Price of Management

Even though it was my wedding day, I wasn't expecting Rick because he wasn't coming.

But thankfully, Rick arrived three hours before the wedding. It's because I haven't seen Rick in decades that I want to see his face again.

But I didn't know Duke Meutt was coming.

Duke Krail Meutt.

He is the only error master in the country and a target of admiration for knights.

With so many disciples teaching swordsmanship, I called his castle the Temple of Knights.

He controls territory on the border with the Horn Empire and is also called the guardian god of the Kingdom of Leaden.

Even the higher-level landscape raises its tail in front of Duke Meutt. It is because they do not follow him in title or position or character or in any way.

In fact, Duc Meutt was defending the country from the threat of the Horn Empire when the Jehovah grew old and roared with the Royal Family.

Duke Meutt is a typical royal figure who is loyal to the royal family, but the Horn Empire does not allow him time to intervene in domestic political warfare.

If it weren't for the threat of the Horn Empire, the Jehovah would not have had the courage to confront Duke Meutt.

If Brother Rick was alone with Duke Meutt, it meant he was the disciple he trusted so much.

The attendance of Duke Meutt at Arthur's wedding. Ah-ha-ha, what a surprise. I never thought something like this would happen.

This will increase the status of our family. The Duke of Orr, Master Krail Meutt, has come to celebrate House Kunt.

When my father and Arthur heard the news, they hurried to run. I was the same.

“It's an honor to meet you, Duke! I am Bird of Kunt. I have always admired your reputation. ”

Father greeted Duke Meutt with a slightly trembling voice. Duke Meutt nods.

“Greetings. I hear your name often, though not Rick's talk. It's fortunate to have someone like you in his loyalty. ”

That was the best compliment for my father.

I could see how much he admired Duke Meutt when I saw his expressionless face.

Yes, every knight will react like his father.

Duke Meutt is a target of admiration for all knights. There was even a polarized article that wanted to emulate Duke Meutt's entire family.

Hmm? Wait.

If you do this well... This could be a great opportunity!

I clenched my fist at the idea of touching the brain instantly. It was an opportunity to grow the business well.

After Father's greeting, this time, the new groom and Arthur stepped out.

“I greet Duke Meutt, whose anonymity is known throughout the world. My name is Arthur, Duke Kunt. ”

“Congratulations on your marriage. ”

“Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Well, is it my turn now?

I stand before Duke Meutt.

“Baron Caroc Kunt. It is an honor to meet you, Duke. ”

“You must be Caroc. ”

Duke Meutt smiles faintly at me.

Everyone was surprised when a smile spread over his sternly clasped mouth.

“I've heard that you've done the royal court a great service. Thanks to you during the Great Plague, the Royal Society was able to supply us with supplies safely. ”

Duke Meutt is a lord with 20,000 men under his command. He is using all his power to prepare for the invasion of the Horn Empire.

As a royal, he needed the full support of Duke Meutt who was devoted to his country. I heard that they provide military meals and funding every year.

“As a loyal servant of the House of Leaden, I did what was right. ”

“But let's face it, I had your help, too. I want to repay you. ”

Duke Meutt surprised everyone.

In return for Duke Krail Meutt! No one will ever know how great that is.

“How can you expect me to repay you without hesitation for the duc's safety? ”

In my answer, my father and Brother Arthur nodded and replied that they had done well once.

“Tell me one thing you want. ”

Duke Meutt once again said,

Hmm. That's enough of this gymnastics, right?

Now I have to tell you what I want. What the hell is this? I had one thing I wanted from Duke Meutt, which is good.

If you are a simple merchant, please allow me to deliver weapons to Duke Meutt's army! ’You must have wished, right?

But I'm different.

The idea of a 92-year-old in a 74-year-old merchant career is not that simple.

I opened my mouth.

“Then I'll ask you for one thing. ”

“Speak.”

Everyone paid attention to me.

“If you don't mind, could you lend me the Duke's sword for five minutes? ”

Everyone was surprised at that. Because my request was so surprising.

“Is that a metaphor? ”

“No, I literally want you to borrow the sword in the duc's waistdance for five minutes. ”

“My sword... Hahaha! ”

Duke Meutt bursts into laughter.

“You really are an unknown friend. Kuhaha! Here, take it! ”

He gladly pulled the long sword from his waist and threw it at me.

I respectfully received it with both hands, and I bowed my head and said,

“Thank you very much. I'll return it in five minutes. ”

Then I came out with a sword.

I searched for no one and entered the room that used to be my bedroom.

And summoned the gnome.

- Did you call him?

A gnome that pops out like a mole.

I showed Norm Duke Meutt's sword.

“Noum, take a good look at this and remember. ”

-Yeah.

Gnome carefully examined a sword larger than my height.

- I remember.

“Yes, well done. But do you recognize the material of this sword? ”

- Um... I know what it is, but I don't know what it's called.

“So that's the Misrill Dagger, then. ”

There is no mineral in the world that the spirit of the earth, gnome, does not know about. I just don't know the name.

- Is that a missile?

“Yes.”

I returned Noonum to the room with Duke Meutt and his family with a sword.

“Here you go. ”

I politely handed the sword over to Duke Meutt.

Duke Meutt, who took it and filled his waist with dancing, smiled faintly at me and turned his gaze away.

Everyone looked at me and knew what they had done with the sword for five minutes, but I didn't. It all has a deep meaning.

We all greeted Duke Meutt, and now Rick is reuniting with his family.

“How have you been? You should write once a year, you brute. ”

Arthur pinched Rick.

Rick scratches his head.

“I didn't think of that either, but I keep forgetting. ”

I nodded my head to see if I could sympathize with him.

“I will. If you're obsessed with practicing swordsmanship, you won't notice anything else. ”

Then Arthur said, "So you're not doing anything and you're making me suffer? ’I stared with my eyes, and my father asked me to do something else.

“Here, Master. What do you think? I've actually seen my father. Which one of you and me looks the other three? ”

Your father's curiosity flashes in his eyes at Rick's silly questions.

Brother Rick was just like his father when he came to Excellency Expert. He was five years older than me, so he was already 25 years old, so he deserved to be called the Sword Genius.

But he's not a genius like Brother Rick, but he's an owner of great talent and passion, and there's no one around here to stand for it.

Duke Meutt opens his mouth.

“I was a little surprised. You could be left behind by your father. ”

“Yes?”

Rick and his father's eyes widen.

It meant that Father could reach the Master before Brother Rick did.

“No way! I'm a genius? ”

The word "culprit" made my father flinch, and tendons rose from his forehead.

“Tsk, tsk.”

You're a genius with your mouth, Rick. Duke Meutt just slapped his tongue.

“Father, will you fight with me in a while?! ”

“Oh, be careful. This father has been watered up lately. ”

A foolish rich sword that burns with determination facing each other.

At this rate, I left because I thought I would run to the training ground without seeing Arthur's wedding.

“Rick, can't you see me? ”

“Oops, Carroc! Yeah, Caroc, it's been a long time! ”

Then Rick hugged me. I hugged you, too.

His eyes flush with his strong body and body temperature.

It's been a long time, sir.

I really wanted to see my brother who was always cheerful again.

…… Don't die so futilely this time.

* * *

The wedding took place heavily.

In keeping with the lively music, people danced and were located in the center of the center of Arthur and Ray. Both of them kissed in front of everyone and swore an eternal love oath, after which the bard's singing or circus act aroused them.

How excited I was, I was able to entertain people with some magic with spirits.

Some lords will give you a lot of money, so it must have been fun for me to ask you to come to my son's wedding.

Of course they refused.

I'm a Spirit Corps, not a circus!
