"Now before we get down to business, may I say hello again first"

Ryo Jin names Douglas with his gaze.

"My name is Ryo Shiba. I am the one who gave Baron status over this Kingdom of Roselia and left the Waltenia Peninsula and the northern part of this country under his power… is this what it is when you do it in a formal way? Well, now it is."

With that said, Ryo Jin clasped his shoulders small.

What comes to mind in that face is a slight illumination.

Well, it's a pretty anachronistic rhetoric from a sense of Ryo True, so naturally.

Besides, it must be true now.

A few days ago, Douglas is on his way to the separate residence of Earl of Salzberg, where Ryojin is staying, as an emissary to the House of Lords.

There's no way Douglas doesn't know who the person between his eyes is like that.

If Douglas were to say that, it would be the level at which he would proceed to see a doctor.

But it's a hello from a nobleman with a title, whether he's a junior nobleman or not.

Not now, but I can't ignore it.

"Ha...... my name is Douglas Hamilton. He who will be a relative of the Count Hamilton family...... Excuse me the other day. Keep up the good work... Baron Koshiba... Dear"

Douglas returns a greeting.

That said, I'm stuck with words everywhere, and it's pretty much nothing.

From the point of view of the original courtesies and practices, I'm sure there are a lot of problems.

Besides, it may change the story in modern society, but it is not just inherently this Kingdom of Roselia, but it is common to say hello from a person of low standing or stature to the eye.

No, even in a modern society where there is said to be no identity system, upward and downward relationships are created due to differences in age, social position, etc.

Employees and part-time workers, parents and children, students and teachers.

Apart from these, it can be said that it is the society of people that has countless other relationships that are complicated to fold.

Of course, even if greetings to the eye are delayed in modern society, there is no first chance that it will be an exchange of lives.

Precisely, without common sense, he gets slapped in the pussy and soothes to the extent that his rating drops.

But even in a land world with an identity system, especially in the Kingdom of Roselia, which is said to be strict, it is a life-threatening issue.

For the hour and the case, he could be murdered as an impudent.

Of course, this would be an exception because I just said hello from Liang Zhen.

Also, this is in the House of Lords, and Douglas does not have a title, but given that he is not a civilian class, it is unlikely that he will be that important.

But if you go the way you should, it's certainly polite to bow your head from Douglas.

Naturally, I understand that with Douglas.

Beyond being the edge of the Count Hamilton family, we have been thoroughly planted in such practices and courtesies from an early age.

By nature, I would have greeted you with fluency that flowed without precipitation.

That said, if you put it in Douglas's shoes, that's what you can't do either.

Anyway, a few days ago and now we are clearly in a different position.

Of course, the winner is Ryo Shiba, and the loser is Douglas.

Otherwise, Douglas couldn't have been brought into this room.

However, Ryo Shin doesn't put any dust on his attitude.

And then, on the contrary, Douglas is worried about how to behave.

If I tried Douglas, would I feel like I killed him alive?

Most of all, Ryo Jin just smiles at Douglas as he sees his confusion.

Of course that's not because it's favorable or generous towards Douglas.

No matter how Douglas feels, you'd be right to say he's not interested.

As a matter of fact, Ryo Jin's call to Douglas means nothing more than getting a job done.

(Well, I can't go on like this...)

Liang Zhen is not interested in Douglas personally.

This time, it's not that I targeted Douglas, that I have a grudge against him personally, or that I'm hostile.

If you try to be bright, all you have to do is say that you need tools to succeed in your own measures.

And in choosing which tool to use, when Douglas picked me up at Count Salzberg's residence the other day, he just decided to ask Douglas for a job for not doing the right service, while accepting bribes for the price of all kinds of consideration for Liang Zhen.

Also, you would be right to grab your family in the sense of insurance.

Anyway, Douglas didn't pay for it once while he was receiving the money.

If you paid for it but couldn't get the right service or goods, most people would feel angry, and it's the same as complaining.

Well, just in terms of having no choice, I'm sure Douglas would be sorry, but more than he's already received consideration, all the ordeal he's been in is rust coming out of his body.

But if we don't get down to business at all times, only time will be wasted.

It would also need to be taken care of to properly use the tools.

"Well, please calm down a little. I'm not taking anything and eating it. Drink some water if you like... Come on"

With that said, Ryo Jin excused Douglas from asking around in a restless manner.

Douglas' body trembles for a moment at such bright true words.

Most of all, it must have calmed down somewhat.

No, I might be more right to say that I braced my stomach with a rash, to be exact.

But either way, when Douglas grabbed the glass in front of him, I'm pretty sure he drank all the water he had left in one breath.

"Excuse me...... so why am I here?

To that question, Ryo Jin nods satisfactorily.

"Well, actually, I wanted to ask Mr. Douglas for a job."

"Work......?

The moment he uttered the word, Douglas was struck by a fierce chill.

It's a guy who feels disgusting, as the saying goes.

Most of all, it's just a feeling that Douglas felt on his own for no reason whatsoever.

It's the same level of gossip as gossip.

