Chapter 70 Count Levi (2)

Mu Thai, Count Levi's captain of security.

With a shaggy beard and a shaggy figure, he tilted his head at the sudden order.

"Do you want me to hand over the command?"

"You're right about what you saw.”

"Who is your opponent?”

"Article……."

"Oh, finally! Are you a member of the royal family? Or the Earl of the next town...….”

"…a trainee."

"What?"

Mutai narrowed his forehead sharply. The butler, who delivered the order, shrugged as if nothing could be done.

But the situation wasn't so bad for Mutai to think of.

No matter how much you're a trainee, it's true that you're much stronger than a common mortuary.

"How many?”

"One."

"Oh, damn it. Why the hell did this happen to me?”

"That's because the lord ordered it. Is there any other reason?"

"The lord would not have welcomed such a young man's campaign."

"That's true. Actually, you didn't expect one person to come. Wouldn't you have?”

"What kind of guy is he?”

"You were full of confidence."

"It's gotten a little worse."

"But I have manners. Not only to the lord, but also to me."

"Would you do that to us, too?"

"He……."

The butler shrugged.

Mutai sighed deeply.

"When are you coming?"

"He'll be here in a little while. Talk to other friends in advance. Don't let any mishaps happen."

"Do you have any?"

"I'm sorry."

"You don't have to do that. You never know, do you? I don't know if it's gonna solve those troubles.”

Of course.

Neither Mutai nor the butler had such expectations.

"I'll tell the others in advance, thank you.”

***

Levi Backwriter, Guard Command.

Mutai, the captain of the guard, gathered the soldiers in front of the command.

The number is about 300.

Except for those who immediately stood outside the perimeter, every one of them was gathered.

In fact, it was too much for the entire group to enter the building, and now Mutai had only a few senior officers with soldiers standing outside.

"Captain, what's the emergency call all of a sudden?"

"It's an emergency call, man."

"That's what you're saying. What's the matter? Don't tell me the bandits and...….”

"It's not like that."

Mutai shook his head.

Reilly, the unit commander who had just asked, tilted his head in wonder.

"Some kid will come and lead us."

"…Little boy? What does that mean? So what's the captain doing?”

"I'm asking you to follow orders. I'm going to hand over the whole command. I don't know how long it'll last, but...….”

Mutai explained the situation roughly.

The academy's trainee came, the request sent by the lord was the cause, and all soldiers, including himself, were to follow the student's instructions.

Unit commander Reilly opened his mouth wide.

"Did you accept that?"

"Well, shall I say no?”

"Well, at least complain strongly...…. Actually, I have to. All right, I'll pass it on to the others?"

"Still wait. There's no need to stir it up. He told me not to make anything unsavory."

"Just in case they come at you?”

"He was noble."

"Oh, my God."

Frustration fell on Reilly's face.

It was because I already saw a terrible future.

With the Academy's performance, treatment would have been treated as it was treated, and even the aristocrats were extremely petulant.

In fact, even Count Levi, who they serve, did not fully understand the plight of his subordinates.

Despite being a "wise" lord.

Mutai looked back at Reilly and the executives' faces and sighed deeply, which he did not know how many times already.

"Let's meet first and decide. 'Cause you'll have to say something to the others.'

"When are you coming?"

"I said I'd be here soon.….”

knock, knock

"Here you are."

At the knock, Mutai made a bamboo figure.

What kind of man is beyond this door?

I thought so, and I cleared my face. You didn't have to make an unpleasant impression from the beginning.

The door opened.

The exposed opponent was the image that was expected.

He was young as well as young as he was, his waist was covered with plausible black marks, and his facial expression was full of confidence.

"Nice to meet you, Count Levi's captain Mutai.”

"I'm Henry Camilton, a knight at the Royal Academy. It's a pleasure."

"…come in for now."

As a trainee, Mutai had no reason to use honorifics to Henry.

But neither did Henry, who had no reason to.

But a while ago.

Henry, greeted by Mutai, was more polite.

That's not what I expected.’

Mutai, who thought so, glanced at the executives, Reilly and others.

It was clear that everyone felt the same way.

Because hope was revealed in his eyes.

'No, maybe.'

But Mutai did not let his guard down.

At first glance, it might have been a relief, but it might have worsened.

