Price of Management

Chapter 3. Advancing the Legion

King Erik's chamber is desolate.

Neither King Eric nor Grand Duke Duron, nor I, were so surprised to read the letter that I could not say anything. In front of the three of us, Rick smiles.

This morning, Rick visited the royal palace in earnest.

As soon as I got to the palace, I ignored the procedure and stirred the palace, asking where the king was.

The people of the royal palace were embarrassed because I couldn't help but overlook him because he is my brother. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why are you looking at me? What are royal skills if you're related to a powerful man? I'm just gonna take him down and put him in jail.

Anyway, after meeting King Erik, Rick delivered his father's reply, and the reply was shocking.

In summary:

1. Reject because you are newlyweds.

2. My second son is now a master, so work hard for him.

Of course, I swung around more elegantly and swirled around like this, but in the end the point was these two.

King Erik says to Brother Rick with a bright face.

“Are you sure you've become the Master to come? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. With your help, I was able to realize the drama of nothingness with difficulty. ”

Oh, that was a proper response for Rick.

“Wow, that's amazing. The Kunt family is truly the treasure of this country! ”

King Eric rejoices greatly.

The Marquis of Duron confronts as if surprised.

“With the remarkable prospects of Earl Ligand and Earl Kunt followed by Duke Rick, the Kunt clan's dazzling future seems to be visible. ”

“You are too complimentary. ”

Oh, Rick is humbled again. If it had been Rick, he would have said, "It's all because of this genius. ’I would have said the same thing. Arthur must have sent the bridegroom before he came.

By the way, Rick, who has experience in military service, is in charge of the 3rd platoon? I'm a little worried. No, I'm a lot worried.

Now that I am a master of error, I am qualified to take that position, but I am Rick's boss….

I'll have to think about it some more.

I opened my mouth thinking like that.

“Your Majesty, why don't you call in a military brochure and discuss the 3rd Troop with Rick? ”

King Eric nods.

“Good. Duke Rick Kunt. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“I worked hard to get here. I will release the poison in the prepared accommodations, and I will repay your accomplishments soon. ”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I want to stay in my brother's house. ”

“Oops, I see. You don't have to stay anywhere else. Haha.”

Brother Rick thanks King Erik and leaves the office.

Then King Erik asked me.

“What's going on? ”

“I'm afraid I can leave the third platoon with Rick, Your Majesty. ”

“What do you mean? You're not qualified enough to become a master of error. How can you be so mediocre when you are the son of Earl Kunt, the valiant and wise brother? ”

Oh, how thoughtful of you.

“Of course it's full of qualifications, but I can't help worrying because I have no command experience and a very stubborn personality. ”

“Hmm, is that so? Since your opinion of people is accurate, I should think about it. ”

Oh, I'm stabbed. I can't believe I'm going to talk about this with King Erik...

Of course, I want to see my brother succeed. But how do you get a squad of fools like you, Rick? I can imagine Rick flirting with the soldiers while drinking.

King Erik asks the late Duron if anything has come to mind.

“Marquis Duron, what is the age of the current Warlord Bautel? ”

“Count Charles Bautel is 62 years old this year. ”

Squad Leader Charles Bautel.

It was roughly heard that the military commander was an elderly man who had over 40 years of experience. I've heard that because I have a lot of experience, I am good at managing and managing troops, but I don't find any particular advantages in my ability to carry out war.

Originally, it was our original plan to retire the old Bautel and leave the 3rd Army to my father. Bird of Bautel himself was about to retire, so Jeron named the third legion.

King Erik narrows his eyes.

“If you're 62, aren't you younger than Earl Duron? ”

Duke Duron smiles and replies, noticing King Erik's intentions.

“It's still the middle of the day, Your Majesty. ”

That is the word of our Chancellor, who has passed the 70s. I know I've lived to be 90, but I'm still in my 60s, actually.

“I'll have to consult with the army registrar first, but I'll have to give the Earl's title and the Royal Special Forces Commander to Rick Kunt and appoint the deputy commander of the Bautel below." ”

The plan was to hand over the experienced Bautel to Brother Rick to take care of him.

“A wise decision. ”

Marquis Duron agreed. I nodded, too. That's good enough for me too. If the old man who's been on the job for a long time is next to me, even my corrected brother Rick will be a bit of a fixer.

* * *

That evening, I met Rick alone.

“Hey, Caroc! He was my brother. ”

“If I feel like it, I want to get rid of it all and play. ”

“Haha, little children talk like old men. But you like your house so much? ”

“Right? Baron Paoni, the genius architect, and myself. You heard the king. It's paradise in heaven. ”

I'm flattered by Rick's praise. What a fine house for a man to live in.

I walked through the mansion garden with Rick. The small garden at 200 meters high was delightful because it was decorated in all places. Living in such a nice place would be good for the fetus in cis' belly.

