~ Al Rominan side ~

"Hmm... it's still weird." Something is happening without my knowledge...? "

Recently, when we saw the "Rominan House", there was something wrong with the "Eye of the Zal Battle Government".

Yesterday...... in an attempt to destroy the Rominan family of tax thieves, Majesty Zwei, who was searching for "evidence of wrongdoing" immediately after the coup, was told to "introduce my second son's wife".

It is not the daughter of a knight or a baron, but a direct descendant of the Marquis of Ragule, who is also active in the new regime as a magician.

"I also feel uncomfortable when it comes to my work.Why have our locations been increased and our salaries doubled?I can't even use the new place, the bloody abandoned castle..... "

I can't entrust you with an important role, but for some reason I was forced to treat you well, so I only seem to have given you money and a woman for now.

"What? What's the cause?"

My Rominan family has been kept away from the center of government since the defeat of Poca Rominan, seven generations ago.

The fortune was confiscated as a gesture...... to shame, shepherds have been killed as "handymen" for generations, with a meager salary that can maintain the character of the family.

The ancestor who won the "ease position" of "an ancient and righteous family with only the bloodline" is also an ancestor......

Recently, my relationship with the royal family was cold, and I began to talk to His Majesty Zwei.

I'm over 70 years old already... it's not strange that you should pick me up.

I don't have any ambition for money or power... why did this happen?

"Isn't that a good idea, Father?The rain on the roof is better now!I can pay all my kids' school fees up to graduation... in advance! "

"Well, that's true..."

Perhaps our educational policy was to cultivate an "ambitious, ordinary leader"... My eldest son, "Il", grew up to be a "man with too many good people".

When I die, this is the head of the Rominan family.

Just keep the sloths, and don't let the bad guys fool you into ruining your house.

"Ile, listen to me very carefully. Even though we didn't do anything, we suddenly came to be treated with pride.In other words, a powerful outsider, Chikara, is working. "

“What's the problem with that?If you can afford it, you can eat delicious rice and give Will more pocket money.Isn't that a good thing! "

"What if those who have treated us well lose in factional battles?"What if you lose the trust of a fierce emperor and get involved in a collapse?The Rominans can't escape without power. "

"Ah......"

……………………

It's a clan that's more friendly than its predecessors and is not suited to political disputes.

In addition to the teachings passed down from generation to generation by our Lord, "Do not disturb the harmony, honor the ancient times, and honor the fulfillment"......

In other words, it says, "Live as a conservative aristocrat without defying those in power, showing interest in new things, and not being evil."

“You got it, Il. As always, be honest!But no matter what kind of favors you receive... don't forgive the emperor and those around you. "

"Yes, I appreciate your salary and will continue to live with my family first!"

Umu

Speaking of which, your Majesty Zwei asked about Will the other day.

At that time, I kept my emotions intact and told the truth, but.....

Once again, that "ruthless rationalist" summons me as a shadow, spends time on government affairs, and cares about the bastard... strange, strange.

Well, it all started with Will.

"What? Father...?"

Even those of us of aristocratic origin could not disobey the Emperor's order, but if he were to turn a blind eye to the commoner "that child".

If Will's life is ruined by the power struggle of royalty and nobility... will I still keep my head down for the Rominans?

Haha, "helplessness" is a miserable thing.

I hope that my sons won't shed tears of blood when they use their will to seize the chair of power...

"Father, look at this!"Will sent you a letter! "

Lamenting the misfortune that might strike Will and his own pathetic feelings... his second son, Elle, who was shopping, came home with a look that said, "I can't hide my excitement."

"The letter? It was given to the Adventurer's Guild representative?Or is it a bird or something? "

A letter from my precious youngest child... I'm glad to hear it, but I'm terrified to think that "the government has turned a blind eye."

"No, this time I was alone!""When I was shopping, I was bumped into by the poor..."If you miss the envelope because you can get fired in one shot, such as a purse thief from a noble opponent..... "

Since Will left, Elle has become "sweet to the poor" due to recoil, but it's a question of checking the letter first.

"Elle, show me the letter."

Elle, me too!

"Yes, Father, brother Il."



Dear Rominans,

With all due respect, I decided to go home for a while.

I'm going home with the adventurers' children, so if you can accommodate them, please wrap a red cloth around the front door.

And thank you for your pocket money.

We use it as an "amulet of the heart".

Will.



I've made it an amulet of my heart... Isn't it enough to just give it away (debt repayment, etc.)? Do you have "a copper coin" left?

Was the attention of the powerful also due to financial problems caused by lack of income?

From there, I don't know why we're being treated so favourably... if for any reason my son is coming back.

"Elle, wrap a red cloth around the front door."And we'll stop repairing the roof.If Will is in trouble with the money, he will need an additional “allowance”. ”

Yes.

You can mislead me when I hit the board by pouring rain

I haven't changed since I was a kid, but... since I can't afford to write, I'm sure I haven't been cornered to the limit yet.

When he comes back, let him eat meat until his stomach swells, and give him plenty of rest before he hears about it.
