After the Dark Slaver's Gotagota was over, I invited my brother to the Mansion for dinner with me.

Me and my brother in the big dining room, pinching a long table vertically and sitting facing each other at quite a distance.

Brother Henry, you don't even have to hold him that far, but this is one of the courtesies.

Dylan, the butler, came into the dining room at the maids' service where the meal proceeded and I thought I'd be the main dish.

Dylan greeted my brother first and then slapped me in the ear.

"... ok, you can back off"

"Yes, sir."

"What's going on, Noah, what's going on"

The First Prince, Brother Gilbert, from your house.

"Well, what have I said?"

My brother stopped his hand, and his eyes glowed and he heard.

"You caught me well. When I questioned the undelivered, I knew they were cheating on my name and doing business. I was going to go to court tomorrow, but I killed myself in a gap that took my eyes off me."

"... right"

My brother sighed, I sighed too.

Damn, people say it's a treasure......

I exchanged my eyes with my brother, I nodded to the point where I pulled my chin slightly, not from either side.

Me and my brother both know that, probably the same words must have crossed our minds.

Lizard tail cut.

No mouth for the dead is the same thing everywhere in every age.

And to say that I will seal my mouth that far.

"The Dark Slaver is what my brother ordered me to do."

"Oh."

Brother Henry snorted up too.

"Gilbert has always been. Business - owning a store or buying a mansion. Anyway, I was obsessed with that."

"I have no choice, brother."

"What?"

Brother Henry was surprised, frowning and staring at me.

"Brother Gilbert is the first prince, but the son of the sideroom, because of that, he couldn't be the crown prince. Is it to clear up that depression, or are you looking for a replacement because you won't inherit the empire itself? Commercial and manor gardens are alternatives."

……

After I said it all at once, Brother Henry kept staring at me silently for some reason.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"No... do you know that too? Make it. Wow, you are."

"Really? If you think about it, you'll see."

That's not true.

Brother Henry smiled nicely and laid his hands on the main dish the maids had brought.

Meshi didn't taste very good because I heard bad things about my chest (lizard tail cut).

After Brother Henry left, the mansion's living room.

Me, Shirley the escort, and a few boys and girls were in the same room.

In the room where the lantern lights illuminated, in front of me sitting, the boys and girls who were about to be sold were kneeling.

Five in all, three boys, two girls.

He's about my age now, just a little way off from meeting and being born, and maybe he was in a pattern like he was even hiding with me.

Ask such boys and girls.

"In the meantime, my hands turned. You are free. They won't sell it for this one."

……

I declared my emancipation from slavery, but the five are not so pleased, they are rather just staring at each other in confusion.

Is this... that it?

"You can go anywhere. You want to go somewhere?

"There isn't..."

One of the girls, in the middle, answered with a voice that the first girl to stop my carriage was about to disappear.

"You don't?

"Yes...... I was sold in lieu of the cost of this year's seed"

"I paid for my mother's funeral."

"It's mouth-watering..."

The boys and girls complained about their respective circumstances.

All of them, there is no place to return, or they will be sold again in time.

By the way, parents are better off selling to dark slavers for a better price.

There's nothing to tease about, just that dark slavers don't have to pay taxes, so they can spin that amount of money and buy it high (,,).

Parents like you once sold it to a dark slaver must sell it again, even if your child comes back.

"Okay. Dylan."

Knock on your hands and call Dylan, the butler.

I barely made room between them, and Dylan came into the room.

"Would you like to call me?"

"I'll take all these guys. Separate the beds from the proper work."

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

And if he's smart, let him study.

"Ha, as usual"

"Wow, are you going to buy us!?

The girl asked with half surprise and half joy.

"Don't buy it, so you can leave whenever you want too, except..."

So once I cut the word, I look at the boys and girls one at a time.

You felt something coming out of my sight, everyone was soaked and had a hard drink.

"I will never use a person who left once again. It means I won't tolerate traitors."

……

Boys and girls as pokers.

Hmm? Was it difficult?

You guessed that, Dylan from the side.

"You just have to be sincere without betraying me. Quickly thank Your Highness."

And stuck the kids together.

The stuck kids thanked me on their knees, and then they took me to Dylan.

In the room where I was alone, I thought of something.

"Call Evelyn."

When I slapped my hand and said that, a while later, the maid Evelyn showed up.

A maid who has been in charge of customer service at the Mansion for a long time.

"Would you like me to call you, sir?"

"Oh, I brought you this"

That's what I said, I took out the larger envelope and handed it to Evelyn.

Evelyn received it properly.

"What's this?

"It's a decree. It's in Almeria, the governor of a small land."

"Tocha......"

Evelyn crushes to parrot back with a flat accent because of unfamiliar words.

