Marion wakes up at home.
Sleeping next to the bed is the woman who spoke up last night.
When the raised Marion raises his hand, the window interrupts the blackout and takes in the light. The indoors moved out on their own and started preparing for the morning.
Marion also gets up and checks his schedule to serve.
And speak to a woman who won't wake up forever.
Lady, it's time.
Speaking in a sweet and gentle voice, a woman wakes up.
You remembered last night, the woman rushed to hide her body.
"She's cute."
Marion, loving the way she looked, reached for the woman's hair. The woman turns bright red in her face and rushes into the shower room with clothes that were scattered all around her as they were.
"I was so excited last night. - Well, it's time for me to come out."
Looking down at the view from the window.
It had a gray view like a capital star.
"You're garbage here and you don't like it. - I like women in the capital because they're beautiful."
I grumbled at that sentiment.
◇
"Good morning, Senior Liam"
Marion was the one who greeted me with a nostalgic smile.
I encounter it in the elevator like every time.
"Don't smell like perfume today"
Marion has taken the terminal out and boasted about yesterday's achievements.
"You found a pretty girl. I spoken it down. Oh, it's this girl."
The smell of perfume seems to be the reason women want to.
I'm different from the woman you showed me before.
This guy, all I can imagine at night is constantly dictating about women.
Looks like a lot of women are fooled by their cute looks.
My thoughts are - I do it well, yeah.
Marion shows her recent achievements here. You prefer beauties who seem mindful, they're all grown women.
"How about Senior Liam join us? I'm eating in."
If we find out this is the official who works for the palace, the general ladies change the color of their eyes. Anyway, officials are winners in the Empire.
It is very popular on Capital Star.
"Tell him I'll be back in the country at the end of my training period. We'll be gone in a minute."
"I will when we break up. Still, Senior Liam doesn't play women. Because it's bad for your fiancée?
Because it's bad for Rosetta? Is this guy stupid?
Why should I care about Rosetta? He's mine, I'm not his.
If you play too much, it's because Tenjo and Brian have May flies.
Tenjo says, "If you get your hands on it, take responsibility," and Brian says, "Master Liam is finally interested in women! - But just be careful with the honey trap. No more, nothing more." - That? Were they rather recommending it?
But if one of us gets his hands on it, it's going to make a noise from the May fly, so it's dismissed.
"Because I don't have the woman I deserve."
"You say. But it's also fun to eat and play around."
Look at Marion nicking, isn't this guy going to get stabbed one day? I thought so, but this guy is noble too.
Seems to be stabbed by ordinary people, it is noble disqualification.
The elevator has arrived on the floor of interest, so get off. When I went to work, Randy had been talking to my neighbors around my desk all morning.
"Congratulations, Master Randy"
"Thanks"
"Cleo faction membership will increase the importance of the Langlan family."
"I'm going to be busy. I need your help."
He was purposefully around my desk, talking about joining the Cleo faction.
Marion looked at me and looked funny.
"It's provoked."
"Let me."
Ignore the Randies and take their seats, and they put one file on my desk.
"Hey, Liam."
Randy put his hand on my shoulder.
"You're familiar. Get your hands off me."
If I had advised him, Randy would have smiled like a fool.
"You've been summoned by His Highness Cleo today. I'm busy, so do my job instead. You're part of the same faction, so you don't mind, do you?
- Cleo told me a few days ago that he had admitted to the faction of the Langlans. That in itself is not surprising.
Rather, I feel like I've been shouldered to this extent.
"It doesn't matter. Taking care of newcomers isn't too bad if you think it's the top job of the faction. Precisely, shake your tail so His Royal Highness Cleo will like it"
I'll say it with a smile, and Randy's expression changes only slightly. I kept smiling, but only my cheeks were shivering pimples.
You're noble, but you can't even play poker face - questions like that also arise, but it's the nobility that is so rare and commonplace in localities and mansions.
I can't stand it because I'm not supposed to be stirred up.
I guess this guy's also the type of guy who's been feeling like a king locally.
"Okay, then, please."
Randy and his surroundings leave seeping remorse. Marion was watching over me.
"You've got a problem. I can't believe His Highness Cleo took in the Langlans. If it's the factional size of His Highness Cleo, it doesn't look like we need to rush in."
Where there have been one or two more nobles of the elephant, the situation has not changed.
Besides, the people who have been sneaking by looking at the situation are likely to betray them depending on the situation.
It can't be like carrying a guy you don't trust into your nostalgia - I can't say enough.
"Try to entertain me on how far the Langlans can go"
If Randy took the files he left behind, the contents were quite - a lot of data. In a small file, I still have work to do.
I guess you went out of your way to get a job and push it against me.
