Chapter 625
Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga Chapter 625
———
Among the knights I have met so far, meeting Visquente, who can be said to be one of the most intelligent and conceptual, was certainly welcome, but apart from that, it was completely unexpected, so I was dumbfounded.
I was concerned about the fact that he never found me by chance and came to visit me, but that was quickly resolved thanks to Visquenté, who cut it short and got right to the point.
“Thanks to our past relationship, not only was the work completed safely without any involvement with the traitors, but I was also able to fulfill my duties in the royal family. That is why I am meeting you right away today.”
“That… that’s something to celebrate.”
I wanted to congratulate them sincerely, but since the target was the royal family where the princess with a leech was coiled, it was too much to just hide her embarrassed expression. Unaware of my reaction, Visquente pulled out a scroll from his bosom and continued talking.
“It’s nothing else, the royal family has prepared a gift to congratulate Lord Ega for all the feats he has done for the kingdom, including his performance on the frontlines. , He said that it was time to focus on the war against the demon kings, so he decided to deliver the message in this form.”
“…which one?”
“It was a message from Princess Messina Vans da Etisiel.”
The first time I heard it, I wondered who it was, but I was able to remember that it was the name of the princess with a leech. It was a very likable act just by making all kinds of excuses and not coming forward to meet him in person, but when Visquente’s unfinished words continued and the ‘gift’ from the royal family was mentioned, his head froze.
“In the name of the royal family, Lord Ega will be bestowed with the mansion that once belonged to the traitor Envelde. The site and structure have been completely renovated and are Lord Ega’s private property from now on.”
I couldn’t even say the question, ‘Yes?’.
It wasn’t because I was suddenly given a mansion as a gift. Anyway, since I don’t have any financial regrets right now, I’m not particularly impressed, and I didn’t bother to ask for it, but looking at the work I’ve done so far, it’s nothing strange.
Even the intention is obvious when you see that the royal family will bear all the expenses for furniture and hiring servants. It is safe to say that this was a bribe to roll the dragon’s by-products inside the kingdom.
But that doesn’t matter either. I know you can’t force anything on me with just this. I was taken aback because, of course, I got goosebumps thinking about the conversation I had with Tie today. The timing is ridiculous.
“That… is it very sudden?”
“Haha, this was a topic that had been mentioned even before rumors about him becoming a dragon slayer were heard. Even completely unrelated articles even said in unison that the reward for Sir Ega was too insignificant, so it was a natural step.”
That minor reward was rather my taste.
I asked if it was a problem in the area where I could use my hands on something on the side of the Church of Thiet, but after confirming that it was just a coincidence, I, as if I was satisfied with everything, Bis handed over the house documents and the wooden box with the key and the official documents. I had to make an effort to force a smile on Quente.
I wanted to talk to Visquente, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, anyway, but Visquente politely refused and spoke up first, citing that he was carrying out official duties.
“Next time, I will look forward to meeting you in a place worthy of hearing your dance.”
Visquente, who suddenly became a knight in a fairy tale because he liked his job and smiled brightly, drew people’s attention while quickly driving away and disappearing. it happened
On one side of my heart, I wanted to just sell the mansion as it is… but it was clear that the Envelde mansion would be more comfortable than the current house, so I decided to accept the reality.
It didn’t matter until now, but the place where I am now is a normal residential area, so the more my name value goes up, the more I’m sure I’ll attract a lot of attention. I don’t want to be stressed by the invasion of privacy that comes from it, so the Envelde mansion would be a great alternative.
As soon as I thought that perhaps the royal family might not have recklessly tried to attack me with gifts, but gave me an appropriate gift after such a calculation, I sighed terribly, so I decided to go home without thinking about anything for now.
◈
Of course, what followed after arriving home was a subtle battle of nerves between me, who had to spend all his arrogance even though I suddenly had another house, and Tie, whose eyes were shining after hearing my story.
From the beginning, Thie made my concerns a reality by expressing his ambition to fill the servants to manage the mansion with members of the cult.
‘Is it okay to proceed on my own like that without any consultation with the church?’ I didn’t even question it. I will do it because it is possible. In the end, all I could do was to go into space defense, arguing that since I was not living alone, I should listen to Asillie’s opinion.
