Vol 11 Chapter 207 (1/2)

The Fourth’s Era

Within the Jewel

Worn and ragged, I clung to the Fourth in tears

“I can’t go on any longer Is there any chance you could lend e?”

It was almost teeks since the start of cultivation, but the results were terrible

Failure, and failure Even if things were going well it would fail, and starting again froain hat made up the time

In the round table room, the ancestors and Milleia-san made expressions as if to say, ‘oh dear’, as they looked at me

The Fourth stood, and beckoned to me

And he started off towards his roo around, the ancestors just o

Milleia-san was soodbye

“… He could’ve at least said so”

Mur the door, I found the scenery different from before

The Fourth’s rooenerally displayed a one-way road that extended beyond the horizon But today, there were carts, andthem

The young Fourth… Max issued orders to those around

But the atmosphere wasn’t very pleasant

『What is theof this!? Just what did you use a majority of the prepared resources on!?』

The ones being told off were the people of the new addition to the territory One of its leaders came forwards as a representative to speak with Max

『The truth is, the villages needed so here isn’t particularly urgent, so we lent it to them If the need arises, we’ll definitely be able to prepare more』

In his teens

Young, and having just becoht of Nor as he was a feudal lord, one wouldn’t take on such an attitude of contempt

Standing beforethe way, the Fourth looked at his past self, and sighed

『Good Goddess, thinking back, just as I doing?』

“Why did it come to this? Whatever the case, that isn’t an attitude to direct at a feudal lord Arbitrarily using up resources is…”

That was a crime where you couldn’t complain if you were executed on the spot It wouldn’t even be strange if whole villages were to be punished for it But before an annoyed Max, the other party smiled

『It’s not like this project will go well anyways If it’s going to be wasted, then it’s best to put it to effective use』

『The Walt House is an upstart House after all I can understand why they’d feel impatient』

『Now then, we’re busy, so we’ll be taking back some of our manpower』

The people acting of their own arbitrations were being glared at by the people behind Max But there was a difference in numbers

“… Those ere residents of Walt House land from the start, and the ones included in the newly expanded territory It looks like ditch had formed between them”

It was a terrible plot of land

While there were rivers flowing over the place, the banks had collapsed, and unable todown

The villagers who dragged themselves out of the flow looked at Max in annoyance There, one of the Walt House’s knights put a hand on the hilt of the sword at his hip

Max held him back with a hand

『Max-sa that attitude of theirs!? Those were materials prepared by the Walt House They’ve even boldly declared their theft of it!』

I could hear sis

The Fourth made a bitter smile as he looked upon the scene

『How truly unreliably Back then, I thought all territories would be the sa from our founder, I was the Fourth Generation Head… the Walt House was already splendidly put together At baronet scale, ere small, but we had a city, and were relatively prosperous But you see, when the territory suddenly expanded, none of the rule we had at the tihtest』

It wasn’t just the representative To get together the area’s s And for better of worse, the citizens of the Walt House recognize the House as their lords

『It was hell It was able to get by to that point, but the territories where the Walt House had no credibility ht of us I troubled my head over how to deal with them, and the paperwork that multiplied itself all at once… no, it really was hell It’s not like the people of old Walt Territory could just say, ‘I stole some resources’ with a s to make some elaborate joke there』

I couldn’t deter to show me I understood it was a harsh time, but what relation did this matter have to the current predicament, I wondered

“Um, how is this memory related to this time’s cultivation matter?”

There, the fourth smiled

『Lyle, what do they say about me in your time?』

『The one who spent the longest term as lord in Walt House history, adept in domestic administration…』

In all actuality, the Fourth had carved the foundation for the Walt House that had risen to baron status Unlike as Baronet, where he had a central city, and some towns and settlements around, the one who first had to hold an outlook on a vaster territory, and work on developing it was the Fourth

The Fourth looked around aardly

『Yep, now that’s e But while I may be referred to as such, it was really a buildup of failures as you see here Failing as I attempted work beyond my hands, I watched my credibility fade away』

And the scene changed

In a roo docu a peek, it seems the town leaders had reported quite the dubious matter

“… Is it just me, or have they raised a report of a child’s quarrel? “

When I said that, the Fourth laughed

『Hey, those actually coe the also puts ent with them However, there really are a lot At the tih retainers, so it was nothing but work』

As that was happening, a h From his looked, I assumed he was the Forxuz house’s head of the time

『Max-sama, you canst push yourself so hard Your mother is worried for you』

Max raised his face, and after identifying the man as the Forxuz head, he nodded

『I understand… no, I already knew that』

Revising his words They took on the for with a subordinate The Fourth explained

『Up to then, it had been rohborhood But since ere Barons, those around us suddenly became vassal-state like existences to us There were territorial changes going on at the tie territory besides us The land ere to , and we had to look out for our parts Truly a trial, that was 』

The Fourth was definitely laughing, but I couldn’t see it as a situation anyone could laugh at From this situation, the Fourth built up the Walt House… the fact he for to look like a miracle

The Fourth looked at the Forxuz House’s head, with a little sorrow

『… The reliable neighborhood uncle suddenly became my subordinate, so I had no idea how to interact with him What’s more, he was really, really cooperative So I can’t help of returning the favor whenever I hear the Forxuz naht up』

The scene changed

It was a se But it was quite devastated The fields were a , some places on fire

Max gathered up hands, and assisted the recovery effort
