In October, Allen turned 11 years old.
After sweeping the Orc village at the end of May, he has crushed about 20 orc villages. There are more villages, but we will wipe out all the Orc villages. Naturally, the deforestation will be carried out in order from the north of the White Dragon Mountains, with resumption of mining of mythril ore.
Thanks to this, preparations for the northernmost mining area of the White Dragon Mountains are progressing at a considerable pace. Originally, mining would start in three years, but mining is likely to be reduced to two years.
Recruitment of mining sites is also progressing, and construction of mining sites and villages equipped with blast furnaces for refining mythril ores will begin in the spring of next year. Recruitment has already begun.
(Everything is fine. Orc village is crushed as it is, and if possible, kill all armor nests and be an adventurer next year.)
When I was eight, when I was twelve, I left my servant and decided to leave the museum. It's been three years since then. I think I've been in the museum for a long time.
Allen asks for Cecil. Protect me
When I go out, I recall Mihai's words recently. What did he want you to protect from? If you want this word to serve Cecil for a lifetime, you can't. Think about what else makes sense, but I don't know.
"The royal messenger is coming today."
"Looks like it"
When I was eating breakfast, my servant Rickel called out. Breakfast conversation with Rickel has been for three years.
Today, as Rickel said, a royal messenger is coming. It is said that yesterday there was a break, and that he will be visiting today at noon today. The servants and servants who serve the baron are expected to gather in the dining room on the second floor.
(In addition, maybe it's a matter of increasing the head tax)
He didn't tell him what he was coming to, so we don't know why he came. However, the royal messengers tend to be arrogant, so they don't feel very good at the venue.
After noon, the royal family came. We do not eat lunch, but we do it in the dining room.
At the entrance, the butler will guide you through the dining room on the second floor. Three people come to the canteen.
The first person is better than the other two. The two in the back are like aides or something. The best-dressed royal ambassador sits on the birthday seat, and behind them are two aides. The aides seem to have something in their hands.
The guiding butler stands behind a baron sitting on the other side. Allen is standing on the wall behind Cecil's seat. Other servants and servants are standing behind barons who serve in a similar fashion.
"Welcome, what kind of business are you looking for today?"
"Hmm, Baron Granvert has been doing well for the royal family on a daily basis. His Majesty the King also states that Baron Granver's devoted attitude is a model for aristocrats."
"That's a praise for such a praise for taking care of the Granver territory."
The royal angel is very great. At least considerably better than the Baron. It is also a privilege of the royal messenger to speak in the words of His Majesty the King. The baron is upset because his royal messenger has never talked to him.
Then a while is born. The baron waits for the next word of the royal angel. He stares at the royal messenger what Thomas is.
"Well, it's very painful to give this to Baron Granver."
After a while, the royal angels speak. Then, whether the word was a signal or not, one of the aides walked up to the center of the long table. The butler watching it walks to the center of the long table and faces the aides.
The butler is given something square by his aides. The butler places the envelope on the baron's table.
"letter?"
"Yes, this is a letter from my son."
The royal angel answers the baron's question.
"Mi, from Mihai?"
"..."
The royal angel seems to answer nothing more. Because of Mihai's letter, Cecil's consciousness concentrates on the letter placed on the table.
Seeing the royal messenger saying nothing more, the baron opens an unsealed envelope with wax and removes a piece of parchment.
When you pull out the parchment from the envelope, you can see a lot of light purple threads on the table.
Seeing that, the expression of the baron suddenly changes to anxiety. Start reading the parchment you picked up.
"What ?! Poko, this is it!"
As soon as you start reading, the baron screams.
"Oh my dad, what did Mihai write?"
Basically, no one except the baron speaks when there is a guest. Only when spoken by guests. Ignoring that, Cecil talks to the baron. However, he did not respond to Cecil's words and read the letter while shaking his shoulder.
"Ko, when is this?"
"It's something that I write regularly and is about three months old."
"Well, isn't that the story different?!?, Why is such a thing in six months !!"
Perhaps he didn't like the attitude of the royal messenger being so calm, the baron cast rants on the royal messenger. The attitude of exposing the emotions is far from that of a normal baron.
"Your son has done his job."
"Well, anyway, I'm a junior aristocrat, so I guess I've put it in a dangerous place !! Mihai has just just graduated from school!"
The baron has already risen and glares at the royal messenger and continues to scream.
"Are you sure you want to take it to the royal family?"
"!"
The attitude of the royal family has not changed since entering the cafeteria. Then tell the baron in the same language. The baron swallows the word that it is too unreasonable to say so.
"Please, let me read!"
The baroness stands up steadily and begins to read and take away the letter from the baron.
"Well, such, Mi, Mihai ..."
While the Baroness is reading, she is fainted by too much shock. A servant serving the baroness embraces in a hurry. Carry the fainted baroness from the canteen.
"The list of those who died this time and the exemption are under scrutiny, so I will send them later."
"..."
The baron can't keep up with the royal messenger who keeps talking.
"Okay, I gave you that. I'm sorry to have to go to the next territory. Baron Granver, then."
"Yes, yes?"
The royal angel who stood up to the baron tells her.
"Thank you for your continued work as a baron in charge of the Grand Vert territory."
"..."
It is not a very answerable situation right now. It doesn't matter if that baron doesn't reply, he leaves the dining room. If the butler tries to send it off, he is told, "It's fine."
The royal messenger leaves and silence is created in the cafeteria where the baroness is gone.
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Cecil, who had been silent there, asks the baron a question. This is the only flow of conversation. Only the death of Mihai can be understood by interacting with the royal angel. Ask the Baron for more stories.
"That's right ... Would you please take everyone off? Thomas!"
The baron tells everyone to leave. Baron Thomas also seems unable to hear. Only Baron, Cecil and the butler remain, and Allen also leaves.
In the afternoon, the house is cleaned with other maids. Think about Mihai while cleaning.
(Maybe what Mihai wanted to say. Is that what he wanted to do?)
Allen also knew that Mihai had died from an earlier royal messenger conversation. Surely that letter is something of a will. And that was what Mihai wanted to tell Allen as he left the hall.
It was that time. A loud voice that echoed on the first floor rose from the dining room on the second floor.
"Well, then, did you mean that your father killed your brother Mihai !!!!! You mean you knew he was going to die and sent him out !!!"
"What ?! I don't say that. I have a nobleman's job."
"Well, do you tell me that you die !!!! I mean I lived to be killed !!!"
"No !? No. Wait, wait. Cecil!"
The door of the cafeteria closes with the sound of the hall. It looks like Cecil has returned to his room. The maids and servants were hearing that voice. What a buzz.
There was no Cecil in the supper that day. It seems to be trapped in his room.
And the next morning.
"Allen, did you hear yesterday?"
"Yes, it was a very loud voice."
Everything in the palace was listening to Baron and Cecil's exchanges.
"But it was true."
"For real?"
Ah, he said, Rickel, who was talking over the table, wakes up, leans over to Allen, and speaks whispering.
"I'm not sure what I've heard in the past, but the Granver family is rumored to be short-lived. Sure, your parents and your brother died too soon I'm talking about it. "
She tells me not to talk openly. It seems much older than Rickel working as a booth errand.
Meanwhile, it's time to take care of Cecil. I went to Cecil's room with my maid who did not come to dinner yesterday.
As usual, the maid knocks and enters to change Cecil's clothes. Allen is waiting in front of the door in the meantime.
"Ce, Cecil!"
The maid who entered the room began shouting. When Allen peeped into the matter, the maid was shaking and holding her mouth with both hands.
Cecil was not in the room.
