Then Timi and I returned to the Lords' Hall.

By the way, assistant deputy is stuck on the move.

The assistant deputy was crying, but it was the assistant deputy who cried the inhabitants first.

Cruz says to the deputy when he throws his assistant deputy into the barn.

"Gather all assistant deputies."

"I'll call it in right now."

"Tell him to bring the gazetteer, too."

"Yes."

It takes two to three hours for the assistant deputy to arrive.

In the meantime, Cruz began to look at documents such as the laws in the territory. It is a serious look.

Sigishoara, on the other hand, was hugging Timishoara. I'm nodding my face on my chest.

"Oh, my God."

"Oh, Sigishoara, what's wrong?

"Ria."

Sigi seems to have missed Timi a lot.

Sigi hugs me and Timi looks so happy.

"Maybe they respected you because you flew through the sky."

"Really? Sigishoara, I'll fly you anytime."

"Oh, my God."

Timi feeds Sigi the tea treats served.

It's unusual for Sigi to eat things from hands other than mine.

That's right, it's my aunt.

Three hours later, three assistant deputies arrived.

There were four assistant deputies in Cruz's territory, including the one who got stuck in the barn.

The assistant deputies who entered the reception room were nervous.

The deputy also stands with a serious face next to the deputy assistant.

"I got you all together today because..."

When I spoke, Cruz stood up.

"I'm Cruz Conradin. I am your master."

It's a serious tone, a rugged look that doesn't seem like the usual natural brave man.

A little bit like killing, the intimidation is coming out of my whole body.

The intimidation unleashed by Cruz, the brave warrior, is considerable.

The deputy aides bow their heads toward Cruz as they linger.

"I just replaced one deputy assistant."

"Uh..." "Oh, my God..."

To Cruz's words, the assistant deputies flatter. We looked at each other.

You want to ask questions, but you don't ask questions. I just raised my voice to groan.

I guess I'm in awe of Cruz's intimidation.

"His deputy was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment and confiscation of property at the Lords' trial."

"… Your Excellency the Count. May I ask you one thing?

One of the assistant deputies opens his mouth. I guess I squeezed my courage. My voice and hands were trembling.

He's as old as I am, he looks serious.

"Go ahead."

"What are the charges?"

"The unjustified increase in the tax rate. that the assessment of the grade of the field had not been carried out successfully; the unjust deprivation of the property of the inhabitants"

Cruz looks around as an assistant deputy.

And tell them clearly.

"As for any one, I can't forgive you. I will not tolerate such injustice in my own territory."

"… We will not do that. We perform our duties properly."

"I hope so. Let me revise your gazetteer."

Assistant deputy goes out of his way.

I guess I finally understood what it meant to bring the gazetteer.

"If you're going to confess wrongdoing, consider this your last chance. After looking into it, if it turns out, I'm sorry about the change. I'll have you locked up."

"We..."

Assistant deputy almost said something. But Cruz blocked it with his bare hands.

Assistant deputy holds his mouth in a panic.

"If I have to, I can ask His Excellency the Viscount of the Ancient Dragon (Enchanted Dragon) who is here, and I can look around directly."

"My niece seems to like to fly. Let's fly as much as we want. We'll be back and forth in half an hour from here to the end of the realm."

"Holy shit!

Without thinking about the atmosphere of the place, Sigi sounds happy.

The deputies don't seem to understand what an ancient dragon is.

But you must have seen Timi Shoara holding a small dragon and understood that she was not the only one.

The deputy aides began to confess their guilt.

I understood that the new lord Cruz meant it.

Many of the guilty pleadings of assistant deputies are of a level permitted by custom.

Estimate the grade of the field high. Estimate yields more often. That's what I said.

"Remember, the liver will not be tolerated in the future"

Cruz said that, assistant deputy was terrified.

I'm the assistant deputy to my cousin.

"Deputies"

"Yes."

"Please prepare an auditor. Adopt something you can trust from the center."

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

Assistant deputies are chosen from leading local figures.

There is a risk that hiring an auditor from the local area will not work.

I was surprised at the correctness of Cruz's judgment. I don't think I'm the usual natural brave man.

"And, deputy."

"Yes. What is it? My lord."

"I told you the tax rate wasn't a burden to the people, but you didn't say it clearly."

"Yes, I have given instructions to lower the tax rate respecting Your Excellency's will"

But it wasn't protected.

It means that the deputy and the lord Cruz himself were being licked.

"Maximum 30%."

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

"Let us also stop assessing the grade of the field unjustly high"

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

After issuing a series of orders, we are on our way back to Murgh village.

Timishoara is slowly flying to my eyes.

Vivi says to Cruz.

"Cruz. You were a kid who could have done it, weren't you?

"Eh heh."

Cruz takes the paper out of his nose.

There was something surprisingly written in fine writing.

"I asked Luca to write down what to do. I remember that."

"What. Luca thought about it."

"That's right. Because I don't know what's hard for me! I read the paper that Luca gave me and the material that the deputy showed me and the confiscated gazetteer, and I said it as I arranged it."

Cruz humbles himself, but I think it's pretty amazing to be able to arrange it.

Maybe he wasn't stupid.

Ask Cruz to explain the general policy that Luca taught me.

Maximum tax rate, assessment normalisation is mandatory. If it's as bad as usual, I'll forgive it once.

Preparing auditors from the centre.

Tell them that Cruz can actually look around in person.

That seems to have been the policy.

"Still, Cruz, isn't that amazing? That was noble."

"Eh heh. I tried to imitate the usual Luca and Al."

"Whatever Luca was, was I like that?

"Yes! I'm nervous"

Cruz is also studying. Seems to be growing little by little.

"I reflected. If the Lords don't hold on, the Lords are in trouble."

"Right."

"From now on, let's take a look around the territory."

"That might be nice, too."

"Mr. Al, let's go with him!

"If I were free."

"Yes!"

I'm sure Cruz will be a good lord.
