Chapter 101 – Müller – 3
The huge conference room was full of people.
Because almost all the people in charge of the castle’s work are in.
“Next, the person in charge of tax rate management… Tunnel. Come out.”
“Hmm.
A man comes up with a nervous expression.
The atmosphere is quite different.
Franz’s face is relaxed, while Müller’s is stiff with tension. Zeke, as always, has a strong expression on his face.
I sat on the highest seat and watched them leisurely.
“For that part, the original way is like this.”
“So that means it’s inefficient. If the budget was distributed to this extent in the first place, there should be that kind of performance, but there is not even a result written in the report on a subject that has no such achievement?”
Zeke is doing a lot of shit.
Yes. Even if you win, you’re an idiot, even if you lose, you’re an idiot, you become an idiot who wins, and it’s even better if it’s our team.
The reports that Zeke had figured out in advance were added, and the reports compiled by the vassals who had been here in a very short time were being squeezed together very perfectly. Müller’s middle-aged man is breaking into a cold sweat and making excuses somehow, but I can tell that it’s nonsense even when I hear it.
It’s wrong to do something in the middle, but even if you do it in moderation in the first place, I don’t touch it if it only results in it. It’s fine if you don’t cross the line, but if you don’t have that achievement itself, the words are different.
And I don’t like the excuses that I don’t know if I do well. Yes. He’s fired
– Tuk-tuk.
When I touched a name on the list of people attending the meeting, Chloe, who was waiting next to me, wrote the name on a piece of paper.
“Hey, over there! So, how did this happen!”
“Ah, that’s all right. Please write a report again next time. Next, Tzen from the land-related department.”
“He-here he is.”
Then, the person from Muller, who was watching me, lowered his head with a pale face. They probably know what this means.
The paper Chloe is writing on can be said to be a killing book to them. The man pointed out by Zeke backed away with a pale face, and the man called next came up with a dark complexion in such an atmosphere. Everyone stared at me as if stabbing me in such an atmosphere.
“…”
Soft brown hair. Purple eyes. A beautiful woman with a mysterious aura is sitting in the front seat of the Müller people.
When our eyes met, I flinched and trembled slightly, but soon looked at me again. It’s not a sin to stare at people’s faces. I’m leaving it alone, but the gaze is quite intense.
Triana Müller.
Müller’s only direct descendant.
What he wants is to be able to maintain the Müller clan and to get this land back in the very distant future.
I admit the courage to say a very bold wish in front of my father, but that’s it and this is this. How to use her While she was thinking about that, the meeting was already over. The long meeting, which took four hours for the beggar, ended with Zeke’s solo performance until the end.
“I want more efficient, waste-free work like the one I mentioned earlier. And please post a report on the necessary expenses so far.”
“That, like that!”
“Don’t you know how much that is?!”
“If you organize from the usual, it won’t take too long. Then.”
No, it’s difficult.
I’m sure Zeke isn’t really expecting it, but hey. If my boss did that, he would immediately resign.
Zeke’s appearance is still the same when he turns around, but you can feel the joy in his eyes. Really, he’s also a pervert.
“Kuhm… !”
“Her… ! How…”
In the conference room after the bout of Zeke was swept away, there were various people with depressed expressions or frowns as if they couldn’t stand it.
I knocked on the table to focus their attention.
-Widely!
I was just trying to focus my attention. Local TV suddenly turned off.
The face looking at me is like seeing a ghost. Isn’t it too much?
“I think the story is roughly over.”
Only my voice echoed in the wide meeting room.
“Next time, of course, you will prepare better than what you prepared today, right?”
“… Great.”
Everyone is busy avoiding my gaze.
“Ah, but with so many people, the meeting room is really small.”
I laughed when I saw people saying what I was saying.
“Still, I don’t think there’s any need to renovate the meeting room because I don’t think I’ll see half of the people here next time.”
“That’s right.”
Chloe responded calmly to my words.
Of course, the atmosphere in the conference room became chilly.
I sipped tea leisurely while watching them turn pale. It’s a pity that the cars in front of them don’t look like they’ve taken a sip. How much is all that Or drink something cheap like me. I took a sip while savoring the sweet scent that tickled my nose.
