Price of Management

We first visited the Royal Special Forces Garrison on the outskirts of the Baden River basin.

Royal Special Forces.

At one time, he was a member of the Royal Army. But it was purely renovated in the royal court to give Rick a position worthy of the Master's values.

The 3rd Army moved away from the Royal Army and became an Independent, and Rick was a commander with free command and was ruling here.

The great power of free command was that it could start a war without the permission of the royal family.

An army of Orders masters who can survive the war if they mess with their temper is stationed near the Baden River, so the threat card to resist the onslaught was great.

Of course, now that the four families are on the royal side, the strategic goals have also changed. The Royal Special Forces were the force that defended the Baden River basin during the invasion of the Horn Empire.

There, we snatched Rick, who was playing cards with the soldiers.

I thought he'd complain about all sorts of things, but Rick took it easy on him.

“It's your dad's retirement party, which is fun, but it's Arthur's inauguration party. ”

“Rick would have left everything to the X.O. to play with the soldiers, as well. ”

“Caroc. If you have a reputation for skillful talent selection and HR decision-making, you know that, but there's a place for everything. If you don't want to fight, playing around is for our army. ”

“…… I don't deny it. ”

“Now, don't talk trash to each other, just eat. ”

Julia takes out the baribari wrapped food and says, We ate beautifully in a flying earthhouse. Rick occasionally looks up at the view from the sky and says, "Sometimes a walk like this is okay. ’I muttered.

But wait a minute. Rick can't stand the boredom, so he rubs his cheeks on the sleeping Jis' balls and asks Julia if she has anything else to eat. Seeing this, I gained some speed.

Thanks to this, I soon reached Kunt territory.

“I'll get off first! ”

Earl Kunt's mansion looks down like a very small model, and Rick leaps in. Rick, who crashes violently from the sky, lands on the roof of the mansion while spinning a swirly swallow.

Kwajang Chang!

Oh, I did. The roof cracks around Rick's landing site.

The noise caused a commotion among the Kunt family members.

When I saw them in the sky, I asked Julia and Sis:

“Now that Rick has heard Arthur's nagging, he's going to eat with his father. Should we wait and then go down when it's quiet? ”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

The Kunt family welcomed us. Father accepted Jis in Wounded's arms and smiled.

“You're my first grandson. I think I'll become a blacksmith after looking at my big body. Are you sure you don't want to send him as my apprentice? ”

“At the age of eight, I intend to teach you the basics of swordsmanship. But if the child enjoys swordsmanship and says he wants to be unmanned, he can send it to his father. ”

“That was thoughtful. Come on, you can't fight unless you want to. ”

“Wait! If you want to be unmanned, of course you have to send me as your disciple. You don't think I'm less of a teacher than you, do you? ”

Rick takes another shot. I reacted with a shivering expression.

“I thought Duke Meutt was the best choice, but I considered your doctor and your passion. But a hundred concessions won't go to Rick. Your bad luck is getting to him. ”

“Tsk!”

Rick grumbles.

But my father suddenly asked me.

“By the way, haven't you bought me a gift since I retired? ”

“Of course I have. ”

I took out a small box from my arms. Opening the lid of the chest reveals a beautiful necklace with blue jewels. Everyone recognized the necklace at a glance. Someone in the Kunt family wears the same necklace all the time.

“Isn't this... Energy booster necklace?" ”

A necklace possessed with Energy Boosting Magic. I bought it for my father in the Magic Guild. It used to be about 8,000 Redinas, but the market price went up to 10,000 Redinas the last time.

“I bought it specifically because you've been focusing on making my brother lately. It was expensive, but they couldn't get it because they didn't have it. ”

“You! You brought me such a precious item... ”

My father tried to give me the necklace. But I stopped that hand.

“Huh, what's wrong with you? ”

“Huh? Isn't that my gift? ”

“As a result, it's a gift for your father. ”

I ignored my father and approached Miranda, the stepmother who was standing behind me.

“Ma'am, this gentleman, Caroc, prepared it. You've been through a lot, haven't you? ”

The bracelet is attached to her neck. Miranda ducks her red bitten face.

“Th-thank you... ”

Everyone's like, "Oh, yeah! ’I nodded. Of course not. Would you be worried that my father, the master, would run? No wonder you have to worry about him.

Seeing my father's satisfaction, I was also right about my choice. I'm glad my brother hasn't been born yet.

The mansion was filled with guests. Arthur spent a busy time dealing with the guests who handed him the words of congratulations.

My father also dealt with the guest appropriately, hiding his annoying face.

Familiar with the quiet atmosphere of the old Kunt family, he wanted the ceremony to be simple, but how could he?

Of course he retired. It's nothing special.

But isn't it a monumental day for Arthur to officially go home? It was a big turning point in Arthur's life, and I couldn't let it go.

It was also an opportunity to firmly recognize Arthur's position to people.

What are you talking about?

After my father became a master, there were many views in noble society that Arthur had lost the position of heir to the family. A pessimistic view that the owner of the family is forever the father, and that Arthur will end his life as just a lieutenant.

That evening, the retirement ceremony and housekeeping ceremony were held in a large gathering.

While the musicians were playing the immense music, my father knew the seal of his household and handed it to his brother. That was Arthur's original possession, but his father must have returned it for a while because of the ceremony, hahaha.

Then my father took off his cloak and gave it to Arthur himself. It was a cloak with an embroidered golden family crest in red fabric, something I had never seen before.

“Hey, when did he hit that cloak again? ”

When I asked him, he smiled and whispered.

“Last week, they said the seal would make my consciousness too empty. ”

“It looks good on you. ”

“Right?"

“By the way, did I tell you? ”

“What?”

“Congratulations on your second pregnancy. You're my son this time.”

“Yes?”

With Leyra's eyes wide open, I laughed and looked at Arthur.

“This is how I declare that House Kunt has met its new master. ”

“Wow!"

Oh, my God!

In his declaration, everyone cheered with applause. Arthur was embarrassed, but then he waved his hand and responded.

Congratulations, sir.
