Knights, Let’s Smash Them

33 – The Sneaky Guest (3)

It was the third day since Petra and Ibona visited Rupel Manor in search of me.

I had no choice but to deal with urgent matters due to Lee Bo-na’s ignorant land attack.

Our manager Pakdaegari didn’t even know what was the most urgent thing in the current administration.

As expected, people can’t fix it.

If I had just quietly retired after the grand expedition, I would have been able to go around and give lectures or travel around and make quite a bit of money.

What was the attitude of the head of the administration?

Still, as if I had expected this to happen, thanks to Petra’s arrangement, the emergency rescue manual for the Knights of the Black Lion was steadily being created.

Suk, suk.

As I scrawl my pen, Petra, who is sitting next to me, quickly gathers up the papers and binds them.

It has been several months since I left the Black Lion Knights.

The chemistry with Petra, who was the only colleague in the administration he could trust and rely on, was still effective.

Even Vice-captain Emain, who was keeping pace with me at the formidable work speed, was surprised.

Also, whenever Xianne came to her office with Lucy, she would stick her tongue out at the stack of papers piled up on her desk.

“Wow…… You need so many manuals?”

“From a simple administrative work manual, how to respond to each guild, standards for sending epitaphs and official letters, etc., Everything is included.”

Judging from the conversation I’ve had with Petra so far, the life of the Black Lion Knights administration is already zero.

From the beginning to the end, under the premise of ‘I don’t exist’, I have to somehow make it self-sustaining.

Like a beast that has been tamed by humans all its life, in order to go out into the wild again, its life mechanism must be completely reversed.

This is essentially the same case as the current situation.

“Petra, take the A-class dungeon and by-product management this way.”

“I already did it. Administrator, please fill out the official form to be sent to each ministry from now on.”

“Okay.”

Kyaa, it’s Petra who believes and sees.

A chuck is a chuck, and he is an amazing administrative talent who does ten if he is told one.

Maybe if he had made her the head of her administration and not Yvona, her administration wouldn’t have been ruined to this extent.

You’re working so hard.

Sianne said with a grin.

“Then, suffer, Magistrate of Luberne. I’m sorry there’s nothing I can do to help.”

“No, Captain. Thank you for taking good care of Lucy.”

“Lucy, you should say hello to the magistrate.”

“Hi Dad! Hello sister!”

A blonde-haired girl waves her hand vigorously and exits her office with Sianne.

At first, I tried to change the title of father somehow, but it seems that the title has already been completely fixed for Lucy.

In the end, both Xian and I gave up on correcting the title, and accepted it just because it was meant to be.

But cute is cute.

Why does she feel like she knows how to be a daughter like a fool? Lucy’s destructive power was fatally harmful to her heart.

Petra, too, was holding Cianne’s hand tightly and smiling happily as she watched Lucy leave the office.

“He is such a cute kid. However…… What do you plan to do in the future? You don’t even want to report it to the imperial family?”

“Because Count Rupell wants you to do that too.”

Right after Lucy hatched and woke up, we sent another urgent telegram to Count Rupell.

He let out a sigh when he checked the appearance of a half-human, half-dragon girl with gorgeous blonde hair, a gold dragon that met a tragic end, and the tomb of an old dragon knight.

-It’s a big deal…… Looks like things got bigger than I thought. How many people know that she is half-human, half-dragon?

-Sianne, I, Petra Administrator, who has long been trusted by the Black Lion Knights, and the Pirhak couple who explored this place together are all.

-First of all, let’s put this aside. There is no need to scratch and make a boil.

Earl Rupel was a wise man.

He understood as well as I did the numerous problems that the existence of a gold dragon, a truly unique case of a half-man, half-dragon, could cause.

A young dragon born of the blood of the golden dragon and the legendary hero Orgius.

Isn’t it perfect to be used as the empire’s mascot and puppet?

The emperor of the Boliver Empire was a sage, but not all the people who handled the affairs of the imperial family were ‘good’ people.

And if that’s not the case, it might be used as a special weapon of the Volibert Empire.

If it is the magic of the royal mage corps or mage masters, it shouldn’t be difficult to completely subjugate an imperfect dragon that has not yet possessed a complete self.

The moment her existence became known to the world, it was clear that Lucy would never return to her current life.

-Leave Lucy as an apprentice knight candidate for the Snow Leopard Knights.

As her count said, the best way to protect her was to enlist her Lucy as a member of our knights.

There was a law that I adopted her as an adopted daughter, but that would be irrelevant even after Lucy grew up to a certain extent.

“Turn it off—!!! Ugh, ugh, my body is sore after working on paperwork for several days.”

“Still, isn’t it nice to be reminded of the old days?”

“That’s right. I also worked overtime with Petra all the time. Because she was a really dependable colleague.”

“Eh, ah…… What are you talking about?”

At my words, Petra ran her fingers through her hair, as if embarrassed.

“Petra.”

“Yes?”

I paused at her for a moment, then looked at her.

