A Skeleton Horse carriage arrived in the village of Bath.
The carriage owner is having the villagers take turns. Usually, I was away in a carriage at the Count's house, so it could actually be my first ride. But it seems to be an out-of-the-box event, and there were several rides from the town of Fulcus. Probably being used for homecoming or something.
I didn't reveal my identity in particular, and it was an unfamiliar villager who was your man. But they're offering it for free without charging anyone other than me for it. Well, you seem to be keeping your promise to me.
"Phew..."
Get out of the carriage, which was full, and stretch your spine wide.
The village of Bath is the closest village to the town of Fulcus, a village where I have made all the villagers immortal (Nosferatu) due to 'ecclesiastical' related issues. Even today, skeletons in simple clothes like piercing clothes and fierce villagers are doing field work.
Even if I lose my countenance and am no longer in a position as a lord, this is how the countryside looks as usual.
"Well..."
"Oh hey! My lord!
"Lord!?
Take a look at it the whole way - the minute I thought that, I walked into the village, I heard a villager like that.
He had a face once a month, and I guess the villagers remember him. The voices of such villagers invite the other villagers to show their faces one after the other.
Among them was the figure of Elysio village chief, who looked young and dazzling.
"This is... Long time no see, my lord"
"Oh, it's been a long time. Does that make any difference?
"Yes, we have them working just like before"
Mayor Elisio, who greets me with respect, and his wife Latch, who bows her head next door as well.
As following them like that, the three skeletons - probably skeletons and lees and yangfangs - were also bowing their heads to me.
"Hey, I need to talk to you..."
"Is there something I can help you with?
"Oh... I think there will be a decree in the village from now on, but I left my lord this time. From now on, the lord was to be succeeded by his brother Edward"
"Huh!
Elysio Village Chief shouts his surprise.
Well, it's impossible for a lord to change all of a sudden, unless it's also accidental death. At the very least, it is a case in point where the Territorial Assembly should be convened. But to the best of my knowledge, the council is not supposed to be convened.
My brother said, "The one who was supposed to inherit it it. I don't need a congressional convocation in particular", but is that really okay?
"Oh, you know, the fact that your lord isn't your lord anymore... uh, what happens?
"What's gonna happen?"
"If your lord changes, will we change anything?
"I don't know, be."
Other villagers follow in the questioning of the Elysio village chief.
The truth is, I'm not sure either. Is it just a matter of changing who pays taxes for them? I don't think it affects the countryside, especially because the lords have changed.
I can just say, I can't make skeletons for my brother. Which means I have to offer skeletons to the countryside in the future.
"Well, the truth is, the Count just turns from me to my brother. I don't think there's much impact on rural life."
"I hope so..."
"In the future, I will come regularly. At that time, tell me if there are any deficiencies or shortages in the skeleton. Like before, I won't be able to come once a month..."
"I understand. We just need to do our job the same."
"Well, yeah. Right."
If we try to make it rural, there will be no particular problems or anything like that where the Count has changed.
I think it would be nice if I went around the village and dealt with the shortage of skeletons, as I have done before, at the time of my homecoming. He was here once a month in the first place, but there were no deficiencies in Skeleton's movements per se.
So I still don't know what the motivation is. Just the magic I put in first, is it still working for me?
Well, around there, let's get apprenticed and then we'll hear it. Mr. Eleonora would know more about Art's magic than I do.
"But, lord... uh, you're not lord anymore. Dear Jin...... Are you sure?
"Oh."
"We've only heard rumors... that Mr. Edward ran off and fled the territory..."
……
Unexpectedly stuck in the words of Mayor Elisio.
The word is true. But your brother, externally, is going to stay ill and quiet.
Should I behave that way, too?
I honestly don't really like lying.
"My brother... he's sick. The sickness got better, so instead of me, who was acting as lord, I was officially supposed to be lord."
"Did Master Jin represent you?
"Oh, yeah. My brother is educated as a lord by the father of a former lord. But there are things I'm not used to, so if anything happens in the village, you can help me."
"Ha... I don't know what we can do..."
"Please."
To the Elysio village chief, bow your head.
I can't get involved in the realm anymore. At best, you'll only be able to come here once in a while and give me a skeleton.
So all you have to do is believe in your brother and the inhabitants.
"Oh, no, keep your head up, Master Jin..."
"Sorry... I guess the truth is I should have been responsible for enriching my territory..."
"Master Jin doesn't need to be apologized for like that. We have enriched ourselves thanks to Master Jin. There's nothing left to work or work for, heaven compared to those days. With the mercy of Lord Jin, we are alive."
"... thanks"
"No. We must be truly grateful. Thank you so much, Master Jin."
……
To the words of the Elysio village chief, I'm about to cry.
What I've done is appreciated and taken this way. Thinking about it, it was worth the effort I've been working on for the last two years.
Although.
"Master Jin is a really sweet person. I'm sure your new lord is also kind."
……
To the words of such Elysio village chief.
I couldn't answer that.
Then I went around each village and told them that I was no longer a lord, and that my next lord had become Brother Edward.
The villagers reacted differently. In one village, he said, "I haven't repaid your lord yet!" He cried, and in one village he said, "Thank you, I can't thank you enough...!" And he bowed his head, and in one village he was spared, "Such a kind lord, it was the first time..."
Sincerely, I really think.
Though I have been a lord for two years and it has been hard and painful.
Coming, good.
