Chapter 162: My humblest apologies once again!

Chapter 162: My humblest apologies once again!

My sincerest apologies!!!

Viscount Frenco shouted so as he jumped in the air and then immediately prostrated himself upon landing.

Huh, Ive seen this scene before, havent I?

Ahm, much like with Viscount Dolz, I dont really get why youre apologizing, but

I believe that, much like me, Viscount Dolz apologized to you and to everyone for being such a selfish, egocentric lord.

Yes, exactly. My humblest apologies once again!

Like always, the immediate and drastic reform of people were quite frightening.

But then again, wouldnt our rehabilitation facilities make the world become a peaceful place?

Ive seen the error of my ways, and from this point on, I want to do my absolute best for the territory and the people! Ive of course made peace with Viscount Dolz. We plan to deepen our friendship while helping one another in developing our territories. Isnt that right, Viscount Dolz?

Most definitely. Lets do our best together, Viscount Frenco!

The two seemed to now have a better relationship.

Be that as it may, I wonder why I hated you so much? I cant quite understand it now. If we maybe tried back then to talk properly, we might have seen we had lots of things in common. Who knows, we might have become great friends

Now that you mention it, even though we attended the academy at the same time, weve never really tried to get to know another.

I guess if theres anything to blame, it was my envy of you, Viscount Dolz.

The same, of course, applies to our Frenco territory. However, weve heard of a rumor. That you, Luke-sama, have built a new city in the northern region of the Albert territory, and that that city could rival your first one. So, we thought that if you could do the same for our territories, perhaps then we can somehow defend against the dwindling of our population.

Rather than say I built a new one, it would be more accurate to say I rebuilt it.

But then again, I wouldnt mind if you took over my territory, Luke-sama!

Wait, seriously, what happened to that resolve you had earlier!?

Our resolve was to make our territories a better place. As long as that happens, I have no problem at all if Im not in control anymore.

Its as Viscount Dolz says.

The two of them have reached the realm of complete selflessness

Itll complicate things for me, so Ill have to decline

If I suddenly become the ruler of two territories, my father would have something to say, to put it mildly.

That thing with the Albert territorys North was somehow fine because it was a behind-closed-doors kind of thing.

But I dont mind agreeing to rebuilding some cities. It comes with some conditions though.

Conditions?

Firstly, your territories will be incorporated into my village. Next, your citizens would be registered as my villagers. Dont worry though, its just for my Gift to work. On the surface level, nothing will change at all.
