100. Anhamuin’s Dwarf
The day after the disaster that was Queen Orlot.
The hierarchy among the employees of the Trine mansion was established in an instant.
“Then, from now on, I ask that you all manage the mansion under my instructions!”
Hwaran shouted with a triumphant expression to the employees gathered at the entrance.
Then the employees bowed politely and answered at the same time.
“I understand, Chamberlain Hwaran.”
In the meantime, Hwaran shouted at the three women who were particularly hesitant behind him.
“In particular, keep in mind that the three people there will be treated equally without discrimination!”
To those words, Sia, Adelica, and Hyerim, all dressed in maid uniforms, answered at the same time.
“yes!”
“All right!”
“yes!”
Only then did Hwaran nod his head as if satisfied.
… In fact, the reason Trine gave Hwaran the position of chamberlain was ‘because he had no choice’.
Most of the employees were, in a sense, sent by Orlot to monitor Trine.
I felt completely uncomfortable letting them behave as they pleased in the mansion.
In the end, Trine decided to entrust management to one of his close associates.
In the end, the only suitable candidate was Hwaran.
Although I was anxious in many ways,
First of all, it wasn’t a bad choice in terms of the atmosphere of the mansion.
Hwaran shouted to everyone.
“Then let’s have a refreshing and energetic day today! Good luck everyone!”
At those words, all the employees shouted after her.
“go for it!”
***
Sadly, Trine didn’t have time to watch what Hwaran was doing on his own.
Something much more serious than that was currently happening outside the mansion.
Saymint said.
“What is it?”
Lexi responded.
“what.”
“What is it?”
“What dude?”
It looks like this as soon as the two meet.
Even though we didn’t have anything to say to each other, I felt like we were determined to start an argument.
Even Saymint, the epitome of mercy, shows this attitude.
Trine stepped in between the two, forced a smile, and bowed to Saymint.
“Oh, it’s been a while, Mr. Saymint!”
Saymint smiled sweetly and answered as if he had never done that before.
“You’re having a hard time setting up your new home.”
“What brings you here?”
“I came to discuss moving our elf village to Mount Theor.”
Lexi intervened.
“Wait. The discussion on the underground passage construction comes first.”
“I’m sorry, but I came first.”
“Don’t act like a brat. This is more urgent.”
“How can you keep your reckless personality the same as before?”
In the end, Trine separated the two and shouted.
“Stop! Please stop! Why can’t everyone get along!”
Then he took a deep breath and spoke to Saymint.
“I’m sorry, Seimint. I had a prior agreement with Lexi, so please wait a little longer.”
“…Yes. I’m sorry for showing you my ugly side. I’ll be waiting.”
After Saymint entered the mansion,
Trine said, glaring at Lexi.
“Do I really have to start a fight with everyone I meet like that?”
“Let me be clear, he started first.”
“Are the elves and dwarves on bad terms?”
“No. It’s a private matter between the two of us.”
Lexi spread a large map on the floor.
“We decided to build a spider web-shaped underground passage in the 10th Street village, based on the basement of this mansion.”
“Yeah, that sounds good.”
“Ask each village to decide where to build a passage entrance and let me know.”
“Okay, I’ll get back to you right away.”
“Good luck then.”
When Lexi picked up the road map and was about to leave,
Trine asked, grabbing her arm.
“Wait, is that all?”
“Uh, that’s it.”
“No, there are many things we need to discuss further-”
“Are you saying you don’t trust our dwarves’ technology?”
The underside of Trine’s eyes trembled at his bold tone.
“…No, then I’ll trust you and leave it to you.”
“uh.”
When Lexi left, Trine returned to the mansion grumbling.
Seimint was waiting for him at the front door.
“It finished earlier than expected?”
“Iknow, right.”
Trine took Saymint to the parlor and prepared some refreshments for his servant.
Then he asked Saymint.
“Are you on very bad terms with Lexi?”
Saymint responded by smiling awkwardly, as if he was a little embarrassed.
“It’s because we have known each other for a long time.”
“It’s not a problem between the dwarves and the elves, is it?”
“…It’s hard to say that we get along well.”
Trine paused for a moment and then spoke.
“Actually, the dwarves also decided to live in this territory.”
“is that so.”
“It was decided suddenly, so I’m sorry for not being able to tell you in advance.”
“No. This is because we are asking an unreasonable request.”
When Saymint showed her usual friendly smile, Trine asked with a little relief.
“First of all, will there be any problem with moving here?”
“The territory itself is large, and we are not that much of an enemy with the dwarves.”
“That’s a good thing.”
At that time, Sia came into the living room, pulling a cart filled with tea and refreshments.
“Trine, Seimint, I will prepare refreshments for you.”
Saymint looked at Sia, who was wearing a maid uniform, with a somewhat surprised expression.
“Princess Xia, I have a favor to ask, is that okay?”
“Yes, what is it?”
Seimint immediately pulled Sia’s arm and made her sit on his lap.
“Ouch! Se, Mr. Saymint?!”
“I’m sorry~ It was so cute I couldn’t resist it.”
“No! Over there!”
“Mr. Trine, is it okay if I borrow Princess Sia for a moment?”
Trine answered, slightly averting his gaze.
“Yes, well, do whatever you want.”
“Sir! In times like this, of course you have to protect me!”
Sia, who had been struggling in Sia’s arms for a while, soon became resigned and calm.
Meanwhile, Saymint began to explain why they wanted to come here.
