Chapter 99 – Müller – 1
There’s no way the roads in this world are paved roads.
In the case of Franz and other larger cities, it was done manually even for distribution, but other than that, of course, it is inconvenient.
– Knocked up!
He frowned at the comfort of riding in a wagon that was more uncomfortable than in the city, but he couldn’t help it. Huge mountains and forests visible through the window. At first, I took a look at it because it was a strange scenery, but there is a limit to it, it is boring.
“Leo. Please focus.”
“Oh sorry.”
Hearing Chloe’s words, I turned my head and looked at the contents in my hand again.
I can’t lift my head at Chloe’s words these days.
Look at it now
“Hmm… I guess I’ll have to check this once I arrive.”
“Right. I think we should check the tax rate again.”
Chloe and Zeke are also hard at work on the road to Müller. It was dark under the eyes of how hard he worked. As for the outfit, it was a new entry day, so it was neat, but the complexion was dead. I’m sorry to see you
“There is also a shortage of people. It’s hard to believe using Müller’s people.”
“Since Isabel said she was coming, it would be a little better then. It will be difficult though.”
Isabelle’s joining was announced in advance.
I said, but I can’t come right away. It was a sudden decision, and it was because they had to select the next guild leader.
Grace’s older sister is also gone now. Extremely dangerous early pregnancy. No, it differs from person to person, and there are many people who live normally because they do not know they are pregnant, so it is not that dangerous, but it was clear that it was a time to be careful after all.
Especially since the pregnant baby will be Franz’s owner in the future. It will probably be sooner when I go back to Franz than when I can meet my sister when she comes to Müller.
“What should I do right now?”
I stopped thinking about anything else and looked at the two people talking to each other. At my words, two horses stop and look at me.
“We need to secure the unit in charge of public order first.”
“We need to make sure the internal affairs, especially the inspection system.”
One as a knight and the other as a civil servant?
First, I looked at Chloe. Chloe caught my gaze and began to speak.
“The Iron Knights in charge of Müller’s armed forces have been disbanded, but the basic armed forces are still there.”
“Is this place managed by Grandpa Hans?”
At my words, Chloe shook her head.
“No matter how competent Hans is, there is a limit. The purpose of Hans, who is currently staying in Müller, is to monitor Müller’s armed uprising. With Müller’s current situation, it is not good to show any gaps in Franz’s person.”
Of course, I don’t think Müller is a fool to rebel, but sometimes people make stupid choices. It is undeniable when you think of numerous incidents and accidents in modern times.
Even though I know that if that happens, this time really can’t just be over.
“But. Because the surrounding lord might put in vain. So the armed forces are security forces?”
“Yeah. These are the castle guards.”
Guards are essential.
Even more so now that the war is over.
“There is a letter saying that Hans is also looking into the situation to some extent, but even Hans, it is difficult to get a detailed understanding of the foreign troops. So, what we need to do as soon as we go is to secure a security guard.”
“Policy is important.”
“If a key figure in Müller who is dissatisfied with Franz takes the position, it will be a headache. Safety is that important.”
If you’re the captain of the castle’s guard, you’ll feel like you’re at the bottom of your subordinates, but in fact, you’ve got a bit of a position. He’s got pretty high authority in case of an emergency.
“Then, after entering the castle, Chloe, do you intend to take over as the captain of the guard?”
“I thought about that case too, but I think it would be better for Hans to be in charge rather than me.”
“Uncle Hans should probably go back soon. Now Franz can’t afford to help Müller.”
“That means…”
“It’s not a big deal, but I can’t accept Franz’s touch forever.”
There is also the problem of succession of the older brother, and there is also the security of Grace’s older sister. Seeing Franz in a commotion, he can’t afford to reach out. No, but
“Not even Grandpa Hans can do that. Even so, if he sends someone lower than him, on the contrary, he can’t use it as it is.”
“Okay. Then inevitably I…”
“No, who was it? Müller’s daughter.”
I don’t remember the name because I’m not interested. It was definitely a tree, a tree or something.
“This is Triana Müller.”
“Oh yeah. Let him do it.”
“Are you all right?”
Okay and sleep
What’s the problem
At my words, Chloe put on a puzzled expression.
“The fact that Müller’s direct descendant is unofficially appointed as an important person…”
“Her purpose is to reclaim Müller’s name and Müller’s land.”
And although not a very good position for me to rule the land, his father allowed it. Alive to be in Müller.
Then you have to work
“There is a saying that those who do not work must not eat.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“Ah, yes. There is. I saw it in a book.”
“Ohh. Indeed.”
I left Zeke, who was strangely impressed by something, and continued talking.
“Anyone who wants to do bad things to his people is not worth saving, and if he works hard, that’s fine.”
“Is that so?”
It’s something that doesn’t look good on her face.
I guess they didn’t like hiring Müller. If you manage well below, I wonder if you need to touch it. Anyway, if there is a problem.
“You can just wipe it away.”
“Yeah?”
“If you wipe it, it will stop. What are we here to serve? If you don’t listen, I’ll have to kneel.”
It’s a purge, a purge.
“…”
“…”
As she looked at the paper, she said moderately, but she turned her head to look at me.
