Sir Rice’s monologue ends.
“That’s what it is. I gave precedence to memories of the Millard family before the people.I’m disqualified as a lord. ”
In the first place, the cause was the debt of the Millard family’s predecessors.In order to overcome the famine that once struck the Millard family, previous generations raised funds from many sources.One of the sources of the loan is the Baron Korg family, which is the home of Cliff’s mother.
Baron Korg’s land was fertile, mines were sometimes owned, and he had plenty of money to lend.
Initially it borrowed 10 million G, but the interest rate swelled up, neglected, and in a few years it went up to hundreds of millions G.
I don’t like things that lend hundreds of millions of G’s to poor territories.The debt will not be repaid, and eventually Millard territory will have a huge bomb.
At that time, Baron Korg offered as a condition for the cessation of interest the marriage of his daughter Valeria and Rice.At that time, Rice had Anna, a Maguire who had sworn her future, but if she refused to marry, interest would swell even further and, in fact, Millard’s business would collapse.
Under the laws of the Archives Empire, territories that have become difficult to administer are confiscated by the state.And in cases where there is a lord who lends to a lord who has caused a business failure such as this one, it is often transferred from the state to the creditor, the aristocracy.
This is a de facto illegal wrestling modus operandi that undermines management rights in other territories.In short, the Millards were set up.
If you defy the Baron Korg, your business will virtually collapse and you will lose your title.Rice chose to hang Baron Korg’s neck to keep House Millard alive.
“Oh no, this came out of Shirabe’s class, right?
To Pruitt’s casual feelings,
“Indeed, it was a conquest of the fraud that was spreading throughout the Empire.”
Mia nods remembering the contents of past classes.
“No, I didn’t think it was being demonstrated in my own territory.”
Cliff expresses his thoughts with a cynical laugh.
“My lord, if you could at least consult with me”
To Sebastian’s blaming words,
“I’m sorry. But I wanted to avoid getting bigger and losing territory.However, that made things worse. ”
Lower your head deeply and spin the words of explanation.
“So? What do we do after all?You still owe Cliff’s mom money to her parents, don’t you think?
Pruitt’s right.As long as it is legal under imperial law, the Baron Korg will take this Millard territory.
“That’s…”
When Thomas opens his mouth, the outside of the Mansion becomes noisy.
With a small tongue, Thomas takes a breath cliff as he closes his mouth with his arms together.
Judging from this, I think Cliff’s mother is on her way here now.
The doorway sighed and stopped.Multiple footsteps approaching.
Then, when the door is opened with momentum, an elderly man with gray hair, a young blonde woman, and a giant with musculoskeletal brown hair enter the room with several servants, led by a woman with brown hair lowered in middle-aged age.
The brown-haired lady looked at Thomas uncomfortably, then glanced at the cliff, went in front of Sir Rice, and rested her hips on both hands.
“Please explain what you mean, my lord?
Intimidate with a low voice.As Lord Rice shook his shoulders to the throat of Cliff, he stood up.
“As you can see.I will transfer the next owner of this territory to Cliff.At the same time, until Cliff graduated from Magic Knight Academy, I decided to put on this Thomas as a temporary host. ”
Speaks in an unexpectedly strong tone to Sir Rice.
“Such a selfish…”
“I am in charge of this territory.As long as I have the right to inherit, I have the right to decide. [M]And Cliff deserves to be the main player.The same goes for my oldest son, Thomas.That’s why I’m not taking your orders!
“Nah….”
Neglected and angry like an octopus, Valeria, the mother of Cliff, approached Sir Rice with a slightly nasty smile from an old man with gray hair.
“How strong are you?But is that okay?With interest, your debt will be $50 billion.Can I pay you that money?
Whispers in his ear with a murmur.
……
To the silent Lord Rice,
“Look at that! Valeria!
“My lord, this puppet, Linda’s son-in-law, will inherit the Millard family.”
Valeria shouted proudly at a young man with a huge mushroom-cut body, turning her right hand.
“I’ll do it all day. Let’s get out of this mansion.”
“Linda, that was really good!
A girl with long blonde hair knitted behind her feels like she’s falling down and trembling.
His face is pale blue and bloodthirsty, and he doesn’t seem happy with marriage at all.
Valeria hugged Linda from behind.
“Hey, Linda, you’re going to support this Millard family with your puppets, right?
Ask with a sweet voice that even remembers nausea.
……
Linda squeaks her chin with her nauseous eyes.
I’m sure she’s been forced by her real mother to get engaged to a man she doesn’t like.
Tote Village is a huge city comparable to Laddle.The value of the Millard family that contains it becomes astronomical.Especially in this archival empire, where factions and nobles will take power in the future, we may be thinking of transferring part of the village of Toto to the central government and making it the nucleus of its position.
