Chapter 472. In the process of inheriting the territory


    (1)


    After a suddenmotion.


    Chestel''s paroxysmal verbal abuse, which embarrassed everyone in the castle, was barely quieted for a moment.


    However, Duke Lesnel was not given a chance to breathe.


    It was the other children who disturbed his mind this time.


    “Lunian… What did you even do?”


    “Ah... Father... I don''t know what happened either.”


    The eldest daughter, Runian, was restless with herplexion turning blue.


    When he heard that he had returned from the aristocratic family to which she had been married, Duke Lesnel almost lost his ability to speak due to a headache.


    “I heard you were verbally abusive and ranting.”


    “That... that''s true, but I didn''t do it!”


    Runiained of her injustice.


    But they weren''t the only ones who witnessed it.


    He even threw a vase right next to the nobleman''s face.


    In the end, the noble who took Runian as his concubine sent her back to her parents in a fit of rage.


    “My mouth moved wildly and my hands… moved as if they didn’t belong to me… believe me!”


    “Do you think that makes sense?”


    The aristocratic family also hired a magician to examine her directly, thinking that she might be someone else''s duke.


    The conclusion is ‘nothing wrong''.


    Rather, for some reason, it was concluded that he was healthier than usual.


    “Are you, following Chestel, saying such nonsensical things?”


    “yes? What about Chestel?”


    “....no.”


    There''s no point in talking about Chestel.


    Duke Lesnel was sweating inwardly.


    ‘...What happened to this?''


    At this point, I can''t help but feel something out of ce.


    something suspicious


    But there is no evidence, so it''s just frustrating.


    “I will speak separately.


    Runian, stay still.”


    “Yes… I understand.”


    However, Runian''s expression was not very bright.


    I know why.


    To be honest, that aristocrat is not a man of very good character.


    He has his own money and influence, but as if it is inversely proportional to that, he is truly lousy as a man.


    Of course, Runian must have been treated poorly as well.


    I wondered if it might have piled up and caused amotion.


    ‘Hey, I''m weak.''


    However, it is inevitable for the family''s revival.


    It is a natural duty.


    Being born into an aristocratic family, it is unavoidable.


    So he didn''t have to say anything else.


    everything for the family.


    It just needs to be revived.


    ‘...I have a bad feeling.''


    It feels simr to when you look at the sky that looks like it will rain soon.


    And his hunch is soon toe true.


    The day I chewed popcorn every day while watching the confused Seldilga.


    Today, for some reason, that territory was quiet, so I stopped by the main store of the Arnil Company in the territory to do something else.


    I also wondered if they were working properly.


    There are also things to deal with.


    When I entered the main store, Elliom, who was busy with work there, noticed me and hurriedly lowered his stance.


    The fluffy-looking hair on the ears, which is unique to a mixed blood with a beastman, stands out.


    Good ears today.


    “Ah Arell Ernesia-sama! What are you doing?!”


    “…First of all, get upfortably, Elliom.”


    Isn’t that the reaction of someone who has never seen anything?


    can''t ie


    “It’s nothing special, I just came to see if you guys are adjusting properly.”


    “ah. Was it something like that? Phew, he finally stopped his tension, and Elium let out a sigh of relief, sweeping his chest.


    “I thought something else was wrong and I was getting fired.”


    “Will I still do that anyway?”


    Toddler.. ha ha ha ha ha.”


    I can''t help but be nervous.


    Before he moved here, Elium was really in a business that swept people away like that.


    We couldn''t stand and talk, so we moved to the guest parlor and had a serious conversation.


    “So, have you all properly adapted to Sanghoe?”


    “Of course I do. There is nothing for Arell Ernesia-sama to worry about in that respect.”


    Elium answered at once.


    After Budell''spany finally copsed.


    As for the innocent merchants, I tried my hand to be naturally absorbed into the Arnil Chamber.


    And in the case of Elliot, he evaluates his efforts and qualities, entrusts her with a part of this ce and watches the condition.


    After that, if you do well, you will be entrusted with bigger tasks.


    “Aside from me, everyone who works here is giving thanks to Mr. Arell.”


    “Hmm, is that so?”


    The merchants who moved here were in a position to be sucked in by the Budell Company just like Elium, so it''s only natural.


    “Still, I came here because I needed to check it out.”


    Did they properly adapt to the new environment?


    I was also worried about myself.


    Still, it will take some getting used to.


    During that period, it is rather helpful to not snoop around if possible.


    don''t forget


    A good senior is just asking for water!


    It''s just an existence that throws a budget every day.


    I want to live like that too.


    I want to ignore all the annoying things and live like that!


    I water!


    In any case, he deliberately found Elrium after a considerable amount of time had passed since then.


    I never forgot!


    “Then, is ‘That Guy’ properly adapted?”


    “Ah... is that what you mean?”


    Ellium softened his ears as if he was a little perplexed.


    You''ll know who I''m talking about right away.


    I''m just afraid to tell the story.


    Just then, he entered the drawing room with tea.


    He was also the one who moved here from Budell''s store.


    However, in his case, he was caught here regardless of his will.


