Chapter 90: Rebuilding Lester Kingdom (2)
Milton was truly surprised What on earth was their reason for this? Returning their swords? This hts wanted their lord to take back their lord and vassal relationshi+p
“What do you… Did I do soh Milton’s question was unjustified
“That’s not the reason, My Lord”
“Then why are you returning your sword?”
When Milton shouted at Rick, Tommy spoke up from next to Rick
“To be honest, My Lord…”
Their reasoning was…
“You think you lack the skills to be by my side, so you want to wander around the world and train so?”
Rick and To it over with each other, Rick and To They had recently noticed sohts who had joined later than they had While Rick and Tohts froion, it wasn't difficult to find juniors with better skills than their own
Disregarding their abilities, Rick and Tommy were Milton’s oldest aides But, if based on abilities, Jerome, a newcomer, had also becoh other people still respected them, Rick and Tommy felt that the respect was rather burdensoranted a position that their skillset couldn’t reat number of accomplishments, but Rick and Tommy hadn’t really played an active role in the war As a part of Milton’s entourage, they had merely followed his orders, and in Rick’s case, Milton had even saved his life Because his ability as a knight was lacking, he owed his life to his lord Having been taught the knight’s code and chivalry by Sansen, Rick found it shaive er than before”
“My Lord, I feel the sah that I won’t be ashae”
Milton struggled as he listened to Rick and Tommy’s serious request
‘What should I do?’
To be honest, Milton didn’t want to let theh they weren’t Experts, they weren’t an ehts But above all…
‘I’m attached to these two…’
Even before the rown up with Rick and Toether ooden swords under Sansen’s guidance With that kind of attachment and affection towards them, Milton didn’t want to let them leave But then, wouldn’t Milton’s selfishness hinder their potential for further iht to do that?’
Milton sighed
Seeing how his heart and his brain were saying different things, Milton didn’t kno to answer thee topics and turned to speak with Viscount Sabian
“Viscount Sabian, why did you come?”
“I was on ether with them If I had known they wanted to talk about such a serious topic, I would have come at a different time, Marquis Forrest”
“So, as your business with me?”
Viscount Sabian responded with a smile
“Marquis Forrest, please accept me, Randol Sabian, as your vassal and become my Lord”
Viscount Sabian’s business was the opposite of Rick’s and Touess his Master’s funeral must be over now’
When Milton had previously asked Sabian to join him, Sabian had refused because of his Master’s funeral But now that the funeral was over, Sabian had no reason to restrict himself and had come to offer his talents to Milton
“I heard that Her Highness, Princess Leila, tried to offer you the rank of Count and the position as an Advisor, Viscount Sabian”
“I was honored by her offer, but I refused”
“And then you caht, Marquis Forrest”
Although Milton didn’t outwardly express it, on the inside, he was very happy with Sabian’s answer But what could have caused Sabian to make that decision?
Milton smiled as he asked for the reason
“Do you have a reason for choosing me over the Princess, Viscount Sabian?”
“I think the Princess is an admirable and an excellent monarch, but…”
“But what?”
“I have a hard ti her intentions so I wasn’t comfortable”
“……”
“I feel that the Marquis, who is simpler, isa bit too honest?”
Viscount Sabian merely smiled at Milton’s affronted expression
‘I shouldn’t have asked’
In life, there were moments when it was better that you didn’t ask, and it seeh this had been one of those moments Anyway…
“Welcome, Viscount Sabian I will take you and your talents seriously”
“Thank you, My Lord”
There was no reason for Milton to refuse Viscount Sabian Where would he get a tactician of this caliber again? He definitely had to tie him down
“Now the problem is the two of you…”
Milton mumbled as he looked at Rick and To up their swords He didn’t want to let the
But…
‘Letting the to do’
Just as Milton was going to respect their free will and allow them to leave, Viscount Sabian spoke up
“My Lord, I know I just joined, but may I offer an idea?”
Milton turned towards Sabian
“Do you have a suggestion?”
“There is a way to agree to the two knights’ wishes while stillthe lord and vassal relationshi+p, My Lord”
If there was a good option, there was no way Milton wouldn’t listen to it
“Continue”
“Yes, My Lord So…”
The next day
Milton led a large procession back to his territory The Central Are nu towards his territory that had becoees had been left behind to rebuild the capital while the other half was heading down to the Forrest Territory that had been designated as the te the procession
This was because the place they were heading towards was in the opposite direction, they were heading North
“Do you wish to follow them?”
Duke Palan asked from behind them
“No, Sir This was our own decision”
