Luceric is the spokesperson and agent of the House of Nobles..
However, that doesn't mean he is a very great person. He thought of himself as a walking letter, and the nobles of the House of Lords also thought of him that way..
What sets it apart from ordinary spokespeople is that it is a very high-class letter that knows how to satisfy both the sender and the recipient. And the only thing that mattered was that it was a letter with a designated owner that only one person could write..
It may not be a big deal, but Luceric took pride in his job and worked diligently based on that fact..
"Looks like the opportunity has arrived, so invite me over.."
Until just now.
"If I have done something wrong, please give me just one chance, Sir.."
A letter only conveys content and does not think about it. No matter what the content is, go confidently and convey the nobleman’s words without any personal opinion. Even if you have personal complaints and regrets about the contents of the letter, you do not show them outwardly..
But suicide was a slightly different story. Even if the person who uttered those words was a powerful figure in the House of Nobles and one of only two dukes in the kingdom..
"What kind of sad sound is this? I am consistently satisfied with your work. Weigh you against some idiots who eat the noble house and I will choose you without hesitation.."
The old man with the monocle turned from looking out the window and said with a surprised smile, but Luceric had no choice but to think about his true intentions one more time..
Duke of Lesrom Zrasil Tsin Rawinera.
70Even at this young age, he is like an old tree and the core of a noble family whose upright posture shows no traces of time, and the line between jokes and seriousness has always been vague..
"Don't be so guarded. Because we are friends with whom we can communicate. Don't you know why he's causing such a fuss??"
"I'm afraid because I know it so well."
Certainly the Margrave Lévien was in temporary detention..
Even if she really did plot treason, it is an insult to call her a criminal now that the trial has not been held and the evidence is unclear. This is a fact known not only to knights but also to those who assist them in aristocratic society. That such insults can be followed by stabbings..
7It is true that the House of Nobles had nothing to say about this unprecedented situation that arose when awareness of such issues was drastically lowered among the private soldiers, whose quality had inevitably deteriorated due to years of war..
As he was the spokesperson and agent, I was not afraid of the mess it would cause. Such situations have always existed during the ten years that Luceric served as Duke Lesrom's spokesman..
The key point was that the other party used that as an excuse to cut off the heads of 20 people without any hesitation. Even if it was just and legal, the sword was drawn against the entire noble family..
He's not the main character of some fairy tale, but how many of the knights currently in the capital could be like that? It was just a guess on his part, but he could probably count it on one hand..
Duke Lethrom, who could clearly read Luceric's anxiety with just a few words, burst into laughter and answered confidently..
"Don't worry. Even after killing so many people, they haven't even gotten to the second floor yet? It was because they were afraid of guilt if they went up, and that Margrave Levien might be falsely accused of trying to escape. He never wields his sword without excuse. And you can bring him back safely.."
Duke Lesrom does not speak as if he knows something he does not know. Therefore, Luceric believed that what he was certain about could be said to be the result of inference based on certain information..
Although there was no way to know where that information came from and why people were paying such attention to him, whom few people knew before visiting the empire, such trivial details were of no concern to Luceric..
"Then I'll bring you."
Because he was a letter after all.
◈
If you think about it, on Earth we lived with a cigarette in our mouths..
I smoked cigarettes that were easily available at convenience stores, but what I liked to smoke was leaf cigarettes, which there were not many places that sold them. Although management is cumbersome, nicotine works the same way, and the taste and scent are incomparable, so it was not a waste of effort to deliberately sell my feet..
It may be bad for your body, but it was good because it felt like you would die from stress before you died from lung cancer. Because I was able to completely immerse myself in the feeling of relaxation during the time I smoked..
Maybe it's because I still have those memories, but I really feel like smoking now..
That means you're stressed..
It's good to run amok legally, but I never thought ignorance would be so rampant..
"It's a really boring world again."
There are at least 20 people. There were 20 people who didn't know the law, so they started swinging spears and died. At least this is what it looks like, excluding the prison guards I killed first. Ragnis, who is up there, is probably going crazy wondering what the fuss is all about..
If you go up without following the proper procedures, you can't steal it, it's treason, and it's obvious that they'll take anything, so there's nothing you can do other than wait below and pray that someone who can communicate with you will come this time..
I thought about yelling and talking, but since there are so many onlookers right now, I thought it would be better to hold off to maintain Ragnis' dignity..
