Price of Management

< -- 91 times: volume 4 - chapter 4. Returning -->

Most of the knights who died fiercely fighting the end of the war against the Horn Empire were named by King Erik because they were considered worthy monarchs by King Erik.

In short, there are a lot of talented unarmed people, but not a lot of them.

However, there was only one person who could see through the names of the list.

“Huh?"

“Why is that? ”

Earl Duron asked me a question, and I answered.

“No, I have someone I can see. ”

“Let's see. ”

The place I pointed to had the name Louie Concern written on it. The position was a Grade 9 terminal management, not more than two years old.

“Ah, the son of the Baron Concern. I saw your face the last time I was in my birthday. ”

“Is that so?”

Louie Concern.

How should this person be evaluated?

According to previous memories, when King Leaden was captured, the late Duke Duron confessed and his loyalty became a topic of conversation.

One of the young end guards of the hidden Kingdom of Lerdon popped out and asked Emperor Kars for an introduction.

For a pervert, they blamed cowardice for questioning or kicking their tongues because they had so confidently asked for it. Louie shouts as the soldiers try to get rid of him.

“I'll give the good things to the emperor of the Horn Empire, so let him know! ”

When Emperor Kars heard the news, he became interested and brought it to his attention.

Louis Concern submitted his famous hundred book documents. Its title was‘ Draft of Kingdom of Leaden by the Governor System ’.

It was a document describing how to effectively restore the Kingdom of Leaden.

It was a vast and thorough plan, so it could not be completed by preparing for a day or two.

In short, he knew that the Kingdom of Leaden would be destroyed and was preparing a gift that would appeal to the interests of the Horn Emperor.

It was an anecdote that showed Louis Concern how fast, capable, and cowardly and opportunistic he was.

In the end, Louie Concourse succeeded in gaining a job in the eyes of Emperor Kars and making it to the Governor of Lerdon.

Despite many blame in his life, he ruled the Kingdom of Leaden well as governor, preventing riots from spreading. Despite the fierce purging of nobles from the Kingdom of Leaden, he also condemned a lesser class like the commoners, making it a better place to live under his rule.

Lived single all his life, he donated his entire fortune to a temple dedicated to war refugee relief. He was a controversial figure in many ways.

I'm sure you're talented, but you have to be an incredibly quick opportunist.

“I don't know. I don't think he was much of a looker. ”

The late Duron doesn't seem particularly interested in Louis Concern. Well, from his point of view, it's one of the ends he's never heard of.

“May I speak with this man? ”

“I see.”

In the end, it seems that King Erik is too late, so he decided to come to his senses tomorrow and report.

* * *

“Bastards.”

Louie CONCERN uttered a profanity.

Louie is furious.

I thought my life was going well just when I joined the Kingdom of Lerdon as a royal steward.

But it was a mistake.

As soon as he was admitted, he asked you to investigate the situation because he was concerned that the Northern endemic disease would spread through the refugees.

It means to go to the dirty Slum every day and see if there is a spinning sickness.

Because no one wanted to do it, he handed himself over to Ledan.

Usually, Kingdom of Ledon was a dream workplace where only good household and well-connected officials could work.

“Yes, that was good. I wanted to see what I could do to become a better man! ”

Louie came to work every day in that filthy slum to avoid everyone else for a change. As a result, we have established the achievement of discovering black blood clots first.

If you rolled around in a mule instead, there would have been a price.

I thought I'd get something in return for rolling in the shit. And I thought that was a promotion.

Think about it.

The continent was the first to discover the outbreak of the Black Leukemia!

He also believed that the royal territory of the Kingdom of Ledon contributed to avoiding the nightmares of the Black Plague.

But there was no promotion.

Where is that?

There were no prizes for not doing it.

Instead, I just got a lot more work. Louie was able to figure out why.

The high-ranking officials of the royal family were the masters.

As members of a prominent family, they wanted to continue to gain control of their interests. I didn't want the young neophysiologists from the shameful family to stand out, not in league with themselves.

They knew King Erik was looking for talent, so they buried Louis. So I didn't put my name on the list of candidates for promotion.

In addition, they did not pay any prizes at all. This is because the award at the promotion screening next day will have a good impact on the record.

Instead, I decided to take advantage of Louis' ability to process his work for ten minutes. They gave all their work to Louis.

