Chapter 10

⇺⇺⇺⇼⇻⇻⇻

It wasn’t until after the greetings of the thirty tribes were over and we were discussing negotiations in Zachary’s barracks that my party entered the village.

“My Lady, you’re safe!”

Lord Patron was tied up but not in bad shape.

“What about William?”

“Lord Spencer was taken away by the barbarian warriors.”

Husky is said to have been caught by about thirty barbarian warriors while trying to save me from being kidnapped.

William pulled out his sword at the village making the treaty broken, but I quite understand as there’s no way he could stand still when he saw me kidnapped in front of his eyes.

“Let him go. Right now.”

I asked Kirch to let William go, but he only shrugged as if he had no idea.

‘This bastard?’

See if I talk to you again.

At that time, the warrior who had brought Lord Patron whispered something to Zachary.

It seemed to me that the number of wounded warriors because of William was quite large, by looking at his quite angry face.

‘Looks like the situation is quite serious.’

But I’ve already learned a magic word that can tame Zachary.

“Orabeoni.”

One of his stone-like eyebrows twitched.

“Please release my escort knight.”

“……”

“In the first place, he was like that because of your brother, orabeoni.”

Then Zachary’s fearful gaze quietly shifted to Kirch.

“How can he not take out his sword when his master has been kidnapped?”

Zachary, who had been silent for a while, immediately nodded toward the door. It seemed that he finally decided to release William.

‘Oho……’

From that attitude, I was convinced that Zachary wanted to settle in smoothly in the county.

‘It’s not simply because I’m his bloodline.’

Zachary is in a more disadvantaged position than me.

Knowing this in advance was much more advantageous for future negotiations.

With confidence, I led the conversation.

“Orabeoni, please forget all your bad feelings about the White Eagle Knights.”

They fought each other and lost many of their comrades.

“As long as you decided to live in the County of Crawford, you are now an imperial citizen who is loyal to the Emperor.”

“Yeah.”

Fortunately, he had already made up his mind.

“It was a great loss to the County of Crawford to give away this enormous farm. Originally, this farm was lent to other families for a tax. ”

In order to rip off taxes, I have to throw the bottom line well.

“Giving up all of that and accepting the barbarians is the Count’s decision to make peace.”

The tribute to the lord was something the barbarians had never experienced.

“The Count of Crawford lost 20% of the manor operating expenses for a year. He accepted a huge loss for the sake of peace.”

“Just say to the point, Pretty.”

You spoke well, Kirch.

Turning to Kirch, who was far more easygoing, I pointed straight away.

“Give us the tax.”

“……”

“Thirty percent of crop production. A contribution of 200,000 Runa per household.”

There would be no negotiation.

Kirch was bewildered, but Zachary nodded his head anyway.

‘Oh yeah.’

It was easier than I thought.

Afterwards, some of the matters that Cedric had asked for were resolved smoothly.

By the time we were done talking, dusk had descended.

“…… Now, as the lord’s representative, my official visit is over.”

Kirhi, who had intervened a few times at first, was just looking at me with his chin resting.

He meddled for my attention, but he found this conversation boring.

“Actually, the reason I came to visit is because I have a request to ask you personally, orabeonii.”

“What is it?”

Kirch’s eyes shone again.

Either that or not, I just looked at Zachary and continued.

“The current lord of the Countess, Camilla Crawford, will soon be kicked out.”

“What? Why?”

“There are many reasons, but the most important issue here is that my mother does not want peace with the barbarians.”

In fact, Camilla was ignorant about this.

It was fortunate that she had no time to worry about the problems of this kind of matter.

“Is that why you came instead, My Sister?”

Zachary, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth.

“Yes, orabeoni.”

I nodded my head naturally.

“But my mother’s family is a family that has a lot of influence in the capital.”

“The Duke of Maple.”

How does Zachari know that?

The barbarians don’t know much about the great noble families of the Empire.

I was surprised, but I didn’t make it obvious.

“That’s right. In order not to fall outside the eyes of the emperor, we also need close connections with the imperial palace.”

“Connection with the Imperial Palace? How?”

Zachary frowned at once.

He seemed to have a headache just thinking about doing politics that he wasn’t familiar with.

“Who has a close connection with the Imperial Family among us……?”

I smiled softly to reassure him.

“The only granddaughter of the Empress Dowager.”

Zachary and Kirch tilted their heads at the same time.

“She is right in front of you now, orabeoni.”

“If you give me a little help, I’m telling you that this sister can be a connection to the Imperial Palace.”

“……!”

“I’m telling you that if you give me a little help, this sister of yours can become your connection to the imperial palace.”
