I was pleased to hear that people wishing to emigrate were approaching the Pigseed border area, but I didn't know that there had been a river bandit attack on the "Manazon River".

The river bandits in the area between the Pigseed Frontier Territory and the Count of Helsing, upstream of the Grand River Manazon, were not worried because they had destroyed them before, but it appears that there were also river bandits in the area between the Duke of Sayburn and the Marquis of Cobalt.

I was shocked by the report of this river bandit incident... and I'm getting angry.

But... calmly, I don't suppose it's still a frequent occurrence because my buddies' networks haven't reported it yet.

If that's the case, you'll get some kind of contact.

Queues from "River Dolphins" and people who work in "Iseed City" should be able to fill in reports.

People in Ised City will hear a lot from people who come as immigrants, so there should be dangerous information like that.

Considering this, it may have been a critical moment for us to have just been harmed and to be in real danger from now on.

I'm really glad I noticed now.

I asked the queues of River Dolphins to patrol the Manazon River to the south for a wide area.

These rogue river bandits must be defeated!

I'm gonna blow it all up!

I'm gonna get you all!

"Can I help you with the Manazon River Bandits?I think it's a problem for the Sabahn army to crush the Ajits in the Marquis of Cobalt, but I will crush them as a merchant.Instead, I would like you to deal with the captured river bandits.Originally, I think it should be handed over to the Marquis of Cobalt, but it seems troublesome..... "

I made such a suggestion.

"I thought you'd say that.I'll take care of the river bandits, if you'll do it.If the Sabahn army leaves, it could cause a little friction.I'll take care of the river bandits I caught. "

That's what the Duke of Euphemia said, smiling.

"Master Euphemia, I'm actually here with Sana, the second daughter of the Baron of Cheba, who is guarding the City of Hikoba in the Marquis of Cobalt."

That's what Zenita said and brought Sana here.

The samurai, Sana, is the most powerful player in the martial arts tournament and is supposed to serve in the Pigseed Border Territory.

He went back to his home once to get permission from his father to serve in the Pigseed Border Guard.

A few days ago, I was sending you a flying dragon.

"Hikoba City" is located across the "Manazon River" and can be said to be opposite the "City of Sei Sei", so it is a short distance using a flying dragon.

Looks like you got your father's permission to come home.

If they disagreed, Anna Borderman would have gone directly to persuade them, but they wouldn't have disagreed because they took Anna Borderman's letter home.

Late last night, he went back to the City of Saisei and was the first to come to Coliseum this morning.

"Originally... the problem of the river bandits should also be solved in the Marquis de Cobalt, and we should take on the captured river bandits... embarrassed... but in the current state of the territory, it may not be smooth.I'm sure you can ask Yufemia-sensei...However, if it is the City of Hikoba, which my father protects, I think I will take over the river bandits without any problems.As stipulated, there will also be a reward... if the amount is large, the lord may enter the spear... "

Sana gave me an opinion that I couldn't say.

"Well, I guess so...."

The Duke of Euphemia nods with a reluctant expression.

"I'm sorry. To be clear... even my father doesn't seem to be able to predict what the lord will judge.Engaging with the Marquis of Cobalt could certainly be a troublesome situation, as Mr Grimm said.The current administration is in a terrible state, so more and more people want to emigrate to the Pigseed Border Territory.The lord is not happy with it and seems to be doing something like sabotage. "

Sana said with a painful look.

"What does sabotage mean?"

I was curious and asked aggressively.

"Yes, he's trying to avoid leaving for various reasons, such as non-payment of taxes.Some of them get caught and put in jail.In the "Cobalt of the Realm," it looks as if there are no people trying to migrate, and there are other cities under strict control, depending on their protection. "

Sana dropped her shoulder.

I was stunned.

Terrible lord.

Putting your bad governance on the shelf and torturing people...

I can't forgive you...

I'm not the only one who thinks so, and everyone here has a tough look.

"Absolutely, the Marquis of Cobalt is in trouble...Why should I give it to you.... "

His Majesty the King said with a bitter, crushed face.

"I see... I can't easily crush the Marquis..."

Her Royal Highness murmured with a thoughtful face.

And... the words seep into your abdomen, your desire to crush them.

"I'm sure you're in bad government.You can crush it! "

The Duke of Euphemia said in a slightly chic tone.

But my eyes aren't laughing.

"Onee-sama... it's not that easy.Without something decisive..... "

Your Majesty is in trouble.

Somehow... with the absolute authority of His Majesty the King, I thought it would be easier to take it down, but it doesn't seem that way.

It still seems difficult to deprive a lord of his status without something like a serious criminal act.

The Duke of Euphemia told me about the Marquis of Cobalt.

The Marquis de Cobalt is now 55 years old, but he took over the lord about a decade ago.

The death of his father, the former lord, seems to have succeeded the governor.

It seems that his father did not give up his governor during his life.

Normally, at a certain age, it seems common to conceal and give up the governor to a child, but they did not.

Until the current Marquis became lord, there seemed to be no particular problem with the regime, but there are various problems now.

Misconduct such as embezzlement of officials and adhesion to vicious chambers of commerce seem to be rampant.

It seems that the people who are eating the food are the people, and they have suffered quite badly.

Thus, before coming to the Duke of Sayburn, Mr Lucène described his activities in the Marquis of Cobalt as' thieving Lapin 'in order to expose the wrongdoing of human aid and the Bad Chamber of Commerce.

When I asked Lucerne again, it seemed that the Marquis de Cobalt looked alike in every city and was in a terrible situation.

It seems that the vicious chambers of commerce that send bribes and the like are widening their reach and disturbing the morale of officials and guards.

Depending on the city, there may be problems with the guardianship itself.

The bad governance of the Marquis of Cobalt is certainly in His Majesty's ear and has been cautious several times, but there are no signs of improvement.

His Majesty seems to be careful every time he hears about bad reputation, but rather than improve, he is in a terrible state of hearing bad reputation.

In this case, the next step seems to be to resort to some hardship, but His Majesty the King needs to be quite prepared.

As far as I can hear, there are many small evils, but it seems that it is difficult to inflict great punishment such as crushing because there is no big evil.

I hate to say this... but I'm guessing it's a little villain.

I can't believe the lord is such a scoundrel... it's a very annoying story for the people.

Even though I'm a lord, I think it's a big sin at the time of the little villain...

Politics is difficult...

Well, if everything His Majesty says goes through, he'll become a tyrant, and in a sense, a healthy tyrant.

The Marquis de Cobalt appears to be arrogant and twisted, and he will not follow His Majesty's words in silence.

The Duke of Euphemia seems to be in bad company.

The Duke of Euphemia said... it seems to be a lump of self-expression with high pride.

Maybe it's tougher than not sticking to power.

But I want to help people in trouble somehow...

Well, what's the matter...

I don't want to fight such a troublesome guy when I have to fight the devil from now on...
