Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0
Travel to Meadows Part 1
"Hey, haven't you?
The westernmost prairie of the kingdom where my brother is.
I sat in the carriage podium I arranged to go there with a cape in my traveling costume, and I raised my voice toward the carrier scratching my proud red hair... but there was no response from my wife who was supposed to be supporting me on the carrier.
I should have decided in advance that the morning sun would depart as it rose......
"Ooh, man." I need to get to the inn by sundown. What, and I can't guzzle you?
Saying that in a louder voice than just now, after the sound as if I was loading heavy baggage called Goto, Zuzazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,
"Whoa, whoa... ugh. It's almost over, just a little longer!
I didn't load all the souvenirs for my father and all the souvenirs for my daughter-in-law - it was a detour!
... Oh, should I call you my mother-in-law, not my daughter-in-law? What does Eli think?
"You should make up your mind after you actually see him, not now!
... than that, I seem to be loading a bunch and a bunch of heavy baggage from earlier, but what the hell are you going to bring with you so many souvenirs -?
"You've decided that!
A set of fabrics for tailoring dresses, tailoring tools, accessories, cosmetics!
If a father who doesn't care about living on the border becomes a husband, he'll have a hard time getting stylish, and I'll have to keep him distracted!
And, with that said, Isa starts loading new baggage onto the carrier.
I've been dating Aisa, who is missing something like this... since I called her brother and Aisa called her father, a companion of Diaz, the hero of the Redemption, and when she became a family.
My brother, who lost his parents to an epidemic and was an orphan, but worked properly and lived every day properly.
Seeing such a way of life for my brother, when the other orphans came together to want to be like my brother too, my brother put the orphans together to create something like an orphan mutual aid organization (guild) where we all live together to help each other.
We all help each other that it's easy if we all join forces to do difficult work that we can't do alone, we all take care not to skip work or do bad things, and we all support the sick and too young to work... that's the guild.
So my brother, who became a leader, taught us how to read, write, and seriously, how important it is to work properly.
Thanks to our guild, when the number of orphans who do evil begins to decrease thanks to our brother, the people in the city who saw how it went will leave us with a better job and trust us... that's how we became decent people.
We admired our brother for making us human that way, as leaders, as fathers as brothers... and that's how we became a special bonded family.
Me and Issa met because of that guild.
One day Issa was picked up by the guild... and we soon became friends because we had the same red-eyed redhead, and we spent years together, and we got married because we were grown up... and that's why we're still a couple and family, and we're allies in the guild.
And with that in mind, you finally finished your support, Isa comes up to your stand fluffing a superior dress for a getaway and its long hair... and sits down right next to me.
"Ha... Here you go!
And I'm finally gonna see my dad.
I don't have any information on where you are when the war is finally over.
Oh, speaking of which, I know. He thought he had a father in Wang Du, and by the end of the war he had gone to Wang Du! After all, I still can't see my father, and he's been rough in a tavern in Wangdu for a while. "
With his usual smile, he starts turning the subject around like he always does, and with a proper gavel, I turn my consciousness to the reins and start walking the horses.
From here in the northern part of the kingdom, there is also the option to continue in a straight line to the meadow where my brother seems to be... There is also the issue of security and accommodation, so I will honestly head south along the streets on this trip.
If you go south and hit a boulevard connecting east and west, then continue straight west on the boulevard into Casdex territory, through Casdex territory, it's the prairie of your destination.
Previously Casdex territory was a difficult place to get close to too bad a lord's reputation... but I have heard rumors that the new lord's reputation is good and that he is close to his brother.
There's no way my brother would get along with a bad guy, and assuming my neighbor was a bad guy...... I'm sure that reputation and rumors are true because my brother should be causing a commotion.
... check the veracity of the rumors and the reputation of the new Lords in your own eyes, and if there doesn't seem to be a problem, maybe you can send a branch to Casdex territory as well.
Continue south along the street and stay in several lodging towns along the way... I reached the main street with more loads of souvenirs named Souvenirs to my brothers, and after noon I entered the lodging town along the main street and a little crowd was formed in the center of the town.
In the center of that crowd, where the people from outside the town mixed together, there was an armored kingdom soldier... apparently he was giving a big speech to the crowd.
"- That's where that hero Diaz screamed! He doesn't want to kill people from the same kingdom!
But Deane, the great traitor, didn't listen to that word, and he instructed us to march!
How about that! Diaz fought to make sure he didn't kill us... thanks to whom we didn't have to lose our lives!
A small village that was desperately created with a few of the finally gathered inhabitants, in the form of a savior hero who shows mercy even to us who are attacked in an attempt to destroy it! We followed Deane, Lord Casdex... and no one but Deane was there. Everyone wept, let go of their weapons and surrendered!
But Deane shook up his weapon without punishment, and Diaz attacked him. "
I didn't expect to hear your brother's name in this place... and when I'm stunned, "Phew," Aisa leaks her voice next door.
Sharp glances at the face of the kingdom soldier as he sharpens his red eyes...... Isa begins to observe.
"- That's why we've been in trouble at Lord Casdex's place for a while... Lord Casdex is one of them, and not only did he prepare us some extravagant room, but he also made us eat amazing delicious meals!
They say spices and sugar are famous for everything in Casdex territory, and on top of that, the economy is good - "
As the speech thrived that way, Isa continued to observe the
"... let's make sure we have a good place to stay right now -
Everyone's gathered here, and now I'm supposed to be ragged wherever I go to the inn. "
And, you lose interest in the speech, you say that, and you start to gaze at the town landscape, not the crowd.
It's better to follow Isa's words honestly at times like this.
Having known that well over the years, I nodded honestly without saying anything and drove the carriage to a painting lined with inns.
That way, we can secure a good place to stay, keep the carriage... and finish the bath at dinner.
At the table in the inn room, on the way to the meal opposite Isa, to Isa,
"... so what the hell was that daytime arr?
And when I throw the question I've been having for a long time now, Aisa answers my question while drawing something in the air with a wooden key in her hand.
"... everything and nothing, the propaganda set up by Lord Casdex - right?
As Eli knows, the previous Lord Casdex had a lot of bad reviews, so maybe he's using his father's hero, Tan, to try to wipe out that bad image?
If that soldier is really Deane's subordinate in the first place, he's also the culprit of Wang's grave vandalism... we're talking about how someone who did that is free.
Even if the king's pardon were to come out, that would be ahead of him for the time being... I wonder if the person just now is an actor hired by Lord Casdex.
There must be bards, dancers, pedestrians in other towns doing something similar. "
"... heh.
But if you did advertise, you didn't bother talking about your brother, so why don't you just advertise the realm?
"Well, that's too blatant a boulder, and most importantly, it doesn't interest everyone, does it?
Everyone loves the hero Tan...... I'm trying to spread the word efficiently by sticking publicity to the end of my father's hero Tan, the man of the hour.
Lord Casdex is also involved in this case, and even if you mix the advertisement of the realm in the conversation -... Ma, it's not that unnatural, and I don't think it's bad.
It's just a little cluttered, or I can't help but think that I'm in too much of a hurry... now that tax exemption has been decided and merchants from all over the kingdom are paying attention, it's probably the only way to do it. "
"I see.
... Well, it's not a bad story if your brother and your good neighbor's economy is going to get better "
"Sooo.
... He looked pretty good and complimented me on my father, and as far as I'm concerned, I don't know if that's all I appreciate. "
That said, Aisa starts to resume her meal by returning the wooden spoon to the soup on the table.
I also started eating again... so I went to bed early this day to get a little tired of my journey.