    Keigin, who was the former treasurer and secretary of Budell''s.


    nce.


    He silently puts down the teacup and nces this way.


    Just looking at it, it''s looking into my eyes.


    Well, from the looks of it, it lookspliant.


    “As you can see… he’s doing his job properly here too. Isn''t it?”


    “...Yes, it is the mercy of Areel Ernesia.”


    Aren''t you feeling very grateful?


    Elium must have noticed that, but he deliberately pretended not to know.


    And Keigin listens to Elrium obediently and obediently without any sign of resistance.


    What can I do?


    Unlike other merchants, Keigin works here to pay for what he did.


    The reincarnated person, Keigin, was the main culprit who sucked up the sweet water by using the Budell Company''s liquor at the time.


    Originally, it would have to be punished.


    Realizing that he had nothing to do with Harial, I pondered over his treatment. In the end, I decided to leave him here to work.


    However, Elium did not know the circumstances up to that point.


    He must have just thought that Keigin was a member of the Sanghoi Corridor at the time.


    His property is confiscated to thest, and the rest is mercilessly exploited until the price is paid.


    Under that condition, she agreed and decided to keep her mouth shut.


    “Mr. Cain? Did you properly finish what you asked for yesterday?”


    Still, if you listen to their conversations to see if there are any personal points, you can see that her tone is a bit sharp.


    I can''t help it. It is his self-employed gain.


    I have no intention of leaving him free, at least until he pays back for what he did.


    There is also a purpose to rehabilitate.


    “is it? I''m d everyone is working properly. Um... Can you step aside for a moment, Elliot? And Keigin will stay for a while. I have a story to tell.”


    “yes.”


    Elyom meekly withdrew from his seat.


    Just staring at Keigin when he goes out makes me imagine how he''s usually treated.


    Yes, resentment is a deepw. Whoop whoop.


    When Elrium stepped back, Cagin''s shoulders drooped, as if something had finally eased.


    “you? How can you make her more difficult than me?”


    “...it can''t be helped. And now that is nothingpared to usual.”


    “Hahahaha, you are hated properly.


    Well, that''s the price you pay for what you''ve done.


    Should I endure it?”


    Keigin makes a slightlyplicated expression.


    Yes, that''s why I got you here to work face to face with them.


    It is aw that you can realize the mistakes you havemitted when you face them yourself.


    He is still a kid who has never done it right a few times in his previous life.


    I n to make him face his karma in earnest.


    if that doesn''t change


    I have to deal with it without mercy.


    “Putting aside the problems with them, they seem to be doing things right.”


    I also heard the story from my uncle.


    Keigin''s skills are quite good, and his mind is clearly spinning, so from the point of view of the higher society, he is quite a useful talent.


    In fact, as he was manipted and eaten, his ability to run the business became sharper.


    “I don’t know if there is…


    Cagin showed a somewhat limp attitude and gently pointed at his neck.


    A ck choker is worn around his neck.


    “If I neglect it, my neck will be blown off without remorse.”


    “I’m d I didn’t forget.”


    With a smile, I said, “Never forget. Your life depends on it.”


    he emphasized again.


    If you have any useless thoughts or make mistakes in thepany, that choker mercilessly warned you, ‘I will kill you in the most painful way.''


    ‘What a lie.''


    Actually, that''s the ne Fry wore when he was little.


    By analogy, it''s just a dog cor.


    Oh, should I say a griffon ne?


    There''s nothing I can''t make such an artifact, but it''s annoying.


    Because even a kid like that can get caught up in a lie like this.


    I''m already looking forward to what kind of face he will make when I tell him the whole truthter.


    For now, leave that forter pleasure.


    The reason I left this guy alone is not to say warm words about how he''s doing.


    It''s because there is a dragon.


    Keigin seemed to notice that much, and soon returned to his serious attitude.


    “Have you heard of the Principality of Ruin?”


    “The Principality of Ruin... That''s a name I haven''t heard in a while.”


    Ohh?


    “Did you ever mark the spot?”


    Keigin''s method is to parasitize on a trade that is good for sucking honey in moderation, suck on this and that, and theny the rest on a greedy idiot.


    And if it was the family head of the Principality of Ruin, it would be enough to guess that he would still be a target.


    “...Hmm, actually it''s the opposite. Rather, the Duchy of Ruin was excluded from that nomination. Around that time, I thought about abandoning the Budell Company and going into hiding. It wasn''t even worth discussing as a candidate.”


    “huh? Is that enough?”


    “In the case of the Principality of Ruin, the foundation there was too messy. I had nothing to take with me.”


    Even when I looked around Yeongji at that time, I got the feeling, ‘Somewhere there''s a strong sense of hopelessness.''


    “But why are you there?”


    “ah? It''s nothing. If I just brought up the story, that would be it, right?”


    “…Ah, are you trying to destroy that ce?”


    “Are you okay?”


    what am i the final boss? Why am I destroying it''? I''m just trying to pay it back by creating chaos?


    Just let it confuse you and watch it while eating popcorn?


    “Anyway, look at this.”


    I pulled out something and showed it to Kaygin.


    “This?...”