Chloe and Zeke both look at me strangely.
Why?
“No. Then the inspectors…”
“Zeke is in charge of that. After all, you don’t want to reject Müller’s people at all, do you?”
“It is.”
“You took charge of it, tightened it properly, released it, and trained it on its own.”
“All right.”
At my words, Zeke nodded his head.
“Hmm. Is Triana the only direct descendant of Müller now?”
“The direct line is yes. Tirson Müller’s family was then executed. Tyrus Müller has no children other than Triana Müller.”
“Hmm. What about your wife?”
“There is not. They say that when she gave birth to Triana Müller, she died.”
“Yes?”
Giving birth is dangerous.
In the case of Grace, professional personnel including Lena will move, but will it be okay?
“When Isabelle comes, I wonder if she will do everything from domestic affairs to force. Then you will be able to breathe.”
“All right. Then we will proceed like that.”
“Yeah.”
And.
“When I arrive, I will enter first.”
“Yeah?”
I opened my eyes wide at my words and smiled at the two people watching.
“Originally, you guys have to perform well.”
I also have the ability to be a bit dignified.
Write what you have.
* * *
“Miss. Ready.”
“Yes. Thanks.”
The hand of the maid arranges her beautiful hair like soft blue silk. Her father’s voice, who praised her for being like her mother, fades before she knows it.
Even though not a long time had passed, it felt like tears were flowing at the memories that were slowly being forgotten.
But you have to be patient.
Triana Müller thought so and looked out of her window.
The damage from the war was not that severe. The appearance of the city under the cloudy sky was similar to any other time.
But she couldn’t help the gloomy atmosphere throughout the city.
“Is it today?”
“Yes.”
The lady-in-waiting she has been with since she was little has her worried face.
During the war, Count Avon Franz ruled this castle. He was really scary, but he was so strict that I thought he was the most aristocratic of all the people I had ever seen. He is a noble aristocrat who is not only demanding of others, but is strict even to himself.
Aidan Franz, who ruled this land with him for a short time, also maintained such a strict part, unlike his soft-looking appearance.
So the chaos in this land was quickly put to rest, and peace was maintained, albeit only on the surface.
“What kind of person would you be… ? What, are you afraid of me?”
But the sudden return of Aidan Franz. And the righteous ruler of this land comes.
Leoric Franz.
The second son of the Franz family.
With little activity, he stays only in Franz Castle, and because of that, he is a nobleman who has been rumored to be numerous.
He could only be seen at events in the Bohrin family or in the capital, and it is said that even that disappeared immediately after a short period of time.
Is it because of the successor dispute, or is it a person who can only be revealed? Rumors are bound to grow.
The position of the second son of the Franz family was such a position.
Then he suddenly started acting.
I don’t know for sure because the cause was because of Müller or because I couldn’t find information properly because of the war…
“I’m sure you’re not a normal person.”
Her maid’s concerns were also understood.
And most of all, he pretends to be calm in front of her lady-in-waiting, but he is also worried about himself.
If it’s an easy person, wouldn’t he be able to seduce somehow? He thought so, but that Franz family couldn’t be easily defeated. And there’s no way the count would send someone like that.
Unsure of what would happen in the future, Triana Müller forcibly held back a sigh as she waited for her second son’s visit today.
– Creepy!
“Uh?”
Something.
There is something.
“Miss?”
The maid looked at her as if asking why, but before she could answer, Triana Müller hurriedly left her seat and came out onto the terrace.
What she sees is the usual peaceful scenery of Müller.
“There is something, something.”
Triana Müller’s senses were sharpened.
Her magically enhanced senses began to rule the city.
Both with the eyes and with the ears.
I checked out of this city, but I couldn’t feel anything.
The city looked peaceful under the clear sky.
“Miss? Could it be an illusion? I have nothing…”
“… Yes?”
At the maid’s words, Triana must have been mistaken, she thought.
But what is this creepy feeling?
Looking at the city from the terrace, Triana raised her head at her strange sensation.
“… How was the weather a while ago?”
I saw a clear sky. Her strange senses confuse her.
“Yeah? Uh, was it a bit cloudy? But it wasn’t cloudy enough to rain. Oh my goodness. Come to think of it, the weather has cleared?”
Has it cleared?
Triana Müller’s complexion turned pale.
Unlike the lady-in-waiting who looked around her, when Triana sensed something about her and looked up at the sky, it existed in her field of vision. She noticed its presence, but it was too late.
“Don’t allow it. Raise your head.”
That moment.
Everyone at Müller raised their heads.
Not by hearing the sound Permission came down to humans who could only bow their heads in front of this overwhelming presence. With that permission, I can raise my head. Put that dazzling light into your eyes.
“My name is Leoric Franz.”
There was a second sun in the sky.
The person whose golden brilliance blooms.
No, are you really human? Is that really human? The presence’s voice echoed through the city.
“I am the ruler of this land.”
Leoric of the Sun.
He appeared, looking down at the city reflected in his indifferent golden eyes.
Before God, a man kneels on his knees. Everyone fell on their knees to that rule.
As silence reigns over the city, Leoric Franz has arrived.
