A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 500: Marquis Sardari Part 3

(Is that what I want...)

Reurus murmured in his heart at the words of Marquis Sardari.

I look at Natalia, but even if I look at her, she doesn't say anything. I'm sure Reurus is urging us to translate our own wishes into words.

Natalia would have given Marquis Sardari some reason to be “inconvenient” in this case, but she didn't seem to open her mouth against her expectations.

"What would it be? Money... is subtle because it still doesn't seem to convey much gratitude. If you want, I can give you some of our territory...? If you're going to be a Baron, you're going to be on another land, one village, no! I'll screw up the rest and let you own one of the towns!

Marquis Sardari says what he thought of the silent Reurus.

Is it just a lip service or are you serious? As for Reus, I want to look behind him when he tells me that even one of the towns he owns can be transferred.

(Me... no, you're putting “us” at war...? Or pure generosity? Dammit, I don't know what I'm aiming for because I'm too evil.)

He seems to have an easy-to-attach personality as a Reurus, but he is noble as Marquis Sardari. Reurus guessed that there was a target, but the target was too unreadable to make a judgment.

Still, if Reurus has something to wish for right now, it's...

"A little... no, can I say something rather rude?

Reus threw away the thought of falling into a muddy swamp and confronted the Marquis of Sardari straight away. Then the Marquis of Sardari blinked several times, and then pounded himself in the stomach.

"Hmm! We were the first ones to do the“ injustice ”of handing over unwanted things instead of needing them! I swear on my family name, I won't blame you for anything you say!

Reurus saw Natalia only once after hearing the words. Natalia nodded slightly when she smiled bitterly at the sight of the Reurus. You mean say what you want to say.

"Now, if you'll excuse me... honestly, I don't think my position is important as long as I get a knight or a baron. That's why, to be honest, there's a lot of trouble in this case."

"Hmm...."

When people want status, they're angry, and their faces are about to turn bright red and beat. However, Marquis Sardari only slams his gavel with a serious expression.

"I know a Baron Collard, but when I look at him, I don't have the education, the knowledge, the abilities or the experience to match the title. Even a knight seems to have it, and I don't know what to do when I become a quasi-bar."

This is the true truth of Reurus. It is a story of the fallen Syrah, but I would like to refuse even now if I can refuse. That's because it's troublesome to be in a position, but more than that, it doesn't have the “ability”.

"Even if you say you can own a village or a town, I feel sorry for the people I rule over. I'm an adventurer. I'm the only one who can do it."

"The merit of the“ cut and stretched ”was a recommendation because it was so excellent... I wonder if a good samurai could be a good lord. I think you might be able to get around."

"Hahaha, I'm glad you said that. But all I want is to continue my current life... open up Baron Amondola's territory, make noise with my people, spend time with my family... that's all I want."

As a realuse, life today is more fulfilling than enough.

Continue the development of Baron Amondola's territory, so that the friends of the abandoned city of Laval can live a “normal life” and live together.

That's good - "That's all” is good.

After all, the generosity of Marquis Sardari in recommending him to the Knight is no more than a nuisance. The Marquis of Sardari is fierce against Reurus, who made a speech equal to that.

"Hmm... this is it! Baron Amondola is a very loyal minister... no, I found a“ companion "! Hmm! I don't think our minister is inferior, but as long as I envy him!

---that's not true, but somehow I started tapping Reus on the shoulder like I cared.

"No, I'm really jealous! It's not a doctrine to withdraw the foreword, but if you serve my family, I'd be happy to welcome you in and let you marry my daughter... no? Are you sure you can't?

No way.

"Mum... I'm sorry! I envy Baron Amondola!

The Marquis of Sardari regrets that he seems to be treading in vain. But as soon as I raised my face, I nodded as if I had been good at it.

"Well then, let's try to keep you under Baron Amondola... no, let's try to stay with" friends and family "! Even if the territory is granted, measure it so that you can negotiate with the Baron of Amedora and have a portion of the territory ceded!

If you say so, Marquis Sardari looks back to Natalia.

"I wonder, Baron Amendora! As for you, I'd like to put aside the handcraftsmanship of Lord Reurus! Of course not for free! It's hard to get far from the Marquis of Sardari, but let's talk to the merchants in southern Mataroi and get the materials delivered!

"Our territory is huge by comparison to the throne... if you're beside someone you can trust, you'll never go beyond that."

With the momentum of Marquis Sardari, Natalia can only deepen her bitter smile. However, as for Natalia, it was very helpful to say that Reus would stay with him or in the neighborhood even if he gained the position of associate baron.

In addition, it is a fact that Baron Amondola's territory is too wide compared to the position of Baron. We were planning to transfer some of it to Collard in the future, but even if Reurus were added there, it would still be too wide.

Although the development of Baron Amondola's territory has progressed well, if the court finds it too spacious, it doesn't matter if it decides who to assign it to.

Well, let's do it! The rest of us will speak to the nobles we know! No, I'd rather go and talk to her right now... "

"Milord, first of all, the entertainment of Baron Amendora."

And Marquis Sardari, who was about to run away, could be stopped by Malto.

"So? What did you think of Marquis Sardari?

Return from the residence of Marquis Sardari. Reurus in the carriage raised his eyebrows when Natalia shook such a story.

No prior information has been received from Natalia regarding the Marquis of Sardari. No matter what his personality was, it was only a matter of meeting him. Nothing in particular, because it's “okay” to meet.