I’ve heard of Valeria’s worst, but it doesn’t seem like anything.I never dreamed of being such an ugly person.At least as the same woman, Valeria’s behavior is beyond acceptable limits.
“Linda, after all, is it you who make the choice?
“Choice?”
Thomas nods loudly with his eyebrows up to Linda, murmuring with a fading voice.
“That’s right. Do you have any idea why the servants stayed in this scum house?Because I was worried about you.
Waste of my mouth…
Valeria tried to keep her mouth shut.
“You shut up a little bit!Linda’s sister’s talking right now!
The cliff rose sharply and Pruitt’s cheeks next door twitched.Of course. Cliff now had his reason on the verge of flying.
“How dare you talk to my mother!”
“That’s why I say May flies.”
Valeria was staring at Cliff’s beast and hardened as if she had been tied.And in that fact he stretched out thick blue bars upon Cricket Valley, and turned back the knight-like servants behind him,
“What are you doing?!Hold it!I’ll break it later!
Give instructions that don’t seem like a very good mother.
……
However, they all trembled without moving slightly.This cliff’s gaze during the battle was such that even the familiar Mia could feel tired.They’re just ordinary knights, and they won’t even be able to resist.
“Why did you follow my instructions?”
Say it again. Shut up.
Without even looking at him anymore, Cliff shook the tip of the Love Spear’s [Spear of Madness] at Valeria and silenced him.
“I have heard about the general situation from the servants.That Tanaka’s youngest brother doesn’t even know how you feel.You sure about that? If you go with them, I swear.Gray’s never gonna show up before you again, is he?
Grab the hem of the skirt and tremble.
“No….”
Murmur with a slug.
“Be as clear as you want.”
Like Thomas said,
“No! I don’t want to get married!I swore I’d be waiting for Grey’s return here forever!
Valeria opened her eyes to Linda screaming with a hysterical voice as she cried.
Ser Rice and Mr Sebastian look with warm eyes.The servants of this mansion set foot at the entrance to the room.
(Maybe….)
I remember the look on the woman’s face.Especially when it comes to Dr. Gray.I’m sure she’s…
“I told you so. Linda.You’re all right now. ”
According to Thomas, Linda finally squats down and cries like a toddler.
“Very well. All I wanted to do was be calm, Rice, and I was at least grateful to you, but stop, stop!Pay back 50 billion G immediately!If you can’t, this territory is not ours. ”
Baron Korg, an old man with gray hair, pronounces himself blissful with an unpleasant smile.
But Sir Rice, Thomas and all the servants of the Mansion were flat.Rather…
“It’s an old testimony from many generations ago.Are there any left?
to the question of Sir Rice’s foolishness,
“Proof? Of course I do.Here we go!
Remove a letter from his chest, untie it, and show it to Lord Lina.
Sir Rice nodded satisfactorily.
Sebastian, bring it to me.
On Sir Rice’s quiet instructions,
“Yes”
With all due respect, Sebastian leads his servants into the back room where Thomas just came out.And he came out carrying several large bags that looked heavy.
“There’s 50 billion Gs here.Please tell me the difference. ”
“Uhhh….”
I was stunned for a while, but I approached the cloth bag as if I had been played, and looked at it with dismay.
Grab one of the red coins with a trembling hand and bite it hard with your teeth.
“Really? If so, don’t be stupid….”
To Baron Korg, who is still at ease,
“I’m unpleasant!Father, we must return to the realm immediately!
To Valeria’s high voice,
“Oh, wow. I see.”
With the letter in his right hand in his pocket, Baron Korg tries to get out of the room as if he were running away, but at the exit there is a blonde young man with arms tied up blocking the door with his left foot.
“Out of the way!
The blonde young beauty fishes up the edge of his mouth and snaps his fingers at Baron Korg, who shouts angrily.
Suddenly, the barons of Korg were neglected by a large number of black robes entering the Mansion.
“Sir Lina, you did well.”
A blonde giant man with wounds all over his body showing himself through the back door and a middle-aged man with a black hair and a middle-aged man with a jaw appear.
“Father! Brian! Brian!Why are you here!?
Gives Teresa a quiet gesture to raise and lower her right hand.
Does Teresa’s father mean that the mighty man’s benevolence is Count Hartwich, the male of the regional opulence?
“Well, Baron Korg, this world commercial guild secretary, Lina Owenheim, will be a witness to the repayment of 50 billion G from House Millard to Baron Korg.Doesn’t matter, does it?
In the words of Count Hartvig and the proclamation of a blonde man, Baron Korg quickly grew pale.
“Now, present the contract.”
Baron Korg nodded as he smiled at Lord Rhina’s demons.
