Chronicles of an Aristocrat Reborn in Another World – the Apostle of the Gods Who Know No Self-Restraint
Episode 20 Inauguration of the Viscount
After his Majesty's explanation was over and opened, he was sent to Cain's mansion by royal carriage. The guard knights sent me.
"Thank you for sending me!"
Cain bowed and thanked the Guard Knights.
"What are you talking about, Cain-san, Cain-san is my fiance's fiance?
"Please come to training again!"
The knights returned with a smile and waving. After entering the mansion and opening the door, Sylvia was waiting.
"Welcome home, Cain-sama, you were late today."
"I was called by your Majesty. Will you come to the office with Koran because of the story?"
"Okay, I'll call you soon."
After bowing, Sylvia went to call Koran. Although it's called Office, it's actually a room for studying Cain. After changing clothes in the room, sitting on the sofa and relaxing, the door was knocked.
"I'm sorry. I'm Koran. I'm calling you."
Koran and Sylvia enter the room.
"Yeah, there's a report, but I was called by your Majesty today, and in the next week's audience, the Viscount told me to look up at one and the city ..."
"Oh! Congratulations! You'll have to call out to the frontier of Garm immediately. So where do you become the lord of the city?"
Koran and Sylvia seemed quite happy that Cain was raised.
"I'm not told about it because I'm going to be told that day. I've heard it's near the royal capital."
"If you're Cain, you'll be fine in any city! Let's celebrate your relatives today! We'll talk to the chef."
Sylvia left the room, skipping over.
"Okay, I'll call you when it's ready."
Corin bowed and tried to leave the room, but Cain stopped.
"Ah, it's a family celebration today, so let's eat with everyone in the house.
"I see. I tell you. Thank you, Cain."
Then Koran left the office. That evening, we had a fun meal, regardless of the maid or chef. Other than me, I was an adult, so I was thrilled if I could give me alcohol freely. Occasionally, Cain thought he needed this.
And the day of the audience has come.
Dressed in formalwear, standing near the entrance between the audience. The aristocrats begin with the duke and work towards the entrance in ascending order of rank. Of course, the new Baron Cain needs to line up right next to the entrance. Garm is in Gracia territory and will not participate this time.
"Then you have a Majesty."
In one word of the Prime Minister, the nobles lined up across the central carpet bowed at once. King Rex slowly entered the room and sat on the central throne.
"Everyone raise his head."
In a word, all the nobles in the line raised their heads.
"So, Baron Cain von Silford, before"
"Yes"
Cain stepped out of the line and advanced to the king, kneeling down.
"Cain von Silford, raise you to the Viscount and rule over the city of Dorintl, which is now under your direct control. You will receive fifty platinum coins as reserves. A dagger that proves the Viscount. From now on, call yourself Cain von Silford Drintl. "
"Yes, I'm sorry. Cain von Silford Drintl, I'm grateful for the prosperity of the Esfort Kingdom."
This time it ended without incident.
"Whether it's Drintl or ... can you rule over there?" "Can a child play with him?"
I can hear such a voice from around. Marquis Corsino, who would normally complain, was laughing.
"What's there ..."
With that in mind, the audience was over. He was passed through the reception room because there was a detailed explanation.
After having the maid serve tea and resting slowly, Prime Minister Magna came in. This time I was alone with my Majesty.
"Cain, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Your Majesty ran away because she didn't want to explain. So only me came."
"... I ran away"
"I didn't want to explain the city of Drintor, because it's a special city."
Cain was anxious about the words. Prime Minister Magna issued a map, pointed to one of them and started explaining.
"It's two days west of the royal capital. There's a forest that isn't as large as Gracian territory, but rich in monsters. There are also a few dungeons, so there are so many adventurers. There are too many adventurers, so the guildmaster has more power than the lord there, nobody wants to do it, and the adventurers are stronger than the guards. There are 3,000 people, whereas more than 1,000 adventurers alone are resident in that city, while there are only a hundred guards in the city. The adventurers are making the difference. "
"Is that the case ...? So the nobles around didn't complain too. Would you like me to govern as you please?"
Cain smiles at Magna.
"... Um. That's fine. This is the certificate of inauguration. Also, I have fifty platinum coins as reserves, so I hope you use it as you like."
Prime Minister Magna gave me a certificate of inauguration and a sachet containing platinum coins, and put them in the item box.
"But I'm still a student to govern, so I can't go to that territory."
"I will contact the school director from the school supervisor, Duke Eric, and I will be free to go to school from now on, but if I only take the exam, I will be fine."
"I see. I'll do my best."
"I'm looking forward to the result."
The Prime Minister left and Cain sighed in the room left.
"Even if you tell me it's a territory, ... this is the reason Marquis Corsino did it. It's just my own territory, and it's all you can do."
Cain smiled after a long absence in the reception room where there was only one.
