Let's Manage The Tower

After suppressing the disturbance at the branch, Christoph immediately returned to the castle's office to check on the circular.

Regarding the circular, while asking the customer to give instructions and confirm it, he was troubled about what to do with Lemesov.

In the meantime, I came back looking at some of the stories that have spread among the current nobles who have been checking the status of the circular.

We still need to investigate to get an accurate picture, but it's enough to know just a few perceptions.

When I heard about his proximity, it turned out to be exactly what Christoph had expected.

Now, after a brief trouble, Christoph decided to meet with his father King after deciding on some policy.

Time has passed since I returned to the castle, so it is difficult to ask for a visit today.

After confirming his father's plans for the next day, he decided to meet with him.

The next day.

At the family breakfast table, I decided to have a formal visit after listening to the time when I was likely to be able to visit.

Speaking of parents and children, since it is a matter of administration, the position is only that of a supervisor and subordinate.

The public content is well distinguished.

As a Christopher, I don't want to talk about work during family time, so I am grateful.

"So? What are you talking about?

Assault immediately listened without interrupting the extra conversation.

I'm talking about the crown at the dinner table, so you know to some extent.

Because the story of yesterday's commotion has definitely been told to Father King.

"Yes, about yesterday, I have suggestions for improvement."

"Let's hear it."

Christoph nodded only once to the short words of Assal before continuing.

"First of all, Count Remeshof's disposition will be discussed later, and I thought the same thing would happen if we didn't improve the root cause."

Huh?

"This is a circular about the transfer gate of the Crown Branch, but it does not seem to have been accurately communicated to the nobles."

In Christoph's dialog, Assal frowned.

"What do you mean?

"It seems that the transfer gates are inaccessible to the general public and are misperceived to be usable by those in positions of responsibility."

The early story is that civilians can't use it, but if they are aristocrats, they can.

Smith Country, which absolutely wanted a transfer gate for the delivery of goods from the Crown, had swallowed the conditions offered by the Crown.

The condition is that the transfer gate can be used only by a person authorized by the Crown and a person authorized by the Smith State.

With this alone, it is a normal condition, but it is a cursor that only the authorized person can use it.

You'll need a Magic Device Card to use the Transfer Gate.

In order to issue this card, you will need permission from the Crown.

If the Crown keeps saying no, there's no one on Smith's side who can use the portal.

And now no one has the card.

Since the merchants on the Crown side use the transfer gate to transport goods, it is unlikely to be a normal state-to-state transaction.

Of course, there's a reason for that.

Having heard the stories spread to the nobles today, Assal sighed deeply.

"What are they talking about? What are the civilians doing?

Multiple civilians were present at the negotiating table with the Crown.

Nothing can move all the negotiations by itself.

"I don't know if you're intentionally ignoring it, or if you're aware of the stories that are spreading among the nobles, but it certainly seems to be abandoned."

"... a headache."

"I agree. Well, whatever the civilians do, we have to do something about the status quo, so in the name of the King, I would like you to give me a circular."

I see. That would be good. "

He nodded at Christopher's suggestion.

The current circular is in Christoph's name.

But by putting it out in the name of Assar, we are going to make it known again, and we are going to make it more important by the King communicating.

"I was able to predict the cause of yesterday, but what should we do about it?

With regard to the circular, we have obtained consent, so next we will deal with the disposition of Remesov.

I thought I'd cut it out of Christoph, but I got word from Assal first.

"Regarding Count Remeshof, I would like you to be stationed."

"Resident officer?!

Typically, a resident official refers to a person such as a diplomat staying outside the country.

Become a senior position because he/she has the role of communicating the intentions of the country to other countries.

Lemesov, a middle-ranking aristocracy, would be better off with a promotion.

However, after a while, Assal smiled with surprise.

I see, that's what I mean. It might be a good punishment this time. "

Assault, who fully understands Christopher's intentions, asks him to bring the next document.

It is an order that the King can issue, and no one in the country can refuse this instruction.

On the spot, Christoph, who received a letter of order signed and marked by the King, finished his meeting with Assal and headed to his office.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

On his way to the office, Christoph called Remesov and waited for Remesov to organize the documents.

Without waiting so long, Lemesov arrived.

It happened yesterday, so I guess you waited for me to be called.

Do you know that it will be disposed of from the expression? The expression is dark.

Christoph, who seemed to know there was no need to bother about it, immediately came into trouble.

"I think I know what you're doing, so I'll give you yesterday's disposition immediately."

In Christoph's words, Remesov took the form of a thank-you without a word.

Even Christoph understands that the decision to dispose is the King's.

With the decree that the king had just given to him, Christoph read it out.

"Count Remeshof. I will appoint him as a resident officer."

"Ha!... what?

When Lemesov heard the order, he glanced at Christoph as if he had accidentally said so.

The order to become a resident officer was not linked to the disposition of this case.

Towards the bewildered Remeshof, Christoph kept talking with a nasty face.

Mission area is Amamiya Tower City.

Having heard that, Lemesov finally understood the situation.

After having twisted his face for a moment, he immediately turned his face back and lowered his head.

"... I accept."

It's been a long time since the Smit Nation started doing business with Razek Amamiya.

Until now, however, there have been no stationed officers between the two countries.

The Crown branch is on Smit's side, so technically there's nothing like an embassy between the two countries.

Lazequa Mamiya still doesn't mind.

We can use the portal to get to this country right away if we have to.

In fact, there have been a number of occasions when Lazeqamamiya civilians have come through the transfer gates.

But Smith, who can't use the transfer gate freely, has no choice but to communicate through the Crown branch.

Placing the Resident Officer on the tower side would solve the problem, but no one wanted to become a Resident Officer because it would take a considerable number of days to move without the transfer gate.

The early conversation is that the recognition of the Smith country now leaves it to the Resident Officer of Razek Amamiya, which is almost the same treatment as the transition to the left.

Though I am aware of the importance of my relationship with Razek Amamiya, I have been shunned from becoming a resident official due to my location.

In a sense, it is the best disposition for Remeshoff, who caused trouble at the Crown Branch.

As a result, Lemesov may be on a mission with a corrupt attitude, but in that case he can take even heavier measures.

As for Remeshof, he was in a position where he had to perform well as a resident of Razek Amamiya.

Whether it was good or bad for the person that Lemesov caused a disturbance at the branch office, the appraisal of the surroundings is divided.

Even the appointed King had not yet anticipated that Lemesov's posting would largely determine the future relationship between the two countries.
