Sevens

The Principality of Galleria.

I was making a laugh in front of Gracia, the king's deputy.

Inside, I'm hissing, but I can't negotiate if I know such insight.

The duke's mansion.

In that office, I was facing Mr. Gracia and myself. He's two years older than me, but the atmosphere and piercing look different, I guess, because he carries the country.

(Unlike Her Royal Highness the Princess of Rolphis and Aura, the Virgin)

He sat in a lavish chair, looking at the writings lined up on his desk and wrinkling between his brows. Lined up there were references from Zayn, Rolphis, and Baim.

Zayn and Rolphis wrote me briefly. Mr. Fidel was happy to write me a letter of introduction, thinking I was going to serve Galleria. Around saying, "I think I'll be able to sleep well if I don't have to look at your face now," and so on, I got worried that I might have stirred up too much.

It's nothing. I didn't say I was going to be the commissioner, but Mr. Fidel seemed to be making a mistake. If that's funny, this one is also of poor quality because the historical principals deliberately tell us to keep quiet.

Gracia put her silver hair together behind her and sighed, staring at me and keeping her back on her back.

"What do you want? Money or a woman? If you're an adventurer, you don't have to be Galleria to get a place?

The last letter on the desk was from Elsa, Queen of Lusoworth. You take it from the Adventurer of the Herald, and you and I are negotiating it into a story.

Indeed, Galleria is a gathering of the Lords.

If you're a clerk, Russowerth will be treated better. But then it's going to take me a while to get it together. As yet, unless we're accommodating Galleria, our plan won't go smoothly.

"I would like an officer. And I'll take over the paperwork. That adventurer, he was formerly a royal minister of Lord Galleria... because he was chased around in the city and the arrangements came out. You can't work around here."

He looks abominably at me, Mr. Gracia, but he's not thinking about killing me. Anyway, I have company. Killing one of me would have determined it was dangerous if my people moved.

"... that's an enemy ploy. Damn, Russowerth witches use dirty hands too"

I said it was their ruse, but I was laughing.

"Really? So in the future, we're at war without handing over letters? You have to look at both worn out countries and think about beating Zain and Rolphis."

Mr. Gracia's eyes narrowed and the room filled with killing at once. I can't breathe. It was like the temperature in the room had risen several times at once.

Mr. Gracia, regret it.

"Sacred Knight of Zain, you're so dirty for your name.... what do you want"

I don't want to break my grin.

"Give me everything about Galleria. But I don't want Galleria for everything. Just like Zayn and Rolphis, we need alliances and coalitions."

When I heard that story, Mr. Gracia seemed convinced to look at me.

"Is it because of you that both countries suddenly approached? Extra things... this one says if you don't do extra things, all you have to do is fight Luthorworth."

"You're not thinking of absorbing Luthorworth, are you?"

Mr. Gracia laughs at me with her nose.

"Formerly a lord nobleman. Besides, I heard it was the prestigious Walt family, but did you buy it too much?... It's important to expand our territory, but we'll have trouble with everything. Distribution of territory. Change of territory, various other jobs... If you do poorly, there can be civil unrest. Isn't it easier to maintain the status quo than that kind of hassle?

Here lately. We were in the process of gathering information, especially around Galleria. And we were aware of Galleria's problems.

That's because the system that governs is not in line with the current situation.

Decades. Or a hundred years ago, then that's good.

Because the Royal Family of Lord Galleria was strong around and extremely weak around. For this reason, instead of cooperating with the Crown, the Crown has provided support to its surroundings.

It is also customary for the public royal family to lend gold to the lords of the territories that have become battlefields without interest and without collateral.

But in the last few decades the peripheral lords have had power. Instead, the royal family lost much of its power. Naturally, the leeway to turn to internal affairs is being taken away by the surrounding lords and wars.

"It's not hard, either. If you try it on me, you'll just look exhausted as it is. You put too much emphasis on war."

"... I know you won't even tell me. But even if it looks that way from the outside, there are some things that look different from the inside. If you know what's going on here, you talk fast. Stop pulling Galleria into your side. What do I, acting king, say, Galleria is a country with enemies and cohesion. Without enemies, I'll bite you for sure."

