Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Well, it's hair color. What does it matter? So, did you finish what you left? ”

“Yes, somewhat ”

Then Senna pops forward and squeezes Lycaen's hand.

“I can't do this. Let's go!”

“Where?”

“Hair! Remove that dye quickly! ”

Lycaen shakes his hand lightly, looking at Senna, who was overwhelmed with her unbearable expression.

Exactly!

“Aah!”

Sitting on her head, Sheena looks at Lycaen with teary eyes. But Lycaen only said one thing with a stern expression.

“Brother, I'm busy. ”

“Hehe! I hate you! ”

Lycaen looks worried as she screams and rushes inside.

“Mother, do you think you can get her married like that? ”

“I don't know? I heard you're not getting married forever. ”

“Yes?”

“He said he'd stay with you. ”

Lycaen smiles strangely at Hildor as if he doesn't know anything. And then he said with a hollow look.

“Well, we'll figure it out someday. ”

“Haha, of course. Go inside and get some rest, by the way. I was contacted and prepared to come. ”

But Lycaen shakes his head. It was not the time to relax and rest. I had to be told what to do while I was leaving the territory, and I had a lot to talk about.

“I think it's better to rest a little later. You two go in first. I'm a little overwhelmed. ”

Hildor gives you a worried look, but Dane holds her hand.

“Ma'am, let's just finish the chess we went in for. Why don't we talk about this over dinner? Lycaen, then go back to work. ”

“Yes, Father. ”

After seeing Dane take Hildor inside, Lycaen heads straight for his office. In front of the office, several people, including Raul and Anton, stood in a stiff posture.

“Come in.”

After a short speech, we went inside and led Raul into the Oval Office. Lycaen said he was afraid to sit down and face Raul.

“I hope nothing's happened in the meantime. ”

“Of course.”

“So how's it going? ”

The man in the portrait at the far right of Riyaen's words said first.

“The administrative unit renovation is now complete. As we first discussed, we divided the population by 10,000 units into 20 administrative districts. And each administrative district divided into 1,000 sub-districts, finalizing the transfer of territories and the renovation of villages. ”

He placed a thick stack of paperwork in his hand on Lycaen's desk. And the second man opened his mouth.

“At the beginning, agricultural clearance was about 70 percent of the plan. It is expected to be completely finished before seeding time. ”

And this time I put a thick pile of paperwork in front of Lycaon.

In a series of reports, Lycaen's desk was filled with clumps of paperwork.

After Lycaen inherited her position, the first thing she did was improve her administrative duties. Of course, it was Raul who was dedicated to that practice. Raul's improvement involves dividing all five administrative tasks into five, each with its own clerk and clerk.

A cashier who manages taxes collectively, a secretary in charge of detailed documents throughout the territory, and a secretary in charge of general affairs, and a foreign minister in charge of land clearance, such as treatment circulation from the management of land.

It wasn't just about saving people. It was a tremendous task to organize the procedures and command lines between executives, including linking, reporting, and processing.

Raul summoned the people he knew from his time at the Academy to take care of a tremendous amount of work together. It took me two months just to get it all done.

Riccianne appointed Raul as her executive secretary and chief administrative officer, and placed him in charge of the five administrative officers. And since then, I have driven various businesses in the territory.

I was stranded at the end of a long meeting and drove my business from the most urgent things. And now the results are starting to appear a little bit.

After hearing the administrative reports, Lycaen turned to Anton this time.

Anton opens his mouth cautiously with an embarrassed expression.

“I haven't appointed a military officer yet……. ”

Lycaen frowned without my knowledge. Improvements to work were not only administrative. Managing the military also divided and organized the work as a whole.

Trainer to train soldiers, Quartermaster to cover supplies, and Recruiter to gather and select soldiers. They were all trying to do military work for three military officers. The problem was who would take care of it.

He needed someone familiar with the military and capable of administrative tasks, and most of the knights and soldiers he had today were almost incompetent.

Lycaen, who was having second thoughts, said with a face that he had no choice.

“Do I have to leave the gate with you after all? ”

Raul made an offer as it became difficult to recruit people. He asked us to put someone who was good at administrating the military to do business together. It was not a bad opinion, but it was put on hold because of disagreements or differences in perspectives that were at risk of delaying the progress of the work.

But if it was so hard to save people, I couldn't help it.

Lycaen said to Raul,

“Pick a person. ”

At that moment, Raul frowned without me knowing. When he gave his opinion, it was before bringing the current administrative officer. If I had made this decision a long time ago, I wouldn't have any trouble choosing people.

You can't be rebellious.

“I understand.”

At the end of all the reports, there were only three people left in the administration room: Lycaen, Raoul and Anton.

Lycaen asks for Raul.

“When is this State Conference? ”

The State Conference is held four times a year in Bren Kingdom. It was a meeting relating to the overall direction of governance of the kingdom, the state, or diplomacy, which could only be attended by Earls and above.

Participation in the State Conference was more about rights than obligations. It means that we do not have to attend. However, when attending, most nobles attended without missing as much as they could comment on the promotion of matters favorable to their territory.

Earl Frost did not attend last fall and winter's State Conference. In the fall, Dane held the title, but he was unable to attend because the territorial war was raging. In winter, Lycaen had just inherited his title and had not attended because he was improving the administrative work of the territory.

But I couldn't get out this time. There was also a problem that disappearing three times in a row would narrow the position, but it is also risky to stay away from the entire political stream. Furthermore, it was dangerous for the newly inaugurated lord to not attend the State Council, which was only in the eyes of the king.

Raul replied straightaway.

“Two months later, there was a call from March. ”

“Two months... a little tight, but we won't have much time. ”

“Yes?”

Raul tilts his head. From Earl Frocus to the capital Edelschut, ten days' ride up the Pollen River was enough. However, I didn't understand it for a while because time was tight.

“Well, I had to stop by the Gronis Empire for a while. ”

“Yes? The Gronis Empire? ”

“Oh, I've got some work to do. ”

Before attending the State Conference, I had to hand over the Emperor's "Golden Hall." From the Empire's point of view, the Knights of twilight, including Elisha, will be lost or missing. Another investigation could have taken place if the condition had been prolonged. So it was best to deal with it before then.

I stopped by the capital city of the Empire and went back to Edelscht in the Brent Kingdom. I was quite busy with my two-month schedule.

“You just came back from your trip and if you move on to an urgent schedule like that.... ”

Anton says with a worried look, but Lycaen shrugs.

Chapter 11. Emperor of the Empire (1)

“Hmm, it's definitely big. ”

Lycaen looks around slowly, riding his horse.

An eccentric mix of architectural styles. People dressed in so many different outfits that it's hard to even count the types. And to a fearsome palace of such magnificence that can only be said to be so far away.

Elisha explains the horseback riding side-by-side.

“The oldest city on the continent. and it's one of the most populous places. ”

After that, Wolf, Julia, Tom and Jack gape and look around frantically.

Not only has Wolf, Tom, and Jack never crossed the Duke of Prokers, but even Yulia, who had traveled many places with mercenaries, was the first city of this magnitude.

The place they are walking now is often called the best city on the continent. It was the Huangdo Kwentium, the capital of the Gronist Empire.

“Let's book a room first. ”

Elisha shakes her head at Lycaen's words.

“You don't have to. We have a house that we use whenever we need it, so let's go there. ”
