Let's Manage The Tower

Scott, who invited him to the Mansion, had a meeting with the King a few days later.

Being able to meet with the King so soon after filing the application was a clear indication that Scott was a Duke.

Incidentally, Scott does not hold a key position in the country and is rare among the historical dukes who only manage vast territories.

Scott has a good reason for not being in a national position.

Scott, a contemporary king and childhood acquaintance, dared not take up a position to avoid strange gestures from his surroundings.

There is no rule against holding a position simply because you are close to the king.

Of course, that's not why you can escape the burden of being the Duke's master.

Scott himself had trouble doing that kind of power struggle.

Scott, who appeared before the king, lowered his head according to proper manners.

Nevertheless, since the place you are now is not a public place but a place that hits a private room, you don't have to be so strict.

It's been a long time, Scott.

The king, who had spoken so kindly and carefreely, immediately showed the chair in front of him to sit in Scott's seat.

Then Scott sat down as well.

"Yes, I'm out of time. And thank you for responding to my sudden request."

"No, I don't mind. I want to talk to him, too. It's noisy when it's too frequent, but I won't complain about it this much."

Scott quietly lowered his head to the king, who said so with ease.

He thanked the king for his care.

The king asked Scott with a slight gaze.

"So? Why did you want to see me until you said no to the unusual rush?

Scott wrote when requesting a visit with the King that he should hurry as quickly as possible, using something like a cipher that can only be understood between two people made in play in the past.

The King did not forget that, which is why the face-to-face was realized so quickly.

By the way, there's only King and Scott here.

Scott, who was questioned by the king, stayed a little while before he got to the point.

"King, have you ever thought about the meaning of your pre-adult journey?... No, this is better now."

Everyone knows that the journey before adulthood is important to the nobility of this country.

It made no sense to ask the king about it, and Scott decided to repeat it in a different language.

"How many kings in history have been able to tame monsters during their journey?

"... what?

On Scott's question, the king looked as if he had been caught in the eye.

Obviously, he said he had never thought about it before.

It is unusual for a king who is dealing with thousands of nobles in Haichiyama, and emotions appear on his face.

Scott nodded to the king, who had no idea what he meant.

"Actually, one of my guests told me. Actually, my pre-adult journey was to find a monster to tame."

"Well, that's an interesting way of thinking."

Seeing the king with a pleasant face, Scott thought it natural.

First of all, the King doesn't think that what Scott just said is true.

This means that the purpose of the journey is not well communicated, at least to the king now.

Of course, the assumption is that what Kaiseki said at that time is true, but at least Scott thinks it is definitely true.

Sometimes that's what the real God said, but there was more to Lenka than that, his daughter.

"Yes, if I hadn't known my daughter, I would have answered that."

"... what?

In Scott's words, the king leaned his neck in two senses.

One was why the daughter came out here because the king didn't know Lenka had started keeping wolves.

The other is what Duke Scott called "that guy."

At least to the best of the king's knowledge, there have been no reports of such respects coming to Scott's Mansion here recently.

Beyond the King's inner doubts, Scott continued his conversation without seeing how he cared.

"Have you not heard it yet? Lenka found a wolf on her journey and started keeping it in the Mansion."

"What!? What do you mean?

"Yes, it seems that those who gave the wolf to Lenka also have Taim's skills."

Scott turned to the King, who lost his word on his report, with a tender look on his face.

"Nevertheless... it's been a long time since Lenka started keeping wolves, and you haven't told her that?

"... oh. At least you didn't report it to me."

The king replied sighingly to Scott's concern.

Having monsters in a noble mansion means that someone with Tamer skills (technology) came out of the house or could have hired them.

In this country, where the first king is said to have been Tamer, it is of great interest and should naturally come into the king's ear as a rumor.

The fact that it didn't happen at all either means that Tamer's position in this country has already declined or that he dared to keep gossip out of the king's ears.

Neither King nor Scott had ever heard of Tamer's decline in this country, so it was more obvious which was the truth than seeing fire.

Scott sighed in the same way as he looked at the king's face.

"There's no point in blocking my information... No, there's no such thing."

"What do you mean?

"Didn't you say that the wolf my daughter got came from a certain guest? You wanted to hide his existence?

Lenka was largely promoting Kou, who gave up the wolf at the same time as she brought him home.

If you wanted to hide the existence of the examiner, you can also see that there was no rumor of Lenka in the king's ear.

"A guest... Is that all you got?

"Yeah, definitely. At least five wolves for Lenka."

"That's it again. You're a tough guy."

Scott nodded slightly to the king who said so with his eyes round.

"Yes, I'm sure it is. And then..."

"What?

"He said that if Slime chose him, he would give it to me, too.

"What!?

In Scott's words, the king opened his eyes to surprise.

The king's face is full of whispers.

Looking at his face, he knew very well that Tamer was a longing for the king.

Looking at the king's face, Scott nostalgically glanced at the state of affairs that had not changed at all.

And since it's a corner, I decided to keep chasing.

"Don't worry, if I can get the slime, I'll come to brag about it."

"What the fuck!? Slime hates you anyway, so I guess you're the one who can't get it!

More than half of Scott's kings are doing it deliberately.

Looking at it from the side, it only seemed like a child's argument, but it was also a good opportunity for both of them to escape from their usual burdens.
