It's been a few days since Sylbus's "Inheritance Ceremony". but i'm still in sylvas.

Congratulations on defeating the bad guys - but it's the reality that doesn't end.

The place of stay has been moved from the luxury inn to the baron's mansion. I was listening to reports from them in the clerk's office of the elegantly decorated 'New Baron'.

"Tentatively, the reorganization of the Knights is over. All the knights who had committed crimes with Robald were sentenced to forced labour."

"The handover of the disposition to officials and merchants who were dyeing their hands illegally will be forthcoming..."

"I see."

'Baroness', who makes you feel plump and motherly, and Chancellor Jorus' handiwork was certainly brilliant. Immediately after the Inheritance Ceremony, he has led the entire confused Sylbus to restore security.

They were also preparing themselves for a time when they were hiding from Robald's eyes. He said he was secretly in touch with decent junior knights and officials.

The way you target your surroundings for a chance to fight back while deceiving the eyes of the mighty is certainly similar to that of the former Baron Sylvas.

... Though I hear the Baroness had completely limited herself to the former Baron as a fool's brother.

"It was thanks to the prestige of Lord Margils that the remnants of Robaldo were grown up and that the inhabitants immediately supported us. Thank you."

"It will all be the result of the people and efforts of Lord Filine and the Chancellor."

Baroness...... Miss Filinee smiled calmly and thanked her.

I haven't done anything since the inheritance ceremony myself, but it seems to have worked as a deterrent. Both Miss Filine and the Chancellor's Palace are encouraging the affairs all night long and do not look good. If you can help them by just being there, you can stay in Sylbus for a while longer...

"Phew... I'm done investigating the cost of running the mansion... give me a break already!

The former Baron who brought a bunch of reports...... no, yes, Sileon did scream.

"Give me a break? What's the fool's brother saying that pushed his responsibilities as a baroness man to a weak maiden?

"Ahhh!?"

"As such, well, Dear Philinee... that's about it..."

Miss Filine grabs and tightens that sill-on face. The obese youth now screams of pain, which the prime minister takes for granted.... It was a sight I've seen many times in the last few days.

"Because of you, my wedding date is long gone again, right? Before you go into exile, make sure it ends well."

Yes, Sylón had been sentenced to Sylbus deportation by Filinee. This procedure is more welcome than satisfactory to the chief clergyman, each guild master and other leading figures and the general public…

Though a trick to fit Robald in the inheritance ceremony, Sileon has become too notorious. Even though he was overwhelmed by the struggle for power, he is also responsible for failing to stop Robald's tyranny.

Especially the latter, if badly done, was a lapse involved in the very survival of the Baron Sylvas family, and he could not be acquitted.... Most of all he himself seemed to have assumed from the time he rolled into me.

"Phew! Every time I report it, my sister is about to crush my face or something!

"... is that all the reporting is?

"No mercy! Uh, yeah, I was also contacting you from the Bandit Guild. He said he had disposed of all the Robardian bandits. And from now on, I'll protect you in the shadows of the Baron's house or something."

"I have trouble getting too blatant, but now let me make the most of it anyway"

It's been a few days since the inheritance ceremony. In other words, the bandit guild executives we threatened so much in the concealed harbour of the Great Lakes bandit Khalid are also returning to their respective bases (of course, reuniting with the Laiha's Dark Elves).

The threat was well effected, and the Sylbus Bandit Guild masters also apparently made a hard vow never to be hostile to me - nor to the forces that are in friendship with me.

If you try them, you also think that working with the Baroness is a chance to sell you a favour without making direct contact with me.

"Dear Margils, the Baron Sylvas family has greatly appreciated you. From now on, Sylvas will serve as a loyal ally of Zytheas, led by Lord Margils. Tomorrow, this is for you."

"What's this?

Filine thanked him again and offered him a single scroll.

This luxurious piece is protected by heavy leather and decorated with gold foil silver foil. The Baron Sylvas family crest is also affixed.

"This is a pledge expressing support for the founding of the Ziteias and for Operation Lauris Retrieval. Please help us negotiate this in Ryushuk and the Great Conference."

"That's gratifying. Thank you."

After this, it will be negotiations with an urban state that holds the greatest power of the Leus alliance called Leusch. The pledge of Sylvas, one of the three major cities of the Lius Alliance, would be very useful. I bowed my head deeply.

"Well, now I..."

"Oh, wait a minute. Dear Margils,"

Stop my brother, Miss Filinee tells me.

"This is a personal favor. Could you please add this fool brother to your party, Mr. Margils?

"Fuhi no!?"

……

I guess I hadn't talked to you about anything beforehand, Sileon shouts a barbaric freak.

He did say that he was secretly keeping some property in other cities and was going to use it to live a hidden life.

Nothing. It's not what I'd say anyway, and I thought that would be good... but Hmm.

I recall Sileon's behavior these past few days.

"If Lord Sileon is good, I want him to be one of us."

"Are you insane!? haha!?"

Now eagled across the side by Miss Filinee, Sileon has a stunned look on his face this way.

"Well, it's sane. Maybe.... Lord Sileon's wisdom belongs to a 'kind' not in our camp"

"Shh, kind?

"All my people are very good and smart... but like Lord Sileon... uh, I don't like flexible ideas"

Crawler and Elizabeth, who are the brains in terms of political strategy, are too righteous in their thoughts. No, it's nothing. It's a good thing. Elizabeth has some belly-black spots, but still, the 'blessed' environment of the Duke's Lady is the basis for her thinking.

I feel it would be better to have one person like him who thinks muddy and obscene as a faction.

Another advantage is that he will be a piper with the Bandit Alliance within the Sylvas and Lewis alliances.

Besides, most importantly, I'm liking him.

When I was a company employee, I remember a senior who came off the birth course and got pussy slapped by a young employee, making himself a clown and improving the workplace air.

"What do you think? In the meantime... could you come to Zytheas as a consultant?

"Yes, no, that's... seriously? Is that good? Like me, though?

"Lord Sileon's abilities were well shown. Have confidence."

"Ooh... ooh..."

The young man, freed from Miss Filine's iron claw, knelt on the floor and wept with a whisper.

"Mmm, shit... I've never been told before... sooo... Guys, guys... even pigs about me... idiots..."

Fools thought pigs wouldn't be baseless slanders anyway, but keep quiet. Thus, Sileon became one of us.

Starting with the exorcism of the lake thieves and ending with the handling of Sylbus's civil conflict, it seems to have worked for a while.

Adding a new companion, we headed to our next destination, the military city of Ryushuk.
