Marquis' Express Butler

The Delfino Merchant Guild and the Earl of Astria are inseparable. It's just that it's not just blood mixed up, but I've heard that the relationship is abnormal.

Staying in the royal province, I received a rough report from Eluna.

However, the information is so short that we don't know at this time whether the ‘main dish’ that the Delfino Merchants Guild said would become a war or something else.

So I had to ask again.

“Will there be a war? ”

“It's not going to be easy. Maybe he's having his own demonstration of her going to the Royal Road. ”

“They're funny. They treated me aesthetically first, then came and laid waste to me. It's just a bunch of minions. Aren't you ashamed to be an Earl of the Kingdom? ”

I purposely say that and then lower my head slightly, pretending to realize the burden late.

“I'm sorry. I was too harsh. ”

“No. You told me exactly what I wanted to tell you. I feel better now. ”

Looks like Viceroy Jun isn't so bad after all. I'm a butler, but I'm a semi-noble, so making these political remarks doesn't seem to be a big deal.

We often have to have opinions in the future.

“So how is our family coping? ”

“Master Baryan led the elite to the border himself. They can't provoke us anymore. He's a veteran of the Hundred War. ”

“Don't you think it's a misunderstanding to move around in the military? ”

“It's the master's idea that there's no reason we can't train over there. ”

You're absolutely right. In fact, it's best to be unresponsive, but I can't help but move around the military because I have a family face.

You'll hear that you're incompetent if you hold your weapon close to the border and stir it hard.

My head started spinning.

Numerous possibilities pass through your mind.

If a war breaks out just in time for the company to grow, everything goes back to bulldozing. Establish an office in each territory and remain peaceful until there is a Node in the Royal City.

“Did you and your trade ever stop? ”

“Not yet. Trading volume has decreased a bit, but they don't prevent merchants from entering or paying taxes incorrectly. ”

“Thank God for that. ”

“Rather, what I think is a little strange. ”

Janlov tilts his head, disadvantaged. He looked like he couldn't understand even if he thought about it again.

“The Delfino Merchants Guild trade volume has increased. If you're creating tension, the Delfino Merchants Guild, representing the Earl, will have to reduce its trading volume. Isn't it strange that it has increased? ”

“Absolutely. There's a possibility he's up to something. ”

“That's why I feel like I'm doing research at the top. Well, it won't be a big deal from experience. Just think of it as a cold. It's because you can laugh and talk like you're getting along, but you can't. We need to focus on what we're doing. ”

“Now that I'm a sham, I'm a little more concerned about family matters. ”

“As expected, your loyalty is great. ”

I lowered my head slightly to show my humility.

“Anyway, I hope it goes well. ”

“I'm sorry it didn't work out, but as soon as I got here, I had some bad news. But I have to ask you a question. How's the girl? ”

“Yes, she's doing well. ”

“Britain speaks very highly of you. I didn't know he had so much stuff in the foreground. ”

“Thank you for your kind attention. I'm learning a lot. You're a knowledgeable man.”

Janlov nods and pulls something out of the drawer. He brought a document made of silk in a wooden box and gave it to me.

“This is a document to prove that you are the one who received the vomit. It's a formality, but keep it safe. ”

“Thank you, but how big is the Tordand region? ”

“You'd better not expect too much. ”

“I'm not looking forward to it, I'm just asking. ”

Janlov smiles at you as if you were looking at your grandson's twisted talent.

“Tordand is a small area about two days west of Adelina. The terrain is rough because of the mountain ranges. Monsters often attack here. Land isn't that fertile either. That's why there's only one town. I'll have to ask the Home Office, but I know it's less than 100 people. ”

“I see.”

My goal, which I had dreamed of in SimCity, was shattered while I was coming here, was to answer the question randomly. If there are a lot of mountains, it won't be easy to get around.

I feel like I'm shaking something.

It's not an earthquake.

It's like my menthol is shaking.

No, let's be positive.

On the contrary, it might be a good thing. The rough terrain means it's easy to build a secret art site. We don't need large territory right now anyway.

Later, if you make a lot of money and become famous, then you can buy land or get a title.

I thought I should go back and take a look at preaching the continent. We need to see what's beyond the mountains and what resources are nearby.

“Is my job unchanged? ”

“I'm on a special mission right now, so I won't make a difference. Anyway, since you've been promoted to deacon, come down to Rosetta tonight. I'll prepare a special dinner for you. Say hello to the other butlers. ”

“Thank you for your consideration. ”

“To be honest, it was when I fell off the balcony that I realized I was you…… I didn't expect my friend to grow so well. ”

I didn't know it was going to be like this. If the apprentice test papers hadn't been mistakenly processed, none of this would have happened in the first place.