"It's an immediate entry into force, and now you're an official on one end."

"Duh, why to me?

Evelyn has listened back with half a surprise and half a joy.

The enclosure given to the prince is quite extensive, naturally not everything can be done by the prince alone.

For this reason, we will delimit the land in detail and send the governor to rule on his behalf.

Acting ruler of the prince - the common people also call him deputy.

Maid to deputy - quite the birth.

"I've been looking at you for years, you're the smartest maid I've ever been to. That cleverness is a waste of just being in charge of customer service as the maid of the mansion. That's what I thought."

"So, but! That, I..."

Evelyn let her gaze wander.

Apparently you're choosing words.

"I'd rather be serving your husband more than going out and coming out!

Evelyn has gone down like a jerk.

With sincere words, it conveys what I mean.

"I know, but you stretch. And if you stretched out and were active, you would have had the eye to see the man I appointed."

"Ah..."

"Outside, work for me"

"Yes! I get it!

Holding the decree to his chest like a treasure of a lifetime, Evelyn walked out of the living room half happy and half determined.

"Wow......"

"Hmm?"

Turn around and look at Shirley.

Shirley, who has been escorting me since just now.

Escorts in these cases are not just for your own safety.

Depending on the case, the aristocracy, in its capacity, has something to lose just because it "got its hands on straight away".

This is the case, and in the unlikely event that the children are attacked upside down, the prince's me shouldn't fight back directly.

The sin is aggravated by the loss of nobility and by the slighting of the hands of the prince on the other side.

That's why I put Shirley down.

Shirley is a knight, not a nobleman.

In case the kids do something, if Shirley does it, nothing will go wrong.

That Shirley wrapped her tongue around me and stared at me like I was touched.

"What?

"His Royal Highness the First Prince and the way people are used at all -"

"Shirley"

I blocked Shirley's words.

"That's it, I don't care what you think."

"Yes! I'm sorry."

Shirley made a hasty apology.

I apologized and didn't say it by mouth.

He kept staring at me with respect ever since.

The next morning.

I was summoned to the morning ceremony between His Majesty and the ministers to be held between the sights.

I was called where I had done a street of government, and I left the line of ministers, one knee down, and gave a toast to His Majesty.

After taking it, Your Majesty.

"I heard what you said, Noah. I hear you protected Gilbert's honor."

"It's a coincidence"

Are you talking about the Dark Slaver?

That means Brother Gilbert reported it himself.

You're good.

Makes it look like there's nothing more annoying about making a proper offer than hiding it weirdly.

"But some of the undelivered, deceiving Gilbert's name. What is a dark slaver? I wonder what kind of sin the Dark Slave trade was."

"Ha, slavery without delivery under imperial law - trafficking in human beings is a sentence of amputation of arms if you are the principal offender, and below your accomplice is a sentence of service"

"Really? First Chancellor."

"Your Highness is right."

He is at the front of the line, the First Chancellor replied with a slight hip break.

"Hmm. Yeah, was Noah hurt? I hear it's been attacked upside down."

"Fortunately, I was able to return the favor."

"Right. Well, it's Noah, so I'm not even supposed to get hurt. If it was the rest, I would have been bummed out while I was wondering if I should be named."

Then it was a crime of great disrespect, the death penalty.

Although the First Chancellor replied straight to His Majesty in the course of the conversation.

"No."

And I argued against it.

"In imperial law, the crime of disrespect does not apply to those who do not know who His Majesty is, that is, before His Majesty named him with patience. In this case, it's just a crime of injury."

The moment I said it, it just became quieter and quieter between quiet glances.

The ministers are all staring at me.

You may have said too much, "offense of disrespect" - that is, not being rude to the emperor is inherently a delicate story.

If we're talking about analogy like this, maybe we should talk about sesame seeds and disrespect, but these (,,,) stories should be decent.

That being said, so is what I overstated.

I had no choice, I thought I'd apologize - then.

"Hehe."

His Majesty suddenly laughed.

"What do you say, First Chancellor, the bet is the rest of the win?

"We've seen it."

"Uh... what does that mean?

All of a sudden I had trouble with His Majesty laughing with the First Chancellor by saying "bet" or "win" and I couldn't grasp my intentions.

"What? I was making a little bet with the First Chancellor. I tried to see if Noah could speak straight and only with the law."

"Ha ha..."

Tried? For what?

"That's amazing, Noah. No, I've known Noah was strict about the law for six years. I checked that just in case."

……

It's Noah.

"Yes."

"In the name of the Emperor of the Empire, I order Noah Ararat to be Minister of Justice"

……

"" "Oooh!?

(i) After the silence of his breath, he was hailed by the ministers.

If they kind of tried it and answered it as usual.

I was ordered by the Minister of Justice.