However, there was absolute certainty in Douglas today.

"When it comes to work, what you want to ask for is not a big deal in itself. Well, maybe it's just a little risky."

Words that do contain.

And Douglas is not foolish enough not to read the nuances contained in that extrapolation.

In fact, it's not a good idea for anyone to believe when you call me here and tell me that the job you're asking for is no big deal.

"What do you mean?

It is suspicious and suspicious of Douglas to ask so.

That's the first person to ride such a suspicious story.

Normally, I would have kicked the chair down a long time ago and jumped out of the room.

That doesn't mean that Douglas understands exactly where he stands.

Douglas doesn't take a seat for two reasons.

One is the fact that, thanks to the hands of our colleagues, we have been taken to this room.

And the other is suspicion that your son Ryo Shiba is involved in the news of Douglas's family, who suddenly disappeared.

And Liang Zhen was having a conversation by putting Douglas in the math to think so.

(Well, it's not good to rush too much...... it's time to get down to business)

Seems like Douglas fully understands his position, so Ryo Jin roughly cuts to the point.

"Yeah, that's not a big deal. With the help of Mr. Douglas, I just want you to open the back door of the House of Lords."

To Ryo Tru's words, Douglas leans his neck unexpectedly.

"Is that the back door... is that what you're saying about that back door that opens in an emergency?

"Yes, the gate."

Hearing the words, Douglas shuts his mouth and shuts up.

And I just kept staring at the face of a young nobleman sitting in front of me.

The back gate is usually tightly closed.

No, the fact was that there are only a few people who know about its existence.

Because this back gate leads from the House of Lords to the North Gate, one of the shortest routes out of the walls of the king's capital Pireus.

It's set up as one of the emergency escape routes.

(Is this man aware of the existence of the back door... I heard he was a well-prepared man...)

Douglas was feeling the unpleasant feeling in him was getting bigger and bigger.

The back gate itself is made smaller so as to avoid the eyes.

Also, the jump bridge is always up, so soldiers don't stand like the main entrance.

There are only guards on the walls.

That said, they are protected by water moats just like the main gate, and the gates are made of iron, and the surrounding walls are also robust objects of stone.

If you don't bring a siege weapon to forcefully break through, you won't be revealed.

Even if it is attacked from outside, it is prepared to hold up enough until reinforcements arrive.

I'm sure there are fewer soldiers of permanent security than there are at the main entrance, but that's to keep the surrounding eye out for the presence of this back gate.

But instead of a small number, the soldiers guarding this back gate are a good choice among the House of Lords.

Naturally, it will take a lot of steps to open this gate.

That said, Douglas also knows that it's only pre-construction.

The reality is that if a considerable number of those in power or their allies order it, it is accommodating.

And it is not difficult to make the Count Hamilton family in third place in the House of Lords drink to that extent of impossibility.

(If you can open it, you can't open it. At least until now, if I go and give the soldiers a word, that's fine...)

The problem is where Douglas stands now.

If it was when he was releasing his prestige as the edge of the Count Hamilton family, it was not as difficult as that, but it was doubtful whether Douglas, who had been taken by his colleague's court to treat him like a sinner, still had that much influence.

(Besides, what are you gonna do with the back door open? I don't think so......)

The only possible scenario is that Ryo Shiba is planning to escape from this House of Lords.

Normally, it would be most likely.

But I don't think that's a very meaningful act.

(For escaping safely from Wang Du, so what? Caged in the Waltenia Peninsula?

It will be true that Ryojin Gozai did defeat the Earl of Salzberg and the nobles who followed it in the earlier battles and put the northern part of the Kingdom of Roselia under control.

But that is only a temporary occupation.

Many of the inhabitants who gasp more or less at the vortex should never favor the new lords who caused the war.

If a conquest army with the royal seal of Roselia were to be dispatched where it stood and caged in its own territory, the hearts of the inhabitants would undoubtedly be separated from Liangzhen Gozai.

The only way to get there is to surrender or to self-determination.

(Or he seems to be from the civilian class, an escape from throwing everything aside unnecessarily...)

This is where Douglas thinks he can see ahead, but there's no other reason to think about it.

But with such doubts about Douglas elsewhere, Ryo Jin just smiles gently.

And slowly opens his mouth.

"What do you say, Mr. Douglas? Can you take it on?

"You can refuse..."?

Douglas has a self-derisive laugh.

But Liang Zhen shows her shoulders flaunted against Douglas like that.

"I won't impose anything else"

Ryo Jin erased the grin that was floating.

Then, turn that cold lighted eye straight to Douglas.

"But if you take it, the reward will bounce. Besides, I wouldn't break a promise I made once, even if it wasn't like yours. Let me give you this evidence."

With that said, Ryo Jin placed it on his desk when he received a wooden box from Laura, who stood behind him.

Then, slowly open the lid of the box.

At that moment, Douglas understood everything.

The sharpness of the fangs shown by the man who has made a fool of himself as a civilian uplift known as the bone of every horse, while freezing the muscles of difference.