“So am I. I don't know who scored on the apprentice test, but I want to thank you. ”

“Hahaha. Yeah, I'll give you a chance to say hello later. ”

Janlov pranks and jokes. He seemed to have increased his credibility because of the rise in rank.

I took an example and came out of his office.

When I left the office, I immediately found Lohan. It was the only thing I could do with my own skin. Fortunately, he was able to easily meet me if he heard I was back.

“Greetings, my friend! ”

“W-what are you doing?! ”

I stretched out my arms and rushed at him. And I hugged him. I also remembered the status window.

○ Lohan Jennerix

Rank:

Level: 10 (+3)

Characteristics: cleaning S (+), information gathering A, negotiation B, narrative B, landscape B, cooking C, cleaning mastery C, Administration D,???

Status: Pine Tree Faith

Interest: A hot night with a beautiful woman, delighted by the success of her friends.

Favorability: 95

Values: Very good

[not open]

……

You've leveled up three times in the meantime. There is a characteristic up there. One of his specialties, cleaning, became rank S. I even attached it to the cleaning mastery.

Now I just need a broom or a mop to clean it up like new.

In fact, Lohan's ability to clean was a saw among apprentices. So I know that I've recently received an addition point.

And the interest is…….

I knew you were teasing me about my stomach ache. Like a wild friend, he truly celebrates my success.

Let's stop analyzing and look at the new items.

There were two open status window notifications, but there were also two new items open.

It was‘ Likeability ’and‘ Values’.

I don't know what to use the values for, but I thought it would be very useful.

If Lohan is about 95 instead of 100, it will be quite difficult to raise it to 90 or more. This is gonna be my favorite. Third-party favoritism will never come together like this.

However, in case you haven't noticed, I'm also going to take a look at the status window of many people.

and Values Entries.

His values are very good.

Lohan is a good person in nature, although he is frequent. Perhaps Arwendo is very good at his values. Maybe more.

It might be helpful to be able to distinguish between good and evil.

Of course, not all bad guys don't help me. At least we can use it as a basis for judgment.

“What a shame! You filthy bastard! ”

“It's good to see you. Nice to meet you. You don't have to call me dirty, do you? ”

“You'd think someone would've met their family after 10 years of war. ”

I knocked him on his back and retreated. Instead of being angry, Lohan looks ridiculous.

Then I saw a sword on my waist, and I took a step back and respectfully respected it.

“Congratulations on your promotion. Lord Dylan. The future of the Adeline family will be brighter... No, it seems to be getting darker. ”

“Don't say the last word. ”

“Excuse me. ”

I took the letter out of my arms and handed it to him. Arwen asked me to tell Lohan. After checking the name on the outside, Rohan put the letter in his heart.

“You paid the price? ”

Lohan responded faintly to what I said.

“What are you talking about? For what?”

“You said you'd get a letter from a nice lady in the royal family in exchange for information. If Arwen were to be called a beautiful girl, she wouldn't have a scratch. ”

“…… it's my fault that I trusted you. Whew.”

Rohan sighs. This is an open space, so we moved to speak more comfortably. The place I used to stay.

Immediately after entering the room, Rohan lay down on the bed and began to purposely mutter.

“Ahhhh! I can't believe you became Baron! You have a butler on top of that? I can't believe it. I can't believe it! ”

“Don't you think the reaction is too boring? ”

“I got a title and my eyes are looking up! ”

“You need to be more excited to get in touch with the beauty in the royal city, don't you think? ”

Rohan kicks his tongue and rises to his feet. With my arms crossed, I got to the point.

“What happened to the job I asked you for? ”

“I sent you a letter yesterday. I think I got sidetracked on the way here. ”

“I see.”

“As you may have heard, there is nothing special about the beginning of a quarrel with the Earl of Astria. ”

“What about the Confederates?”

“The first Confucius is boasting about something like the fountain pen, the second Confucius is diving, and the third Confucius is crying. ”

“Why are you crying? ”

“The First Confucius was in charge of a big business. That's why the mood is being drawn towards you, so it's probably tearful. ”

Things were going as I expected. Over time, the position of the third prince seems to be getting smaller and smaller.

If we don't put up a battle, we won't be able to stand up again.

How do you deal with the second one, by the way?

It's a little burdensome to reveal that you're obsessed with dark magic and necromancy. I'll roughly find a way to solve it on my own terms.

Then the succession quarrel will be two waves.

Honestly, even the scenario where the third official joins the family is not bad for me. It's supposed to be nice.

“Anyway, don't worry, we're still collecting information. Once a week, you will receive a letter. ”

“Got it.”

At that time, my gaze turned toward the door. My sensitive nerves felt popular.

Gurgle!

The door opens and someone shows up boldly.

It was the third accomplice.

I knew you weren't good enough.
