A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 587: Sorrows and Happiness Part 8

Count Doria parks the carriage and stands in front of the rental house with the soldiers.Judging from its appearance, it is likely that it will reach 60 years of age after its mid-50s.

Originally small or with no curved back, the height is slightly more than 160 cm.Her face is engraved like an annual ring because of her age, and her hair dyed in a white color is bald in the middle.

(Even if they said it was my previous life in my 80s, it might have worked... or that dress...)

Hmm, Reurus leans his neck small.

I saw dirt on the hem of my pants and shoes, even though it seemed like I was wearing quality clothes that suited my status as a Vicomte.There is also some dust on the jacket, and even though it is a rental house, it can be said to be a little "ugly” to visit a noble house elsewhere.

When I checked with the soldiers, it seemed that their clothes and shoes were dirtier than those of Viscount Doria.The carriage also has a noticeable stain on the wheel and front, giving the impression that it is rather dull as a reuse.Most of them seeped their faces and tired, and some of them looked so exhausted that they were about to fall.

As he approached while observing the Viscount Doria, Doria also looked at the Reurus.Then he checked the family crest of Baron Amendura's house engraved on the carriage and put the soldiers on standby and stepped forward.

"I'm sorry I blocked the way.Baron Amondola, I presume?

"Excuse me from the carriage... yeah, that's right.Are you sure you're Countess Doria?

First of all, Natalia and Countess Doria, who “recognize” each other.

"Yeah... I'm sorry I didn't even mention the first messenger.I arrived in King's Landing just now, but I heard that on my way to our villa there is a house rented by Baron Amondola..... "

With that said, Count Doria's gaze is turned towards Reurus.The gaze then moved and turned towards the carriage of the Count of Werg.

"The Viscount of Werg... was it the Count now?Is it true that Sebastian is in charge of the family?

"... it's been a long time, Viscount Doria."

Hearing the words of Count Doria, Louis peered through the window of the carriage.However, his face was faceless and he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in.

"... it's been a long time, Louis.No, should I call you Count Werg now.... "

When she saw Louis' face, Count Doria looked like she had crushed a bitter bug.It wasn't due to malice, but rather to awkwardness.

Louis seemed somewhat uncomfortable to see Count Doria like that.In some cases, Louis was not even willing to quit a fight with Viscount Doria, but Viscount Doria came to talk about what her daughter and grandson “did.”

From Louis' point of view, Viscount Doria is the grandfather of Selas, a half-brother and sister, and from Louis' own point of view, he is also the "right person” to call his stepfather.

I'm sorry to hear that the other person was so exhausted.I'm going to ask for all kinds of relentless and appropriate compensation for Serras, but that's it, this is it.Reurus frowned at Louis' silence, but wondered in his heart.

(I mean, Lewis succeeded the governor, but the Viscount Doria didn't replace him at all... so this is the main one coming to King's Landing, right?

I don't suppose I would be reminiscent of sending a famous man on the case of Seras.In that case, there may be some reason why the old man in front of him, who is already in hiding, holds the presidency of the Viscount Doria.

At least for the next generation, Reurus wondered if it would be strange to give up the governor to become the son of Countess Doria.

The conversation between Lewis and Count Doria progresses while Reurus has such doubts.Either because he was the same master or because he respected the difference in age, Louis got off the carriage and confronted Count Doria head-on.

"My granddaughter... I'm really sorry about what Seras did..."

And Count Doria lowers her head to Louis as lightly as Reurus would have expected.The apologetic Lewis distorted his mouth to say something, but shook his head and turned to Reurus.

"Beyond being the head of the Count of Velg, it makes sense for me to receive an apology for the damage my family has done to Ruvillia… Shouldn't I apologize to your direct victim, the Baroness Varza, before me?

(Even if I shake it there... I can't help but ask...)

First of all, Louis says it would be reasonable to apologize to Reurus, who is a more complete victim and a direct victim than Ruvillia.Even though I thought that was right, I don't mind if you ignore it until the situation settles down, but I think it was a revulsion.

