98 CHAPTER I -- I WILL GET A LAND (2/2)

Can we really get such an amazing place?

Yes, though it's a bit small for a viscount's domain in return.

You picked a good quality place for a small space.

Is that right. So that makes sense.

Even though it's big, I don't think I can manage it, so I'd rather do that.

And I'll leave it to you, Leo, to decide whether or not you want to tamper with the territory. If we don't do anything, I'm sure there's a lot of money coming to you over there, Leo.

Unemployment Income: .......

'I see . Honestly, ...... I'm not hurting for money and ......

I get a ridiculous amount of money every month from Elsie's store.

And since I live in a dormitory, I don't get to spend it. .......

Now that you mention it, I heard you took over Fermor and Company. You're right, you have more money than you can handle. Then you're not afraid to make a mistake, so have at it.

We're not hijacking you!

I've been doing a lot of things, and before you know it, the top has just changed.

Try something: .......

Well, let's see what we can do in two months.

'Yes, I'll ...... understand. I'll figure out what to do when I get over there.

Yeah, I'm counting on it. Tell me what you did later.

Okay. Look forward to it.

Oh, and the name of the fiefdom, you can do what you like. But the name of the estate will be your family name, Leo. Mladin is my current name, by the way.

The name of the estate?

What do I do: .......

'Is that the name of the territory?　You don't mind if it's the same as before, do you?

Yeah.

Mirdine then, please.

Are you sure?　That's going to be your family name for the rest of your life, you know?

''Oh, that's true too: ....... But if we suddenly changed the name of the city, the lords would get confused . Besides, I thought Muldin would be cool.

Leonce Muldeen ...... Well, it's all right .

”Yeah. Well, I hope you're okay with it, Leo. I'll send you the proper paperwork to sign later.

I understand.

We just need to go to ...... and take care of our daughter for two months, okay?

Oh, right. I was the princess's bodyguard as well.

Okay. I'll protect you, no matter what.

As a man, you have to swear to this.

I'll defend you, no matter what the dragons are up against.

Well, that's good to hear. Well, we're in a safe place, so I don't think we need to worry about that. Oh, hey, I need to give you this. Here's some detailed information about your territory. Take a look at it before you arrive at your estate.

And then the emperor handed me a thick stack of papers.

Yeah, just what I needed to kill some time on the road.

Okay. Okay, I'll go now.

''Yeah, you can work hard at managing the territory, but since it's your day off, go and enjoy it.

I understand.

Shelia can't rely on you too much, Leo.

Okay, okay.

You can count on me, okay?

I'll be back in two months to give you a good report.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Then get going.

Then I said goodbye to the emperor and was walking through the castle when a man came walking in front of me.

”Ah, Leo-kun. Long time no see. You're a bit older now, aren't you?　You've come to claim the estate, haven't you?

Yeah, that's right. I'm just going to be there.

Well, we won't be seeing you again for a while. I'm going to miss you.

While talking about it, my uncle hugged me.

Huh?　Was your uncle such a character?

Just as I was thinking this, my uncle whispered in my ear.

”Now you've got a lot of enemies. Be on your guard for the next two months.

”Huh?

I couldn't react because it was so sudden, all I could do was make weird noises.

”Oops, I shouldn't have done that. I have to get to the emperor now. Well, you and Rihanna have a good time, Princess.

Yes?

I'll see you later.

Pops never bothered to talk to me, but I talked to him and he left.

Do I have a lot of enemies?　Can't we let our guard down for two months?

I'm about to go to the territory and I'm too scared.

I'm not going to go after all: .......

Well, that's not going to happen. .......

Let's head out anyway.

What happens from here on out can be found at ...... Yeah, I'll see what I can do then.

I'm sure he'll figure it out.

I've decided to escape from reality.
