NOVEL WEB C79
It has been some time since the pig exposure incident that inhabited the Dickaman family.
"Breakfast is ready."
Embarrassed by the pig, I returned to my room to hurry the Prime Minister, and we chatted for the rest of the night without a wink of sleep.
"It's already this late, time moves fast when talking with Khalil, doesn't it?"
"I too find my conversations with the Vizier very enjoyable.”
That's why we continued chatting until Bosco knocked, but I was trying to cover up my embarrassment, and the Prime Minister was probably passing the time.
"Bosco, please bring breakfast to this room.
And I want you to boil some water for me."
"Yes, of course.”
Well, we wasted a lot of time chatting about various things, but at least we should have a discussion. Well, it was more of a mutual confirmation than a discussion.
We dressed ourselves and put away the snacks and drinks that were spread out on the table.
"It would be more efficient for me and Khalil to go to the city under fire and make an announcement,
I would like to go to the three most developed areas of the count's territory, but we need to save as much strength as we can, and we also need to prepare for the institute."
Building up strength.
I can see a future where even if I tried to increase my strength based on knowledge, I would end up halfway there.
And the current situation of relying on knowledge is a bit dangerous.
Most of the knowledge is about the future, and the villain I have already become has changed so much that I am no longer a villain.
The past changes, which means the future changes, and the credibility of knowledge fades.
This means that I have to strengthen my knowledge information by organizing it, checking its accuracy, and experimenting with my abilities before I enter the academy.
"If it weren't for Khalil's academy and all the trouble that goes with it, I'd be going to the auction. ......"
"I don't know what will happen, but the auction will probably be during the big summer vacation.
I look forward to it.”
"I'll make sure I have enough money to collect all the gold coins in the capital."
If I had that much gold, I could probably buy half of everything that's going to be auctioned. ......
Yes [the cup].”
The words were filled with magic, and as if by magic, two glasses appeared on the desk with wine in them.
"No need to actually drink it, just think of it as a ritual."
"Let's have it.”
It was obvious at first glance that the glasses, made with magic, would fetch a considerable amount of money if they were sold.
Carefully, I take it in my hand and hold it out to the Prime Minister.
"For the sake of our future.”
Chiling......
The sound of the glasses clinking against each other was as clear as a bell.
ーーーーーーー...
The Dicaman family is currently going through a major change that will threaten its very existence.
The changes in the Dicaman family, which I work for, began after something suddenly changed in Master Khalil, who had been obsessed with his fiancée.
Starting with the establishment of a cure for red stone disease, the protection of Berthona and her son who can use recovery magic different from that of the church, the removal of the traitors in the mansion, and the fire in the town.
All of these events, one by one, are significant for the aristocratic family. So far, everything seems to be resolved and the Dicaman family is stable.
Yes, it is, but I and Naamis, who have been entrusted by Khalil to manage the Dikaman territory, are aware of the problems it is currently facing.
It is total antagonism with the church.
What I can do for this matter is to strengthen the Dicamanian territory in order to be ready for any interference or attack from the church, and to strengthen our farmland, our strength, our funds, and everything else as a noble family.
But,
"I can't go any further.”
These were the words that came back to me when I asked Naamis for an opinion when the strengthening of the territory had stalled.
I know, there are not many people who can cope with sudden changes, and any further attempts to change the situation could be disadvantageous.
But I can't afford to be so optimistic. I swore to protect the Dicaman family on the day my predecessor left for the duke's territory, where the red stone disease was rampant.
But I cannot ignore the knowledge of Naamis, and I cannot weaken the Dicaman family by my own actions.
What I alone can do that will not affect the Dicaman family is to create a private army. If I teach them my skills, they should be able to fight there in about three months.
That's what I was thinking,
, “The Prime Minister is coming to our house from now on, and I would like to ask Bosco to prepare for him."
What Master Khalil asked me to do was so big that my plan was postponed.
However, a question also came to my mind.
Master Khalil and the Prime Minister must not have been particularly acquainted until they met at the party hosted by the royal family, and there was no reason for the Prime Minister to come all the way to the territory of Dicaman. ......
No, there is one. The report of hostility with the church probably led to Master Khalil's punishment.
It is not surprising that a nobleman belonging to the country would come to see how things are going if he is hostile to an organization as large as the church, even though they have a relationship that is lightly hostile to each other.
In the worst case scenario, Master Khalil may be executed as is.
I thought about taking some kind of countermeasure, but even I, who lived my life in vain, could not come up with an effective countermeasure,
"......”
All I could do was to be alert to the room where Master Khalil and the Prime Minister were so that I could come to their aid at any time.
Truly, I am ashamed of myself. ......
