Expectations

(Part 3)

Several days later

Called for by Hector, Frank headed to the Lord’s Mansion with Ilya

A , so he wanted hie

“Aah, it’s been a while since we last met, hasn’t it”

The person who cadom’s Prime Minister, Luciano Conti

For the Prime Minister to leave the castle so often, is he a fool? Moreover, he didn’t bring guards again this ti by his own foolishness, but it would be good if he thought about his responsibilities

Receiving Ilya’s glare as she thought about that sort of thing, the Prime Minister smiled

“Please don’t look at , after all”

He was hard to deal with exactly because he still did things like this after thinking about the, but is there a policy to go by so that they’d rear another one if he didn’t work out? … Is what Ilya wondered

“We’ve been relying on the guild a lot lately Please, don’t think too deeply about it and take it as the repayment a favor”

It did see i to not read into it, the truth was that he was telling them that there were expectations attached to it

Inn toere usually located close to tourist attractions This was done with the intention to attract custoh the Snow Festival that they had held beforehand This would cause a tourist facility to be built without the country having to spend anything For the country, this was an unexpected blessing