When I closed the file, Marion spoke to me.
"Overtime is confirmed for that workload. Can I help you?
"No problem."
I don't work overtime.
So let's get this over with by time.
◇
Randy, who had taken the surroundings, had come to a rest stop inside the building, even though he said he was at work.
It's a cafe-like space, with waiters and waitresses. Other nobles used it in the morning, and some were making it smell like alcohol.
Young aristocrats, who are supposed to be in training, are crushing their jobs.
Randy stopped by for a leisure break to meet time with Cleo.
The surroundings look like they made a fool of Liam for feeling his attitude was a vanity.
"They just pushed me to work in the end. That's about it."
"I admit military history and personal skill, but I'm too oblivious to politics. It's a country aristocrat round the border."
"It's gonna be our job to put together such a stupid country nobleman"
Randy's home, the Langlans, is close to the capital star of the Empire - close at a distance if seen across the Empire, with a territory that has developed.
For that reason, he was making fun of country nobles like Liam and the others.
Only Randy is a little different from the others around him.
"It is the faction of His Highness Cleo that relies on the force of its rural nobility. Look, never compete outside of politics."
"Well, I know, Master Randy."
Neither Liam's personal power, nor the military power of the Banfield family, is an insult to Randy.
It was Liam who defeated the pirate aristocrat Berkley family.
Randy devises a plan for the future.
(We can kick Liam out of the capital star in the near future. patience until then)
Randy, with Cleo on his side, was getting ready to kick Liam out of the capital star.
(No matter how much force you have, don't think you can survive in the political world)
With a political force that couldn't be helped by force, Randy was trying to challenge Liam to battle.
◇
In the building where Cleo lives in the rear palace, Licitea was outraged.
"Cleo, how did you get Randy's opinion!
Cleo was signing electronic documents in the office.
The document was a petition against Cleo.
It was an offer of support from an aristocrat who gasps for poverty, but some of it has suspicious content.
Yet Cleo had promised support as to whether to scatter.
"What are you talking about, sister?
Licitea, who notices the petition, inadvertently blames Cleo for promising her support.
"Oh, you, are you going to sign all those petitions? If you help them cheaply, there will be more of them stopping by!
"They are those who are attacked by the King Gudwar kingdom and in need. You can't leave me alone."
I couldn't say it back strongly in Lisiatea when they said why it seemed like it.
"You should talk to Count Banfield."
Cleo laughs at it small.
"Hey, what? Count Banfield must be the one assisting Cleo with his funds, right? I don't think it's prudent for you to talk to me about anything?
To Richter, who deserves it, Cleo nods small and signs the paperwork.
"Of course it is. I'll talk to the Earl of Banfield, and I'm going to leave you with a big job."
Lisiatea was relieved to hear it.
Because I had a sense of crisis with Cleo trying to take in the Langlans and make them Liam's opposing horse.
"I like that. It's a bad idea to scorn the Earl of Banfield."
"I know. I need the help of a great nobleman to survive."
Richtea, unable to speak to politics, is convinced by Cleo's words.
"So, what's the big job to leave to the Earl of Banfield?
Cleo gazed at the electronic documents and signed without much concern for the contents.
"There is a house that has been torn down. The territory was made direct by the Empire, but we needed to send someone out because it was on the perimeter. I leave that to the Earl of Banfield."
"Huh?"
Surprisingly, Licitea's reaction has been delayed.
A nobleman's house was in ruin. Send a deputy because the lord is gone on a planet managed by that nobleman. - That's good.
But sending Liam there was a problem.
"Are you letting the Earl of Banfield go from the Capital Star?!? No! With the Earl of Banfield, the elephant won't move! Cleo, reconsider!
"The Earl of Banfield is very good at martial arts and governance. He's the one who rebuilt my home."
"If it's appropriate, don't move the irreplaceable!
To Licitea, who was about to cry, Cleo informed her of the situation on the planet sending Liam.
"Sister, that's all important planets. The inhabitants of the Empire are being evacuated in the invasion of the reign of Gudwar. The same goes for the reception, but not enough backward support bases. You can't cry if you want me to send someone with military experience and good abilities."
They say it is necessary for the Empire, and Richter clogs the words.
Cleo makes no push.
"I also took the permission of the Chancellor. Harsh on young people in training, because you admitted that the Earl of Banfield would live up to his expectations. Besides, if we accomplish this request, we can prevent one win over Brother Calvin. Because it is recognized that it contributed to the war in no small measure."
Licitea dropped her shoulder.
"I was relieved that Cleo seemed to think a lot of things too. But without Count Banfield, your escort or your back shield will be gone."
Cleo said plainly.
"Let the Langlans do their best there."
