It took three days to relax and reach the city of Enia by the lake.
"This, again. Much......
As opposed to me for losing my word, Ethan's voice plays next door.
"This is the kingdom's power.
I can tell from a distance.
That's a big castle.
Exactly, not to mention the New Capital's government.
It's bigger than Takaoka Castle. Would it be equivalent to Lake Castle East?
Enia Castle went beyond saying it was just a defensive facility.
A stone formation around the outside, a building that can be found inside.
An authoritative, yet graceful figure.
Its visual effects are outstanding.
Plus.
"Hiro, as you know, here in Enia, is not the capital of Sashua.
The boy's voice adds strength.
Sashua is divided into six regions.
Bordered by the lake and counter-clockwise, Lake North, Lake West, Hunan, Central, Lake East.
And the southeast, a hilly and mountainous area.
Even though I say that the size of each region is no different, for example, around South Fanzo.
"Every central city in every region has this level of castle? You think that's all the economy you've got?
From Ethan, who nods back, turns his eyes to the castle again.
No, the more I look...
Without the horse I heard from behind, I look back in haste.
It wasn't a big deal.
That the carriage got up on a bump in the road and just stumbled upon it.
Not a big deal, though.
Compared to the size of the castle, the economic power behind it......
The road surface of the street, which I was looking down at with my neck bent, was too blurry.
"This is the problem with the kingdom.
Ethan's voice, which should have been spoken next door.
It was a little hard to hear.
Blocked by the hustle and bustle.
Walk behind, traveler... No, the number of "locals who have quite a few errands in the city" is increasing.
Although that's definitely the fact that it's so populous.
Their clothes are tedious.
Nor did he feel as rich as the people of the Far East in the meals he mouthed during his break.
More or less, "to go down the street, you have to take shelter from the Mel family," in itself, is strange.
The streets are Main Street, the aorta of the economy. Or "I'm keeping it from Your Majesty, a state-run facility".
Officials should have an obligation to ensure their safety.
From the relationship between the people and the master in the first place, the relationship between the Brotherhood and the master is not very different.
To say it's a kind of contractual relationship, "paying taxes - giving protection".
"What are you splitting the state into six parts for?
"'If you divide it into smaller pieces, you'll get a good eye,' eh? Serge, that's what you said.
Ethan's voice had turned into a rough one.
"What if I said, 'To make six good chairs for officials'?
No indignation.
As much as "there is such a place in the official world," I am beginning to see it.
Besides, just think about it calmly.
"The streets are safe" is a modern man's feeling.
Continent (Land) is a pre-modern society.
Rather, this is about normal, that the feudal monarchy's territorial state is just "too much".
The looseness returned to Ethan's voice when he saw my expression.
"I'm kidding. Sashua is a big state. Dividing itself into six makes sense. I still can't get my hands around it. Should I say 'cheap'?
"Say, what's a big reform, hey?
"Oh, you're right, Hiro. It's a dream story. To the best of my ability, I can move it a little bit.
Enia's castle nearby, too, after all.
Just a little bit, "You were coming".
Still, there are no gaps in the foundation of the stone assembly.
If you appreciate it, the word "rock" is the right word.
Yeah, I thought.
Although the mayor who welcomed us in that Enia castle, or "the head of the Lake East region".
This was unexpected.
I said it was over twenty, it was a young man.
Position level: Positive six.
On par with me, the public service before the debut, and Fritz, the descendant of the royal family.
But I'm debating bureaucracy. Note, sixth place.
This young man, "upstream aristocrat," does not hit.
Even though he is too young to be in charge of the region.
Although it was previously explained that "Fashir and Eshir's Zhizhou are the future of Aaron Smith, Ethan's samurai and secretary".
Apparently, these magistrates are the "near future" look of the Arons.
Experience as head of a small area.
While traveling and coming to and from the centre and the provinces, we are increasingly entrusted with a large task.
That's how it comes into being.
The Brotherhood of the Mel family, Eliza Becker and Li Chi, are no different in that respect.
During this trip, Ethan has been delegated by his grandfather, the Duke of Dexter (Minister for Finance), to inspect the books.
Even here in Enia, we were conducting an audit.
Though I refrained from "inventorying" in front of us.
Since the mayor is not a "Dexter Itchy," he considered his face.
Still, one word, he told me.
Be happy.
"I had no problem at all. Even though I'm new here, it's brilliant.
Four or five younger, that's a 16-year-old line, too, I guess.
No, I know that's the kind of society that a kingdom is, but come on.
In that regard, if I say what I can say...
"The mayor's working hard, too.
Even if you can't get around the street, you can't help it.
It's my first job.
The first thing we should exchange is to take over the work of our predecessors and maintain the status quo.
Thanks to a little lighter feelings, or to being freed from the fatigue of escorting the people.
The invited dinner was pleasant.
"Well. Tomorrow, what do we do? Do you want to go south by road or take a boat and head south down the lake?
"In time, the ship is faster, isn't it?
"But Filia. What do travelers and local people expect?
"My Lord Tachibana. As for the Grim One Party, there are too many escort targets because of that.
"Sorry, Marco.... I know.
Along with the sound of prestige, there were those who stood up.
It's Mayor Enia.
Though I just saw him as a calm administrator.
All this time, he showed himself as a 20-year-old.
"Don't worry, everyone. For streets along the lake, safety is ensured. 'I can safely travel without having to follow the nobles,' he said, to the point of gaining a reputation. … There is no need to take into account the people.
Ethan and I looked at each other.
The mayor, who saw how we were, shows his face in a panic.
I thought I was to blame, or I added quickly.
"The streets to the east, the gates, are still unsafe…. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to you.
Still gained momentum, Ethan.
The side I showed the upstream aristocrats was proud.
"To the extent that I can't help it, please do it one by one. … please do not lose the safety you have secured.
"Accepted, My Lord Dexter." Impossible, little by little ". I'll take care of it.
The next morning, under a teasing clear sky.
Enia's castle from the lake is still elegant.
Moreover, he was giving the beholder a sense of comfort.
