I didn't feel like having any more conversations with my brother, and I went out the front door of the mansion.

Seeing my mood like that, both Eleonora and Mr. Andrew stayed silent and followed me. The remaining brother was still hanging around with his liquor-smelling breath saying, "Hey, what's up," etc., but ignored it and left. I didn't want to hear that voice any more.

A man in a black suit with a forged body stood at the front door, and, uh, he looked at me with the eye, but he also ignored this and just went outside. Perhaps that's what you do with proxies. I don't know what the hell you're hiring for.

And after coming to a point far from the mansion, I sighed heavily.

"Hey, I haven't seen that much dope in a while"

……

"If the people heard what I said earlier, they wouldn't shut up. Let me tell you something from my side in the Territorial Assembly. What do you think of the new lord"

……

I totally agree with you two.

Brother no more - if you leave the territory to Edward, Fleetberg territory will not be far away from ruin. We cannot tolerate any further continued exploitation from the people.

But what can I do for it?

"Hey, Jin."

"... Yes, Master"

"Are you going to be a lord again?

"I..."

The blame for this is definitely on me too.

I trusted my lord, and I believed Edward. Somehow uncomfortable, suspicious that it was a lie, anxious to see if it was really all right, but I believed it. In the custom of imperial aristocracy, it was only because it was considered best for the eldest son to inherit the house that he followed it.

As a result, it tormented the inhabitants. I'm the one who did that.

Guys like me, let's be lords again, etc...

"We want Master Jin to be lord again."

"I didn't ask you, Mayor. What I want to hear is Jin's words."

……

But.

There's a lot left to do. There's still a lot I couldn't do. Anything that can be reformed in the knowledge of this current situation comes to mind.

All you need to do to do that is be a lord again.

So, I...

"So, what do you say? Are you going back to your lord?

"… if possible, I would like to go back"

"My training is still halfway through. I told you. I'll tell you everything. You want to quit being my apprentice and go back to being a lord?

……

It was my dream to become Eleonora's apprentice and praise the way of witchcraft.

I was heartened to move forward on the path of sorcery.

But my return to my lord means throwing that path away.

How could you do this...

That's how my sleeve was pulled when I was answering.

"What..."

……

It was Chris who pulled my sleeve.

Still looking asleep, but staring at me. And with the same unchanged expression, he said to me.

"Oh, my goodness, it looks like it's creepy."

"That, is..."

"But"

Chris punctuated the words here and then went on tracing them.

"Ripple. Oh, my goodness, it seems so."

……

"Majutsu. Oh, my goodness, it seems so."

……

"Both, do it, do it"

Proceeding with reform as a lord was a pleasure. Those days when the inhabitants moistened by what I did, tax revenues went black, and made them rebuild the territory they were packing, it was certainly fun.

Exploring the magic path was fun. Those days, when I had studied witchcraft, drilled and researched witchcraft as Eleonora's apprentice, were certainly fun.

Throw one away.

No, I'm not.

I - both roads, as long as they're extreme!

"Right..."

"Oh, my God?

"Do you need to worry, you didn't...... thank you, Chris"

"Yes."

I'm an idiot.

As a lord, as a magician, you just have to be top notch. You just have to take both, without throwing one away.

You just have to keep going, even if Tsu was waiting down that road, scratched.

"Mr. Andrew."

"Yes, Master Jin"

"I will be lord again. I've made a mistake giving up lords to men like my brother, if you'll forgive me."

"We welcome you wholeheartedly."

"Jin!"

Eleonora speaks so angrily of my words.

But I turned back to Eleonora and bowed my head.

"Master"

"Hey Jin, you......!

"I will try my magic under your master. Continue exploring the magic path. I will try to be a first-rate magician, proud of your master."

"One effort from the lord, you want to do it?

"It's not one hassle. I'll make sure both roads are perfect."

With a serious look, I see Eleonora.

If you don't have enough time, I'll even try to shred your bedtime. Make sure you get over it, even if a harsh trial awaits you. Even if it was Tsu's way, let it go.

Eleonora sighed heavily at my words like that.

"Damn... you're my poor apprentice, you are"

"Master..."

"I don't know how busy you will be as a lord. I don't know if I'm a lord. If you want to learn magic in one of those tasks, you're about to take it down."

So Eleonora stood three fingers.

"There are three conditions."

"Yes, Master"

"One. My assignment must be submitted by the due date. Daily reports, too. I won't tolerate a day's delay."

"Okay."

"Two. Keep looking after me around you the same. If it is, I can leave it to the maid your brother is hiring right now. Pay your salary."

"Yes."

"Three. Prepare my room at your mansion. When you have business in Imperial City, ask the lady there to use Moment Move (Teleport) to carry me."

"... Chris"

"Yes. Okay."

Chris nods at Eleonora's words.

For one thing, it's not in the form of living in, it's in the form of Eleonora living in my house and mentoring me.

If that's the condition, you can swallow it all.

"Well, then, Mr. Mayor."

"Yes, Master Eleonora"

Do you have any belly plans? I don't think it's gonna be easy for Jin to take office again once he quit his lord. "

"Yeah, that's for sure"

Mr. Andrew nodded so confidently.

Speaking of which, I didn't think that far. I did quit once, and it would be difficult for a quitter to take office again.

Especially in the form of abolishing the eldest son and the third man again, even in the custom of imperial aristocracy...

"Though it would originally be accepted by the Territorial Council by submitting a proposal of distrust, which would be approved by the Imperial Council of the Imperial capital, and on which we would welcome a new lord"

"Just the bureau process. It's going to take months."

"Yeah. I can't wait that long, so I'll use some forceful means"

"It's..."

To my question, Mr. Andrew looks at me with a serious eye.

And I kept my voice down just a little bit, and went on.

"Until now, Mr. Edward is supposed to have been ill and quiet. Whatever the truth, it should be told to the Imperial Council."

"Yes."

"If so."

So I knew what Mr. Andrew meant, and the chill ran on his spine.

Originally, a lord difficult to replace. How to get it to take immediate turns.

It is.

"Where he died of illness, nothing would be unnatural, would it?

The present lord is to die...