To keep us from doing that, we're going to have a rough time.

If we absorb both countries, it will take us another while to govern. If you're bad, you could have enemies inside. It is a nightmare that the knights of the destroyed country will break out in the territory they have acquired.

At any rate, the enemy is more familiar with geography, and the locals become allies when they do poorly.

"I've been thinking about a lot of measures around here. Besides, I'm not trying to win a war."

"What do you mean?

"There are four [Miranda Sarkrai] and [Shannon Sarkrai] who are going to be serving [Clara Bloomer] and [Monica]."

"... you don't work for me?

"I won't. 'Cause I also have the job of delivering letters. Oh, I'll help you. I'm in Rolphis territory, so if you need anything, you can call me. Tell Monica I'll be in touch soon."

"You, what do you want?

I smile.

"The Royal Family of Lord Galleria will have the same powers as before. And if all goes well, could you make a harbor? You won't be able to use the ocean without it."

Mr. Gracia was about to hold his head.

"The sea is also complicated by the rights of its lords. Some lords themselves are pirates."

"Let's persuade you. Well, you don't have to do it right away, so you can do that later."

Mr. Gracia looked at me, with a disgusting look.

"Didn't I tell you I'd hire you yet?

"If you don't hire me, it's a lot of trouble, isn't it? Besides, I'm not asking for my own benefit. If you do well, you may be able to reconcile with Luthorworth without a war."

Hearing that, Mr. Gracia leaned down with a difficult look on her face. After a while, I looked up with the look I gave up.

"... Elsa and I don't hate each other. We're in a good position to be killed without each other. I liked what you didn't say about unilaterally crushing it. Let's admit the clerk. However, if you behave like a betrayer, your people will die."

I'm gonna do that, too. My people, who serve Mr. Gracia, are hostages to me at the same time as they are ministers to Mr. Gracia.

Now, even if Mr. Gracia doesn't trust me, he'll be somewhat relieved if there's a hostage in his hand.

Well, I have nothing to betray.

"I'll bring the four of you in a minute. Miranda does everything. Monica, too, but treat him as a maid of honor because he's chore versatile. Clara has a great amount of knowledge. Shannon... with Miranda's help"

Mr. Gracia seems anxious to hear me explain that.

"Hey, I guess it helps right?

"Competent is guaranteed"

Yes, they are competent. Whether it's a woman like a spider, and a pompous except for the devil's eye, as a maid or in the wrong presence, whether she likes books and has some other issues... they're excellent.

"... excellent. They're excellent."

"Why did you say that twice?

Mr. Gracia seemed a little nervous.

Leaving the Mirandas in Galleria, I returned to the village where I would stay.

Seeing Nowem doing chores for the first time in a long time, a little better! Don't tell me what I thought.

In a rebuilt house, I see the Valkyrie I, II and III in made-up clothes.

"These guys, why are you putting water in a bucket and holding that?

In the room, No. 1 explained to me with no expression, holding a bucket of water.

"I did my chores to get beyond that monica,"

Then number two.

"I broke the plate I bought"

And finally, number three.

"This is how we are punished."

Hearing that, I thought it was too much for boulders, against Nowem.

"Isn't that a little harsh?

However, Nowem was smiling but felt willing never to give in. They won't allow three bodies.

"No. No problem if you destroyed all the plates, because you were eventually throwing dishes at each other with three bodies. We had a fight over who would do the job. Thanks to this I even got more extra cleaning"

When I saw the three of them, they all lost sight.

(... Monica's sisters are a jerk, too)

Nowem asked me about Galleria because I was back.

"How was Master Lyell?

I snorted.

"As planned, I guess. You don't see the situation when you're inside more than you really thought... No, I'm sure it's serious from inside Galleria."

From the outside, I'd say do better. But from the inside, you might be able to see it differently. I decided to leave the decision around here to Miranda.

"Are you first approaching Galleria and then Russowerth? I hope it works out."

I dropped my shoulder on Nowem's words.

"If it doesn't work, Russowerth will have no other way but to destroy it. I would definitely avoid that."

It is very troublesome to destroy the country.

Avoid it as much as you can, while keeping your power warm and pulling it in here. It's too difficult and tough, but there's nothing I can do about it.

