Time passes with nothing as creepy as it is.

The noise of Tachiko also gradually sank beneath the water over time.

At the end of the social season, it will be difficult to remain topical no matter how shocking the stories may be if the Lords and Nobles, who were busy with the Wang capital, return to their own territory.

It wasn't completely sedated, either. That noise did leave claw marks, he said, as a trigger for faction formation around court nobility.

It did not leak to the example of other lord nobles, and me and the Earl of Teresia had also left the King's Capital at the end of the summer to return to Cardiac territory.

The vigilant northern nobles did not see any particular movement, nor did they hear from Faris about the monstrous nuns entering and leaving Nordstelm. Moving busily by the fall harvest and the number of jobs still in high quantity, Autumn is already about to end if you realize it.

"It's going to snow soon..."

"Oh, is it that time of year already? You're a year early."

Also in the last month of autumn, the air on Cardiac territory cools down with kings, resulting in temperatures such as when it will snow. When the snow starts to shake, it's the beginning of winter, regardless of the calendar.

After returning from the Wang capital, I had little time to leave the Golden Hill Hall, skipping letters everywhere every day, gathering materials and reports, preparing documents, asking for the direction of the Earl of Teresia, taking lectures or taking arches of bows and swords...... well, because I lived my days that way, I barely realized the season had passed.

I exhaled lightly, feeling tired when I had to experience it, to a habit I didn't realize. It melts away in the cold air right in front of you.

Wrapped in thick, woolly cloaks, he takes Claudia and makes her walk his horse east. We must see what happens to the villages of the new inhabitants before they enter the full winter.

"You have no hegemony, Lord Elysia. Are you tired? I hope you'll forgive me a little at Theo's."

It's Eliza, Lord Claudia.

"Ugh, I'm sorry"

"... right. I'm a little tired."

I snort at Claudia's words without tiredness or the strength to put up a vanity. Claudia also had a slightly tedious look on her face, which would also be true, she returned.

The Earl of Teresia hasn't been feeling much better since he fell ill before this summer. Naturally, there's no reason to let go of a job that he can't do, and it will ripen in divisions.

No matter how hard I worked on my own, I couldn't get around to it, and I decided to let Gunter and Claudia, and then a soldier named Calvin, the oldest of the ranks, form up and entrust them with the task of leading the army. Unfortunately, neither Gunter nor Calvin can read or write, and it is now almost at Claudia's disposal to produce documents.

Surprisingly, Claudia is also busy, and her work as a mentoring instructor for the entire leadership was also shaken at some point by the Earl of Teresia. Besides her personal tactics, she is also bright in tactics and military tactics. I guess there is no hand to not use.

Obviously overwork each other. Lack of manpower is tight.

"It also hurts that Elise came off..."

Even though I know there's nothing I can do about it, it leaks a stubborn sigh.

"That kid is brainwashed once. I have no choice."

Claudia said that as a consolation.

Elise - - Latka has kept away and under surveillance as another 'Elise' squire throughout the fall.

There is a connection between Nordstelm and a group of nuns who have planted anti-aristocratic ideas in Latka in the past. The other side notices Latka's presence and may somehow find a gap to penetrate. That's why we're on guard.

I know. It was myself who thought about it and executed it. And yet, I don't have feelings for that for long.

What's the difference between what you did to Kamil?

…………

"... Lord Eliza?

Loose, he fell down his neck and dispersed the dark emotions he recruited into his heart.

"... no. I thought I'd stop by Neza Village and go home tomorrow."

"Oh, those girls. I hope the wounds are healing."

Claudia nods, where the conversation breaks off. I was wrapped up in silence all the way down the road later.

"Dear Hall! Nice to meet you."

I guess it's a welcome, Theomel standing at the entrance to the village raising her left hand and calling us. Me and Claudia also gently raise their hands to respond to it and exchange greetings.

"Hey, Theo. Long time no see. What about winter preparations?

"Long time no see. Still looking good, more importantly. Are you ready for winter...... It's going well, I'd say."

Seen under the day, Theomel had spent a summer in Cardia darkening her skin color considerably. Slightly reddish from the beginning is now like wheat in harvest season.

"The irrigation work hasn't gone any further than I thought"

Nod one to Theomel's concise report and dive the village gate. There are no other people around here, so I let them build walls to prevent crime.

Inside, there are a few boneless stone buildings from the back edge, and then only the foundations are spread out. Likewise, only a few paths made of cobblestones were made, and on the still untouched front side were narrow lines between the nomadic tents and the simple tents scratched in the House of Lords.

This was the current situation in the villages of the new inhabitants.

There are six more buildings than we saw before we moved to Wang Capital. But six hundred villagers are not enough to live at all. Nearly twice as many people are now in the building to live in, originally around five people. Still, nearly four hundred people were forced to live in the tent.

"Now 'Yea' and the tent (Yursaw) give priority to old people and children to live in..."

"You can't let him live in the tent on the foundation during the winter. You've become a people of my realm, but you can't send them to Missorua in a year."

In the spring, snowmelting water from the Black Mountains (Amon Noir) can cause rivers and lakes to rise and flood.

For this reason, building floors are being built high and water treatment works are being carried out on the Serra River and lake waters, but new residents have a lot of people with low labour, such as children and the elderly, and sometimes they are not used to such things, so it seems that the work is not progressing well.

On top of that, the village is distant from other villages and is also the furthest from the Golden Hill Hall. In the winter of Cardia, closed by deep snow, it is dangerous for the villages of simple dwellings to be isolated.

"... All right. I'm sorry, but all new residents will be spending another winter in your jurisdiction."
