Let's Manage The Tower
(3) Perceptions of each
The examiners were guided to a room in the inn rented by a group of missions.
Once again, Dudne lowers his head toward the examiners.
"Again, I apologize for the inconvenience."
Looking at the situation, the man who had been involved with the examiners just now said in a hurry.
"Du, Dudne! Why would you do that to adventurers...?"
"Shut up!
Without saying a word to the end, Dudne reprimanded the man.
The Dudne's gaze clearly turned towards Floria.
Floria, who had been aware of Dudne's gaze since before she was in the room, finally remembered her face and slapped her hand.
"... oh, yeah. Are you sure you were here to take care of Prince Wang during my departure ceremony?
Dudne looked surprised at Florian's words.
"Do you remember?"
"Of course. I just wanted to say, you didn't even remember my face. I can remember who was coming with me."
Dudne smiles bitterly at Florian, who returns so lightly.
"No, I think that's right..."
The ceremony of the King's (Queen's) departure brings many visitors from all over the world.
Normally, even though I remember the King and Prince of each country, I don't remember the caretaker.
"What? It's not a big deal. Better yet, you realize it's me?
The current Floria is in travel mode and has been crafted to change its impression.
It's not much of a disguise, but I'm starting to realize that I'm not close enough.
Dudne nods with his face to the Floria.
"Actually, I didn't notice the beginning. But I was sure of what I heard in the report and the emblem on the carriage."
Oh, I see.
Floria nodded while saying so.
Given that he was a caretaker with the Crown Prince, it is clear that he has seen himself quite closely.
Also, I was convinced that if I noticed the royal crest, I would be able to notice how much it changed my impression.
Until now, the man sneaks up to the superior who stands next to him with a grotesque expression, looking at the two men who continue the conversation calmly, even if they think of something inside.
"... you know... Does Dudne know that woman?
The superior stared at the man who continued to call him "that woman".
"Why don't you shut up! You idiot!
Showing a clever imitation of shouting quietly, the boss took his gaze off the men and turned his attention to the Florians again.
The man who saw his face and understood that he was no longer in the sight of his superiors saw the Florians with a fierce face.
When we look at Dudne, it is clear that he treats Florian personally.
In the first place, Dudney is a bastard of the Duke of some kingdom.
There shouldn't be so many people who need to take the attitude Dudne is showing.
Conversely, Dudonné's attitude is that Floria has that kind of identity.
The man remembers his attitude and sweats cold inside.
Beyond the man's heart, Floria and Dudne continue their conversation.
"Well, anyway, what about this one?
When Floria asked, Dudne tightened her expression.
I understand that the conversation ahead is also important to Dudne.
In the first place, Dudney heard this story when he was resting in a luxury inn on the fifth floor.
The Razek Amamiya's crusaders told me that the man was making a scene against the adventurer.
If that had been enough, Dudne would not have made the appearance of coming to the West Side himself.
At best, I used someone from my immediate subordinates.
However, the moment I heard that the noisy opponent had the royal crest, I began to feel bad inside.
Having a Royal Sigil means that the opponent is qualified to see the royal family directly, even if they are adventurers.
Even if it is not the noise that I caused directly, if those brought in as assistants caused the noise in Lazeqamamiya, it could have an impact on the future negotiations.
Dudne, who decided to do so, headed for the western city, where there was an instant disturbance.
On the way, he rushed to the scene listening to the noise.
And I realized that Florian was among those who were causing trouble, and I thought it would draw my blood.
Rather than talking indirectly to the Royal Family, Dudney was supposed to be dealing with the Royal Human Beings themselves, but at least not here to influence the Mission's activities.
Dudne decided to eliminate the biggest obstacle first.
"First of all, those who caused this disturbance will be sent back to their home countries immediately. I can't decide the punishment right away, so I think I'll get back to you soon."
"... hmm. So?"
Having listened to Dudne's suggestions, Floria hasn't changed her expression in particular.
Looking at Florian's attitude, Dudne thought for a moment if it wasn't enough to dispose of it, but he shook his neck left and right with his heart.
In no case will one side suffer unilaterally in negotiations between states.
It is no matter how badly one does it.
Negotiations come about because they demand something from each other.
Dudne, who knew Floria was listening to what she wanted, decided to stick to her request.
In these cases, even if you make a weak suggestion, you will often find something acceptable.
You'd better be majestic if you wanted to.
"As for this request, I would like you to make sure that this case was not at least overt."
"... hmm."
Having heard the request, Floria put her arms together to reflect.
After that, Floria nodded without spending so much time.
"Well, that's fine.... is that all?
"Yes, this is all we have."
As for Dudne, I didn't think he'd agree so much, so I applauded him in my heart, but I just nodded without showing it.
After that, Dudne, who was only thinking about what kind of demands the other person (Floria) would make, was stunned by the next Floria's words.
Very well. Well, that's settled. In the future, as long as we don't bring this up with each other. "
"... what?
Floria smiled a little at Dudne, who accidentally gave it back.
"Isn't that amazing?
Hearing the Florian words, Dudne thought he had been beaten inside.
Floria realized now that she had intended not to do this from the beginning.
I can imagine that the ex-queen was on her journey when she stayed at the inn, even though she could return soon with the transfer gate.
From that point of view, I can think of a way to keep my journey as hidden as possible.
For this reason, if we can avoid this noise to each other, the problem will disappear.
At least as the head of the mission, Dudney was supposed to have been quite good at negotiating, but he was greatly sighed when he found out that Florian's thoughts were going on, and that Florian and the others were gone.