“As you know, we are currently not affiliated with any territory and are just hiding out.”
The elves originally built a village secretly in the forest to avoid the eyes of the Holy Kingdom of Yumano.
Although the Kingdom of Artoria turned a blind eye to the act,
In fact, it was no different from an act of invasion without any prior treaty.
It’s as if their village has already been discovered.
There was nothing good about remaining in that forest any longer.
“Because this land is under the protection of Mu Kyung-ryong, and the demons are in a similar situation to us.”
Trine answered after thinking for a moment.
“I definitely think it would be better in many ways for you to come here.”
Then, after another pause, he spoke.
“Okay, then I’ll prepare a place for you to stay in advance.”
“Mr. Trine.”
Saymint said with a hardened expression.
“Aren’t you taking this issue too lightly?”
“Huh? No, I-”
“I did not come to ask a favor from my friend Mr. Trine. I came to negotiate with the lord.”
Saymint said, hugging Sia a little tighter.
“I hope you think about your position a little more seriously.”
Sia, who was in Seimint’s arms, also smiled slightly and nodded.
Finally, Trine took a deep breath and spoke.
“Yes, that’s right. I’m sorry.”
“If we accept our elves, we may give Yumano Castle an excuse for another war at the national level.”
The Kingdom of Artoria is in an alliance with the Holy Kingdom of Yumano.
That is why no autonomy was officially recognized for the elf villages.
If Trine accepts the elven village,
This could spread not only to a problem in this territory, but to a problem for the entire kingdom.
In the worst case, as Seimint said, the alliance with the Yumano Castle could be broken.
“…First, let’s discuss it with Queen Orlot.”
Only then did Seimint smile again.
“thank you.”
“If we accept you, what benefits will the elves provide us?”
“Let’s build a library where we can teach the magic and culture of the elves.”
“The library?!”
Trine’s eyes sparkled.
Then Sia looked up at Saymint and said.
“Sister, isn’t this a very cheap bargaining chip to ask your senior to think carefully about?”
“Hehe, bait has to be desirable to be effective.”
At those words, Trine calmed down a little and muttered.
“Bait…”
From noble mtl dot come
“Besides, this condition is by no means just for Mr. Trine.”
Saymint spoke while stroking Sia’s head.
“Building a library means revealing most of the secrets of our elves to Artoria.”
Certainly, under those conditions, it would be a huge benefit for the kingdom.
But on the other hand…
It also meant that it was a high-risk transaction.
“I understand. I will also tell the Queen about the library proposal.”
“Yes. Please.”
At that time, Adelica knocked and came into the living room.
“Trine, Instructor Elroy has come to visit.”
“Oh, yes. I’ll be there soon, so take me to the second living room.”
Adelica bowed and straightened her back once,
He looked at Sia and smiled sinisterly.
Then he went out of the living room and shouted.
“Chief Chamberlain! Sia is making a fuss!”
Then Sia jumped up in surprise and chased after Adelica.
“Wait, that’s not it!”
Saymint looked at Sia’s back and smiled happily.
“It’s a fun and lively mansion in many ways.”
Trine responded, stretching out his body on the sofa.
“You probably misrepresented the noisy and crazy mansion.”
***
Soon after the discussion with Saymint was over, Trine headed straight toward the second reception room.
“…Instructor, what are you doing?”
“Huh? Ah~ your mansion is really nice.”
For some reason, Hye-rim and two other employees were massaging Eloy’s shoulders and legs.
Trine sat down across from Elroy and invited the employees out.
“The employees aren’t properly established yet, so don’t push them too hard.”
“But I also wanted to enjoy a long-awaited vacation.”
Instructor Elroy looked grumpy and placed a photo on the table.
It was a group photo taken by Trine and Knight Department students at Oddball.
“You guys are going to have fun without me again.”
“I-I’m sorry about that.”
“Besides, if you found a mansion like this, shouldn’t you invite this master?”
“Of course, once things were somewhat organized, we were going to have a housewarming party.”
Eloy bent forward slightly and handed out a small business card to Trine.
“Well, it’s a little early, but this is a housewarming gift.”
“what is this?”
“This is the mercenary group I was a member of before coming to the academy.”
“Uh… wow.”
Trine said as he looked at the business card with an expression of sincere admiration.
“Instructor, didn’t you say that your mercenary group is very strong?”
“It’s a little expensive, but it’s good at everything from security to assassination.”
“I will accept it gratefully. Although there is no need to use it right now.”
Instructor Elroy said, looking at Trine intently.
“From now on, there will be many things that will be difficult for you to do on your own.”
“I guess so.”
“In times like that, put aside your half-hearted conscience and act clearly.”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
At that time, Maria suddenly came into the living room and said.
“Trine! I have a favor to ask-“
Then, he immediately made eye contact with Instructor Eloi and became thoughtful.
“Kwaek!”
“Maria, you b*stard, I met you well!”
Instructor Elroy stood up and took out a piece of paper from his arms.
“How dare you submit a letter of resignation to the principal without consulting me?”
“Well, there’s a story!”
Instructor Eloy tore up the resignation letter and rushed at Maria.
“I will completely repair this b*stard’s rotten nature!”
Maria responded as she quickly ran away.
“Don’t be ridiculous! You’re not even my instructor anymore!”
“Once a teacher, always a teacher!”
So the two ran out of the living room and started running.
Trine, who was left alone, lowered his head and muttered.
“Is there some kind of evil curse hanging over this mansion?”
