Episode 30: The Duke of Foulshees

"This is terrible..."

One of the knights shrugged when he saw someone intruded on his temper.

Some of the meat mass that my body dissolves in the drool and seems to be an organ floats over the mucus. Next to it was an eyeball fastening the prototype, and one of the soldiers watching held his mouth and disappeared into the shadow of the building.

"You don't have to worry about the effects of temper. The wizards of the castle have already confirmed it. We'll find and transport those who need medical attention."

Copy that.

When I see someone who has only melted for a moment, I distort my expression and then head to exploration. Though I feel painful, I can't apply my hands when I am in that condition.

Knights and soldiers gather one after another.

Their job is to search for the survivors and rebuild the broken king's capital. Reconstruction is irresistible if, at the very least, a broken boulevard cannot be used as it was.

"Excuse me."

The Adventurer Guild master spoke as he watched the state of the Wang capital with the building on the boulevard on his back.

"Something?

"I thought I'd just give you the reward first."

He brought me a reward for discipline.

Receive a leather bag containing gold coins sent out of the storage ring by Alliance Master.

"What about the other ladies?

"They would have gone home."

Correctly, he accompanied Ira back to the village where Sylvia's hometown was located.

The beast of the end appeared on a hill northeast of the king's capital. I also headed to reassure her that I was anxious because there was Sylvia's hometown on the other side of the hill.

I'm staying with Iris to gather information.

"Right. As a matter of fact, I have someone who has asked to see you."

"... I don't want to get into any trouble if I can"

"I don't want you to say that."

Adventurer guild is basically neutral.

But the Alliance Master also has a position. I may have to ask even orders that I can usually say no to.

For once, there is also an Illis beside it. In case that doesn't happen.

"Excuse me."

It was a large dining room near the main street that was guided.

There were more than a dozen officials stuffed inside the dining room, spreading a map of the King's Capital on the table for discussion.

He was checking the current situation and discussing future reconstruction.

"I've brought an adventurer who crusaded that demon"

You're so young.

It's the old man with the gray hair who says so. Even when I say old people, they are lively and have a vitality that doesn't make them feel old.

"Can I help you?

"I am now the Duke of Foulshees, the Chancellor."

Duke of Foulshees.

A successful coup, the brother of an earlier king who set his grandson on a new king.

"Apparently you know about me. I don't need a detailed introduction."

I do know the least bit of information.

"You know very well what I know."

"Aristocracy is most of my job with people. If you can't guess to some extent from the look on your face, you don't act like a duke or anything."

When you say that, the Duke looks at me like he shoots through.

I'm going to explore all sorts of questions from the next one.

"What I want to confirm is that I want you to tell me for what purpose Knight Dolph took such action"

"Don't you have any idea?

"I heard in the report that he was an honest and brilliant knight. My people seem to have a lot of trust in me, and I was going to raise the associate baron soon."

Dolph's ratings were decent.

From the bottom, however, the decision above just seemed slow and unbearable.

"To the best of my knowledge of what happened, let me tell you"

I told him what was caused by the battle between the Royal Army and the Imperial Army that took place near the border, and what damage was done by the beast of the end that was thus summoned.

"Let's get the facts straight away. Though there were all sorts of thoughts, and I waged war, I didn't envisage anything like this."

From now on the Duke will be busy.

but it wouldn't have been like being used without imitation like waging a war in the first place.

"I'm glad you knew."

"It's troublesome when there's a war going on and Krashel's in trouble, so one of the party members is from Krashel, so I was just paying a little attention and keeping an eye on him, so I could find out."

He decided that he had no involvement with the Imperial Army and had been monitoring the battlefield for private reasons.

I've done a lot of amazing things to do on my own, but only four of us have a track record of putting the war to an end. Common sense doesn't work.

"I was appreciating him because he was also a righteous knight."

"Then why didn't you reward me for getting promoted?

"We were to have the hands of many senior aristocrats in making the coup a success. For starters, there were various rebellions if not rewards from them. It's ironic. You have to gaze at the complexion of the people whose ancestral achievements and patterns are the only ones that are handled while keeping the anti-flag flickering against lineage. Because of that I made a mistake."

The look I said as I saw the sights around me was full of regrets.

"I was also dissatisfied with them. But he had a hand in an illegal organization called Rigolism, so he had to pay for his sins."

"Rigorous..."

"Something?

"It's a royal sin, after all."

I was asked the facts of the shock.

It was Reginald, the second prince, who had put together Rigolism until spring.

"Well, I heard he wasn't interested in power."

He publicly declares that he will support the first prince.

"That's an ostensible story. In fact, he had the strongest ambitions of the three brothers"

When I was a child, I believed and did not doubt that I was better than my brother, and that I would be better able to flourish my country if I succeeded to the throne.

However, his father, the king, declared that he would let the first prince inherit the throne early for fear that the country would be rough due to inheritance issues.

On that occasion the second prince also gave up.

That's what it looks like on the surface.

But in fact, he was using his authority as royalty to move secretly.

"One of them is Rigolism."

Rigolism, which has been inciting people's fears for a long time with end-of-life theories.

The second prince, who craved handkerchiefs as the third prince had used private soldiers as bandits, had taken over Rigolism and made it a private soldier.

"That kid got the territory and the money was in the luxury. However, it seems that the misplaced funds weren't enough to use their positions and pull them out."

The duke, who succeeded in the coup, learned of the fact that both the second and third princes were trying to satisfy their ambitions in an unlawful way and even got the evidence.

And the first prince was a person who couldn't even be described as outstanding in flattery. No, Wen Wu and I were excellent people, but I had a habit of wanting to get them when I found something rare. Sometimes, as royalty, it was a factor in oppressing the country's finances as much as it ever used its authority to take it away.

"I mean, are you glad the coup was a success?

"I want you to judge that by what you're about to do"

Failure has already led to devastating damage to the King's capital.

The Duke also suffered because he could no longer be bad about the princes.

"This one was really helpful. I would like to reward you in some way apart from the rewards from the Alliance"

"No, it's cool."

It is a title when it comes to rewards from those close to kings and kings.

There's no room for nobility to make you run a territory, and depending on the content, you're likely to get into trouble.

Enough as it is now.

No, if I can get it, it's where I want some kind of treasure, but I decide to turn down the reward itself because it could put a snake on it.

"Let the reform go better than that. Even if something like this happens again, I'm not going to give you a hand without pay."

"You're an adventurer."
