The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

November 1st.

On this day nobility gathers throughout the Kingdom of Lead and the Arbitrage Award begins.

They should be gathered and aligned in the Great Hall by now.

"Should," because Isaac and the others are not aligned in the Great Hall.

Led by Isaac, Randolph and the Earl of Lancaster under the command of the army.

Those who took over enemy generals like Matt, Tommy and Kai.

Those with great skill were given special treatment.

He is scheduled to enter at the end and walk to the front of Elias as the nobles stand on the left and right.

This was Elias' thought production.

- As the heroes watch, they go to the front of the king and kneel.

Just for that matter, the six of them had been kept waiting in separate rooms.

Isaac wears red fabrics with gold embroidery and jeweled garments.

The golden innocent button had large gems embedded in the center.

When I checked the finished product, the sunlight was so brilliant that it reflected off my gaze and said, "Wow, dazzling".

By the way, Randolph was a piece of clothing with gold embroidery on the same red fabric, but the gems were kept to an accent or so.

Adults can dress in an atmosphere of calm for the year.

Matt and Tommy were also dressed as adults.

Kai, the child, is made to look flashy as far as he can do at the Viscount House.

Isaac thought, "Kids aren't a tool to keep parents looking good."

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?

A civilian who comes into the room asks everyone.

I guess it's time to go.

Isaac gets nervous too, but he goes before everyone to be praised, so it was easy.

Unlike being taken as a criminal before Elias, as in the case of the Earl of Bristol.

The certainty that "it won't be a bad thing" was relieving me of tension.

"I think it's okay..."

A glance at Tommy and Ky as Randolph answers.

They had gone to the bathroom many times, either from the tension of getting out in front of the king or while waiting.

"It's all right now"

"You can go anytime"

They replied with a trembling voice from the tension.

It doesn't seem okay, but I just have to believe more than just say that the person is okay.

"Well, we can't keep His Majesty waiting, shall we?"

When Count Lancaster said so, everyone stood up.

He's a little excited too.

After all, you're happy because you're being treated special.

Led by a civilian, we head to the front of the Great Hall door.

Isaac and Matt were the only ones who were calm enough to get here.

They were both calm on the grounds that they were not "punished or killed".

Never think before you are rewarded.

When the doors of the Great Hall are opened, they are greeted by a great applause.

Nobles all over the kingdom are celebrating.

Walk through it and into the rear to wait for Elias.

"If you look closely, Randolph is a man with a lot of heart."

"The Earl of Lancaster looks like he's got an unbeatable vibe."

"Let that calm down of the man who was said to be a madman. It's very different from the rumors."

"That young man over there looks pretty good with a grown-up face," he said.

"The young man who took the revenge of his predecessor, Lord Welrod, is not bad either"

"But the one who put them together like that is still different"

I hear whispers from around me.

Even in the applause, these stories are surprisingly deafening.

We get embarrassed together, but we keep walking at the same speed without speeding up or stopping our steps.

Because it's more embarrassing to panic.

When the Earl of Lancaster, who was walking in the lead, stops, he kneels on the spot.

Isaac and the others go with him, kneeling on the spot, drooling.

Randolph, too, had never been called before Elias.

In an official setting like this, the Earl of Lancaster is reliable, knowing where to stop and when to kneel.

Seeing Isaac and the others kneel, Elias, who was sitting on the throne, rises.

The expression was dark.

"Gentlemen, I would like to represent those who have achieved so much this time. But there's one big problem. Isaac Welrod."

"What..."

In unexpected words, Isaac looks up at Elias.

I soon realized it was a rude act and drowned again.

"I don't mind. All of you, raise your faces."

Elias, who notices the movement, tells him to raise his face.

Elias kept his gaze on Isaac and continued the conversation.

"That's unparalleled credit. Beginning with the resumption of interaction with the elves, the development of streets and rivers. He developed a new field of research called distillation and showed unparalleled work on the battlefield as well. There have been people who have been called heroes in the past, but they have not performed as well in so many different fields."

Elias looks around at the attendees.

No one seemed to disagree with his words.