“Everyone will know.”
The sweet taste tickles your mouth. The only downside is that it makes your mouth feel dry, but this is the best way to enjoy the sweet taste. It’s enough to eat something like a mint later.
“When a call comes from the capital, Müller officially becomes a dependent of Franz.”
Triana Müller’s gaze at me intensified.
It’s not even hostility, but what is it? The emotions in your gaze. That’s not good news for her, as she wants to carry on her name of Müller anyway.
“Of course, as the saying goes, new wine must be poured into a new glass.”
Do you really have that word?
There may be similar words. Because the whole world is the same
As if guessing what would come next, the faces of the people here began to harden.
“Shouldn’t we throw away the old name Müller and change to a new name?”
At my words, the normally quiet atmosphere in the meeting room turned violent.
Nobility doesn’t just mean a lot of magical power and a strong clan. They are the people who have been in the land for a long time, ruling the land as if the Franz clan had had the Golden Lion faith since ancient times.
Erase the names of those people and change them to new ones.
It is not wrong to say that it is a period of national annihilation, and in fact, many places follow this method. It is part of the process of accepting a new ruler.
However, if there is one thing that is different from our country, it is that it is rare, but it is not uncommon to have someone else’s territory as a dependent territory like this time. In any case, they are people of the same kingdom, and it is not that the identity itself for one nation, such as language and culture, is eliminated.
It doesn’t have much of an impact on the common people. But those who have it are different.
“… Leoric Franz.”
“What?”
Pure white hair. Deep wrinkles. An old gentleman of quite an age opened his mouth. Unlike the others throughout the meeting, he kept a strict face and watched the meeting. As far as I know, he was the butler who managed this castle.
“The name Müller is not only the Viscount Müller family, but also the name that has been used to refer to this land since ancient times.”
“Therefore?”
Light flickers in golden eyes.
The sun is unique and lofty. He said that just by generating magical energy, the pressure that those who receive that gaze are no joke. I don’t know.
Anyway, I liked the way he maintained an upright posture while breaking out in a cold sweat at my gaze. In any case, castle management will continue to be essential, and it is difficult to find someone with experience like that person in this day and age. It’s not like there’s an internet job site.
“Since the very past, the name Muller, which means a shield that protects against aggression from the west, has been lived with pride not only by us, but also by many territories. Please. I would like to ask for the mercy of Leoric Franz so that at least the name Müller can be maintained.”
He got up from his seat and came forward, knelt down on his knees and bowed his head. It’s not nice to see him looking older than Hans, but since he’s a nobleman, I had to look at him coldly.
I looked at him and looked around.
Some people were tearing up at his appearance, while others shyly turned their heads away from him. Triana Müller closed her eyes with her fists clenched.
“… Hmm.”
His figure came into view again.
Of all the Müllers here, I’m sure I’ve been with the Müller name the longest. He was said to have been neutral from what he had heard, but that he was quite plagued by the long-naming wave because of it. Still, he is stepping out for his family.
There are people like this.
Various crimes, such as cheating and committing murder, also occurred steadily. It is our role to reduce it to a minimum.
Nevertheless, there are those who follow emotions rather than practicality like this person. Even though he knew he would die at this rate, he was like a loyalist giving sharp advice to a king whose eyes and ears were blocked by treacherous subjects. Even if he is hated by the king because of it. A person who steps forward like that even though he knows that the end is not good.
Such people deserve respect.
That is the education he received from his father, and it is the honor the Franz clan seeks.
“Heh.”
My laughter echoed through the meeting room.
“We’ll talk about this again later.”
“… Thank you for your mercy. Leoric Franz.”
“I don’t like that. Call me Lord.”
At my words, he raised his head slightly and met my gaze. The old man’s brown eyes were clearer than those of most young people.
“Thank you. Lord.”
“The meeting ends with this. Next time I organize it again, I’ll expect it to be better than now.”
I said that and got up from my seat. While Franz, including Chloe, who followed me, left the meeting room, he did not move.
