Chapter 442 Episode 440: For free time

"The wedding of Trougotte will follow the investigation of the Adventurers Guild in the Kingdom.After that, leave for the clan. "

Yes, my father's life has fallen.

In other words, my trip to my clan is after the Kingdom's investigation.

Until then, I had time.

"Is there anything you should do?

"I finished the request I had in the Imperial Branch the other day, and I hardly ever worked as a prince."

"Any word from Leo's men?

"Core people are on the battlefield with Leonardo, and others are reluctant to move during the war."

"I see. What's the truth?

"You're afraid to bring the report to Arnold, who has been fooling around with the crown prince.In fact, I don't have any major problems, so I was wondering if I could just leave it alone. "

"Oh dear... well, if you say so, you'll cry to Fine."

I came to the conclusion.

I'm free.

Nothing to do.

I've finished what I can only do now, and I don't have enough time to get started on big things.

"Should I do something?

"It's dangerous to move halfway.I wonder if it's right not to do anything.If anything happens, they'll come from over there. "

"What's over there?

"People who need Arnold."

That's how Sebastian said it.

The door to my room was knocked.

■ ■ ■

"It's been a long time.His Highness Arnold. "

"Long time no see. Count Beltz.You were flying around as Minister of Works, weren't you?

"Yes, yes. Many buildings were damaged everywhere, so I was busy rebuilding them."

The man who appeared before me was a man of thirty years old.

He was Count Beltz, who became Minister of Works.

Few of the ministers were in the Imperial Capital because they were particularly busy.

After all, the Empire has been damaged everywhere.

I have heard that seeing the scene with my own eyes was the style of Count Beltz, and therefore it was a day of excitement.

Damage comes from next to next.

"In addition to his duties, he also arranged meetings with nobles everywhere, right?It's been a long time. "

"No! This is also to put His Highness Leonard on the throne.I don't think it's hard. "

Not very much in the Imperial Capital, ministers flying around were easy for Leo to use.

I was meeting with nobles everywhere to draw attention.

Pipes with ministers are important to local nobles.Especially if you're a nobleman who wants to go into the middle.

So, what do you want from me today?

"Well, that's...."

You're nervous, Count Belts has been wiping his sweat with handkerchiefs many times.

And after several sweats, Count Beltz never looked me in the eye.

"Your Highness, I have a favor to ask...!

Say it.

"Actually... it's better than this!Would you follow me!?

I accidentally turned into a real face.

Of the ministers, this is the only one who will make such a futile request to the prince.

It seems foolish to assume what will come.

I'm so tired.

"... why do you need me to meet you?

I have a slight headache.

Maybe it's because I've been dealing with serious problems lately.

These kinds of problems seem to be light.

But it's serious for him.

"As a matter of fact... I met the daughter of the Marquis de Prycelle."

The Marquis de Pricel knows very well.

To be precise, I know the wife of the Marquis of Pricel better.

Rumor has it that the wife holds all the real power in the house.

"When I was at work with the Marquis of Pricel, he liked me... so I was asked to see my daughter... and apparently she kept it to herself..."

"I'd rather not talk to my wife about my daughter's relationship."

"That's true... but I don't think it's a bad relationship for you, madam, and I want you to show me the proof of your devotion to His Highness Leonard's forces... and if you can show me that, I'll admit it..."

Not at all.

This man is an extreme man.

I didn't tell you to bring me here as a lady.

At best, you're going to show me your relationship with the aristocrats involved in the faction.

Or a letter from Leo.That's what I was supposed to do.

"I could imitate Leo and write a stroke..."

"It could be troublesome later."

"I can't help it...."

Sighing, I got up from my chair.

■ ■ ■

"Oh, hey... didn't Count Beltz go home angry...?

"If you go home so angry, that's the man!We're in an empire fight!Speaking of ministers, the future will not be safe if we do not feed on the hub of our forces!

I heard a loud voice from inside the room.

Count Beltz bows to his voice.

Sometimes about my ex-wife, I don't think a strong woman is good at it.

"Well then...."

Count Beltz puts his hand on the door and looks at me.

You wouldn't have waited this long.

As I nodded, the Count of Belts opened the door and entered the room.

"P, Marquis Pricel!Thank you for waiting!

"Oh, Count Beltz!Good to see you back!Don't make me sick, it's just a little momentum.... "

"It's not momentum.I have decided to leave my daughter to a man of peace in the future.His Majesty's forces are now gaining momentum.However, as a result, many nobles are joining the faction.I want you to show me evidence that you are trusted by His Highness Leonard. "

"Yes... Madame is right... but you're here."

That's how Count Beltz shows us the door.

The Marquises of Pricel turned their gaze on me.

The moment they got off the chair, they fell on their knees.

"Ah, Lord Arnold!?

"I would like to thank His Highness....."

"You can relax.I was just asked to accompany you. "

That said, I sat next to Count Beltz.

I don't know what to do, and the couple are still on their knees.

I urged the couple again.

"You can relax.I can't talk about it. "

"Well then...."

"Excuse me."

The couple sit back in the chair.

Next door, Count Beltz is wiping his sweat with a handkerchief again.

You must be more troubled by the reaction than I thought.

"Well, Marquis Pricel.You're worried that Count Beltz is devouring Leo's forces?

"Ha, yes...."

"I want you to rest assured.Count Beltz was the first minister to express Leo's support.We're flying around, so we don't have a chance to be together, but if Leo were in the Imperial Capital, Leo would have come here himself.We're a lot of people. We will not abandon Count Beltz unless he abandons us.Would you have convinced me?If my words aren't enough, why don't we set up a place after Leo gets back?

"No! No thanks!Enough already!Ha!? Right!?

"... I underestimated the influence of Count Beltz.I can't believe I brought His Highness here... forgive me for her shallow thoughts. "

"It's only natural to worry about my daughter's future.If you are a young lady raised by someone like you, I can rest assured that Count Beltz will take care of you.Sometimes wives change their husbands to the bad ones.But I think we can expect a better change. "

Just say it and stand up quietly.

I don't need to be here any more than Lady Beltz has acknowledged the influence of Count Beltz.

Then we'll talk about each other.

"Well, excuse me."

"So, Your Highness!?

"It's not good to have someone else on board.All you have to do is do your best. "

That's what I left behind.
