A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 434 Cliff's Apology.
"Your Highness Cliff, may I call you?
"Is Takeo here?
Ashton's son says goodbye here.
While Ashton is away, he will represent the Lords.
And when Cliff explains, Ashton's son comes to thank him.
Takeo also gives thanks and his son just goes to his own horse.
"... will Lord Ashton accompany you to the King's Capital?
"Hmm... will Ashton at least come to the town that passed my eunuch and entered the kingdom?
The rest is to be determined.
And Cliff says with a bitter smile.
"... Lord Ashton.
What are you saying to your grandson?
"Oh? Did His Highness Cliff tell you?
"Yeah, even for me, I know there's a third person who hears your grandson's view of marriage before anyone in the 1st Crown Prince family hears...
Why are you going to Wang Du?
"Alice, the bright red one, is coming to Wang Du, so I thought I'd see her.
He recently got engaged.
I'm telling you to talk a lot and spread the word.
And I didn't think you liked anything that was going to be engaged to Fresh Red.
Whoa, Lord Kitamizato was under the command of Count Elvis. Keep this story to yourself. Ahaha! "
And Ashton laughs.
Takeo turns his smile to Ashton.
I'm stunned when I sneak up on Cliff, and when I look at Meyer, I'm facing the day after tomorrow with my whole body.
"... Lord Ashton, don't you have to tell your son?
Sometimes about the Katlanda Empire. I think you should keep in mind.
Takeo urged Ashton.
"Well, my son won't think about it a bit later, because it's going to work. Let's be sure.
Now, Your Highness Cliff, I'm leaving the field for a moment.
and Ashton goes to his son in thanksgiving to Cliff.
"Well, Your Highness Cliff.
Takeo speaks with his arms together and his face not pointed at Cliff.
"Yes..."
Cliff is slightly droopy.
"I don't feel very good when people say things about my fiancée in front of me?
It's only the first time, so you can laugh, but the next time... when you say something like that in front of Miss Alice... tell me which Knights of the King's Capital is hosting the welcome ceremony next, right?
Takeo turns his serious face to Cliff.
"Takeo, I'm sorry.
"Yesterday in the first place... is Viscount Ashton selling me fights?
"Takeo, I'm so sorry.
Thanks for the conversation in the carriage about me... and the novel saying I was sweet with Takeo... I was pushed yesterday.
Yeah, I told you, I'm not willing to sell favors to the Takeos, and I'm not willing to use Victors' advance in politics.
Would we have talked about that in the carriage?
It's about Takeo, I don't care if he likes Takeo because he won't take care of it as if it's a dispute between nations.
But also know that in my position, if there were other nobles, we would have to be tough on Takeo on the surface alone.
Cliff bows his head gently.
"As for Ashton... I think he's probably speaking without thinking about it.
It's already a habit to talk too much about what you think. This has been around for a long time.
Besides, that's true if you put it well in the Takemen lineage... and I told Takeo, 'Crack and Decency'.
Cliff says with a tough face.
"Okay.
In the future, if there were occasions when you said that, please pass on His Highness Cliff's true intentions to me via Mr. William because it would be good afterwards.
If you don't have a message, take that word as Mr. Cliff's heart and it will work.
"Okay. Neither I nor the royal family are willing to antagonize Takeo.
Let's do it right.
Cliff nods honestly.
"And yet, Alice, since you didn't mention the lady and me beforehand?
"Normally, I thought I'd be crude when Takeo's title and Alice's engagement story were communicated at the same time...
I'm only asking you to call me over and listen to me.
Besides, Takeo knows about the Elvis family's subordination and title circular.
Thought I wouldn't say those things even if I thought... but I knew you weren't decent enough... "
Cliff sighs.
"Because I will not say anything to Viscount Ashton from me.
"Oh, I'll explain it here.
You want me to go apologize?
"No, I'll assume that the hand pushes through his own thoughts.
Must be home style up there, martial artist? You won't change your mind any time soon.
I don't care if you just apologize to me...
If you have time to come and apologize, Alice, you should let me think about your words to the lady.
"Well... if the same thing happens next, will there be a welcoming ceremony in Wang Du?
"Yeah, you're looking forward to the welcoming ceremony for Wang Du.
Are you Me, Mia, Cora Parents and Children, and Gina to Victor this time?
I guess we'll all have to attend the welcoming ceremony.
Your last escort was the 2nd Knights.
Is this the 1st Knights?
"Lord Cliff, I think I will say that Lord Alice will definitely join us when Lord Kitamizato is motivated.
"Right...
I already ran out of money at the last welcoming ceremony.
New funding will not be ready yet.
Takeo, I'm sorry, but I appreciate you postponing this welcoming ceremony.
"If that's what the organizers are going to say... is it?
"Okay, I'll tell him.
"Your Highness Cliff, please.
Takeo thanks Cliff.
And Ashton is coming back.
"Thank you for waiting.
Not right away, but I've instructed you to discuss this with the soldiers while I'm away so you can thicken the security structure in Seoul.
And Ashton came to report.
