Episode 89. Marquis Garion (4)

I am embarrassed to hear that Elsodion is a hot guy.

My face went from white to red.

It is natural to be angry at the rudeness of the Thunder-naked Count who does not even know the fundamentals.

Moreover, the site is a marquee castle.

If he had been a noble other than the Master, he could have lost his life.

But I am a master noble appointed by the emperor.

“The author is a vicious bastard who completely destroyed the chivalry of the Kaishar Empire. “I will personally hand it over to the Marquis!”

“Would you like to… … . “Then please go inside.”

Elsodion made a shocked expression at the cold words of blunt refusal.

“Let the soldiers rest.”

“Chuung!”

“Provide them with food and shelter.”

“Chuuung!”

In accordance with the principles that must be followed when visiting other territories, the soldiers remained in the outer castle.

Elsodion took care of it.

“Please go.”

I nodded and followed.

I entered the inner city with Lord Perorin and Pedron, who was called a criminal who destroyed chivalry.

My knights and soldiers squared their shoulders proudly.

This is the first time in my life I will experience this feeling.

The size of the resistance is amazing.

More than a thousand villages are clustered within the outer walls.

You can see stores and other large buildings one after another.

There are a lot of people coming and going.

It was immediately compared to my territory.

Marquis is something to be envied.

I quenched my appetite.

Someday, I want to expand my territory this much.

“Chuuuuung!”

I passed through a solid inner door.

Pedron’s eyes are empty, as if he has given up on everything.

Lord Elsodion remained silent and guided our group.

In silence that was strange to express, we climbed up to the third floor of the inner building.

Two knights standing in front of the door.

smart.

“Father, I have brought you Count Frauche de Raisel.”

“Come in.”

When permission was given, Elsodion opened the door.

Lord Perorin went inside.

Enter the office without interruption.

A sharp-looking Marquis in his late 50s is sitting in a chair.

When we entered, he stood up with a happy expression on his face.

“Count Frausch, nice to meet you! I saw it briefly at the Lion’s Palace, and seeing it again here… … . “I am Rodel de Garion, lord of Garion territory.”

The Marquis welcomed him, putting meaning into his words.

It would be surprising to learn that a mere knight school trainee became a spirit master count.

The reason why my ears felt itchy for a while.

In the empire, if you don’t know about me, you are a spy.

The Marquis is smiling.

He looks like a raccoon who has been in central politics for decades.

I smiled.

There is no need to impress the owner of the marquis’ estate, which is overflowing with wealth.

I’m not that tight-lipped guy.

In order to develop your territory, you need to be visible to centrally active nobles.

“I formally greet you. It is called Frauche de Raisel. It is an honor to meet the Marquis, whose reputation is prominent in the empire. “The knight accompanying me is Sir Perorin, Baronet of my estate.”

“I heard that there is a loyal knight who remains in Pnaini and maintains the territory. “Nice to meet you.”

“It is an honour. “His Excellency the Marquis of Rodel.”

The title “Excellent” was used for great nobles above marquis.

The greeting ended just like that.

The problem is that one man is standing blankly.

An awkward atmosphere lingered around Pedron, whose face was as black as his face.

The sound of the Marquis and Lord rolling their heads was heard.

“Count Frausch.”

“Yes, Marquis.”

“Did you come all the way here by arresting the Marquis’ knight for a fish-related matter?”

This is the moment when the real battle begins.

The Marquis asked, looking displeased.

From now on, you need to be alert.

Like an old raccoon, the Marquis’ pockets must be thoroughly emptied.

The Marquis took the bait.

“The man named Pedron failed to protect the imperial chivalry and disgraced it.”

“Eat it?”

“You dared to severely insult the knight Sir Perorin in front of me, my lord.”

“Insult… … .”

The Marquis asked cautiously.

I still don’t know the exact details.

“They mocked that the fiefdom would soon fail and be absorbed into the marquis fiefdom. How can a mere knight carelessly discuss the territory bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor! And that in front of me, the lord!”

“!!!”

I put strength into my voice.

The Marquis and Lord were surprised to hear the story.

To nobles, territory is more precious than life.

Moreover, I am recognized as a Spirit Master before the Emperor.

An incident that occurred because the Marquis Knight was unaware of the circumstances.

“Well, that’s not it… … .”

Pedron stuttered, his mouth stiff.

It’s an excuse.

All you have to do is flutter with live fish bait.

“I couldn’t stand the situation and I told the man named Pedro to apologize politely. It’s not imperial chivalry. However, the author claimed that he had insulted the Grand Marquis’ knight and challenged him to a duel.”

