65 65. The power of Teru Yagami.txt (2/2)
Claude is cautious.
It's not easy to suddenly gather a group of nobles.
It is not easy to suddenly gather a group of noblemen, because they might have a strange misconception that such a sudden action is intended to embarrass them.
Aristocrats are basically hard to deal with.
''You're saying it should be developed that only the chosen ones will be given the privilege of knowing Yagami Akira.
The emperor was well aware of this and understood Claude's ideas.
Tickle his sense of privilege and the nobles will be easier to handle.
We have to be careful not to bloat their pride too much, though.
''If we let Bartolomeus go on a rampage, I'm sure their puny pride will be erased.
Adrienne makes a surprisingly radical suggestion.
The vizier and Claude chuckled as they guessed why, but the emperor sighed and shook his head.
'It will be difficult. I've given Bartholomeus the right to refuse to work except in an emergency.'
The Crown Prince knew, of course, and that's why I have my doubts.
''I get the impression that you're doing your job well for that. You've been doing patrols at night to defeat the Demon Marshal, and you've also been doing messengers to Sidonier.''
It doesn't mean that you have to be a separate bar, such as a night patrol or a messenger to the same Yagami Akira.
He should be able to exercise his veto power.
After taking these things into consideration, Adrienne thought that Baru would be willing to take on the task.
''Bartolomeus does not like to show off his power. Besides, in this case, we can only tell him about some of the power of the Eight Divine Light. There's no need to bring out Bartolomeus for anything.''
Apparently, the emperor really didn't want to ask Val for help.
Even though they were his own father and son, the crown prince, who was now a vassal, had no choice but to back down.
''I understand. Then I shall ask someone else to do the job. I'd like to ask Manuel and Vilhemina, but will they be willing to take on the task, Claude?
Claude makes a reluctant face at Adrienne's question.
'Manuel basically has no fondness for the nobles. He's likely to take them up on the grounds that he wants to clear his nose, but as for Vilhemina, I can't say for sure.
It would have been a sure thing if Val had asked for it, but it was hard to ask Val for it in the first place.
'I'm sure Ingway would be better, sir.
The crown prince receives the alternative that Claude has given him.
'Right. 'I'll take Ingway.'
That guy would be easy to handle, it was written all over his face.
Claude and the vizier pretended not to notice, but the emperor didn't and coughed to get his attention.
'I beg your pardon,'
Quickly realizing this, Adrienne ranted to the Emperor.
