Vol 1 Chapter 19 (1/2)
It became an uproar
A devil had appeared and it had been subjugated This event was immediately reported to the Royal Castle Well, since Military Personnel were there, they had probably reported immediately When I arrived home, an envoy from the Royal Castle came over
“Welcousto, Julius-sama, Thor-sama, Sicily-sama, and Maria-sama”
“I’m home, Alex-san”
“shi+n-sama, the envoy from the Royal Palace has arrived”
“An envoy from the Royal Palace?”
“It would seem so Because a second devil had suddenly appeared, that event alone has caused a coated it, they cannot afford to not reward the subjugator
“Haaa… It looks like it’s going to be a troublesome conversation…”
“What are you saying, shi+n-sama! Or rather, it’s only natural!”
“Alex-san?”
“When we heard shi+n-saated the devil, ere very worried, but at the same time, we felt really proud! It is only natural for you to be commended!”
Another gatekeeper-san kept nodding his head eagerly in agreement
“I-Is that so…”
Leaving the excited Alex-san behind, I entered the house Upon entering the house, I saw the envoy from the Royal Palace, and Uncle Dis was also there
No, what are you doing? Uncle Dis The envoy was standing upright in attention
“Why is Uncle Dis also here? Can’t you see that you’re petrifying the envoy?”
“Hht it was necessary for me to personally talk to shi+n-kun, Merlin-dono, and Melinda-shi+ face to face”
“Why’s that?”
“Before that… hey, you, envoy”
“Ye-yes! shi+n Walford-dono! A devil appeared, which is considered as a national crisis, and despite the danger to your own life, you nevertheless went to subjugate it! Therefore, in the nadom, we hereby confer to you the ratitude Hence, shi+n Walford-dono, ould like you to attend the investiture ceremony!
He said it all under one breath The randed
“Diseu to use shi+n for political reasons And yet, what’s with this treatment?”
“I also heard you say it… What does this mean?”
Grandpa and grandma are scary Everyone held their breaths at the never-before-felt tense atmosphere
“I caht ask that”
Uncle Dis began to explain the reason why he was here
“This time, a devil had appeared after several dozens of years In the past, when a devil had suddenly appeared, Earlshi+de Kingdoe of its downfall The threat that had accodoain appeared This circumstance has already reached the ears of many people And we’ve also conveyed that it was idoation of a devil is a situation that cannot be kept secret”
“That is so I already knew about What I want to know is thea medal”
“That is, Merlin-dono, Melinda-dono, when the two of you subdued the devil back then, you were awarded a ive an award for the same achievement”
“Hmm…”
“Certainly, it is as you have said…”
I see, when one looks at it, I have accorande if I wasn’t awarded the sarand awarded a medal for the same achievement, however…
“Naturally, there will be some people ould try to use him for political reasons, but I will try to prevent it to the utmost ofthe cererant my selfish request? Not for dorant me this favor!”
After he said that, he bowed his head deeply
“Y-your Majesty!”
“Father…”
The envoy and Gus were both surprised I guess it was only natural Their al deeply towards an elderlya Hero There’s no one ould not be surprised
“Merlin-dono, Melinda-dono I would also like to ask this of you Please grant this request”
“Even the Prince!”
Gus also lowered his head and bowed deeply And when the envoy saw the scene, he also…
“P-please grant this request!”
He also bowed his head
The King, the Prince who is soon to be the Crown Prince, and the envoy; when these three people all lowered their heads, grandpa and grandma both had complicated expressions, but eventually…
“…Haaa… I understand Diseum, I will believe in your words However, the doer have any relations Is that fine?”
“I understand I’m fine with those conditions”
“Also, the King of a country cannot lower his head readily”
“This ti for me to do”
“Even so… good grief, fro”
“Wai—! It’s not my fault, is it?”
“Now that you’vewith shi+n around”
“Umm… I’m sorry… I’m the one who caused all the trouble…”
“You don’t have to worry about it, Sicily The fault lies with this child, because trouble seems to always find its way to him”
“It’s not my fault!”
When I yelled in response, everyone looked at me with sympathetic eyes Wh-what’s with everyone…
“Certainly, he does seeet involved with a lot of trouble The event that just happened is a prime example If possible, could you tell me the detailed information of what exactly happened?”
