Marquis' Express Butler

216. Take off your mask (2)

Eventually, Sapiella's baby was dressed in the clothes I had chosen. I think I understand that I can only live on a level similar to the colonists.

The same is true of where I lived. When a guy in a suit with a fancy Mercedes is standing in front of me, he's unconscious.

This is a place where people live, and even the surface identification works, plus it's not so bad.

“Sir Dylan. ”

Lord Paramella, once a butler and knight, is guarding the visit of Confucius Hamel in a solemn and dignified manner.

I bow slightly.

“It's been a long time. How have you been?" ”

“I'm doing well. Except the honor isn't used to it. ”

“You may speak freely. ”

“How can I say that comfortably? I feel like I'm seeing my youth, and I feel weird in a lot of ways. ”

It's been a long time since Lord Paramella has laughed like that.

He was on the front lines and has just returned home.

As Duke Hamel's guardian knight, he did not follow the royal road. Confucius Hamel demonstrated the magnificence of dispatching his hand to the front. It was to monitor the walk of the First Confederate.

After all, he was Lord Paramella's knight, so he had to attend a strategy meeting and asked him to gather various information as he went back and forth between his factions.

It's a bold gamble with his life on the line.

“I heard you took good care of the Prince even though you were late. ”

“You didn't curse. ”

“Your insult is like a compliment. ”

We laughed at each other. I think I heard the word "insulting a superior person" quickly creates a bond, but I feel like I'm getting closer to the progress of Paramella.

“Sir, are you in there? ”

“You're resting, but you'll be pleased to hear the Lord is here. ”

Then Sir Paramella inwardly informed me that I was here. I was told to come in with a dry voice.

I opened the door and went inside.

Confucius Hamel was half-lying on the couch eating snacks. Her mouth tucks in something sweet, but her eyes are sharply forged above all else.

“Isn't today the day you're going out in secret with Ella? ”

“The lady is preparing now. ”

“Who leaves the Knights? ”

“Sir Arthur. ”

“Do you want to be together? ”

“We have to do something. It's what she wants. ”

In my words, Confucius Hamel snorted and threw his snack onto the bowl.

“Is it a game of hide-and-seek, trying to seduce a good brother who knows nothing about the world? ”

“I'm just following the lady's wishes. ”

“Follow your will? Hahahaha.I made a mistake. Huh? I almost made a big mistake! I don't even know who my guardian is. ”

I feel a little uncomfortable planting. I think I should talk back now.

“Something worrying you. ”

“It's suspicious. ”

“Me?”

“No, First Aide. ”

I was thinking my head was going to hurt a little, but I was troubled. I asked.

“Did something happen? ”

“Rather, nothing happened. ”

“You're lucky it didn't work out, right? ”

“The problem is I can't read minds. ”

From what I've heard, it seems that Confucius Kaien is still breathing. It was Prince Prague's steering wheel. More than one competitor gave me. Now it's a 1: 1 battle.

“So I had to hit the player, but I didn't know which side to hit the back. If it wasn't for me, the game would be bigger. ”

“Then may I have a word with you?" ”

“Recite.”

I was interested in the eyes of the princess. I paused and said quietly.

“You know Sapiella wrote to the royal family not long ago, right? ”

“Yes, I heard about it. It's gonna take me a while to get back to you. ”

“I think there will be a positive response. ”

“You mean the princess is coming to the territory? ”

“Yes, we had a good chance at the Princess' birthday party. because I've been able to meet many nouns. ”

Confucius Hamel nodded and agreed with me. In fact, the completion he showed was more effective than the fact that I met the king and set the fountain pen in motion.

“Progress your relationship with the Princess, if possible. ”

“... You want me to sell myself? ”

“No way. It's not a one-time relationship. It's a bigger one. ”

The princess's eyes sparkled.

“Premarital?”

I nodded.

“I have to kill for my family and for my son. I had to get to know the king before, and I knew what she was worth. ”

“What?”

“It was not uncommon for Princess Ofelia to succeed. ”

Prince Hamel's eyes twitched. But there are no big surprises. Everyone already knows that Ophelia is conquering the royal social system.

If that power reaches the high officials, it's not uncommon for a queen to be born. There are a lot more mountains to climb, though.

“That's what I had in mind, isn't it? ”

“Yes. I have a feeling you'll play a vital role, even if you don't have a successor." ”

“I see. Well, I've never lost a thing listening to you. ”

What, did you just compliment me? I was shocked.

