The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

About a week after Elijah and his parents met with King Elias... a large evening party hosted by the King was about to take place in the royal palace's biggest hall.

The Great Hall is divided into six staircases, and the king and royal family are the organizers in the deepest part.The next stage is the Duke's House, followed by the Marquis's House.In addition, the count's house, the viscount's house, and the baron's house were set to standby.

It is customary for entrance to be in time for the official start of the evening party, but the earlier the person's status is lower, the later the person's superior will be.

Nowadays, most of the participants enter and are waiting before the evening party officially starts.However, in fact, the participants had already started to have a chat with each other, and the noble exchanges that seemed to plunge into the eyes of the living horses had already begun... but today's evening was not just that.

The main characters on this day are the "children" of the noble family who enrolled in school this year.

They are gathered here, with or without awareness, to be expected, blessed, and judged to be the people who will stand on the shoulders of the country in the future.

Also, parents are not the only ones around the children who are purely worried about their sons and daughters who are unfamiliar with the evening parties.There are parents who keep an eye on their children so that they are not rude, and parents who look for their children's future marriage partners, and there is a unique sense of tension.

If there is a rhododendron of Japanese origin from the earth here, it will be described as "an unbelievably cramped class tour".

Another pair at such a venue.The admitted children and their parents visited this year.

A bell rings to announce the visit, attracting the attention of those in the venue.

A staff member stands at the entrance and raises his voice.

"Lord Reinhard Jamil, the Duke of Jamil!"And Your Ladyship, Elise Jamil! My Lady, Elia Jamil! Admission! "

Due to the structure of the Great Hall, the three of them will be exposed to the gaze of a large number of people who entered the hall earlier.

However, without interfering with such a gaze, he showed an elegant standing behavior.

In addition, each of their costumes on this day is accompanied by an accessory with a large grain of pearls.

They also attract attention along with their live-in behavior, and the noise spreads among the aristocrats and their children gathered at the venue.

"These are the Dukes of Jamil, not us."

"Miss Elialia should have just enrolled in school this year as well.No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Is that the Duke of Jamil?It's so cool... it's so different from your father. "

"Both Elise-sama's crimson dress and Miss Elijah's bright blue dress are wonderful. And that accessory."

"Reinhardt used a brooch on his chest, and the two women used a lot of such large-grained pearls for their earplugs... the Duke's house is the stone."

"The quality of the fabrics and yarns is natural, and the design is not too exposed or flashy.That's all the accessories stand out from the crowd and they look good all over.After all, it's not like a gold junior aristocrat who just competes for flashiness. "

"Father, I want that accessory, too."

"Oh, you want that?" even one pearl is worth a fortune..... "

"If it's such a beautiful pearl, any woman would be interested." Hey, is that you? "

"When you get home, call the man from the jewelry store."You can get as much money as you want. "

Well, don't you see the value of that pearl?

"That kind of thing is just a gem."If you order it from the store, you can get it. "

Behind the parents and children who gracefully follow the path created by breaking the human wave, a large number of voices are born and disappear.

The evening meal on this day is a stand-up meal.They are also free to move, but there is no one here to call out to the three of them.

There is an implicit understanding of the manners of the evening party, and it is basically rude to speak to someone above you.If you want to make a call, ask someone who is connected to the other person to mediate or wait for the other person to make a call.It is obvious that it will be called off.

Reinhardt and the others, who arrived at the prepared position without hindrance, used the time until the evening party began to greet the people in the house with whom they were dating.From the Duke's house, the Marquis's house.And then to the count's house.....

"Excuse me during the conversation, is it Count Barnardo who is there?"

"This is the Duke." It's a pleasure to hear from someone like me. ”

"Well, don't be so hard."I just thought I'd have to thank you once. "

Thank you, right?

I was suddenly called out, and I tried to retrace my memories of the word "thank you", but I had no idea.Reinhardt goes even further against such a count.

"Oh, I wanted to thank your friend too... isn't Count Sandrick here today?"

"I haven't seen Uncle Sandrick yet."I've been busy lately. "

"Oh, surely he's busy by now.So what about Viscount Ferguson, Viscount Danieltan and Viscount Anatoma?Isn't he down there? "

Well, I don't know.

"I see... no, there are many people I have to thank for a few minutes."By the way, do you really (...) have any idea? "

As a matter of course, the Count realizes that Reinhardt's purpose is not “thanks” in the true sense of the word.However, Reinhardt smiled and put more pressure on the Count, who was still trying to cut the leaves.

"Funny? Many people have been sent from your territory to my territory, where plans are underway to build a new city, and I'm very helpful, but you don't know?"They sent hundreds of people, but they didn't realize there was a mass exodus. ”

The conversation is never loud.But Reinhardt is the Duke. A man, who is supposed to be far above, comes down to the count's queue and speaks.

There were a lot of people around who were secretly paying attention to the content of the conversation and the other person, such as those who were simply concerned, and those who planned to have a relationship with them.

