Black Haired King

"Ah! Welcome home, Master Redius! That was late...... and Mr. Lopo!? Why are you here!?

Rona picks me up when she realizes I'm back, and she jumps on Rona. Lorna is quite surprised that Lopo, who would otherwise be in Count Territory with the Helenans, is here. Well, I know how that feels because I was surprised, too.

Rona, holding Lopo tight and stroking him, lets him snort like he noticed something and comes closer to me. And he started smelling me. Hey, what?

"... Master Redius, you've been drinking? And I smell a woman. Were you going somewhere to visit?

And that's what Rona said. It's nothing to hide, so after going to my sisters' house, I'll tell them that I went for a drink. Don't forget to tell her that I didn't know it was a place to drink while talking to a girl. Rona was half-hearted, but took Lopo back to the back.

The store I went into for a drink showed my badge of proof as a guest of the country I had to a soldier passing nearby and let him catch a debt taker.

I know it's their job, but it's annoying to get busted in a store, so they caught me because I was involved with nobles. The debtors, who found out I was noble, were blue-faced, but, well, I told the soldier to release me once I put him in jail for about a day, so he'd be fine. After that, it's the store's problem. I'm not the one who talks.

So I said goodbye to the counes, but, well, I have a feeling I'm going to see you one of these days. Especially the coune. I don't even know my sister.

"Lady Redius, would you like a glass of water?

I sat on the couch in the living room thinking about the store and Rona brought me some water. Receiving it, Lopo, who was under Rona's feet, walks up to her desk. And then he shows me the bag he would have carried. You mean look.

Drink up the water and return the glass to Rona before fishing the bag that Lopo carries. There were some letters in the bag. Seems to be split between senders. One was Helena, Patricia and Christian in three.

Victoria is probably still in King's Capital. There's Cecil, and Master Beatrice is still in the king's capital, and I guess he's with me.

I cut the seal of a letter from Helena first out of three. The content was about Hellestia's growth and the status report, but one of the things that bothered me was that someone had raided the mansion.

It says that several soldiers have died, but no injuries appear to have been sustained by everyone, and that one of the intruders is being captured and interrogated. That by the time I was looking at this letter, I would have made him confess somewhat. The last thing it said was that you wanted to see me soon. I want to see you soon, too, Helena.

Then cut the seal on Patricia's letter. The contents of Patricia's letter began with a status report, as in Helena at first, with various contents. Helena wrote in detail, but Patricia's letter also said about the raid.

And the one thing that bothered me most about Patricia's letter was the beasts' health. He had about a few when he still wrote the letter, but he was excited to try to attack some heterosexuals who were nearby.

He seems to have punished and talked internally because it was not the people, but the soldiers, who tried to attack him, but the beast man who attacked him said he was excited to see the opposite sex and couldn't contain it. It doesn't matter between men and women. She was diagnosed with having an episode, according to the doctor.

... We need to take immediate action on this. Even if the beasts say that there is a wall between the beasts and the inhabitants of the city, if the beasts strike the inhabitants, the trenches will be too deep to be filled. We need to find some way to deal with this.

Cut the seal on Christian's letter with his head on a newly emerging issue. Christian's letters were all about territorial management while I was gone.

We have been notified by His Majesty that we will be delaying the end of the war, so we appear to be preparing for the scheduled date. Well, your majesty knows I'm not the lord either. You won't be able to tell me to do it without you.

Then I was curious to know that it says that there are people with dark hair gathering in the Count's territory. Rona and Miley are the only ones who have seen dark hair since birth. So little dark hair.

The fact that those dark-haired people are gathered in my territory is probably because there is a territory where I am made up of eighty-nine dark-haired people up to the Count, Rona, who is attached as an assistant, and Mirei, who is a former but queen's maid.

Maybe he thinks, too. Sure, there's no discrimination compared to other territories, but I'm not going to give you preferential treatment just because you have the same dark hair.

It would be nice if you were doing the right thing, like Rona and Millet, and have some ability, but if you're here to protect me because I have the same dark hair, I need to do something about it.

My ultimate goal is to ensure that I can be recognized without being discriminated against because of the color of my hair, whether it's dark hair or whatever, but that's assuming I'm trying.

It's what I want to do so that I don't have to be discriminated against because I'm brunette even though I'm trying, and that doesn't mean treating brunette preferentially.

"Lady Redius, what would you like us to write about?

When I read through Christian's letter to the end, Rona asked me, holding the lopo and squeaking and stroking it.

I give three letters to Rona. Rona receives and reads the letter when she carefully lowers Lopo. In the meantime Lopo has gone somewhere through the window. Well, he'll be back soon.

"... Lady Redius, these letters"

"Oh, there seems to be a lot of problems going on. Let His Majesty Torness see you tomorrow and let you go home."

I don't think I have time to rest.
