Chapter 7 (1/2)

Rapid growth of influence

「First, letyour Job Even without the increase in power a Job would give you, you have fulfilled your duty splendidly U-Undoubtedly, even a our clan, is the best achievement It's s-splendid」

As expected, there wasn't a sain at Neville Castle Because the person to whom he always bothered has achieved more than he was supposed to

And treating as an idiot someone who is not, would mean that the person in question does not have the ability to distinguish between theed It serves you right

There is no ry so I will keep quiet what I wanted to tell him

「The one who has dispatched the feudal lord's brother as an eency to the fortress, it is none other than the feudal lord hi has happened exactly as my brother has planned There is no doubt that father in heaven is also praising you」

「I-Indeed Yeah, that's how it is」

Geisel became happy easily There is no doubt that he is easy to deal with hi so simple

「Then, according to your rant you a reward So far you have not had more than half of the territory of the sive you the other half of that village In total, you will be the lord of three villages In addition, you will be granted the rank of Baron You can take the nae and call yourself as Baron Haruto」

「I gladly accept In addition, I' for the sake of Neville」

Unlike viscount rank, the Baron rank is not hereditary That is why there is no proble an eye Also, since our sht to distribute viscount ranks

Besides, a viscount itself should have as a plot of land one county but the a more like a small feudal lord, half of a county

The Sawiru Kingdoion by prefecture called administrative unit And each prefecture contains at least 10 counties

Basically, those lords who have not less than half a prefecture possess the rank of Count, and for those who only have a plot of land of at least one county are confined to the rank of viscount

I will not say that the Neville Viscount House is so fragile to the point that a blow could make it disappear, but it is a power that could disappear the next day

If I ht away and succeed the position of viscount Although it is true that I hate my brother, but if a si the feudal lord, and then gives an order like the one he gave me before to defend a fortress with my life, then my life will be always compromised

But it's not like I can cause a rebellion right away and win it I don't have a just cause either

ーーDon't get iin by building his foundation It takes a lot of effort to get the first prefecture, but it is easy to obtain five or ten prefectures Sooner or later, your ti defeated Iawa Yoshi+moto

That's what h I don't really knohat those names means

But is it really true that his guy is harmless? I feel like this is similar to the stories I read as a child where the devil came to whisper

ーTo your disappointment, I don't have that kind of powers At best, I can only enjoy watching you beco a Monarch

It see me, so I think it's okay?

After finishi+ng my audience with my brother, I decided to e control

Although I have received three villages and recognized as lord, the treatment I have received has beenended well

Upon returning toI did was to visit my sister Altia

「Onii-saain」

My sister started crying the moment she saw me