I'm looking at Nowem.

"When entering Russowerth, ask Nowem and the others to do their best. I just want to do something about the Prime Minister."

Russowerth's inner feelings were also gradually beginning to gather. But the more I hear, the more I know that the Chancellor is only respected in and around the center. That's why it's troublesome. It is very popular in the center. Even if you drag it down, its popularity is troublesome.

Nowem, are you happy to count on me, smile?

"I'll take care of it, Master Lyell"

That's what I said.

- Three bodies of the Valkyries, which are mass-produced, were conducting an investigation in the royal territory of Lord Galleria.

Nobody wants to blame the three men who wrap their robes around them and bear the royal seal of Lord Galleria.

Such triplets were visiting rivers that were likely to flood as soon as it rained.

"As soon as we improve this place, but won't the nation recover?

When the hell said that, the hell pointed to my finger already. I don't see the look on my face because I'm a visor, but it doesn't seem very interesting.

"It is the border between the territory of the Duke and the territory of other houses. It will be difficult to deal with this situation alone."

The rest of us, looking around.

"If there is a water field, people will gather... then are there many Lords?"

At least, on the spot alone, the Royal Family of Lord Galleria and the other houses are both adjacent to each other by the river. It was also a place where river rights were left out for decades that it was difficult to take measures.

"... I will send the information to your husband. I don't like that abominable Monica putting together information, but given your husband's burden, there's no choice."

Regrettably, a mass-produced unit sent information using a line with Lyell...

- The Royal Mansion of Lord Galleria.

Monica, who hates cleaning the room, exhales.

"Those degraded products... my chicken bastard said he had a color eye. I've explained many times not to send the image data because it's heavy."

Complaining about the bumps, he was cleaning the room rocking a blonde twin tail. Monica is more cluttered than usual, but her surroundings seem satisfied for the first time in the job.

He also had a good reputation for being polite in his work from around him.

However, from the Mirandas who knew the circumstances, it was obvious that they were not motivated in person.

Miranda tells Monica to reassemble her legs as she sits on the couch.

"Monica, you asked Lyell for an important job, so do your job properly. In other words, even if it's the Duke's royal family, it's just the biggest in the territory."

Miranda, who organizes the paperwork and the like, will compile future policies while checking the contents of the territory Monica will be looking into.

"... if you cure the water, you're going to recover your national power pretty soon."

Clara, who was peeking at the paperwork from the side, mouths those opinions. But if I could, Gracia would be doing it from the beginning, too.

Miranda held her forehead by her hand.

"Territorial subtlety. Plus, he seems to be rubbing it with rights and stuff. This is what makes me want to leave it. Even if you cure water, you can rub it for decades just because who gives you how much money and what happens to your rights... aren't you stupid?

Clara looks at Miranda.

"Can't you? I know this terrain because I've also read a few ways to cure water in a book."

Miranda glanced at the material.

"I follow the Duke's royal family, but if it's in my interest, you'll fight with weapons. Looks like we're kicking the story about taking on all the water cures and maintaining the rights we've always had. Coverage in case of failure, arrangements around it... Wow, this is unmotivating."

Clara also seemed to experience cruelty when she heard about Miranda.

Lyell chose the Mirandas to send them in, but I didn't even think Miranda could do anything about this situation.

Miranda told Monica.

"So, have you heard anything from Lyell?

Then Monica looked back reluctantly.

"... they just need to do what they can. In the meantime, I was wondering if I could get you a track record in home affairs. I've been instructed to prepare two or three pioneering villages."

That's all Monica said, she sighed and went back to work.

"... I think the chicken bastard is crying because he misses my cooking"

and so on, but Miranda ignores it.

"Ma, I know we have to do what we can, but could a small village of two to three just change the status quo?

Miranda thought of a plan to tackle the pioneering village with Leold subjects, as Lyell instructed...

"The world is cold. Especially very cold for young people who don't know the world. But it is also true that the words of young people who do not know the world are not convincing!

In the treasure ball.

Listening to the protests of the fourth generation, he had been taught how to unlock the current situation in Galleria.

I'll put my hands up.