I ih it was , the others would add their input fro the account of the event And then…
“An artificially made devil!?”
Uncle Dis was greatly surprised However, I felt that he wasn’t surprised because he had heard so unbelievable Why is that?
“Are you certain of that?”
“No, it’s just a speculation as of now I have no conclusive evidence to prove it”
“Hmm… This is…”
Uncle Dis had an incomprehensible expression on his face Of course, this is only natural after hearing such a thing
“shi+n-kun, Augusto, Thor, Julius, Sicily, Maria, and everyone else I’ order on this information You must never reveal it to anyone Do you understand?”
And so, ere forbidden to share this information
“I understand, but I’ve already spoken of this information to my classmates in S Class and the teacher?”
“We have to deal with this situation right away Dispatch a er to each individual, and tell them not to leak the information”
“I understand To be honest, I really want to let everyone know, but…”
“I’m sorry, but I have to deal with this problem as quickly as possible”
Thus, Uncle Dis i the ceremony, it looks like they will contact us on a later date
And so, the investigation pertaining to the event has started It looks like the House of Ritzburg will also be investigated However, the fate of Cart’s father has yet to be decided
When one looks at it, it was just Cart going out of control However, because Cart was placed under house arrest, it was their responsibility to guard and supervise him, but they didn’t even noticed that he had escaped
Nevertheless, since there was a possibility that Cart was a victiiven to the House of Ritzburg It see would be taken under consideration
However, it is certain that Cart’s father will resign from his position as the Vice Minister of the Financial Bureau Would the family then return to their main estate? This was the question of the majority
Every single nobility in this Kingdom has their own territory If so, why do they live in the Royal Capital, and work for the government?
The reason goes all the way back to the founding of the Kingdom At that time, when the country was recently founded, those who provided commendable service received various territories and status of an aristocrat Nevertheless, those families still continued to stay in the Royal Capital in case of any revolt The actual ement of their territories was left for their Stewards to handle, while the families lived and stayed in the Royal Capital for more than half a year
This was not co the nobles voluntarily did, or so it seeh it was not a crime for aristocrats and their family members to not live in the Royal Capital, it seemed that they would receive extreme amount of criticism from other nobles if they didn’t
By the way, Sicily’s, Maria’s, Thor’s, and Julius’ Houses all have territories
The territory of Sicily’s House is at a foot of a , and apparently other nobles have villas there It is a fa, it seee tax revenue, or so it seee amount on road construction, more and more people come to visit the town each year
The territory of Maria’s House is located at a seaside tohere the fishi+ng and shi+pping industries are prosperous The place is quite popular a toith its delicious dishes, especially seafood And because the shi+pping industry is thriving, it makes the town all the more exotic
The territory of Thor’s House doesn’t seem to specialize in any production With that said, they focus on training craftsmen, and the products from that town form a brand
The territory of Julius’ House is surrounded bythe su the winter, one can ski in the mountains The area is outlined by a white sand beach as far as the eye can see There are also s such as the resort facilities, resort hotels, high-rise condominium, and various others nobles and other people with status seems to spend their holidays on this land
The resort of a Samurai…
Because there areabout visiting the territories one by one during our long vacation
I’m quite interested in the Samurai’s resort…
The next day, I wondered what to do with the escorting duty, but in the end, it proceeded as usual
The reason is, me
“Hey, hey! Look, look! It’s shi+n-sama!”
“So he is the new Hero-sama, huh…”
“Whoa… How cool”
“I wonder, who are the people he’s with?”
“As expected of shi+n-sao with”
“How enviable…”
Right, Uncle Dis had explained it yesterday; the people of Earlshi+de Kingdom already knew about the appearance of a devil and the person who subdued it The reason why the people in this country have great respect for grandpa and grandated a devil in the past, so when another one appeared and their grandson was the one who subdued it, it was easy to i to approach ht that if Sicily and Maria were together with me, not too many people would try and approach
By the way, this plan was concocted by grandiven their approvals
“Sicily, Maria, I’ you wrapped up in all this commotion as well…”
“It’s not a problem at all Please don’t mind it too much”