As a result,

“What the hell are you talking about?Hundreds of people? "

"With that many people, it's like one village has disappeared."Isn't there a little bit of rural income? "

"If you sent me out to help the Duke yourself, it's not strange to move, but... I don't know who you are, so what do you mean?"Did the Reigners escape? "

“Rather than the reason for the movement of the territory, the problem is that the Count says he doesn't know that fact.Why didn't you notice the outflow of that much territory?What territory does he control? "

"If it's an escape, why... I didn't hear you had a special problem with the management and management of your territory... but is it actually not a very good situation?"

Around Reinhardt and Count Barnard, people listening continued to whisper their conjectures.It is also inconvenient for Count Balnardo due to the lesser amount of information, which is a fragment of the conversation.

In addition, some of the earliest aristocrats combined information they had previously obtained.

“He knows everything and pretends he doesn't.”

"Why? It wouldn't make sense to do that."

“No, he thought it would be more inconvenient to say he knew.”

Oh, you know something?

"Yes, I heard about it the other day... there was a rumor that the Duke's realm was not very good, right?"

"Ahh... I thought there was something I couldn't help because Master Reinhardt was still young."

"The rumor is that it was framed by someone else."There were stories of people from several houses conspiring to gather the city's troublemakers and dump them in the Duke's realm, or using the Dark Guild. ”

Well! But when I said it, the rumors seemed like someone was deliberately spreading them.

"It's horrible to use a Dark Guild."But that's why the Count.... "

Thus, a new speculation spreads like a ripple among the nobles.

Then, subtly, people leave Count Barnardo, who is the subject of the conversation.

No one wants to be on the side of a human being who's got eyes on the Duke's house.

I'm mistaken for an enemy ally and don't want to buy the Duke's house.

In any case, I don't want to be close to Count Barnardo and get caught up in the duke's anger and revenge.

Gradually abandoned and aware of the signs of isolation, Count Barnardo was anxious to find a way out, while maintaining a margin on the surface.

In such a situation,

"Well, it's a night party today. Let's talk about this one more time."

Reinhardt put an end to this conversation.

In this fact, the count's brain is instantly surrounded by surprises, joy, and mockery of Reinhardt.

Well, if you'll excuse me.

Thank you for speaking with me.

The count, who had room not only on the surface but also on the inside, bowed his head deeply and saw Reinhardt off.The figure was so serene and elegant that it seemed unlikely that he had finished a conversation that covered up his disturbing intentions.

After that, Reinhardt takes his wife and daughter with him and continues to say hello.

Count Fatma, it's been a long time.

"Oh! Thank you for your voice, Duke Jamil."

"I was taken care of during my school years.I'd like to introduce my wife and daughter, but can I? "

Of course!

“Great, Elia. He was my senior student, Count Fatma.”

“My name is Porco Fatma." Lady, let's see what you know. "

“My name is Elia Jamil. Thank you very much.My father told me about it. "

Rendezvous with Reinhardt's predecessor, Porco Fatma.

"Mother, over there."

"Oh? Well, let's go."

"With all due respect, Count Wildan and Baron Clifford, and your family."

Meet up with Michelle and Riera's parents, friends of Elijah.

"My lord! Thank you for speaking to someone like me."

"Baron, without question." I hear you two ladies are taking care of my daughter. ”

My lordess, it seems that my daughter, Riera, is taking care of you at school.

"My daughter, Michelle, too.I was worried because I was an eccentric's daughter, but thanks to my daughter, I felt comfortable being used to school. ”

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. ThisI have heard that they are excellent children, and I hope that they will continue to have a good relationship with their daughter.Of course, we are also parents. "

"It's an honor."

When the conversation between the parents is over, they formally introduce each family member and often laugh.

While doing so, the official (...) starting time of the evening party came.

The attendant rang the bell in the corner of the Great Hall several times to announce the start of the evening party.

At the same time, the aristocrats, including the Duke's house, greeted each other and returned to their queues.

The attendant who confirmed by the bell that the participant's movement was over kneels and faces down.

As a signal, the visitor also sat down with the royal family and took the same action.

The Great Hall, the top end.

From the door hidden by the thick curtains, the king and queen put their arms together and entered solemnly.

When the two of them sit in the seats provided for each of them,

Raise your face.

In accordance with the king's orders, the visitors only raised their faces while kneeling.

"Everyone, I am heartfeltly glad to see that we have successfully celebrated this day this year, and that it is not an exaggeration to say the future of this country.

Well, the long greeting will be boring for the young people, and I don't like it either.Enjoy cooking, drinking and interacting with others tonight.... each of you, hold the cup! "

Here, visitors began to be served a glass of beverage.

The king tells us that he often waits for drinks to spread throughout the venue.

"Cheers to the future of the country and the young people!"

With the cup to the kings, the visitors hold the glass and drink up its contents.

This is how tonight's evening party officially begins.

... yes, this is where (...) begins.

Let's go, neighborhood.

Yes, Father.

The three dukes returned the glasses to the waiter who was passing through the great hall.His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen were greeted by his feet.Naturally, each pair of hands also attracts the attention of visitors... even those who are not smart enough to notice.A pearl necklace on the queen's neck.It is no longer a well-known fact that all three dukes wear pearl accessories.