When Countess Doria looks at Reurus, she looks at her narrow eyes in surprise, whether they are due to age or fatigue.

"Oh... then... no, excuse me.Reurus said you became a baroness the other day?

"Yes... Reurus, no, Reurus-Banet-Mardo-Valza.His Majesty the King just approved the family name and crest. "

"I'm glad to hear that.Let me call you Baroness Varza..... "

That said, Count Doria exhaled deeply and lowered his head toward Reurus.

"Baroness Varza.We apologize for the inconvenience our Seras caused... and for the delay in bringing us face to face. "

…………

I would never sit on my feet, but Count Doria would bend her hips and lower her head.Looking at the figure, Reurus silently sends an eye contact to Natalia.

(You can still accept this apology... eh, no?Ah, if you apologize by just lowering your head, you don't have to struggle, if you're sorry, you don't need the police...)

As an associate baron, it was a Reurus that was counted as one of the quasi-naristocrats in Mataroy, but the family alone would not be enough for the historic aristocrat, Count Doria, to lower his head.

Still, it seemed less resistant than just lowering his head to a civilian - perhaps that was what Count Doria was after.

(It's not like you're talking about lowering your head where it gets to be seen...)

I don't think so, Reurus watches silently.Then Countess Doria raised her head and raised her eyebrows in an unfortunate manner.

"Of course, I didn't come here to apologize by hand.I think the exact amount will depend on future discussions..... "

With that in mind, Count Doria looks at the carriage he was riding.

"First of all, about a hundred gold coins... oh, as far as the soldiers are concerned, I think it's dangerous to have them accompany me not only on the way to King's Landing, but also in King's Landing..."

As to how he received Reurus' silence, Viscount Doria presents the “settlement money” and explains why the soldiers are accompanying him.

(... well, we need soldiers just to go down the street.Especially when it comes to carrying a lot of money... if it's a word of mouth, it was quick)

Thoroughly, it doesn't seem that I got into the boat complaining about Seras' case.

For the first time, we have received information about a case that Seras did in King's Landing, collected enough money to collect, packed it in a carriage, and traveled with the guarded soldiers - that's probably where it was.

(But a hundred gold coins...)

As a revulsion, it feels like the senses are fidgeting, but it's a lot of money.I might have been surprised if I hadn't been informed earlier that there would be a reward worth 400 large gold coins.

(How about this as a settlement... is it reasonable or small... for me and the Count of Werg to put together this amount in the first place...)

Does it depend on future discussions, including around it?I don't think so, but if you accept it in a circumstantial manner, it is possible to claim that a settlement has been reached.

It was a headache about what happened, but Natalia opened her mouth to help it.

"I understand the intentions of Viscount Doria.But I think we need to talk about it in detail.Besides, did you come to King's Landing with a forceful army?Why don't you take a good rest for today, put your thoughts together, and then decide after tomorrow?

"That's... no, will you let me sweeten your words..."

When Countess Doria sighs tirelessly, she sees if Reurus and Louis have any problems before boarding the carriage and leaving with the soldiers.Reus, who dropped it off, turned to Natalia after he lost sight of Count Doria's carriage.

"I agree with you that it won't be decided soon, but what are you going to do with your time?

"It's no big deal.In one day, we may be able to gather more information about you, and we may also be able to gather information about rewards for defeating the dragon.Then what happens to the settlement money that they “should prepare”..... "

"... they might lift it on their own.Eh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. "

I was thinking about saving more money and what to do, but there's not enough money to develop Baron Amondola's territory.

"That's a compliment. And then... it's time for you to intervene through the story, or the Marquis de Grimar, the southern aristocracy, could bend your navel.You should at least have one chewed. "

I'll show my face later, I'll add, Natalia.The area is also within the realm of "root rotation”, but as a revulsion, you can only raise your hands.

(The compensation is fine just now, so I want to stay away from King's Landing and relax....)

And it was a revulsion that I so desperately hoped would never come back.
