Chapter 6, Episode 3 [The Lord's Qualifications] Part 3

Hermeda. That's the name of a certain woman.

Was the year around the middle of the fifties? The appearance is neither particularly good nor inferior.

She is one of the civilians living in the corner of the city where Baron Garveira's mansion is located, admired by the people of the city for being casual and humane, but that's all that seems to be the handle.

A civilian woman anywhere in the earth world.

But such a mediocre presence of her was above all irreplaceable to Signis.

Yes, to the point where I don't even hate to bend my hold.

"You... why did you do that?"

There was zero surprise from Signis' mouth.

Roberto shook his neck sideways, not saying he was frightened by such a sign.

"Are you stupid or what... I think I've been dating you for years. There are so many possibilities for you to betray the Earl of Salzberg, aren't there?

Saying so, Roberto mouths the bottle of brandy again.

In fact, Signis is less interested in the desires of man who said wealth and fame.

Not so abject as not at all, but not as greedy as seeking until you betray people.

Gold, woman, power, honor.

The various temptations that cause many humans to step off the road have no effect on a man with steel self-control.

Hermeda is arguably the only weakness of such a signal.

"I should have realized what your Baron Chai was thinking then, too."

"At that time... after the first battle. Slight but weakened offense..."

Signis knew exactly what time Roberto was talking about.

We are certain that we were uncomfortable with the movement of your troops.

Of course, that's really slight discomfort.

It's something that only humans can actually feel when they cross spears on the front line.

"We're just tools of convenience. I doubt they would have prevented this ploy because they noticed what the man was after."

"Roberto......"

Roberto, with a masochistic look on his shoulder, had no words to hang.

If, hypothetically, command in this battle had been transferred to either Signis or Roberto by the Earl of Salzberg, the result might have changed.

No, it doesn't even have to be command, but with a little more understanding of the surroundings, the results would have definitely changed.

Even though we know the pit is opening its mouth in front of us, there will be no more ridiculous story than having to ignore it and move on with your legs.

But that's what happens when you don't have the right to make decisions of your own accord.

"Well, that's good. I don't care what happens now... so? How's Hermeda doing now?

Signis opens his heavy mouth when he laughs bitterly at Roberto's question.

I'm in this castle.

"Did they bring you here as a hostage?

That won't have to be asked now.

Hermeda is only a chain to keep away a beast named Signis Garveira.

In fact, the Baron Galveira family has sealed Signis' movements by imprisoning Hermeda for years.

But the zero words from Signis' mouth exceeded Roberto's expectations.

"No... I work as a maid at the Baron of Goshiba's house... he says it's his hope"

In Signis' words Roberto gently lifts his square eyebrow to show.

"Ho... that's again"

Roberto only had that word of Signis to check that Hermeda's thoughts were in his hands.

(It's something I expected a lot. That Hermeda... hey)

For Hermeda, who never married in her lifetime, Signis is the only son she has raised since she was a dairy drinker.

Even if it's not the blood connection, the relationship between the two is between the parents and the children.

For Signis, who has been neglected and kept on guard by his blood relatives, he is now the only ally in the Galveira family, except for his late grandfather.

Such Hermeda serves the House of Baron Gozai, an invader from himself.

(You admitted to being the Lord of Signis... and tried to relieve me of my extra vigilance towards Signis by taking the initiative... as good a courage as ever. Big old lady.)

Hermeda came with strong dissatisfaction with the Baron Galveira family today.

An arrogant, squanderer's genuine wife and her surroundings whose only blood is taken by a foolish, indolent man.

And the current Baron, who is aware of those problems but does not try to solve them.

Although the appearance has never been in the attitude, Roberto also thinks that Hermeda thinks that Signis deserves the head of the Baron Galveira family.

The thought would be extremely natural.

Signis' martial arts are extraordinary even as he looks around this entire kingdom of Roselia.

Then you are also good at commanding soldiers.

If you go out to Wang Capital, you can say it's a delicacy that will definitely show up at the Knights of Kingsguard.

If only that were an opportunity. It may not have even been a dream to succeed Elena Steiner, known as Roselia's white military god, and ascend to the rank of general.

That many men have been smoking at the border for a long time.

They have been abused and scorned by their families, and there is no honor or reward for raising their warfare, but they have just continued to be used like the good of the Baron Galveira family.

How sorry and sad I would have been as a mother.

(This is the battle there...... if you try Hermeda, it would be a chance to meet a thousand people)

Instead of just being a hostage, he launched active support by serving as a maid.

Hermeda's own value. And if you don't properly understand Signis' future position, it will be difficult to move quickly like this.

Hermeda aims at one thing.

(You just said you wanted to give Signis a chance to make a leap. It wouldn't be a bad story to think of in the position of Baron Koshiba...... at least it will be a cut to get the loyalty of Signis)

To be honest, Roberto hasn't even read through where Ryo Michizawa's true aim lies.

Draw the soldiers to the Waltenian peninsula, or destroy the ten northern houses completely and embark on effective rule?

And what lies ahead...

But either way, I only knew that Ryo Shiba was looking for talent.

(Otherwise you can't explain my treatment...)

It also makes me considerably less alert to Signis.

There will be no such thing as no surveillance, but at least we can assume that there will be no more restraints or harassment as was done at the Galveira family.

Signis shows strength on his own if not even interference from his allies.

(Have you abandoned yourself and opened up your child's future... envy me)

Signis leaned his neck in surprise to Roberto, who sighed loud with his eyes closed.

"Roberto?"

"You... you've got a good mother"

It was a heartfelt word to tell against a friend with a treasure that he could never hold.