The women who were interested in the pearls at the venue, and the men who were begged by the women, thought that maybe (...).The answer was affirmed by the fact that it was a "courtesy from the Queen".The Duke of Jamil will have nobles who want pearls to rub against him in the future.And even the big influence expands even further.

Some aristocrats didn't want it and were uncomfortable with it.Count Balnardo, for example, who spoke to Reinhardt earlier.The moment he turned a blind eye to the interactions between the Duke's house and the royal family, he accidentally captured the appearance of two people he knew.

It was named after Viscount Ferguson and Viscount Danieltan in a conversation with Reinhardt.Like myself, two people who were supposed to send people from their own territory are talking about something with their faces blue.Perhaps you're thinking the same thing.

The count thought so and called out to the two of them.

"Viscount Ferguson, Viscount Danieltan."

“By the way, Count Balnardo!”

"Thank you for your voice..."

"I don't want to say hello now."More than that, you're thinking about the example, aren't you? "

Huh? No, it's not irrelevant.

Irritated by Viscount Danieltan, who has bad teeth, but I can't make a scene at a nightclub.

When asked in a low voice, Viscount Ferguson replied instead.

“That's why everyone's been talking about our bad reputation since we got here.”

"What? What are we?"

"It's us related to the" "example" "the Count said..."

The count who heard this story listens to the conversation around him.

"Hey, do you know? The story of Viscount Ferguson's affair»

Yeah, when it comes to debt, Viscount Danieltan seems to be in a lot of trouble.

“My son is a tax collector, but Baron Lefred seems to be evading taxes.”

"Oh, I heard about that. Viscount Sergier, I think you can leave money and power to the local people."

It seems that Count Sandrick has a very friendly Chamber of Commerce in your territory.

"Baron Jaerock is hanging out every night in a shop with women."

From one plan to the next, the notoriety of those who participated in the same plan is heard.Of course, it also includes my bad reputation.In addition, I think we are discussing in detail everything from the trivial secrets we were hiding from embarrassment to the evil things we were doing behind the scenes.

"What do you mean, you didn't hear anything from that guy?"

“We're not doing anything, but it seems like someone's listening.”

"But even so, there are many sources of conversation... it's as if everyone is competing."

Having heard the murmur of Viscount Ferguson, the Count was stunned to discover the true nature of the discomfort.

Certainly, it is strange that the aristocrats around them are spreading their bad reputation as they compete.

But more than that (...), it was abnormal that the nobles were talking to each other.

The conversation between aristocrats is often read behind the scenes.Use vague phrases to avoid taking poor quality.

Of course, the key changes depending on the time and the relationship with the opponent.

However, if you inadvertently speak out in a public place like this to discredit the reputation of another home, you may be seen as insulting by the people in that house.Even if it was not an insult, but a fact, it is likely to leave the root cause behind.

It is "rare" in conversations between nobles to say such a thing so clearly in such a place.

... but there are exceptions.

And the atmosphere here is close to what would have been the case if the exception had occurred.

The count's face suddenly caught his breath.

Because when it is an exception, it is synonymous with the end as an aristocrat.

It was when the scandal in some house was discovered and disciplined became a topic of discussion.

There, notoriety and insults are silenced.

Even if it was over 60 degrees, if it was not too much, it should be lightly cautioned.

Because it is a fact that a scandal has been committed, and it is a bad thing that those who are punished are punished.

And above all, no one who has defiled himself as an aristocrat can do anything anymore.

Even if there is a life, in an aristocratic society that respects honor, it will no longer be dealt with.

At that point, as an aristocrat, "it's over."

"Ahh!!!"

They are treated as such finished (...) human beings.

The gaze you feel from around you is different from the gaze you always collect.

No, that's how the Duke of Jamil made it happen.

Before we knew it, we had somehow filled the outer moat.

That was when the count's limbs trembled.

The words spoken by the king boiled down to the great hall.

The king's words did not reach the ears of the count.

However, the aristocrats around me immediately became the subject of discussion, so even if you refuse, you will hear it.

"His Majesty the King has given the pearl of the Duke of Jamil a certification."

In other words, the value of the duke's pearls was further increased.

The aristocrats who want pearls that have been certified rubbed against each other.

The Duke's influence will grow even stronger.

It was nothing but despair for the Count now.

Think about how to get through this situation and run to protect yourself.

But I can't find a way to help.

For there is no shame, and no appearance, that he may rub his head against the earth, and ask forgiveness.

No such measures come to mind, and all the excuses that don't make sense are running around the brain.

The count no longer stood dumbfounded and raised his face facing down.

At this time, Reinhardt, who had just happened to finish greeting, and the count's eyes met.

"Ah, ahhh..."

In the count's eyes was Reinhard, smiling.

There was no conversation between the two.But the count understood.

I didn't pursue myself earlier because the stuffing wasn't sweet.

There is no longer any point in pursuing them.So much so, that I'm already packed.

Then, during the evening party, the count was like a corpse.

I didn't talk to anyone, and I didn't get a voice from anyone.

At a later date, the scandal of the Count and other nobles officially (...), one after the other, the topic of being crushed and disposed of by the nobles became a whisper among the nobles, but... the nobles were not particularly surprised, and they didn't take much time to talk about it...
