Chapter 98: The Mayor's Office
Living on the continent of Eluo, where there are no clocks that look like clocks, my internal clock becomes more accurate.
I woke up in the morning, sure that it was morning, but to my surprise, it was pitch black. I thought for a moment and remembered that the windows were boarded up. This probably prevented the morning sun from entering the room.
I used my lighting magic to illuminate the room and saw that Kohliy was asleep, wrapped in a blanket.
I quietly got off the bed so as not to wake her.
As soon as I left the roomon & Kohary room, Odi came running in. Apparently he was waiting for me to wake up while working nearby.
I could see a hint of emotion in Odie's business-set expression his.It was gentle and warm, like a parent rejoicing over the growth of a child.
Oddie was waiting to take me to the bath. Tesch had already arranged for my morning bath.
Feeling uncomfortable with my sticky body, Odie led me to the open-air bath in the courtyard.
Senior servants basically do not do water work or hard labor. This is because they are the work of lower-class servants. Do it.
In this case, the former was the case. Since there are no junior servants at the Nambonan mayor's mansion at the moment, Odie has no choice but to do this kind of work.
So I was carefully washed down to the skin of my cock by Odie.
My seminal vesicles were still empty, probably because I had been playing until dawn, and my cock was so deflated that it could be described as a child's cock.
When I was a little boy, Odie was in charge of bathing. I was a little embarrassed that he saw my child cock, which was still the same as it had been back then. I wanted to show him my cock, with its veins floating and its skin peeling off, its curves like a crescent moon.
After the bath, I had breakfast and moved to the mayor's office, where I had a cup of tea and had my plans for the day in my head.
It was at this very moment that the roomon entered the room.
'Good morning, Mr. Mayor.
I thought he was here to talk about work, but he bowed his head and said something like, “Take care of my sister.
By the way, Kohliy, who was not used to sex, was said to have muscle pains all over her body and was unable to move Tesh said that Odie was assisting Kohary to take a bath.
'I have a favor to ask you.
What is it?”
'Can't you let Kohary continue working, if only for a little while?'
According to Roomon, Kohary has recently become very cheerful and active.
Kohary had been a doll who was not expected to do anything by her own father, and was only enshrined as the daughter of a merchant family. Now she has a job, albeit as a scullery maid, and is able to experience the outside world and be useful to others. For Kohliy, it was a frightening experience, but at the same time, it was a fresh, interesting, and fulfilling one.
Roomon seemed to be concerned that Kohary would have a hard time returning to the life of a doll now that she knows the outside world.
She said She is not just a doll this time, but more like a love doll, “He said.
But even if she continues to work as a chore, it will not be the same as before.There will be a difference in treatment between the other chores and Kohliy.If it turns out that only one person is being treated better than the others, it will cause unnecessary jealousy among those around him, don't you think?
If she is my woman, she will not be treated in the same way as an ordinary scullery maid.
The fact that Kohli is now being washed by Odie, a senior servant, is a good sign.She is being treated with respect because of the fact that I held her.
If I were to use an analogy, I would say that the senior servants are managers, the junior servants are regular employees, and the scullery maid is an internship student who is job hunting. Kohliy has people who would normally be in a higher position help him bathe.
This will continue to happen. Kohary is recognized by the servants as my woman, not just a scullery maid.
If there is a difference in treatment even though we are the same scullery maid, there will be many people who will not feel good about working with us.
My authority will keep Kohliy from getting burned, but I can't extinguish what is smoldering in my chest.
I don't think Kohliy would enjoy working in such an awkward environment.
The mayor seems to be well aware of the mindset of those below him, ……. I would like to discuss this matter with Kohliy.
'You can adjust that area as you see fit. And, if there is any sign of pregnancy, give me a report immediately.
Roomon received the word of pregnancy with a complicated expression, but his face brightened when he heard that he would arrange a healer for Kohary.
He was so excited that he asked, “Will you be able to get a healer for me!”
I don't have to shout, they can hear me, Kohliy is my woman, I can't have her dying her.
It is difficult for a commoner, even a wealthy one, to get a healer because of pregnancy.
It is very costly to have a healer for a pregnant woman who may go into labor at any time. In the first place, many healers who deal with commoners have a noble philosophy to help people suffering from illness or injury. Money to such people.