"Um, so how do you connect with Pioneering Village?

Between round tables.

On the round table was a 3D map of Galleria. Thin rod-shaped objects were used to indicate areas where there was a fourth generation.

'As things stand, we know that if we improve this place, our national power will be greatly restored. There are many other things that can be improved, but the best part is here.'

It was also a place where other houses and territories were intertwined and where water could not be cured.

"You don't seem to have made me cure the water for a variety of reasons. I'll get right to it."

With that said, the fourth generation slammed the stick to the round table with a piss.

'Sweet! It's too sweet, Lyell!

"Oh, really?

The fourth generation denied my sweet thoughts.

"How much time and money do you think it will take to cure the water? The same goes for manpower. I can't do that - I failed - and I'm sorry. Lords hope they don't get their hands on it if they fail and it's gonna be a terrible situation '

Honestly, I didn't understand the feeling. As far as the map is concerned, water cure was possible in several ways. If you can manage a flooded river with this, you should definitely do it.

'I mean... is there a specialist in Galleria right now regarding water cure? Home affairs is fine. Even if we can maintain the status quo, can we hope for any further development?

I'll think about it for a second.

"You're not there. I checked out some ministers, but most of them specialize in combat..."

'Yes! I applaud this rich land, and I suck at Galleria for nothing I've ever done! Something was so hard when I was there! There's a lot of wasteland on the land, and there's no industry, and there's no specialties. They suddenly give you nothing. You're the baron. Now that I think about it, I'm starting to think His Majesty doesn't like him'

While the third generation burst out laughing at the fourth generation saying that.

'It's late! It's too late to notice, Marks!

The fourth generation while correctly positioning the eyeglasses.

'That's how busy I was, too, and I didn't care about anything else. Okay, so that's the problem. I wonder if the Royal Family of Lord Galleria would trust Lyell by telling him to cooperate because he would cure the water?

"You won't."

Sure, I feel there are more anxiety elements. Or I could see how the Lords felt wanting me not to touch them the other way around.

"That's where the track record is made. There is just affordable land around here. We need to cure the water, but if we do that, we'll be able to do some of the villages. '

The indicated location was a place where a small river would soon flood. And there were a lot of demons out there, places that didn't have hands on how hard it was to pioneer.

"Are you pioneering this place?

'That's right. We need to cure the water, and that's a lot of difficulty... if this succeeds, it will be your track record, Leold. I need a few years to stabilize, but if I can shape it, it's fine'

I hear it's important to get you a track record.

By doing so, Leold will recognize you as a man of home affairs. [M] Lords who don't like war and want to focus on their internal affairs will come together or give instructions to you, Leold.

"Will you succeed?

'Let it be. Lyell, you... you can use magic, right? And there's the Valkyries. "

"Huh? But it's not really a good idea to use magic for these things," he said!

'If no one's watching, there's no problem! We'll do some basics, and we'll take care of the rest! Or because the wizard's lesson is, don't magically clean it all up! It's easy to build a foundation and get people to work in the village!... Well, the biggest problem is keeping it'

In the world, it seems quite difficult to maintain. There are changes in circumstances, but villages and other demons often appear and perish.

"You think if you make track record, you can take it to fate after that?

'That's more likely. The persuasion is different from not having a small track record. And would you like me to spread a song to the elves that worked in internal affairs? Eva, it's like you left me for that. "

When I snorted, I decided to follow the instructions of the fourth generation. And the fourth generation...

'Come on, it's been fun!

- I scream fine, but the reaction around me is subtle.

Fifth generation, etc.

"Ha, no... I want to set a trap at the point where Russowerth attacks to make it all over the place"

Mr. Mireia doesn't seem interesting.

"If Lyell pushes Gracia down, it'll be over soon. She's never met and she's struggling. '

Seventh generation, etc.

"... it would be easier if the Royal Family of Lord Galleria attacked and destroyed their surroundings as they were. I mean, the subtle realm is at this point, so shouldn't we just follow or fight? If you win by name for a reason, your surroundings are silent. '

When I learned about the troublesome Galleria's insides, I told him I should let him obey me already.

You guys, unite more.

That's what I thought, I don't think I was wrong.