"If that's all, I didn't have a problem. But there's something wrong with that."

(I don't know, I feel unfairly blamed lately...)

Isaac thought about it that way.

"I was going to give a new territory close to the Marquis of Wellrod territory...... What do you say?"

"I don't care what they ask... I will be a student starting next year. Even if you have a new territory, you cannot govern. Besides, I believe it is enough to inherit the Marquis of Wellrod in the future. If possible, I would like to decline."

I really want to get what I can get.

But I couldn't have gotten it here now.

"I was taken by the management of the territory and I wasn't ready," then I have no ex or child.

It feels better to get the whole kingdom a few years later than to jump to the current territory.

It's not too late to struggle with unfamiliar management.

Besides, thinking about "what if I give up?" I don't want territory.

The Marquis of Wellrod territory is large enough.

Might be fine during Elias' time.

However, there is a risk that Jason will risk "the Marquis Welrod family has gone too far" if we get further territory here.

If you give up on living as a nobleman, you may not be able to secure a safe life.

Isaac thought the new territory was more likely to pose a danger than profit.

But this response was not what Elias wanted.

"Again. I thought you'd answer that. So, how's the money?

"By doing business with Dwarves, we have enough money. This war, thanks to all of you who have come as reinforcements, has been able to crush the will of the Kingdom of Rockwell to succeed. If you can reward me, I'd be glad to distribute it to all those who mobilize the army."

Isaac also declined a reward by money.

This is because, as I had previously thought, I considered the case of the former Ko of the Shogun of Kamakura.

This is a defensive war, so there's not more national territory.

We have to reward the Reid kingdom from its national budget.

Naturally, you won't be able to give an amount commensurate with mobilizing the army.

So Isaac said, "Distribute to everyone the reward that will be for you".

By doing so, I can disappoint "Isaac is a good guy" and "Is this still the kind of bounty from the Reid kingdom?"

The idea was to cut my loyalty to the royal family while making a good impression on me.

I don't know Isaac would think of that. Elias exhales a great deal.

"Yes, that's it. That was too abnegation. There is no indication that the most active will not receive anything in this war. Is there anything you want? I'll make anything happen to you. Say it."

"Do you want…"

(You can't just tell me to give up my throne...)

Even if they say "any hope will come true," there are still limits to it.

I know the throne will be dismissed immediately, so it's useless to say.

(The thing about Pamela..., as far as Elias is concerned now. Yes, but I can't.)

Elias said, "Okay, fine," but I couldn't hope for Pamela.

Even if one day Jason is to be sentenced to death, there is something called order.

Let's just say Isaac takes Pamela now and Jason gets along with Nicole.

In that case, the thought of "I could have met Nicole, but Isaac took Pamela from me" lingers all the time.

When Jason became king, he threatened to be retaliated against in some way.

Not until "after Jason gets attacked by Nicole and loses interest in Pamela" to get Pamela safe.

Otherwise, I can't have a happy marriage or anything.

I couldn't have hoped for Elias about Pamela here.

"I'm sorry. I can't think of anything I want right now."

Isaac decided to put it on hold.

If you come up with a request, you might have trouble later.

The bad review that "the royal family can give nothing to those who merit it" also makes it in Isaac's favor.

Because then I thought it would be better not to demand anything.

"Damn, youngsters should be rattling more about 'I want that, I want this'"

Elias said with a bitter smile.

His thoughts are misguided, but it is only natural that Isaac should think so because he looks like an abnegate young man.

Here he decided to give him the reward he had in mind.

"Okay, Isaac. I'll give you the right to petition for whatever you want and the title at any time."

"Is it a title?

Isaac looks strange.

The title should have said no before.

Yet, because I didn't know what Elias thought of trying to give him the title.

Elias smiled mean this time.

"Yes, the title. You used to say," If you get a title, you won't be able to fulfill your noble duties among the students. "

"Yes."

In response to Isaac's reply, the nobles around him turned.

Isaac is the son of the Marquis of Wellrod, so even if he gets a Baron or Viscount, he just calls it "honor".