And he didn't say anything - he probably didn't have to.

"I've met a few nobles before, but... is it true that he's collecting the nobles of northern Mataroi?

Remembering the face of Marquis Sardari, Reurus asked.

Since I was in the position of Marquis, I thought I might be the cursor behind it. However, when I opened the lid, I felt “that way” from beginning to end, and as a revulsion, I felt like a shoulder waterfall.

Marquis Sardari, but I don't feel bad about seeing him. Rather, it was a person who made a good impression on me to the extent that I thought it was good to know him.

However, when the Marquis Sardari was told that he was gathering the nobles of the north, he leaned his neck. I feel uncomfortable considering that I am in the same position as the Marquis de Grimar, who holds the aristocracy of southern Mataroi.

The Marquis de Grimar had a noble appearance, and it was not surprising that he obeyed other nobles. But I can't honestly nod whether Marquis Sardari had such an atmosphere.

Natalia laughs bitterly at what she thinks when she sees a worrying revulsion like that. It was a pure, unsubstantiated, bitter smile from the bottom of my heart.

"Isn't that strange? Some people call it" the incompetent ", but what do you think?

"For the nobles, the back is too small, and the reverse is scary...?

When Reurus answered, Natalia turned the bitter smile into a pure smile and erupted. Natalia giggled and laughed, and Nicolas, who was steering the carriage rope, trembled and the carriage slightly rocked.

"Because I'm noble, there must be something behind it... you're not the only one who thinks so. Some of the court sparrows are wasting their time watching out for him."

"I try to read the back, but there's nothing behind it, and that leads to vigilance?

"On the contrary, I tried to read it to the back of the back, but there was nothing to confuse me. But because of its straight temper, even“ that ”looks like an act... if you're aiming for it, you're a great actor."

Natalia was laughing with tears at the edge of her eyes as to what was interesting about Reurus's remarks. Reurus wondered what Natalia looked like, but now it's about the Marquis of Sardari.

"Is that guy after you?

"Well, what do you think? All I know is that he doesn't have such an incapacity as to be called by name, but he doesn't have such great abilities. I can't use magic, and I also like swordsmanship. As soon as you get on the horse, the horse will make a sound. They often leave it up to them because they have excellent ministers."

"... you're really the Marquis, aren't you?

With the exception of Marquis Sardari, only Marquis Grimer and Sophia were known to Reurus, but the latter two appeared to be capable of standing. Natalia puts her hand to her mouth and laughs happily when she asks if it's rude.

"Fufu... it's definitely the Marquis. And the aristocrats in northern Mataroi don't complain about him standing“ up "... do you know why?

"No, I don't know. I know you're not a bad person...."

Even if you don't have the ability to match your position, the nobles around you don't complain. That seems to be an anomaly in a sense, but Natalia seems to have a different view.

"I know some of the aristocrats in the north, but they were saying something interesting. If Marquis Sardari says so, I can't help it, if Marquis Sardari asks me to... say so."

"... you don't have the ability, but you have hope?

"Yeah... Marquis Sardari said that, too, didn't he? My family minister is amazing. That's why the minister is following me. Instead of following the surroundings,“ I can get help "... very rarely, but some of them are nobles. This is one of your experiences, isn't it?

That's what Natalia laughed at, but there was a part of Reurus that fell into her heart.

He was the one who could say he pulled the trigger for the Baron's recital this time, but there was no wonder and anger. Face to face, even though there were ambiguities, I thought, "You're unlucky."

"Nobles usually think of their homes first. This is the same for the nobles of the north... but strangely, I try to move in consideration of Marquis Sardari, the second and third nobleman of the other house."

"You didn't ask me to help you?

"That's right. After watching the Marquis Sardari move, he wants to reach out, either directly or indirectly, like," It's going to be a bad thing, so let me get a little help. "

Natalia herself, the Marquis of Sardari, who talks like that, doesn't seem to have any bad feelings about it.

"Is there such" protection "... no, there was no magic at all, and that was vegetarian"

Reurus thinks it's really rare. It's not that there's a charisma that I want to follow, but there's something that makes me want to help. And that's what your innate personality makes you do.

"First of all, the originator of your narrative has told me about your allies. On the contrary, they're going to help the aristocrats in the north, so even if the aristocrats are up to something, they'll be able to keep it down."

Natalia laughs when she says that, but she's happier and happier than usual. When he noticed it, Reurus leaned his neck and asked.

Are you strangely in a good mood? Was Marquis Sardari so happy to welcome you?

With that in mind, Reurus recalls the “welcoming party” that took place at the residence of Marquis Sardari.

Many of the dishes prepared were exquisite, including fish that had been caught in Lake Mercena and the Leté River frozen by ice magic and brought all the way to King's Landing.

Also, when Natalia told me that she was ashamed of herself, but that the maids and butlers were not well educated at all, she had Corona present who could not attend, and showed me how Marteau and the others were doing.

The cooking corona rounded her eyes and asked the maid beside her about it. Do you think she could have had a difficult experience as a Natalia?

In response to such a revulsion question, Natalia looked away and distant.

"No, that's not true. It's just...."

Natalia moves her lips slightly. It was too small a whisper to be heard by the rest of Reurus, who were still in the carriage.

"--I 'm glad you said that“ life is more important than titles. "

The words murmured with deep joy were misled by the sound of the carriage moving forward and disappeared.
