Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

"I didn't know I could be a nobleman..."

When I was stunned by Eldan's words and said that somehow I regained my composure, from Eldan, Ayma and Ellie, respectively,

"Hmm?"

"To?"

"Huh?

and the voice goes up.

That's how the Eldans called me, 'What are you talking about?' But I came looking at you with a freaking look... I don't know why you're giving me that look, and I lean my neck, wondering what it is.

Then he sends his gaze to Ayma and Ellie, and Eldan nods at me in a way that represents the three of them.

"Uh, Lord Diaz......

Lord Diaz should already have a family name, and he should have that name as a nobleman of the Kingdom of San Selife. "

"Hmm...? No, no, no, I'm a civilian, okay?

My parents were civilians... and there's no reason why a family name should be such an exaggeration. "

If I give that back to Eldan immediately for those words, now Ellie will raise her voice.

"Father, if you had a territory, no matter how it went, you would be treated as a nobleman at that point.

There's got to be a proper family name too...?

"Yeah? Hmm?

Yes...... is it? No, but I don't remember hearing such a story about my family name... "

That's what bothers me. Eldan looked surprised,

"... Indeed, Lord Diaz has never named a family name Nets Roth before.

Though I interpreted it at will that I had something to think about... I had no idea he didn't know.

I didn't know it had reached him when he said he was treated like a well-known fact in the Wang capital... "

And say those words.

That's how I... remember the moment Eldan now spoke, heard the word Netzroth, the feeling that something that had been cut off in my head would connect... I successfully dig up the memories of that time I miss it, and shout up with a bang on my knees.

"Ahhh! It was, it was! I remember!

Surely when you were just coming to this meadow, that official said that!

Something about the name of this meadow being Nets Roast!

... No, but it's like my family name or something noble wasn't talking about...?

A new question comes to mind as I raise my voice, and that's how I'm leaning my neck again...... all four of them, including Eldan, get a look that contains a shudder, a slight glance that speaks of that thought more than my mouth.

I couldn't stand the sight of everyone like that.

"Yes, let me make an excuse, it wasn't that time, or all of a sudden they threw me out here, and I was full of stuff about what to do with my future life.

I was supposed to meet Arner the next day, and I had a full drink about it... "

And, with such an excuse... Eldan, who snorted at me, opens its mouth.

"... well, sure...

I can't say I can't do it in that situation.

The mere words of trying to pioneer the land mean that we could not receive support such as human and financial resources that we were supposed to receive, and that without the epic ceremony we would not be able to bud our consciousness as nobles.

… then at least convey His Majesty's words so that Lord Diaz can have a sense of nobility. "

Having said that and coughed up with Cohon, Eldan meditates with one hand on his chest and begins to read out the words he seems to be memorizing round.

"I am very sorry to be king of a number of tricks and unfailings that I do not think are meant to be against the heroes of the Redemption that this time came to my ear.

And even my clan heard that it was involved in its untimely end, and at the same time it was disgraced, and lost its words.

On top of that, even with so much work done, I wanted to live up to the feeling of a Sir who gave his loyalty and did not lean against my heart, and I let him worry about some things.

I only hope that this clears Sir's heart '

"-.

… That is why Lord Diaz was given the princess, the right to name a new family name, and a three-year tax exemption.

This envelope contains the words of His Majesty now and documents detailing the measures taken, and this little box contains a seal indicating the Duke's status. "

That's what Eldan says. He takes the little box and the sealed envelope out of his nose and offers it to me.

Receive that envelope and a small box...... follow Ellie's instructions to whisper "Keep it in your nostrils for now" and stick it in your nostrils.

Eldan, who nodded contentedly when he saw me do so, tells me detailed stories about what he has done in the king's capital and what he has talked about with the king.

Having obtained the certainty that there were those who took away the funds and talent that I was supposed to receive, using the information obtained from me and Deane and the information that Eldan and the others had collected independently… accusing the King of that and additionally offering him the demonic stone of the Earth Dragon that he had kept from me, in order to prepare a favourable place for Eldan.

After that, I negotiated with the King while using the Deane case successfully... that the negotiations went better than I thought, and that I got the right to tax exemption for family names.

Having gathered all kinds of information in Wangdu, spreading rumors about me to raise my reputation, working to invest in Wangdu's theatre to open a play about me… etc.

