Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill
Episode 157: The Sheriff
The battle in Belzd ended with a victory.
There was less human damage in this battle, but the depletion of troops and magic water was enormous. The clan decided that Arcantes had not yet been able to drop it, but that it would be difficult to drop it off in its current state, and that it would have a long preparation period once. Looks like it'll take at least a year.
During the preparation period, you will decide what to do with the land you have dropped.
Counties that had surrendered beforehand would not be replaced by county chiefs, but Belzd and Samuk counties, which had resisted, were to have new county chiefs.
First, the Samuk County Governor was to be served by Lupa, who surrendered by means of an adjustment.
Many were after the county governor's status, and quite a few ministers seemed unconvinced. This was aimed at the effect that it would be easier for people to surrender by listening to the Clan and showing them that those who surrender will be treated favourably, and for that reason they thought it was okay to have some distrust from the ministers. No, I don't think I thought it was a good idea, I think I'm going to do a cover in addition.
And the Beltzd County Chief, but this was to be left to Le Mail.
There appeared to be no objection to this decision. Le Mail was up quite a bit in this battle. It was only a measure put in place by my minister, but it was Le Maire who was in command, so it was regarded as the most successful in this battle.
Le Mail was originally the canale county mayor, and canale and belzdo are at a distance. It's hard to rule at the same time. Canale talked about what he would do, and the clan proclaimed in such high spirits.
"The Governor of Canale County shall leave it to Ars Rovent"
When the battle with Basamark was over, it was a promise to be canale county governor, but when we exchanged that promise, we didn't have a strategy to drop Belzd first. Things have changed, so it must have been a decision like this one.
I thought I would be totally against it, but contrary to expectations it was both positive and negative. It did not appear in the wind that all the handles mentioned by my minister, thanks to Le Maire, were properly appreciated. Perhaps thanks also to the clan for lifting me from day to day.
Still, there was also opposition that he was still too young, but Klan said he would make the Canale County Chief without changing his decision.
However, still, it wasn't decided that I would be the canale county chief.
I told him not to shake his head vertically about Le Mail becoming Belzd County Mayor and let him think a little.
To the meritorious alone, the clan could not be forced either, which meant waiting for a decision.
And at night, I was called to Le Maire.
He wanted to talk to me alone.
I trusted Le Mail, so I went on my own without an escort.
I walked into Le Mail's room. Le Maire sits with a serious look on her face.
"Well done, Ars."
"Yes, I came alone, as promised"
"Call me."
I was prompted to sit back on the chair. Fine, comfortable chair, but couldn't afford to taste that feeling on me when I was nervous.
Le Maire will be silent for a while. I wait for him to speak up.
"... the land of Canale County was inherited by our ancestors."
Le Mail began to speak with a troubled look.
"I've lived there since I was a kid too. It's also very thoughtful. The town of Canale is small but has worked hard to make sure that one or more of its inhabitants can live with laughter. Still not enough, so I was still going to keep trying."
……
"... Still, Canale is smaller than this Belzd. Much smaller. Less people, smaller towns. There is a difference in cloud mud to the number of useful resources. If it's true, I'd appreciate it, but I'm really not happy with it."
"... the more painful it is to know"
Le Maire again remained silent for a long time.
I keep staring at him nervously. I guess there's a strong grid.
After a few minutes, Le Maire finally opened her mouth.
"Ars."
"Yes."
"Can you primarily make Canale County a better land?
Le Mail looked at me with a serious look. I'm not ready to respond halfway. Make Canale a better land. It's not that easy. I thought I could still do it. With the wisdom of the ministers, and with my own discovery of the talent still asleep in that land, I was convinced that I could undoubtedly make a better territory now if I took up the competent one.
I stared and proclaimed Le Mail with serious eyes.
"I can."
Upon hearing my response, Le Maire gave an answer, staring me in the eye for a few seconds, with her mouth broken.
"I will be Beltzd County Mayor. I'll leave the canale to the Lord."
