Margrave’s Bastard Son was The Emperor Chapter 97

Episode 97. Good news and bad news

The path has been decided.

Romandro continued to sharpen his pen until the candle had all melted. It was almost like my eyes were falling out trying to write the whole story of the incident, including Count Merelov’s daily behavior, as truthfully as possible, but as advantageously as possible.

Sarah.

“Romandro. “Can I leave this here?”

“Oh, Hannah. okay. request.”

It was a testimony from the servants of the Merelov Mansion. Since most of them were illiterate, they only had a handprint, but it would become a document proving the wife’s innocence and Dive’s pilgrimage.

“Anyway, I think even the center will be a bit surprised.”

“Of course it is. “The count was killed by a slave one morning, and his younger brother, his only successor, was a heretic who believed in the Underworld.”

“Besides that, I’m sure they’d be surprised that you sold Gula seeds to Merelov. “There is no mention of Gula’s popularity yet in the response to the report.”

“Have you received a reply from the center?”

Romandro hesitated for a moment at Ian’s question. Judging from his attitude, it doesn’t appear to be a very positive reply.

“Well, you said to send Lord Molin up to the center first.”

“Are you Mariv?”

“That’s right.”

“this.”

Ian clicked his tongue sincerely. Isn’t this the part where it is revealed who is the winner and who is the loser in the battle between Marib and Gale?

“It’s unfortunate, but it’s not that difficult. “It’s not like we’re going to treat them with honor, so I’ll tell you to prepare a carriage right away.”

“Are you okay? “Then we will meet again in the center.”

“What should I do? “When we meet again, each other’s situation will be clear.”

Ian is a nobleman and wizard. Moline is an executive in the administration.

Isn’t the difference clear?

“Anyway, in the central government, gula is not edible. “It will be difficult for quite a few people until this winter.”

“By the way, what should we do with the ones grown in Merelov?”

It is said that the warehouse is still full of seeds that the Count bought and sold and intended for Gula distribution. To put it bluntly, four months passed before the ink even dried on the contract.

“well. “We have already received the price, so it would be better to follow your wife’s wishes.”

“It seemed like the wife wanted to quickly share, grow, and eat abundantly.”

“Then do it. “We are completely liberalizing the buying and selling of Gula for our residents as well.”

This meant that, in addition to roasted gula, raw gula that could be cultivated should also be included in the trade. Roman Dro put down his pen and glanced at the chest sitting on one side of his office.

“Two chests have already arrived. I guess I’ll have to go to the bank again soon. How much? “I think it’s about 200 gold coins per box.”

Hearing Romandro’s muttering, Ian also started counting. If you add the 3,500 coins he earned from selling Gula to this small income and the 5,000 coins he received from his wife as a reward, it was as if he had already collected most of the donations.

“Congratulations. If this trend continues, we will be able to pay the entire contribution before next summer. Then you will become a true noble. Ah, then I will be sure to be careful and treat you with respect.”

“Take it easy. “I received a lot of grace just by helping me like this.”

As Ian praised him sincerely, Romandro’s clown slowly came up. He wrote a report to be sent to the imperial palace with great care, word by word.

“Well, once Merelov’s side is roughly sorted out, we’ll have to pack up and leave. “If I leave in 15 days, I think I’ll be able to get to the center with ease.”

“I will do that. I don’t have any luggage anyway. “I don’t have many family members to accompany me.”

It wasn’t a move, it was just Ian and a few other people moving. All his luggage will fit in one wagon. In the center, it was a trick to take care of Romandro’s mansion, so trying to take care of it in a hurry would only end up being a nuisance. The only family I could take with me would be Beric.

“Let’s see, is this all that needs to be sorted out?”

Romandro asked as he sorted out the thick documents. Considering the amount of documents, it seems that one Jeon Seo-gu cannot handle it.

“By the way, what about your mother?”

“My mother?”

“I’m talking about Philia. “Are you saying you’re still living in the forest?”

“iced coffee. I told him to come down to the village, but he seems to have no intention of doing so. “I plan to ask the village’s tree keepers to come and take a look, even if I can’t overcome the cold spell.”

The name Brac disappeared, and the appearance of the village changed significantly due to the traces of the battle. However, for Philia, it was not just a happy and nostalgic hometown, and she seemed to be immersed in the life she enjoyed in the forest.

“But if we go to the center, we won’t be able to see each other for long.”

“Anyway, even if we go together, we won’t be able to see each other often.”

“but. okay. Will the Ministry of Magic leave you alone? Oh, I’m sorry. “This is my personal prediction.”

Romandro, who had been muttering without thinking, smiled shyly. But Ian understood what it meant right away.

“I think so too. Did you say Minister Wesley? Whether it’s medicine or poison, it’s probably coming up close. “It may be very different.”

“okay. Aren’t they wizards who go out when the moon rises in the morning and come back looking at the stars? Even if you take her mother, you won’t be able to take care of her properly.”

This meant that the amount of training and workload was large. But since Ian had already experienced it, he didn’t think much about it. Because you can go back to the way you were before you were assigned to the Ministry of Magic.

“But Beric hasn’t come yet and I don’t know what he’s doing.”

Romandro muttered as he looked outside as it became increasingly dark. It’s been half a day since I went out to chase Puulu, who is thought to be the leader of Merelov’s Three Knights. He showed no signs of returning, so it was natural for him to be worried.

“There are warriors involved, right?”

“yes. If anything had happened, a hawk would have come flying by. Let’s wait until tonight. “Romandro, when you finish writing the report, please check the top of Hawanguk next time.”

