Volume 2 Chapter 44: Discussion
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After seeing off Dime and the rest of the royal knights, Cain and Alec got in a carriage and headed for the guild.
Darmeshia drove the carriage through the city, the two inside remaining silent, deep in thought.
After arriving in front of the adventurers’ guild, Darmeshia opened the carriage door.
“Cain-sama, Alec-sama, we’ve arrived at the adventurers’ guild.”
The two got off the carriage, and passing through the guild’s door, they entered inside.
As the morning rush had already come and gone, it was peaceful inside the hall. The receptionist ladies were chatting, as they had nothing to do, only Letia, in the back of the guild, had piled up a heap of documents and seemed to be working on the feverishly.
As soon as the receptionist ladies realized that the child who had entered the guild was none other than the lord, they instantly became nervous, the previously relaxed atmosphere inside the guild disappearing. When a receptionist lady went over to Letia and whispered to her that Cain had arrived, Letia stopped her work and came out into the hall from the back.
“Cain-sama, thank you for taking the trouble. I shall lead you to the guild master’s room.”
After Letia had told one of the nearby receptionist ladies the go make them some black tea, she led them to the guild’s office.
Arriving at the guild master’s office, Letia knocked on the door saying that Cain had arrived, but before she could to open the door, it was violently opened from the inside.
“Cain-sama, sorry for all the trouble; do come in.”
Rikisetsu, the guild master, guided Cain to the sofa apologetically.
Cain and Alec sat down on the sofa offered to them, while Rikisetsu and Letia sat down on one opposite them.
“As a new deputy governor was appointed the other day, I’ve come to introduce you to each other. This is my older brother, Alec.”
“I’m Alec von Silford, recently appointed to be the new deputy governor of this town. Nice to meet you.”
There was such a disparity in their appearances, that when the two-meters-tall, packed-with-muscles Rikisetsu and the slender Alec shook hands, even though Alec was an adult, he seemed like nothing more than a child in comparison.
“Alec-dono, I’m Rikisetsu, the guild master. I’m sorry for the guild’s recent failures. Currently, Letia-dono and I are figuring out how to clean up the guild. As for Betty’s two underlings, we’ve already caught them and had them sent to the royal capital the very same day.”
As in the incident this time around the lack of management from the guild master had quite the impact on things, Rikisetsu was apologetic from beginning to end.
Even Eden, the royal capital’s head supervisor had come to Drintor, so everything needed to be summarized urgently.
“I’ll leave the staff members to you. They’re guild personnel, so Eden-san will probably judge them in the royal capital.”
Everyone nodded.
Both Rikisetsu and Letia were busy, so Cain and the others left the guild early.
After Cain and co. had left, the receptionist ladies raised a commotion.
“Who was that person with Cain-sama? I heard a new deputy governor was coming, but to think it was that handsome young man!?”
“Cain-sama was too young anyway, but this new deputy governor seems to be an adult, so maybe I should aim for him!”
As they didn’t have much work to do at the moment, the receptionist ladies started gossiping and exchanging rumours excitedly about the person who had been there next to the lord.
*clap* *clap*
Suddenly, someone clapped, as if to get their attention. Looking over their shoulders, the receptionist ladies saw Letia, the sub guild master, her hands now on her hips, standing there angrily.
“Yes yes, that’s enough with the gossip and rumours. That person is the new deputy governor here, Alec von Silford-sama.”
“Silford, you say…”
“Yes, Cain-sama’s older brother. He’s something like a Margrave’s second son. As he’s the second son, he’ll be treated something like a quasi-noble in the future.”
“““Alec-sama…”””
The receptionist ladies started thinking about the blue-haired, handsome young man named Alec. Cain, as the head of a noble family, had been an unattainable goal, but Alec would still be treated as the child of a noble. Usually, a noble’s daughter would become the wife of someone of that standing, but that didn’t mean commoners had no chance.
“Seriously, you lot…”
Letia sighed and began looking through the mountain of paperwork on her desk.
Cain and the other two returned to the lord’s residence after having left the guild.
Cain and Alec were now sitting on a sofa in the office, while Darmeshia had not yet sat down, as he was preparing black tea.
“Now we can focus on internal affairs.”
Alec had brought a number of books over from the deputy governor’s residence and laid them all down on the desk in the office.
“First of all, I want to expand the walls. Also, I want to dismantle the slums, so we’ll have to relocate all the people living there. The ideal time for all that would be the summer vacation.”
Alec was amazed at Cain’s words.
“Cain, expanding the walls take years, and organizing that many people would be extremely difficult as well, not to mention the enormous cost of all that. Why don’t we start with something more realistic.”
“It’s fine, I’ll just do everything with magic. It will cost a lot of magic power, but I’ll manage somehow. And then I’ll leave all the rest up to you, Alec-nii-sama.”
“Speaking of which, His Majesty did say something like this… That you can do things that defy common sense… I see. Then, I’ll leave the walls to you.”
As they continued talking, knocking on the door, Darmeshia entered the room.
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. The tea is ready. Also, there’s a visitor, what should I do?”
Darmeshia went up to Cain and Alec and put their tea down in front of them.
Cain sipped the tea.
“A guest? How unusual. Just who in the world is it?”
“– – well, you see, Seto-sama came to see you…”
Darmeshia answered apologetically.
“Pffffwhat!”
Cain spat out the tea in his mouth in surprise.
Alec, who didn’t know about Seto, just tilted his head sideways at Cain’s reaction.
“He’s currently waiting outside, is it all right if I let him in?”
If the Demon King Seto just stood around in front of the entrance, the surrounding people would definitely be surprised.
“Sh-show him in immediately! Just leaving him to stand outside is rude.”
Darmeshia bowed and left the office.
After a while, the door was opened vigorously.
Entering the room was, of course, Seto, the Demon King. As always, he still had three horns sprouting from his forehead and was wearing extravagant clothes and a cloak.
“Cain-samaaaaaaaaaaa! Please listeeeeen!”
However, as he was nearly in tears, the Demon King had no dignity at all.
Cain was simply amazed at the sight.
