To the abominable gaze, what I return is indifferent.

I'm not the only one with an attitude to the stone on the side of the road, but that doesn't seem to matter, and Baron Ballas was stripping me of his hostility.

But unfortunately, this one is not weak enough to be frightened of peeling hostility.

Mental is tofu, but there are some tofu in the world that can't be broken if tied with rough rope.

There are two sets of four testimonies placed on Mahogany's low table. Two sets of four are for me to hold one after the settlement is made and the other.

The Duke gave me two of them.

"Of the testimonies deposited from the guild chief Macabelli, I will first return the belongings of the Phoenix Butterfly"

"Yes."

I attached this to our backstory and went to the materials.

Passing the testimony to Dr. Romanov, who offered to keep it, he was offered one of the remaining Baron Ballas' testimonies.

The last one is in the hands of the Duke.

Gilli and Baron Ballas bit their teeth and opened their fleshy lips.

"Brother!? Why are you giving me your testimony? That bet is void! This kid has planted something in the air ratio!

The one who digs his own grave is everywhere, and the Duke and Eagle threw a frightened gaze at Baron Ballas.

And with several sighs, the Duke spits out his words.

"... I can assure you why something was planted in the air ratio. The ritual was established, and I assume the curse was activated because your hostages falsely stated that they had been revamped. Or are you trying to tell me that the curse can't be triggered because the air ratio wasn't established?

"With that said, after the game, I said, 'I told you not to swallow the laurel leaves!' There are rumors that I screamed... but that was true, or something?

"Oh, that's..."

To the words of Mr. Eagles, which followed the Duke, the Baron says.

The official way in the universe of Uchi ratios had told the Baron family as a procedure at the time they decided to perform the ritual.

"The ritual was completed by swallowing laurel leaves," but they were instructed not to swallow it.

But I guess I didn't realize that was a trap either.

"... even if you didn't swallow the laurel leaves, the air ratio was established at that time."

When we make the seed, the only thing that was once ordained official is that humans deliberately annoyed us, and we originally took the oath before the flames to witness and say, "What if this is what it is, what if it isn't, this isn't what it is," and swear not to state lies or lies. You just have to have one person present.

If I were to say in that space ratio, I would be "cursed if the alteration was false, if the alteration was true, I would not be cursed", and it is established by replying in front of Mr. Maccabelli, "Yes" and "OH", when asked if I could swear by God that I sincerely regret it.

The need for more than a thousand sitters and drinking laurel leaves is just a posterior. In other words, there is no involvement in the failure of the ritual.

"If the three Cyclops ate laurels, it was also possible that Baron Ballas had been deceived by the three of them… but if the Baron himself had instructed you not to swallow laurel leaves… it would be more serious. I'm sorry this has to be more than just a criminal handover."

"This is a clear hostile attack from the Baron Ballas family against the Count Kikunai family."

It cannot be possible, given the sequence of nobility, for the Baron family to take hostile action against the Count family.

Four eyes, including mine, stare hard at Baron Ballas.

Baron Ballas, by contrast, turned his face from red to blue, while turning to the Duke for help.

A sloppy, waterfall-like sweat tells the story of his impatience.

but the Duke's gaze is cold, and he spins his words without a particular island.

"What are you going to do?

"How about...?

"You lost by betting them the territory, mansion and tax collection rights of the Baron family. You figure out what that means?

Cow frog, silence.

And a wrinkle carved between the duke's eyebrows, and a tired face turned towards me.

"As far as I'm concerned, you will promptly hand over the criminal, and later it will be in the deposition, and if you will promptly hand over the mansion/territory, or pay the equivalent of the value of the assets that the mansion/territory has, that's fine?

"Well, then they can do whatever they want, and I'll pay! That would be good!?

Yeah, I don't mind. But.

"How am I supposed to spend my money?

"That stuff, if you take it away from the civilians with more taxes......!

"I didn't say I'd give you back your tax rights."

Quietly, Baron Ballas opens his eyes.

The only thing I said I would give back to the money and consideration was the mansion and the territory, and I haven't touched on the right to tax.

You realize the intent, Dr. Romanov nods.

"Betting is a personal debt increase, but the people don't stand up."

"Yes, this is not an asset of the kind that the Baron would return to the inhabitants for personal reasons, even if it was also profitable. Why do people have to be taxed heavily for something like that?"

"What did you fall asleep for!? The inhabitants exist for the Baron family! They are only kept by those of us with our honorable blood! Isn't it our mission to serve our honorable blood bearers!

"... I'm afraid, my lord, that this Baron Ballas statement is also the general thrust of the Duke's house?

"... I'd like you to decide you didn't listen to my brother..."

The Duke glances at Mr. Eagles.

Eagle's eyes, sitting next to the Duke's, are terribly scary.

If I had a notary and I said this, maybe the Baron's house wouldn't work anymore.

On the contrary, the Duke's house could also be involved.

This is out-of-count.

Shaking my head loosely, I switched the negotiator to the Duke.

"My lord, I would like to return the Baron's right to tax to the Duke's house. I had my right to collect taxes included in my testimony to prevent heavy taxes from being imposed on the residents because of the baron's liabilities."

"The eyes of Lord Phoenix are certain. Thank you for your offer. For the rest, let me pay you the equivalent of what my stupid brother would pay you."

"No, the loan is to be returned by the person who owed it. If I could ask His Excellency to supervise and install the Baron..."

"Then how many years will it take... you may not be able to pay for it for the rest of your life..."

"I'd like you to have something other than money."

As far as Baron Ballas was concerned, he wore a collar because it meant going down under the supervision of the Duke's family.

Now the Dukes will take responsibility and crush him before he does anything.

After that, I need you to be behind me when I take power away from my parents, and then install an expansion of the sales route for Effet Papillon.

It's from here that we have to stay in the mood.
