Chapter 3 Episode 33

Night time, Day 12th, 6th Month, the Year 2813.

The moment Yuria opened the door, she instinctively frowned.

The moment she entered the room, a vulgar smell entered her nose, aphrodisiacs fragrance scattered here and there.

He used the incense imported from the central continent, that was said to have an effect just like v.i.a.g.r.a.

It was obvious as to what had happened inside the room.

Earl Salzberg seemed to have enjoyed his entertainment gaudily.

The Earl's disheveled self who was in the middle of drinking wine while sitting on the sofa were a proof as to how intense the act was.

On the corner of the room a maid was lying on the floor, after Yuria told her to fix her appearance, the maid immediately left the room.

Because what she was about to talk with the Earl were something that the servants should not listen.

-

”Dear... You sure have a lot of fun huh?”

Yuria sat on the sofa and gazed at her husband eyes who were sitting in front of her.

Even though it was the gaze of his wife, the Earl's expression did not change at all.

Furthermore, his wife did not seem to be angry either. She only felt a slight disgust. -

”Fuuuh... This is the only way to entertain myself... Fumu, this wine is delicious. How about you have some?”

Earl Salzberg drinks his wine once again while relaxed his posture.

The color of the wine remained inside the gla.s.s was red.

It was the finest grape wine harvested in the kingdom of Ernestgora, it was aged finely after being kept under proper temperature control.

The Earl was in a good mood enough that he opened the wine bottle that he had regarded as a secret treasure of his.

”Geez... To be honest, I can't feel optimistic like you...”

Hearing his offer being declined, The Earl laughed at Yuria who spoke some words while frowned.

The Earl knew what his wife was worried about.

”Is that so? To be honest, I think the future would be more interesting now...”

A visage of a strong man appeared inside the Earl's mind.

The Earl's expression looked like a person who looked down on someone from high above.

Then the scene where he met Mikos.h.i.+ba Ryouma during the daytime appeared inside his mind.

”That man was really easy to use... It seems like the subjugation of the pirates went smooth as well. He is more usable than that stupid Queen...”

”I know that but... Do be careful when you play with a sharp weapon like him since it might turn against you one day, you know?”

Within Yuria's words, one can feel her worry that the sharp weapon might turn against them one day.

”I certainly won't deny that. However, I can eliminate him anytime I want. That's why I should use him while I still can, don't you agree?”

He sounded like someone overflowed with greed.

But, despite that, his head was filled with cold calculation.

Being able to obliterate the pirates was a proof that Mikos.h.i.+ba Ryouma had the capacity to maintain security.

Even though monsters were still wondering about, people would still gather if the one ruling managed to maintain public order.

In other words, it was obvious that the development of Wortenia peninsula was possible.

And unexplored territory holds many possibilities.

Despite the territory belonged to another person, Epiroz which situated near the Wortenia peninsula still can expect considerable benefits.

Earl Salzberg had never thought of getting rid Mikos.h.i.+ba Ryouma.

He understood that it was better for him to use Ryouma than getting rid of him.

Just by having Ryouma kept the peninsula at peace, the Earl would be able to reduce his military expenditure which usually being used for countering the monsters invasion.

Although it won't completely make it disappear, it will without a doubt reduce some of the burdens.

Along with the great potential which the peninsula hold in the future, the current situation was a great advantage for him.

Given such situation, the Earl had no reason to eliminate Mikos.h.i.+ba Ryouma at this stage, and he also did not wish to break the current flow.

Yuria nodded in silent while listening to the Earl's words.

She did not have the reason to overturn the Earl's decision...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two months had pa.s.sed since the time Mikos.h.i.+ba Ryouma obliterated the pirates.

As the season changed into summer and the scorching sun was s.h.i.+ning on the sky, a group of 100 people headed toward the south while opening the forest.

Those people were divided into three units.

One unit had the responsibility of cutting off the trees, and harden the soil.