“Oh yeah. “I understand.”

The Hawan Kingdom was responsible for cleaning up the dive that Lady Lien was worried about. To be exact, the upper part goes to Toolun State through Hawan.

“I don’t know if there’s a good place.”

“Cost is not something to consider, and it would be better to be sincere and responsible. “I guess we should focus on the old top, right?”

“How do you get around?”

Romandro’s eyes narrowed. There were many different methods of entrustment. Either he moves with the upper class as if he was stealthy, or he moves under strict guard, or even that… … .

“It’s better to be sure.”

“okay. “I agree.”

They move tightly, as if escorting a prisoner.

It seemed like the latter method would be best for diving.

“If you are a pilgrim, shouldn’t you be accompanied by pain and suffering?”

At Ian’s joke, Romandro laughed out loud for the first time in a long time.

“Where is the investment?”

“They say the cost will be raised by selling Dive’s mansion in Merelov. It would be better to make a decision sooner rather than later, before we leave. “Let’s make a decision together with my subordinates tomorrow.”

“Add to Madame Lien. Decide who will be responsible for the dive and take you to Hawan and Toolun.”

“hmm. “It would definitely be nice to have one more device.”

‘Personally, I think Clark is the right person, but that will be your wife’s choice.’

Coincidentally, there were many soldiers stationed on the road to Hawan. This is because the misunderstanding that Erica was a thief has not yet been resolved with the appearance of Erica. There is no news of where Erika and the investigation team disappeared in the chaos.

“And Hannah.”

“yes?”

Hannah was moving miscellaneous supplies around and listening to what the two people were saying. She lightly motioned for Ian to come closer.

“Did you hear what I said?”

“Uh… . “It wasn’t a secret story, was it?”

“okay. So, this means keep it engraved in your mind. Make sure you learn it for 15 days while putting things together.”

“Are you sure you are learning?”

“Starting tomorrow, you can go to Merelov and ask the butler to teach you your business.”

It was an expression on his face that did not understand Ian’s words. Hannah just blinked and tilted her head. Roman Dro, who was watching her from the corner of his eye, burst into laughter.

“Do you want me to do the deacon’s work?”

“okay.”

“I am? I am? “Am I a deacon?”

“You’ve lost a lot of sense.”

Hannah covered her lower abdomen with both hands, but her wide-open mouth was still visible. It was proof that she had never thought about it.

Since ancient times, a butler has had to be well-versed in the etiquette and system of nobility, know how to read, and take complete responsibility for the mansion in the absence of the owner.

“I don’t think I can do it.”

“why?”

“Because I learned nothing… … .”

“That’s why it’s called being an actor. My name is Samon. He’s a talented guy, so you’ll learn a lot from him. “Is there anything else you want to say?”

His resolute response was to accept it if there were no other reasons. Hannah stood blankly for a moment, then she muttered.

“Do you mind if I run around the hallways for a bit?”

“okay. “No one is sleeping yet.”

“excuse me.”

Click.

Hannah left the office, saying a polite greeting, which she didn’t usually do. The wadada sound is heard right away. She screams as Hannah rushes down her hallway, ecstatic in her pleasure.

Romandro shook off his laughter.

“what the. “I don’t know if I can do well like that.”

“Hannah is trustworthy. There are many people who can fill in the work gaps. “Didn’t you say that Nersarn and two of Romandro’s subordinates remain?”

“Originally, only one person was supposed to remain, but since Merelov was gone, I’m sure there will be some confirmation orders from the imperial palace. “When I saw that, I told him to come up.”

“From what I heard, it’s because those who stay are single.”

“I’m going to sell it, whatever. So who doesn’t want to get married?”

Ian laughed softly at Romandro’s playful response. Finally, the only audible sound in the office was the crunching and grinding of the pen tip.

Knock knock. Talk.

The night is getting deeper. Something was knocking on the window. A hawk as black as the darkness was calling out to Ian with its golden eyes.

“this.”

“Is it a warrior’s falcon?”

What I jokingly said was that if there was a problem with Beric, the hawk would come was no longer a joke. Ian immediately opened the window and brought the hawk inside. There was a small note tied to the guy’s ankle.

Rustle.

“What does it say? By any chance, that Beric guy isn’t dead, is he?”

Romandro stood up and asked, but Ian gave no answer and only made a strange expression. He quickly showed me the note and shrugged his shoulders.

“I guess the warriors I went with were fluent in Bariel.”

– Beric. article. In Monne. chase. forever.

Since the situation was only conveyed through a list of words, how could anyone possibly know its meaning? Even if two people with unusual senses put their heads together, they couldn’t guess.

“Anyway, the problem is the problem.”

“I guess we can only check that one thing.”

“If you go to the Monne, aren’t you talking about the coal mine over there?”

“you’re right. “I guess the chase continued there.”

It was not inside the territory, but a coal mine located deep in the mountains between Merelov and this territory.

“I should go, right?”

Romandro asked in a hushed voice. A mountain of parchment piled up next to him. The smell of ink is strong enough to drown out the smell of the fireplace.

Ian shook his head as he gathered up his thick jacket.

“Romandro, look at your work. There are only 15 days left, so you need to be diligent. I’ll go to Beric. “Is there anyone out there?”

“yes. Ian. “Did you call me?”

“Prepare the carriage and guards.”

“Tonight? “Where are you going?”

The servant looked surprised and asked back, but Ian just smiled and adjusted his clothes.

“Monne. “I’m going to pick up Beric.”
