The Abandoned Baroness is one of the Black Knight’s favorites

◇ ◇ ◇

"Isn't it necessary to maintain the former Lannish territory?"

In one word, the meeting was confusing.

Those who say that it is better to own the land in the Marquis considering Sofia's feelings, and those who say that maintaining the land exploited by the previous baron is only a debt.Both were right.Even though Elvin is at the meeting, he keeps an eye on things without saying anything.

Gilbert sighed small enough not to be noticed by anyone.

After checking the accounting reports of each territory and the upcoming reception, it is time to plan measures for individual territories.Gilbert was also able to respond calmly to other territories, but not only to the former Baron Lannish.Sofia's crying face flickers.

"I know that your wife took over the throne and married us.However, you are allowed to return the territory. "

Here's what they say.Maintaining Baron Lannish territory undermines the gains made in other territories.In that case, we should return it to the state as Sofia inherited it but could not control it.In fact, there are precedents in which nobles who have lost their heads due to debt sell their territories, or nobles in territories that have suffered major disasters let go with the support of the state.

However, we do not know the main participants in the meeting, but Sofia declares that it will succeed the territory in front of the King.And Gilbert also tells us that he will manage it as one of the Marquises of Forster.

That's why Gilbert has to convince them here.You can push through without consent, but it's not a good idea.

"But this is the land on your wife's edge.I wonder if it's too frustrating to round off just the loss. "

"If you truncate it, it's definitely better to do it sooner."

Gilbert expected this.Good or bad, we are realistic.The loss of former Baron Lannish territory has no direct impact on them.It's only natural that the fortune of the Marquis Forster compensates for it.Yet they do so because of their pride in ruling the land correctly.Because it's tough on me, it's tough on others.

Gilbert closed his eyes.You can't touch someone's mind during a meeting.Naturally, neither the strength of magic nor the arm of the sword will be required as the master of the main house.In that sense, Gilbert is only an immature young man.

Relax and open your eyes.If you look slowly, you'll see everyone's expression.It seemed that the expression was as spoken as the one who did not speak.

"─ ─ five years"

Gilbert's voice gathered his gaze.I continued to speak with the feeling that my spine was stretching.

"Please wait five years. … settle the liabilities of the former Baron Lannish and make the accounting a deficit."

It was also an expression of resolve for Gilbert.We are working with Sofia, but we have not been able to put in place a policy that wipes out the mistrust and despair that has sprung up among our people.Carna beans, which are being cultivated as specialties, are also being studied.There was nothing to be clear about.But if you don't say anything, you'll think that you're just passionate.

Then it's no good. To protect Sofia, my wife, as the lord of the Marquis of Forster.Gilbert has something he can't spill.We have to pick it up one by one and carry it.

"I can't tell you that I didn't take any account of being on my wife's edge.However, some of the land will be a specialty in the future.There is a distance to King's Landing, but it is not too hot in summer, so we may be able to sell it as a summer escape. "

That's ─ ─

"... just because things aren't going well right now doesn't mean we're going to let go of the land that might benefit us in the future."

The objection was twisted down.Gilbert doesn't want to throw away what's important to Sofia.Hold a fist under the table in a place that no one can see.I swore to protect everything that day.

"Is it a hopeful observation?Territorial management isn't that sweet.─ ─ Is that so important? "

It was Gilbert's uncle who said that.Contrary to the words, the eyes are colored to see something pleasant.This man has loved Gilbert for his late grandfather for a long time.I'm sure he bought Gilbert much more than anyone else here, perhaps even Elvin.Then this word does not blame Gilbert.

"Don't be shy in such a place, uncle."

Gilbert said he was in trouble, and his uncle laughed with joy.

"Hahaha, he's boring.... congratulations on your marriage, Gilbert. For your wife, the former Baron Lannish will develop. "

That's what my uncle said, and no one can say anything more against it.This must have helped Gilbert.

"Yes, thank you. ─ ─ Next"

Gilbert tightened his mind and changed his agenda.
