Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Second story, visit to the territory.

Because I was so scared of what my uncle said before I left the castle, I was wearing Anna and reading the documents that the Emperor gave me in the carriage while I had them watching me around.

(Hey, are there really any suspicious people or demons around?

(Yes, I don't see any such people or demons at the moment)

(Right...... Continue monitoring please)

(Yes, I did. I'll tell you if you need anything)

(Yeah, please)

After so many exchanges, it took me about two hours to finally finish reading the documents the Emperor had given me.

"Ugh, I finally finished reading"

"Good day. You looked anxious, but what did it say?

"Huh? Did you look anxious? I didn't mean to."

You were on my face...

What do I do... I don't want to make you two anxious...

"I'm suspicious of that reaction. So, what territory was it? Could there be a problem?

Boulder Leena...... I wonder if it's hard to hide through. Well, how do we delude it?

"Eh... the previous lord was stripped of his territory about fifty years ago for embezzlement, and he doesn't seem to be here anymore. Since then, they've been running it by the state. Everything seems to be a super important place for the Filibels and the Boardrells, so only an empire in a fair position could operate."

"I see... that's been a tough place for a long time."

That's right...... Maybe you could get caught up in a power struggle...

"Well, I don't even have to worry about that much. That's all the anxiety elements are, and the Empire was just running it, and it's a good place to be well managed. Besides, it's like a city where commerce is developing, as they say, because imports from the godland and kingdom gather there, and things from all over the world gather in Murdine."

"Really? I'm looking forward to that."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too"

All right, I misled you well.

Then we traveled by carriage for two days and finally arrived in the destination city of Muldeen.

It was a beautiful city, and it seemed like it could afford money. And the most amazing thing would be that people and carriages come and go so much that they can't beat the commercial district of Teito.

People who came and went felt like they saw it. There were many merchants as well as adventurers.

Probably the adventurers who make requests across countries.

City according to the information I had received earlier... that was the feeling of my territory from inside the carriage.

"Beautiful city. Will you live here in the future..."

"It was. We'll be living here in a few more years, too."

"That's right. I'll make it a better city by then."

I guess since I graduated from magic school...... about six years from now.

By then, I'd like to do whatever I can.

"I'm looking forward to that. So, where are you staying today? You don't have Leo-kun's house on the rocks yet, do you?

Oh, speaking of which, you didn't tell me yet.

"Oh, I see it. That's it."

That's what I said, and when I pointed out, they pointed that way.

"" Huh?

Looking in the direction I pointed out, the two of them voiced surprise unexpectedly.

That would be...

"It's a lie, isn't it? Because that..."

In the direction I pointed out, a fine castle is built.

"Yes, there's a castle here. The previous lord seemed so stupid that he used the extra money to make his house a castle. Is this one of the reasons why we couldn't give this territory to the nobles?

If a rebellious aristocracy against the Emperor takes over this territory, it will be a good base for fighting the Empire.

For that matter, I'm guessing on my own that I could have gotten this land because I'm like a person who's decided to marry Shelly.

"If you've scattered so much, you'll find out about the embezzlement."

"On the contrary, I wonder why you left me so far behind."

"It was just a noisy time with the emergence of the Demon King, so maybe it wasn't the right time."

Even in those times, the kind of territory my lord could scatter has become mine.

"I see... Well, as a result, we're going to be able to use it, so thank you."

"Sure, I appreciate that."

Then when we arrived at the castle, the carriage door opened.

It was the butler the emperor had arranged for me to open the door.

"Nice to meet you. You, Deacon?

"Yes. My name is Edwan, Deacon. Best regards,"

"Yeah, nice to meet you. More manpower than that? This castle is huge, so it's hard to manage, isn't it?

"Deacon, the maid, so far, so good. He just wants a couple more cooks."

"Okay. Later, I'll bring you from the Imperial House. Anything else bothering you?

I wonder if the cook can be brought in by the end of the day if he uses the metastasis.

Let's leave the candidate to Mr. Sam.

"No, nothing in particular"

"Okay. Well, let me take a look inside."

"Yes, let me show you around."

We walked into the castle, guided by Mr. Edwan.

This castle, it was amazing just how it looked from the outside, but it was also amazing inside.

Maybe it was so beautifully decorated that it was no less than a castle in the imperial capital.

I wonder how much the previous lord used for this castle......

"This is Mr. Leonce's room."

The room I'm going to use is lavishly decorated and feels like a lord's room.

"Wow, that's huge."

"Look. Great view."

Leena called me in, and when I looked out the window in the room, I could see the beautiful streets.

"True. You can see the realm. Still, can I get such an amazing place..."

Me, I'm not going to give you that much credit...

"Well, take what you can get. For that matter, I hope you work for the Empire."

When I was a little worried, Shelley said so, banging me on the back.

"I see..."

You mean you're looking forward to what you're going to do, commensurate with this reward...

What do we do...... in the meantime, do our best to manage our territory.

"Heh heh, Shelly's working for the princess."

"Si!"

"Hmm? What?

"It's nothing. Besides, can you show us our room, too?

"Yes, there's a room across the street for your wife."

Ladies......

Not yet, not because I'm not married...

Well, don't point out that the two of you seem obsessed with the room and unaware.

"Wow, this place is huge, too. Leo has to talk to Lena here while he's at work."

Oh, speaking of which...

"Uh... even at work, will you stay close?

"Yes, fine... will I stay out of your way?

"I won't. There will be only a few things you can do in the first two months, and I don't think you have to worry about that much."

For real, my uncle tells me not to be alarmed, but it's too scary for both of us to be out of sight.

"Okay. Let me stay out of your way."

Boulder Leena, it helps that you haven't asked me about the details.

Maybe Leena knows what I'm thinking.

"You don't have to worry about that much. Then let's go to the next room."

Even if we're talking about this any more, let's not do it because it just makes you two anxious.

Later, we need to find the 'enemy' my uncle said...

"Okay. Next, the bedroom."

Then the bedroom, which was guided by Mr. Edwan, had another luxuriously decorated large bed.

Something tells me you're restless and can't sleep.

"This is the bedroom used by Lady Leons and his wife."

"Wow, that's a big bed. It's big enough for the three of us to sleep."

"The three of us..."

As for that...... let's just say no comment.

"Uh... let's go check out the other rooms for now. Oh, yeah! Let me see the bathroom."

A bath is the most important thing, isn't it?

"Okay. The bathroom is located down this staircase."

That said, the bathroom I was shown was still luxurious and very spacious.

"Oh, I knew it was wide! And we'll have to modify it later."

The bath here would also need to be modified because it looks like it uses disposable magic equipment to put hot water in the tub.

"Oh, is that the one that turns it into a hot spring?

Yes, it's that remodel we did at the house in Imperial City.

"Is that it? What are you talking about?

Speaking of which, Shelly wasn't there then.

"Leo-kun's creative magic can make it a bath with hot springs flowing. It makes me tired, it restores magic, it has a beautiful skin effect, it's amazing."

"Skin Beauty Effect!? That's amazing. I look forward to the bath."

"We need a demon stone to remodel it, so when we bring the cook in later, we'll bring it from the house, right?

"Then you can do it by tonight, can't you?

Well, you can travel in an instant.

"Yeah, I think I can. Then we'll go home again in the afternoon."

So I guess I'll do a castle remodel in the afternoon.