“You should also prepare for a job change soon.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t intend to be moderate in the Snow Leopard Knights. My goal is to make this place at least the strongest knights in the north.”

I held onto Petra’s hand. She must have been surprised by the sudden skinship, and she pulled her body back in anger.

“Last time, only you asked if you were serious. No, I was serious too.”

“Have it, magistrate?! What the hell is that…….”

Petra was the perfect officemate for me and I got along so well.

Isn’t it too much of a waste to leave such a valuable talent in the Black Lion that might soon sink?

Seriously, I need more administrators like Petra.

“Stay with me.”

“Ugh…… ! What should I do if you say that!”

“So, don’t you like it?”

“It’s not like that… ….”

The girl bowed her head and answered even Gon.

“Okay… …. Uh, but as you know, the magistrate knows that right now I just left and I can’t do it…… !”

“Oh, you know, you know. Of course I understand. So, all you have to do is prepare for a job change slowly. I will call you when the time is right.”

To be honest, the administrative manual I am writing with Petra is practically only for first aid.

Only the central part is described, so all the details are the work of the Black Lion Knights administration.

‘If you dare to visit someone who has resigned and ask for that, it’s as if you’ve just buried your conscience.’

The Black Lion Knights are a mobster conglomerate, but their obsession with those who have left the company is no different from that of a small cow.

Even though it’s been two weeks since I left, there was a place where I called five times a day.

I am really thankful that there are no phones in this world.

And although Lee Bona helped out of pity, she did not help the Black Lion Knights just out of sympathy.

Again, my goal is to make this little Snow Leopard Knights the strongest in the North, and even the strongest in the Empire.

However, in order for that to happen.

Because we need more money to run the knights, more knights with superior skills, and more dungeons to train and finance those knights.

The Knights of the Black Lion needed to continue to exist as they are now.

I’m planning on sucking up the resources they have.

Originally, what the company thinks is the most threatening is that one of the central personnel who had a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

In many cases, they know how the dungeon was operated, all kinds of internal data and conditions that are classified as corporate secrets.

If you offer a better or better condition than that, in fact, from the point of view of the other customer, there is no need to do business with the company.

Just looking at the contents of the dungeon and its by-product management, there are a few things I deliberately left out.

A typical example is the ‘Ulaid Swamp’, an A-class dungeon in the north that we talked about last time.

As soon as the work here in Tiffen Village is finished, I plan to work on it and eat it.

‘You shouldn’t have sent me out if you twisted it. The bylaws don’t even mention leaking, so what are you going to do?’

It’s my place to eat, but if the Black Lion Knights start managing the dungeon normally, wouldn’t it be a headache?

I don’t feel like taking advantage of Petra, who believes in me.

After the snow leopard knights settle down to a certain extent, wouldn’t it be nice to bring them in and buy them something tasty to make their stomach burst?

I’m sorry, Petra!

I never dreamed that I was thinking this, Petra wiggled her fingers before opening her mouth.

“Well, um, for now, I just have to take these manuals and go back, right?”

“Yes. Because I wrote everything down. If you spray the administration as it is, it will take care of everything. Of course, the details should be taken care of by the generals. This is the last time I help.”

“Everything?”

Petra’s calm eyes flashed for an instant.

“Yeah, why is there a problem?”

“No…… I thought there were a few things that were ‘deliberately’ left out in the A-rank dungeon management manual I was working on a while ago.”

Oh.

“Huh? Uh…… ? Was there anything like that?”

Because I was taken aback by the sudden piercing blow, Petra smiled as she slightly pulled her head towards me.

“Did you really think I wouldn’t know? I don’t know if you’ve underestimated it or if you’ve lost your sense. If it’s the former, I might be a little disappointed, right?”

The corners of Petra’s eyes curled slightly.

“Ulaid Swamp, for example? I didn’t even say that on purpose…….”

“Ah, that…… You mean?! Petra! I don’t mean anything else!”

I never dreamed that I would be able to pinpoint it accurately, so I stuttered and made excuses.

She tapped me on the shoulder and said.

“Don’t worry. I will always be on the side of Magistrate Luberne no matter what. I know what you are thinking.”

“Is that so… ….”

“Did you owe me? So, you must keep your promise to call me, right?”

Was Petra originally like this?

In the past, I always felt pliable, comfortable, and soft.

Petra, who was smiling softly right in front of me, was something, something. The atmosphere was definitely different from when he was working with the Black Lion Knights.

Has anything happened in the meantime?

“Ah, I have finished everything you asked me to do! All you have to do is fill out the official form, so I’ll take a little break!”

Petra straightened up and went out of the office.

“If the magistrate wants it, of course you should… …. Because the administrator called me again……. Without me, it’s impossible for the magistrate to settle down here alone……. I thought you would go on a trip and come back, but I didn’t know you would settle down here without telling me……. But since we met again…….”

Of course, right before she left her office, exactly what she muttered.

There was no way for Luvern Alroy to know.