"Get out of the way! It's a noble house! It's not a spectacle so everyone get out of the way!"
In a world where even public executions are treated as entertainment, wouldn't 24 headless corpses actually be a great spectacle? I saw it coming from afar, so I thought I should prepare quickly, and while I was loosening my wrists and ankles, a man who looked like an office worker and the only one without armor appeared, accompanied by about 10 private soldiers..
"My name is Luceric, and I am one of the representatives and agents of the House of Nobles. Lord Eldmia Egar. Can you put away your sword for a moment and talk to me??"
The man with neatly trimmed dark auburn hair had no hesitation in greeting me politely, even though he looked to be middle-aged..
I was disgusted by the one-sided mass production of headless corpses, so I felt grateful that they came when I wanted to stop, and asked the same question as I had done to the 20 idiots..
"do you know the law?"
This question is already the 5th time. The man answered by nodding his head, as if my earnest prayer that he would understand this time had some effect..
"of course. You have been informed of the situation, and you know that your actions were justified. On behalf of the House of Nobles, I apologized for the rudeness of the soldiers and received instructions to approve a visit with Margrave Levien, who is temporarily detained.."
When he made a gesture with his answer, the 10 soldiers focused on defeating the people around them, showing a ritual that was clearly different from the guys they had cut down so far..
"And apart from that, I would also like to tell you that I would like to invite you to the House of Nobles.."
"Isn’t an invitation a very inappropriate word in this situation, Sir Luceric??"
Knowing what the Noble House was going to do while this shit was going on, I crawled in there....
"Just call me Luceric. As you said, the invitation was requested by His Excellency, Duke Lesrom Zrasil Csin Rawinera. I hope you believe that no one can harm you and that He has no intention of harming the Ega Sutra.."
...I have no choice but to go.
"Duke...Your Excellency?"
"yes. You said it yourself. Of course, this is a story after I have finished my business with Margrave Levien.."
I clearly remember that there are only two dukes in the kingdom, one old and one younger, and one of them is looking for me. I'm such a great guy too.
Well, I also met the imperial princess, but is the duke such a big deal?.
"Of course."
Since he was just waiting for a formality, he wiped the blood on the sword with the corpse's clothes, put it in its sheath, and went up to the second floor. From behind, I can faintly hear the sound of a man named Luceric giving orders to his soldiers and organizing the surroundings, so it seems like he didn't have any other business at the moment either..
And as expected, I knocked on the only closed room among the two simple rooms on the second floor and opened the door..
"Don't go down because it's all messed up below.."
Ragnis, who was sitting in a single room with only a bed and a small window that barely let in light, answered as if it were absurd..
"That's what they said after giving up this Sadal.?"
It was so loud that I guess I already knew what was happening..
"Four months. I fought because the commoner, who called the nobleman, who was not a sinner, a sinner, did not listen to me after many times of advice and warnings. They also admitted it."
"Over there? Noble house? Now people from the Noble House have come directly.?"
"uh. A man named Luceric came. He's a spokesperson or something?"
At least because it was a room without a single chair for a guest to sit on, Ragnis looked at me with my arms crossed crookedly, leaning against the open door, with a very disapproving look..
"If you are Luceric, you are the direct agent of Duke Lethrom. Duke Lesrom is the head of a faction.."
"I already invited you to see my face, so I guess I should go right away after the conversation.."
"...ha. I don't even have the energy to be surprised anymore. Why are you so calm?..."
"What's new? I went to the empire and met the princess, but now I can't be intimidated by the duke.."
Ragnis wipes his face as if he is somehow resisting a strong desire to shake his head and begins to stare at the floor with a tired face..
"No matter what happens in the Noble House, don’t pull out your sword.."
"I'll only pick it when I'm in danger of dying.."
"That's natural."
Because I believed that I was only involved in something absurd and not in something dangerous, I did not offer any words of comfort. Instead, after chatting about our dissatisfaction with solitary confinement, we came down to the first floor, promising to do so tomorrow. I thought about telling her what I heard from Lenisa, but it was clear that I would hear it once more as soon as the conversation with the head deacon was resolved, so I only gave a cursory summary..
And as soon as I went up, I looked back at the corpses around me and the corpses around me, leaving behind the soldiers who were expressing very complicated feelings, and headed toward Luceric..
