent, they are practically nothing more than luggage when it comes to work that requires magical power.

Lie Hejedia seemed to know that well.

It had to be that way.

Because she was one of those who came to seriously subdue us.

And my sister’s thoughts seemed to have reached there as well. My sister’s eyes she turned black.

Like the overly large full moon in the black night sky, my sister’s magical eyes gave an eerie feeling to those who saw them.

Honestly, I was a little scared.

“How can I trust you?”

Maansa was also such a job.

A job that is easy to benefit from initiation-related conversations and maintains warrior-like strength while freely using simple magic.

So Rie Hejedia’s expression her her her rarely cracked. There was a slight feeling of fear.

Because it was obvious that if my sister wanted it, she would be turned into meat paste in an instant.

I looked forward to seeing how Liehjedia would turn out.

How will it come out?

Should I beg? Or should I try to persuade him logically?

Either that or he might get angry. If you have a short temper, you might die of anger.

I looked around from where I was sitting, and saw the mourner, who had been silently carving a piece of wood, quietly standing in the doorway.

If there is a fight, try to prevent them from going outside.

I shook my head and looked at Lie Hejedia.

It occurred to me that Rie Hejedia was not the type of person to do that.

Sure enough, Lie Hejedia moved beyond expectations.

Before I knew it, a woman had quietly approached me. A hand toward me.

The hand that came without even a sense of discomfort, let alone a threat, touched my shoulder

“Here, there is a man whom the emperor called a true pretender.”

I blinked in a daze, and Rie Hejedia’s cold hand gently pressed my shoulder.

“The emperor ordered that the false accuser be killed. I obeyed the order, and other talented people from the empire, including myself, came to the New Continent to kill the true king and bring back his head. But… There was one thing I overlooked.”

“I think I know what it is.”

These were the words of Ortemilia, who was alone in all the conversation and was looking at her fingernails.

Liehejedia glanced at the little dragon, and Lethe snorted at her.

“You’re saying it was something they all threw away, right?”

“Hmph.”

What does this mean?

“It seems you didn’t know. Well, if you’re drunk in the heat of battle, you might be mistaken.”

Are you saying this is a throwaway word?

All of them?

It was an unbelievable story for me, who was in the middle of the fight, but that’s what Lete said.

“That was the plan itself. Some people are stuck somewhere, and some people are blocking others. In fact, if your goal is to kill the pretender at all costs…”

Lete’s vertical pupil turned towards me. A somewhat cool temperament was radiating from those eyes.

“Wouldn’t it have been right to send everything to you and focus your attack?”

If you think about it, it was like that.

When I thought about it again, the fight itself felt strange.

I prepared, but the goal is to kill me.

I felt like killing myself wasn’t the main goal. If I did well, I could have killed him, but…

If I was going to waste it like that anyway, it was hard to deny that there was a better way.

And Liehejedia raised the corners of her mouth as if she was thinking the same thing.

“The Emperor’s purpose is to get rid of us all. There is no reason to follow it anymore.”

So he joined me. I thought it was a sufficient explanation for me, but it didn’t seem to be the case for my sister.

My older sister still maintained her magical eyes.

“That alone doesn’t explain it. How do you know if you’re not telling a lie? Couldn’t he be a double agent trying to take advantage of the next subjugation?”

Those evil evil eyes scanned Rie Hejedia, and for the rarest of times, I couldn’t agree with my sister’s words

And it seemed like it was just me. Most of the others seemed to agree with my sister.

Why on earth? There doesn’t seem to be a chance of betrayal.

After thinking for a while, I knew why.

It had to be that way.

Because I understood Lie Hegedia, but not other people.

“Maybe so. It may seem like I’m a traitor and that I’m lying and trying to deceive you and take advantage. But.”

The surprising fact is that Rie Hejedia also knows that.

Furthermore, she knew more than she thought.

“The reason I decided to convert is because Lord Llewellyn here looked at me and understood me. So, the matter of my life and death is not up to the Lord of the Nation to decide.”

My sister’s eyes widen. Looking into those eyes, Rie Hejedia said with a subtle smile.

“Someone who uses and discards people like tools, and one who creates unique flags by caring for people and wanting them to be happy. Which one would you rather serve? “I stand here with that intention.”

I didn’t think you would even understand my unique skills.

Lie Heje Dia turned her coy smile towards me. What she feels from that gaze is trust.

I opened my eyes wide with a bewildered expression, and Rie Hejedia massaged my shoulder and said.

“I will trust my new soldiers entirely to you. Please do as you wish.”

I understood the pressure in those words.

It’s because it’s a good word, but if I were to interpret it, it meant something like this.

‘Have you seen my life? ‘Can you persuade me on your own?’

I swallowed my saliva and was taken aback by the countless gazes directed at me.