I don't work directly when I am a senior member of the Royal Family.

No, I usually have a lot of work to do, but I leave most of it to my subordinate managers to go out and play.

All they did was call in high-end prostitutes and get drunk or try to get their money back. No, I've heard that people take bribes on the side of the aftermath these days.

Country's a fucking sign.

They insist that if they do as they're told, they'll make a career out of Louie.

But Louie quickly guessed their insides, trying to use them and discard them.

I knew that if I wanted to stay in the Royal Administration, I had to follow it, so I was more angry.

“Bastards. We'll see. I'll never let you get away with this if I make it. ”

They will purge you like rotten flesh with a smiling face. They will take away all the wealth they have accumulated due to corruption and demote their wives and children to the common people. With a rotten father, every wife and child deserves a price.

But there was no way to get revenge. He was just a frustrated end manager.

However, if there is a good thing, it is natural to see the world going by while doing the work of senior officials.

‘Idiots. They don't know they're standing on the edge of a cliff, they're drinking and playing. ’

The intake of food and iron ore from the Horn Empire has decreased.

An essential item for food, iron ore, or war.

With its income diminished, the foolish officials will think the Horn Empire will not invade the Kingdom of Ledon.

Louie was different.

Louie knows that the financial impact of the Hunt Empire has greatly diminished due to the catastrophic famine and blackness. The decline in imports of food and iron ore is due to the decline in financial size.

Rather, the proportion of money they spend on food and iron ore imports in finance has increased.

He was clearly preparing for a war.

“Hmph, I'd rather die. ”

The Horn Empire will destroy those rotten bastards.

Considering that, I also thought there might be a better view of being in charge of the Horn Empire.

You are aware of the situation with the Kingdom of Leaden, so you may find the Emperor of the Horn useful.

Or give me something more useful.

“Hah...... Now I can imagine everything. ”

Louie started working again, buried in a pile of paperwork on his desk.

There were five officials working in the office, mostly end managers like Lou.

Working as a subordinate was a typical world of royal management.

Then a servant who works in the palace comes in and talks to Louis.

“Louie Concern. ”

“Hmm? What's going on? ”

“Baron Kunt, a guest of the Chancellor, requests to see Louis Concern. ”

“Baron Kunt? You mean Baron Caroc Kunt? ”

“Yes.”

All the managers who worked in the office stopped moving. Everyone stared at Louis.

Louie himself was embarrassed and surprised.

Baron Caroc Kunt.

There are probably no officials in the Royal Family who don't know its name these days. In the social world of the Kingdom of Leaden, it was a name that had recently begun to become a topic.

As the emerging bastard of the Kunt family, he became a trader and began to accumulate enormous wealth.

No one would argue with Baron Karoc Kunt's superior abilities.

You just have to look at the increasingly expanding wealth.

He met King Erik and gained the trust of his architect, Earl Duron.

Rumor has it that he may be crowned the highest official of the royal family, and the high officials are making a tactile gesture.

He is supported by King Erik and the late Duron, but he is also exceptionally talented. Moreover, he was young. For the senior officials, he could have been static or lightning strikes.

Besides, he's an excellent spirit.

‘Ha. You're one year younger than me, right? What difference does it make if it's the same age? ’

Baron Karoc Kunt, if he was from a prominent family, was purely in his current position.

Every time Louie remembers that name, she wonders if she's incapable.

Anyway, the important thing was that he was trustworthy. He wants to see himself?

Is this an opportunity? ’

Chance to reach the President of the Republic!

“I'd better get going, then. ”

Louie wakes up.

But it was then.

“Where are you going now? Now is the time for us to act as royalty's keepers. As long as Baron Kunt is not royal custodian, he has no right to summon you during business hours. ”

George, the motivational end manager, stood up and stopped him.

The horse was the dog of a fellow officer and watched over other comrades.

George immediately stopped him from feeling ominous when Louie met Karoc Kunt, who was close to the Chancellor.

“I have time to spare, no problem. ”

“Exiting the workplace is not a royal position. Reporting this may cause you disadvantages. ”

Louie ponders for a moment.

Why would Baron Kurt want to see himself? Maybe it was nothing.

Ignore George's warning and just go. George will report to senior officials immediately.

What should we do?

Louie conflicts for a moment, but soon decides.

“Suit yourself. ”

Louie pushes George out of the office.
