Vol 5 Chapter 7 (2/2)
Many citizens cheered when she ascended to the throne, driving away Duke Gerhardt froe
For a long tidom was ruled by the nobles’ tyranny
Although privileged class existed in all country and was so inevitable, every since Duke Gerhardt held the real power, the condition of this country was extremely harsh
Meanwhile, the change of government happened
(But well, I guess this is so that is to be expected…)
For the people who had lived a suppressed life, the presence of LupisWithout knowing that such thing was just a fantasy
It was impossible for Rick as an adventurer to analyze rong with Lupis reign, and he also didn’t have the intention to do so Only he felt the current Rozeria Kingdoerous state than at the ti the civil war
In the guild, there was no dees had begun reinforcing their vigilante groups
Everyone had seemed to realize that a storm was about to come
And right now, a Rick’s clanabout
That h he was a new face, he had more ability than he would let show
His ability as an adventurer ht be low, but when it comes to his individual proficiency alone it was comparable to the middle ranked members of the clan
As the guild staff said indeed, he was a pro man
However…
(A newco us… If it was only that, then it should’ve been so But, was it truly coincidental ?)
There was nothing wrong in particular if such man wanted to become a mercenary or adventurer and wished to join a clan as a mean for a stable life
The problem was if such person joins for some other hidden reason
(I should consult with Anastasia about this…)
Rick didn’t regard himself as someone stupid
His views as a person had expanded considerably since he had become the clan’s head, but his nature was that of a warrior, his true talent was for battles
Negotiation with merchants was not his forte Thus for him, the existence of Anastasia as the deputy head of the clan can be regarded as the clan’s brain
She was born as an illegitimate child of a noble family, and cohtful and considerate towards other people
“Oi, Lloyd, are you still there ?”
When Rick called the person, a ed man immediately opened the door
“Do you need me, boss ? Is your job finally done ?”
His eyes shone with expectation A face that was expecting certain words fro boy anted to go out for an excursion
“That’s not it, stupid There’s still a lot of them…”
Hearing Rick’s merciless words, Lloyd’s hope was crushed
“Is that so…”
A sunken expression appears on his face
Today was Lloyd’s duty to guard the head of the clan, which was kinda a bad luck for him
His duty was to follow Rick as the head and help him with some chores, and also as security
Which meant, unless Rick’s work is finished, Lloyd needs to keep hiht
“Lloyd, you won’t be able to drink tonight… Just give up, anyway, go and call Anastasia now… She should be in her room by now…”
“I understand… Geeez, why did my turn coincide with this kind of
this kind of party… Since I will give up on going out oood food after the head’s work is finished, okay ?”
“Fine, fine… I will let you have drink as much as you want later Go and call Anastasia now…”
Sending away the Lloyd who looked displeased, Rick directed his eyes towards the ceiling
(Well, I can understand his feelings…)
Rick hiuard hiiven her advice to do so as deputy’s head, and seeing her suggestion had saved Rick fro his head multiple times, he could not stop the policy now…
In reality, when one beco involved with politics
A celebration for finishi+ng a big job Even for Rick, he could understand how painful it was for Lloyd who couldn’t participate in the party with the others From Rick’s point of view, had he not have the job as clan’s head, he would’ve already juht
“I guess this is part of the job, haaah…”
Saying that Rick took out a cigar and sighed a little
————————————————————————–
“She’s late… That Anastasia, what on earth is she doing ?”
Rick looked puzzled while s
According to Lloyd’s report, it see was kind of bad
Although Anastasia said she would be here immediately when he knocked on her door
Anastasia was a strict person It was rare for her to …
When Rick thought whether or not he should call her once again, the door was quietly being knocked
“Head, I’ you wait… May I come in ?”
Listening briefly, it was her usual bewitching voice
However, Rick instinctively could feel that there was soht tension in Anastasia’s voice
It can be said that he felt that, because she was his coether with him
(Did she get threatened by so soh tension within her emotions)
“Sure, come in, Anastasia… ”
Rick allowed Anastasia while having soht in his head
“Then, please excuse me…”
The door opened slowly
“I see… So that’s how it is…”
Despite wanting to say that she was late, the words that came out from Rick was different
After he saw thebehind Anastasia
That day, the talks proceeded until ht Only the three of them kneas the content of the discussion
And that day was the turning point where the Clan [Clouds of the Azure Sky] would undertake active jobs in Rozeria
After several ears of history would start to turn with creaking noise… With human blood as its oil