Seeing a paragraph of those Eldan stories, Emma starts recording so much conversation on a bunch of paper at the end of her inked tail... waiting for it to end, and then Ellie throws her words at Eldan.

"... but even under those circumstances, His Majesty and the Duke were quite excited, weren't they?

If the civilians are suddenly the Duke, then there's been quite a rebellion, hasn't there?

"It is only natural for Lord Ellie to think so, and when His Majesty told me about it, I was surprised that I was no longer the Duke… I had similar concerns.

But we looked into it… surprisingly, there was not a single backlash or opposition. "

"... not one? Is that possible?

"It could have been.

I wonder if you know that the nobles are currently divided into several factions around the throne succession.

Of these, the faction of His Royal Highness the First Prince Richard has voiced his approval of the matter, in part, throughout the faction.

Next, the faction of Her Royal Highness Isabel, the First Princess, shows a passive attitude of approval, influenced by the friendliness of the Duke of Sarsus, who heads him, to His Highness Diaz.

The faction of Her Royal Highness Helena, the Second Princess, was completely indifferent, whether it was because of her artistic skin or because of the many strangers… The faction of Deane and Her Royal Highness, a faction that had gathered all the people who loved to add difficulty to these matters, had not raised their voices that it was not the same now. "

"It's a little bit that I didn't have one.

... aristocracy loves this kind of politics, if only for a reason... no, I thought it was something that would pluck politics until I created a reason for it, but was that my mistake?

"We are busy in the most important political battle of succession to the throne, which is why we don't have time to get our hands on Lord Diaz.

And in the first place... "

And with that said Eldan meets bread and flat hands...... what a frigid smile he creates at the same time as opening those hands.

"- Even if you beat Lord Diaz in a political battle, you have absolutely nothing to gain!

I have no money, no useful land... I have no merit as a nobleman, and if I deal with a duke who was only a civilian until recently, instead of honor, I could be the feather of lethal disgrace!

On top of that, with His Majesty and His Royal Highness Richard and the Omake of turning the Duke of Thurshus and this me against the enemy.

Lord Diaz is now a star of hope for the civilian population, from the civilian to the duke, and if he is bad, it can lead to rebellion.

… it was in a way a tactic that made Lord Diaz the Duke in this situation, or perhaps His Majesty has weaved it all together… he decided on the Duke's episcopate after knowing it was going to be that way "

"... Alas, I can't believe His Majesty had to do that to make your father a duke... for what reason?

"His Majesty's position is now very delicate.

We lost our authority and allies as kings in many of our wartime failures... and even though we were still alive, we had to fight for a successor.

What will happen to His Majesty then if this dispute is settled and his successor... the throne is fixed... what a delicate place.

If I and Lord Diaz could be on our side in such a situation... or we could choose to live the rest of our lives in hiding around here.

And well... considering the inconvenience caused to His Highness the royal family Diane, perhaps he wanted to give him some title and give him the right to speak to the royal family... "

Eldan, who says so and looks far away, and Ellie, who is a tremendous face.

That's how I see the two conversations stopped, and Emma tries to record the conversation now... but Ellie shakes her neck to the left and right with all her might and tells her with her attitude: 'You don't have to record that now'.

Then after a while... Eldan, who had a distant eye, slowly opens his mouth.

"Sometimes that means that it will take a considerable amount of time for Lord Diaz to re-prepare the funds for the people he was supposed to receive.

The people who plundered them from the side don't know where they are now, so it will be difficult to collect them...

Nevertheless, don't do anything like this. That makes it a big problem.

And for that reason, His Majesty asked me to accommodate funds and human resources instead of His Majesty.

I have also received a text stating that the money spent on this matter may be in the form of public bonds, so I don't want you to hesitate to charge me the necessary amount!

In the wake of such Eldan's words, as Ellie sparkles those eyes with all her might... I chew through and swallow the stories so far. After a thorough understanding... I work my head hard.

Think about it that way...... I figured it out,

"No, you don't need the money, you don't need the people.

The king and Eldan have been good enough, and it's too much for me to get anything more.

So Eldan, can you tell the King that you don't care about me... that you don't have to be re-prepared or anything?

And he spoke of the conclusions that I had come up with on my own.
