12 Chapter 12: Hero’s Chronicle, Rica Reform Plan (1/2)
”Father” Glass said as she entered her Father's office.
”That was some display” Maxfield said as he leaned back into his chair
”I thought you to be upset” She sat down on the sofa and took a bit of the cookies from the tray left in the table.
”You have been kicked out of society, Glass” He responded, he wasn't mad about it.
”My brother has been a disappointment as of late”
”Unfortunately, so” Maxfield signed ”High grades means nothing when you can't apply it.”
”You mean it means nothing when he can use magic properly.”
”Your Marriage has also been annulled”
”Yes, it has,” Glass said with a smirk
”It makes you that happy.”
”Should it not”
”Hehe, your brother must be waiting to hear what your punishment is.”
”So, will you punish me?”
”I just want to know what your next plan is”
”Blur province and Salver province have been completely remodeled, now with two provinces flowing with a high amount of funds, I must work on we two remaining. I plan to go to Rica province as. Lately I have heard its been worse for wear. And do some side-jobs while I'm there. Of course,”
”Oh”
”Father, what do you think of the running factions of this country.”
”They will one day split the country apart,” he said sadly ”Do you have the same opinion.”
”Yes”
”Even though you control the neutral faction.”
”I'll leave for Rica two days from now, Afterall, I don't want to disrupt my father's newly married life now do I” Glass smiled as she walked out of his office leaving a somewhat red-faced Maxfield behind.
[One Week Later]
Glass arrived at Rica as the Feudal Lord Representative. In other words, she is governing this territory in her father's place. She was taking a bath as Sara came to attend her and admire her beautiful form.
”Do not stare so hard Sara” Glass said simply
”I apologizes, my lady, you are so beautiful that I could not help it”
”…After this, I would like to speak to Sebastian. Could you please make an appointment?”
”Certainly.”
”And Rain when does he arrived”
”He arrives tomorrow with a few others from Mercs and Bodyguards guild. Do not worry they are all people you know and have come for your protection.”
'Deacon wasn't to send them to protect me.'
Not long after she had gotten out of the bath and walked into the Mansion study.
When Sebastian entered the room, he was dressed stylishly in a swallowtail coat. Even though he was moving briskly, he didn't give the impression of someone in a hurry. Instead, his movements looked beautiful… In addition to a head full of gray hair, his appearance is the definition of a certain dazzling butler from that one show.
”…You appear to be quite busy, I apologize for calling you in spite of your busy schedule.” Glass said calmly
”Nay. By all rights, it should have been me who should have given you my greetings, I apologize.” Sebastian responded a Sara poured a cup of tear
”Now then, without delay. Could you please gather and present to me the reports of the territory's income and expenditures for the past three years?”
”I respectfully obey. However, what will you be doing with it?”
”I will be reading all of it, of course. I have, after all, accepted the
”Feudal Lord Representative” position given by the Duke. However, although I'm ashamed to say this, I currently have no information on how the territory is being managed or the present situation. Therefore, can you please give me one month?”
”One month, you say?” Sara had left the room as Glass had nodded to her to bring a different batch of tea.
”Yes. Because it is necessary for me to read all the reports, and to also inspect the land.” Glass responded.
”Certainly. However, if you wish to inspect the land, it will take approximately one week to make necessary preparations.”
”This time, to grasp the present condition, I intend to do the inspection incognito. Therefore, I'll only need the minimum number of people to accompany me. Because I can vouch for those members, I will not need to trouble Sebastian.”
”I asked a presumptuous question, I apologize.”. ”Not at all. Although I will be managing the territory from now on, I will nevertheless give you an important position. So please feel free to give advises.”
After Sebastian left, Sara who had left earlier came back in.
”Rain has arrived earlier than they said”
”Send them in.”
Sara nodded as she walked out and brought in Rain and two others about their age.