I am not required to work as the head of the Baron or Viscount family.

Nevertheless, Isaac surprised those around him with his willingness to work, saying, "If he had been given, he was going to do his duty as a nobleman".

It would give the impression that "the roots are serious boys" in this case.

At the same time, he said, "Speaking of which, Jude was not serious enough for work..." and even reminded me of something I didn't like.

"Well done on that. Let us not have to fulfill our duty as noblemen until we are twenty years old specifically. Then you'll get it, won't you?

"... it is only a disgrace to be your servant that afflicts His Majesty's heart. Thank you for your title."

Isaac's decision to receive the title was "You don't have to work for the title until you're twenty".

If you're twenty years old, it's about time you're choosing whether you're "king" or "living as a nobleman".

If you don't fulfill your obligations and just enjoy the benefits and rights, there is no reason to say no.

Besides, given this work, it shouldn't be enough to give it a title of Count or so.

"Can Isaac only do it to that extent," the nobles will think.

And I keep saying, "I don't want that one, I don't want this one," and it makes me uncomfortable.

I decided it was easy to accept it here.

- But Isaac will soon regret the decision.

"Right, will you take it? Everyone, the birth of the new Duke of Enfield. Have a drink!"

"Eh."

Isaac felt the world stopped for a moment.

Because the others have calmed down.

But that was really only a few moments ago.

It is pulled back into reality by a huge drink that just cracks.

"Oh, you know. Sire."

Isaac calls out, but it hasn't even reached Elias.

Looking around, Randolph and I met each other.

"What do you mean?

"I don't know either. I just think it's unusual..."

Isaac nods to Randolph's words.

Isaac knew very well that this was unusual.

Once there were two Dukes.

- House of the Duke of Enfield.

- The Duke of Vickers house.

But the two houses were torn apart, the phrase contending for the throne.

Since then, the Duke had become a one-generation title to give to those who had merit.

Unlike other titles, it is a special title that children cannot be allowed to inherit.

If he was the Lord now, he would be given enough after the Marquis of Windsor retired from the Chancellor.

A title that can only be given to those who leave active duty and are old and short.

Give one of them to Isaac, who is still young.

It would be more of a first instance than a rarity.

Elias gestures to quiet everyone down.

"I won't have to explain the Duke now, but I'll tell you for once. One billion leads a year in nobility pensions, with free access to the royal palace. Of course, when you want to see me, you can see me first. Others will no longer be tried by law except for their crimes against the Crown and the State"

(There! That's where it matters the most!

After all, the past case of assassinating the then king and taking him to the throne must be affecting him.

Even if the law no longer restricts action, it just doesn't seem acceptable to do harm to the royal family.

Isaac's most wanted part was crushed with pinpoints.

Elias doesn't know what's in Isaac's heart and laughs huffily.

"Well, if you did, you'd have to worry about it extra. It was brilliant to read about the movement of the Kingdom of Rockwell this time, saving the Kingdom of Fartil. And appreciate the work done so far and assign Isaac Welrod to the Duke of Enfield"

When Elias declared so, a civilian approached Isaac with a tray.

On the tray were bags that seemed to hold with one hand.

"This is the seal of the House of the Duke of Enfield,"

"Seal…"

A seal is like a seal.

Used to replace signatures or seal with wax when sending letters.

It is a proven product.

Isaac received it carefully with both hands.

(Am I the Duke... I don't think that's a good thing for this country.)

Given what the Dukes have done in the past, it is likely to be a repetition of history.

"It's also funny that I'm going to be a duke for the purpose of taking it," he thought.

But Isaac's hand, which received the seal, was shaking.

This is neither samurai trembling nor nervous about what will happen in the future.

- It was a tremor by joy.

I've never been so highly regarded by anyone, including in my previous life.

The seal itself weighs light, but when I feel the appreciation for myself contained therein, I feel so heavy that it's going to spill out of my hand that I'm going to follow it off.

But I'm not in a bad mood.

It was a comfortable weight that even seemed to "try harder".

Isaac also knows what he's trying to do.

But now, I wanted to be immersed in this comfortable mood.