“What are you so surprised about? ”

“I didn't think you'd be so complimentary. People are dangerous if they suddenly change, so be careful. ”

“Shut up. You'll figure it out, but report back to me as soon as you hear from the princess.“ ”

“Very well. One more thing, perhaps you could enlarge the enclosure a bit. ”

“If it's a storehouse... you mean property? ”

“That's right.”

The third problem with Confucius is that he has no great appetite for wealth. Usually people with a lust for power follow their lust like a one-plus circle, but not with a Hamel Confucius.

It is because he does not want to succeed because he has a desire for power.

Fundamentally, it comes from the love of devotion to territory and territory. And that's where I'm pushing the third one.

So he has no more wealth than he thought.

I usually pay in Mathis' name every month, but that's not enough for a kid's chips.

“What we need is not a million soldiers, but money to feed them and arm them. It takes money to do something big. ”

“I know that, but there's not a lot of holes in it. You've seized control of all of our lands. ”

“It would be easier, then. ”

“To increase your winnings? ”

I shook my head.

“That doesn't look good. We need to find a way to profit fairly. ”

“Keep reciting. ”

“The First Confucius is interested in martial arts. I'm focusing on training knights and growing my troops. They may want to take over by force. ”

“So?”

“If you rob the palace here and do something else, you'll get more attention. I'm going to show you some good business, and you just have to do it the same way. ”

I would recommend an education and welfare business.

The word "welfare" doesn't really fit with this era at all. Human rights are similar. But it just doesn't work, so if you modify it properly, it can be a good policy.

I do not intend to introduce democracy in this era to create an equal society.

Output will be enormous just by setting up an academy for the commoners and nobles and conducting education for free.

The problem with this era is that it underestimates the possibilities of ordinary people.

Having placed some identification restrictions and a cradle for raising talent will eventually help the territory and it won't hurt.

For example, if you give a subnoble position to the head of a public academy, or an opportunity to build a ball, you can attract good talent even if you don't get recommendations.

Of course, I'll give the title of nobility to the head of the Academy for Nobles, not Subnobles. If there were no difference, the nobles would react.

The only problem, however, is the money that can execute this plan.

I explained the plan briefly and simply to the Confucius. He's got a good head. He'd understand. You can accept it your own way.

“That's a lot of money. ”

“I will invest all that money in Mathis. ”

“Why is it an investment? I should give it to you. ”

I laughed and said.

“This is a time when compassion, tolerance and mercy are needed. Rather, the anxious city that started with the Astrians is helping. In other words, it's the difference between power and culture. You have to go on two routes to get a quote right away. ”

“So you want me to appeal to the rule of culture? The First Prince wants to rule powerlessly. ”

“That's right.”

The duke who was sweeping his chin sighed deeply.

“You know, money can't buy a man's heart. It takes a long time and effort. ”

“Well, I think it's half right, half wrong. Don't you need money to serve tea? Navigate towards enriching academic and cultural discipline in the territory of Adeline. We're here to help. ”

The first prince's temper is ferocious. There's even blue there, so there's no answer.

In other words, the heir of the Kain Confederacy means that even the hypocrites can't sleep comfortably. What if this is where Confucius Hamel throws his image out of the wreck and goes into a real confrontation?

I finally presented him with an offer that had been postponed.

“Now take off your wretched mask. It's time to take the ultimate swordplay. ”

The silence has gone crazy.

To the extent that I could feel the pores open, the Confucius began to stare at me.

“Masks.”

A muttering Confucius suddenly laughed.

“When are you going to take that off? ”

“I still need more time. I don't need a successor. ”

“I think it's best for Ella to undress. ”

“We should when the time comes. Anyway, I want to hear your answer. ”

A prince who was momentarily thinking woke up from his seat.

“Take off your wretched mask. That's a good proposition. I can't wait to try it. How do you think your father and the deceased will react? ”

“I don't know how you react, but I'm sure they'll judge you differently than before. ”

“Shut up. Who's evaluating who? Only I can evaluate someone. ”

“You have to succeed to do that. ”

“Cocky bastard! ”

The Confucian squirmed and complained, but I was right, so I couldn't argue much.

“Good. Let's be new, shall we? ”

“I feel uneasy to be away for a while at a time of great importance. ”

“Don't talk nonsense. ”

“I mean it. It's a shame I didn't get to see this. You wouldn't know. Can't you see my tail's already gone up? ”

“Hahahaha!”

A cool smile shook his hand. I took an example, expecting him to change.