“… … .”

As the story progressed to this point, the Marquis and Lord’s faces hardened.

In the empire, chivalry was revered more than God.

But it touched on both the fiefdom issue and chivalry?

The answer has been decided.

“I had no choice but to duel. The winner was me. And, with the power of the count bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor, he attempted to atone for the crime by death… … . “I thought it would be disrespectful to the Marquis if I handled the Marquis’ article on my own.”

I added a few more peppery seasonings of truth and lies.

It’s a rule in this town that if you lose a duel, you keep your mouth shut.

Pedron’s excuses are meaningless now.

You can’t pick up the words you spit out.

“I will guarantee with this sword bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor that what I just said is not a single lie.”

Even the emperor sold it.

Confirmed kill.

A knight is like a lord.

If a knight’s honor is tarnished, it will also have repercussions for his lord.

That’s why we don’t select articles carelessly.

“So I brought you here to suggest punishment to the Marquis.”

“hmm… … .”

The Marquis frowned and groaned.

I realized that the size of the case was bigger than I thought.

There, I was attacked first.

An issue of noble honor that even a marquis cannot avoid.

“Knight Pedron, if what I said is even an inch false, please explain.”

I urged Pedron and shot him.

Pretending to be angry, he fired at him the intangible deadly force that the Master can emit.

“Bae, the Count said… you’re right… … .”

Pedron stuttered, averting his eyes and lowering his head.

A reward for what one has done.

“… … .”

When Pedron agreed, the Marquis kept his mouth shut.

“crazy!”

Elsodion, who was still a young son, glared at Pedron as if he were going to kill him.

The knight’s mistake tarnished the honor of the marquis.

If this fact becomes known to the imperial capital, it will be criticized by the nobles.

Furthermore, if it is reported to the Imperial Knight Inspection Unit, an organization directly under the emperor that protects the chivalry of the empire, the repercussions will be enormous.

You may be severely questioned by the emperor.

“… Count, please forgive my knight’s mistake. This is a mistake made by beginner knights who do not yet know what chivalry is. “I feel sorry.”

The Marquis apologized to me first.

As expected, he is an experienced raccoon.

If a great noble apologizes, other nobles will be happy and accept it.

But not me.

If you step away from here, you will receive nursing care equipment certification.

When the offensive initiative exists, we must push further.

“Marquis, please stop apologizing. “I don’t know what to do with myself.”

First of all, I responded to the apology.

“Thank you for accepting my apology… … .”

“It was the arbitrary action of an ungrateful knight, not the Marquis. “I will transfer this to the imperial knight inspection team and hold the author alone responsible for failing to uphold chivalry.”

“!!!”

The Marquis’ face changed into a shit-chewing expression.

Lord Elsodion’s face also turned red as if he was excited.

But they couldn’t interrogate me.

If it were another noble, they would try to suppress it with authority and power, but… I am a spirit master.

Dealing with a marquis without a master is not difficult.

“Count Frausch… … . I will hold that knight separately responsible for failing to uphold chivalry. In addition, I plan to separately compensate you for tarnishing the count’s honor. Please forgive me now… … . Still, he was a man who was loyal to the territory, so we can’t help but take that into account. “Please consider my respect for the knights under his command.”

Guuuut!

The Marquis declared surrender, discussing compensation issues and even losing face.

It was going to be like this a long time ago. Why are you trying to make it up with just a few words?

So now is the time to step away.

Continuing the attack any longer will backfire.

“Since the Marquis said so much, I will end my anger. However, please make sure that I am re-educated in the chivalry of the Kaishar Empire!”

Expressed approval and reprimand.

But I smiled inwardly.

A splendid feat of surpassing the two-hit single hit.

From now on, marquis knights will keep quiet about my territory.

There will be rumors that if you touch it, you will be ruined.

For that, you will receive compensation for saving the Marquis’ face.

“Thank you, Count. “I will remember your grace today.”

They say it is a favor, but they are saying they will record it in the case record.

Don’t be fooled by obvious statements.

“Elsodion, imprison the author in the dungeon. “I will personally educate you again about the chivalry of the Kaishar Empire!”

The Marquis spat out words as cold as a chill.

It won’t be a long time since I’ve been in an embarrassing situation like this.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man named Pedron was dragged away by Elsodion.

It looks like a cow being dragged to a slaughterhouse.

There is no feeling of pity even once.

The Marquis looks at me.

The cold gaze of the Marquis who came to his senses.

His mouth opened slowly.

and.

“But what is the Count’s purpose in coming to my domain?”

Full-scale visitation talks began.