Rick admires the elongated landscape.

“Wow, that's really cool. Build me a house like this. ”

“…… Your house? ”

“Yes. I need to be independent now. Now that you're a master, you can't stay home and play the tank, can you? If a man is born, he must have accomplished something like you. ”

I'd play the tank.

Well, Rick was the next man without a succession, just like me. It wasn't my brother Rick who cared about that, but I didn't know what Arthur was going to say if I was going to sit at home and have fun.

“But you know what? Do I get a title? ”

Rick suddenly asks.

I nodded.

“Of course. Now that you have become a master, you will receive the title of Earl. And a new last name. ”

It was a common practice to lower a new castle if a nobleman without a succession receives a higher title than an Earl. Besides, if he's Earl Kunt and you're Earl Kunt, it's hard to tell the difference. There was also a purpose to distinguish between the titles of the two.

“A new castle... …. ”

Rick is not as usual deeply reminisced.

I also felt like I understood that heart.

That I'm no longer a Kunt. It's going to take a lot of thinking to start a new life as a man responsible for his family.

After a while, Rick wakes up from his thoughts.

“How's Fernando? ”

“…… Yes? ”

“My new name. Earl Ric Fernando! Isn't it wonderful? ”

Was that what you were thinking?! You need to take this seriously!

“Look, the king's last name is the king's dying wish, not your choice. ”

“Dude, I heard it all. I hear you're the best in the royal family these days. All you have to do is warn His Majesty. ”

What's with all the disrespectful humans?!

“Do me a favor, okay? That's my name."

Rick keeps poking me in the side and begging me to be reluctant to tell you, but don't count on it.

But maybe if I told you, King Erik would be happy to hear it. They'll stare at me in the face of insanity. Now, I'd like to take off this image of this crazy spirit, but Rick is making me more likely to be branded a weirdo brother.

“What do you mean, you like brothers? ”

You never made me feel better.

Anyway, we went through the garden and we talked and talked and talked.

Rick said he had no intention of getting married. I didn't want to create a responsible family because I knew it was so wild. Well, I thought you were Rick.

“I'll get about 300 disciples instead. I want to spend the rest of my life with my disciples. ”

Rick claps his hands and says,

“Oh, I'll put your child as my apprentice. ”

“Yes?”

What the hell is this, grazing?

“Hehe, I heard it all. You're pregnant, and I'll make you my favorite son or daughter. ”

“I specifically refuse. ”

“Why?! ”

“I'm afraid I'll learn your bad manners. ”

“Hmph, you talk about losing like the right thing to do. Crazy spirit stuff. ”

“Ugh, I don't like it anyway! ”

I hate sons who look like me, but I hate kids who mess with me like Rick! I hate fighting like my father, of course.

If he's a son, I hope he's as elegant and upright as Arthur. It's a man's example, Arthur.

I wish she was a good girl like our angel, Sis.

“Chet, you should be ashamed of one child. ”

Is this guy crazy?

“It's been a long time since you've had a fight with me. ”

“What? No, son! You want to beat me like the Marquis of Great Ghost? ”

“Yes. I'll make it look like a mop. ”

“Aren't you being too hard on your brother?! ”

“What do you mean, you're a kid? If you don't want to bathe in dirt, get a grip! ”

We fought until Julia called it quits and had dinner.

* * *

The next day, Rick's greeting was decided.

It was publicly announced as the reigning King Erik who had established a powerful kingdom after the deportation of the high management.

“I hereby bestow the title of Earl Rick, the son of Earl Kunt and the disciple of Duke Meutt, as well as the castle of Fernando. The Royal Army will also be reintroduced into the Royal Special Forces, appointing Earl Rick Fernando as the Royal Special Forces Commander and Duke Bautel as the Deputy Commander! ”

The regime of Ledon was horrified as if another storm had erupted.

Although it was the new Royal Special Forces, Rick's sudden appearance as an Earl of the New Castle was unexpected.

No, no one could have known why.

Those who didn't know that Brother Rick had suddenly become a master don't know why he suddenly gave himself a high position and appointed himself commander of the Royal Special Forces. Rumor has it that thanks to the prosperity of my brother, Duke Suzumi and I, Duke Meutt, we have a lightning strike.

King Erik was about to declare the birth of another error master for fear of such a rumor, but he decided not to disclose it at his brother Rick's request. The reason is,

“I want to look fabulous, too. ”

…… this was it.

It seemed that my father's influence was great.

My father went to Duke Meutt and announced his guilt to the world by competing in a battle, and Rick was determined to make this splendid debut.

Anyway, things got done quickly.

I also notified Baron Bautel, the commander of the 3rd platoon and deputy commander of the Royal Special Forces, so that he would not have any trouble welcoming him as commander. I liked the way the royal officials handled things quickly because of the human resources reform.