Of course, there are a certain number of money-grubbing healers, and the wealthy commoners hire them by piling up gold coins.
The most popular job ranking for such healers is working exclusively for aristocrats.
Although the wages are low considering that they are employed by wealthy commoners, a stable position recognized by the nobles who rule the territory is not something that can be obtained with money.
On the continent of Eluo, unfair taxation and unfair arrests without grounds by those in power are not uncommon. The quickest and surest way to counteract this is to take up arms against the nobility.
The Quardenze family, a large noble family, naturally has a number of healers in its employ. Among them, there are several healers whom I can use as I please, so there is no problem in having at least one of them stationed in Nambonan City In some cases, I can borrow a few healers from the military as much as I like.
It is a mixture of public and private, but unlike Japan in my previous life, there are no people who would mess with me about this.
It seems that Roomon understood that I was serious about arranging for a healer.He exhaled with a relieved look on his face, then quickly turned thoughtful.
'…… Kohary is the mayor's woman, may I inform the others of this?'
Will she go around bragging that her pretty sister has become the concubine of a nobleman?
'What's the reason?'
'That's……'
With that, Roomon begins to explain the circumstances surrounding Kohary.
The merchant, who is more than 30 years older than me, was planning to marry Kohary for political reasons, but he seems still to be obsessed with her.
When he finds out about the fallen roomon and Kohary, he is said to be pressing him to give Kohary to him as his mistress in exchange for his support.
It is true that Kohary is a beautiful woman, so it is not hard to understand why they want her.
Roomon had been protecting Kohary in various ways, but he said he wanted to take this opportunity to break off the relationship once and for all.
So you're going to mention my name?
Yes,” Roomon said. Yes. There is no way he would dare to go against the mayor.
To defy me is to defy the Quardenze family. It is the shortest course to the decapitation in the city of Nambonan.
If Father Kohary, who was a great merchant, was such a cunning merchant who wanted a political marriage, he would immediately understand the recklessness of his actions.
I had a flash of inspiration, so I gave Roomon some instructions and a silver coin and allowed him to leave the room.
Please take good care of Kohliy.”
Just before leaving the room, Roomon put his hands on the floor and bowed deeply.
When she entered the room, she sounded as if she was hanging on to us, but this time she sounded sincerely relieved.
He must have been relieved to know that he would be surrounded by her as a concubine, and not just for fun.
As the roomon left, I picked up the materials that had been prepared for me.
I was prepared to see how much work had accumulated, but surprisingly there was not much.
Roomon seemed to have scrutinized them carefully, and most of them only needed to be checked and approved.
'I'd even like to have you as a civilian officer in the military.
I see.”
I talked to the civil officer of the Quordente military who came to check the documents, and he was very pleased with Roomon's reputation for him.
The civilian officer seems to want to recruit Roomon into the military, but since he seems to have awakened a love of Nambonan, it would be most efficient to have him continue working as a city employee.
Even though I had expected to be stuck in the mayor's office for the rest of the day, I got most of the work done at my desk a little later in the afternoon.
I had given Roomon a few silver coins for the brothel, but I felt like I could have given him an extra bonus for his work.
Thinking I was in a good time frame, I called Tesch over to prepare a letter. It was a letter from the slaver Dolan, describing Mother Eve.
Just to be sure, I read over all the letters we had exchanged about Mother Eve.
According to the letter, Dolan was scheduled to visit Nambonan City a little earlier than me. He told me that there is a slave trading company in Nambonan City that Dolan is very close to, and that he was going to deliver Mother Eve to me while he was bringing in the slaves.
The letter said I could call on her whenever I arrived, so I decided to call on her right away.
“Call this out.”
I indicated the letter and instructed Tesh.
“Yes, sir.
Tesch must have been expecting some sort of development when he was told to prepare the letter, because he had a chore boy waiting outside the mayor's office.
The boy who was doing chores did not even ask back after Tesch told him to go, but he bowed and walked down the corridor.
I picked up the letter describing Mother Eve's appearance on her and slowly read it over.
The letter was not overly ornate; it simply described her hair color, eye color, body shape, and so on.
It was as if Dolan was whispering to me, “This is such a wonderful product that it is impossible to convey in words.
Feeling thirsty, I told Tesh to get me another cup of tea and left the mayor's office.