“Okay. Then let’s find a way to do it separately. But since we’re going to have to move, how about enlisting the help of our brothers around us? There will be roughly twenty of them.”
“…Weren’t there five or six people who helped catch the thief? Why are there so many people?”
Thier, who hadn’t expected my answer since he hadn’t mentioned that he had been talked to by Esmuer, raised his eyebrows as if he was a little surprised, but then nodded his head and answered calmly, even if he understood something himself.
“They are the main force of the denomination. I wish the brothers and sisters of all denominations had that kind of ability, but unfortunately they can’t, so most of them play an auxiliary role for support. The brothers I just mentioned are on that side.”
“Gathering information on the site or supplying supplies?”
“Exactly. They are no different from ordinary people, they can naturally help with these things, they are reliable, and they don’t beat the price. I don’t think there’s any reason to refuse.”
I was wondering where they would get information comparable to that of Zikmel, but that was the structure. They said that the royal family would bear the money anyway, so they weren’t worried about labor costs, but since the things they moved were goods, it was hard to ignore the premise that they could be trusted.
In a way, it was a natural step for me to decide to hire the church’s auxiliary troops after falling for Thiet’s flattery. After I left the house for a while while I was disabling Este and the security device, within a few minutes, I returned with the people of the Church of Ethics and a wagon.
“Are you going to sell this house?”
“Not yet. I haven’t even told my sister, but I’ll be embarrassed if I come home before I tell her that I’m moving to the mansion.”
‘I came out on vacation from the military and my family moved.’ It was not urgent enough to create the same situation, so we decided to leave the existing furniture and move with only the by-products of the dragon.
It took less than an hour to load all the by-products, unlike the thought that it would take at least three hours because it was a lot of luggage. Those who proved that they could not be the main force of the church, but were far from ordinary people who had not trained, quietly climbed into the carriage as if they had promised and set off without asking for directions.
People who saw the by-products of the dragon, which had received all the attention so far, were loaded onto the carriage, tried to follow and watch it as if they were watching a circus, with various reactions, but confirmed that the carriage was gradually approaching the upper class area. And in an instant, it came off.
But that doesn’t mean that those watching us have completely disappeared. Aristocrats are also human after all, so they couldn’t hide their curiosity when several wagons entered. Did he go on for another ten minutes past the aristocrats who gave him a different look than the common people?
(Old) Envelde Mansion, which has completely returned to its appearance before I invaded, greeted us.
“I didn’t expect to come here again…”
Thinking of Envelde, who would be sobbing in hell at the fact that the man who ruined all his plans and took his own life swallowed the mansion, made me feel better.
I lightly got off the wagon, opened the lock with the key in the wooden box given to me by Visquente, and pushed the door open. And the wagons lined up through the road. Leaving those carriages behind, Thiet jumped down and came closer to me, lightly brushing off her skirt.
“The mansion has a fairly large basement storage, so I’ll store the by-products there. It’s still not safe enough as it’s drawing a lot of attention, but at least it’s safer than just spreading it out in the yard. But…”
That’s right, he was originally a spy planted by Envelde. I was almost surprised to find out if there was a way to figure out the structure of the mansion that I hadn’t even entered yet.
But apart from that, it bothered me that she slurred her words.
“but?”
“…But still, it’s unreasonable to just trust the lock and leave it unattended. That’s why… I’d like to ask the brothers and sisters you know to guard for a while. What do you think?”
“guard?”
“Yes. Since it is a nobleman’s mansion, there are many rooms, and the furniture will be refurbished. Of course, since there are only six of us, it will be more comfortable if other brothers and sisters stay with us.”
……Aren’t you trying to say that you can’t go out later while drawing the big picture?
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of insisting that I don’t want to leave after I settle down with this.”
Tea, who burst out with a rare smile, as if she had read my thoughtful gaze, confidently continued her explanation.
“We just want to show how helpful we are in most ways.”
If you give me a chance, I’ll show you that powerful people don’t hire people from the church until they follow an unreasonable policy.
Tie’s expression, which seemed similar to usual, coexisted with pride that could not be hidden.