If he's drunk on his status as a knight, he is.

Knight!

The image in the two letters was considerable.

Righteous, courageous, and firm.

Even if it's nothing to do with an article, you'll naturally come up with a "article-like" image. What if you're an article right now?

Of course he'll try to look like a knight.’

The driver himself may think so.

He's righteous, he's brave.

But usually, those underlings took the idea a little differently.

It's inflexible, it's simple.

There was no more troublesome situation than receiving such a person as a commander to serve-in-chief.

While Mutai was looking at Henry's liver, Henry also knew the people here.

an earl on the outskirts of the kingdom

It wasn't a very busy estate, and the people were simple.

The territorial soldiers were not much different.

Those who are not good at hiding themselves.

Just by looking at the expression on his face, Henry seemed to know what was going on roughly.

"You seem to be very anxious. I'm worried that I'm going to be snobbish.….I'm sure. The lord of this place handed over the command of these people to send them back to the proper way. In fact, I've left my burden to them."

After all, it was obvious.

They didn't know what Henry was like, and they were feeling anxious about it.

The solution was simple.

"All I have to do is show you who I am. It's the way that counts. I'll have to do something for now."

A picture was drawn roughly in my head.

Henry first spoke to Mutai, who looked awkward.

"You don't have to worry so much."

"…Yes?"

"Isn't it unnecessary to look at each other's eyes? It is true that Count Levi entrusted me with the command of the security forces, but I do not intend to go on a rampage.

“…….”

"May I sit down?"

"Oh, of course."

Mutai was obviously embarrassed.

Other executives also made little difference.

Henry sat roughly in the right place at the conference table.

It wasn't a top seat, but it wasn't the end.

"Can I say what I think first?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You sure you don't know?"

"No, it's him.…I'll make a guess. It's not about bandits."

"That's exactly what the request I received said. It's about a hundred people in size, and it's very quick to move, so it's not easy to soil.”

"It's true."

"That's where I felt the question. I also saw him on my way to see the lord. The people here were living a relatively leisurely life."

"It's not that relaxing."

"Until the bandits show up. Even though the grain storage was robbed right away, there was plenty of food. Also, the clothes I wear were neat. It's easy to raise the standard of living, but it's hard to get off."

Even if a painful situation is faced right away, a person cannot easily give up on what he has enjoyed so far unless the content is extreme.

A typical example was food and clothing.

It's a residential problem, actually, where drastic changes are hard to take place, but not the first two.

"That's what they always did until the bandits showed up. The fact that Yeongjimin is peaceful means that the lord is wise and the guard is brave."

"…I understand."

"Also, the guard led by Mutai would have been not only brave but also competent. You're dealing with external enemies now, but you used to be in charge of the security inside the estate, right?”

Mutai nodded and accepted.

I was proud of myself for that fact.

"But…… Oh, I'd like to talk to you alone from now on. Would you please leave the room?"

Reflectively, executives turned to Mutai. Mutai nodded quietly, and soon there were only two people left in the room.

"Are you done now?"

"Let's continue, anyway, there...….”

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but may I ask you a question?"

"Do it."

"The bandits are a big problem for us, but I don't think it's something you have to deal with in such a hurry."

"Do you think it's too urgent?”

"Honestly, yes."

It was a natural question and a rational question.

It wasn't bad to not establish authority, but it felt weird to push him like this as soon as he got here.

"There's a reason why."

Henry spoke calmly.

A while ago.

When I finished my conversation with the count and turned around.

[Fan ID] donated 10,000 won!>

"What? What's going on?">

It was because of the well-timed oopop.

Right after I heard the manager's explanation.

Oopop pushed Henry into the typhoon without fail.

[Fan ID] donated 10,000 won!>

It's a million won!

It was not a crime against bandits, it was a million won just to take control of the guards.

Of course Henry was in a hurry.

But I can't be honest with you.

A good excuse was needed, and Henry happened to have something plausible.

"I'm a trainee at the Academy. So far."

"I heard so."

"We can't stay like this forever. I've always dreamed of becoming a knight and fulfilling my assigned mission."

"He……."

"To be honest with you."

Henry lowered his eyes slightly as if ashamed.

"For me, this was just irrelevant land. If it wasn't for the mission, I wouldn't have come all my life. I mean."

“…….”

"It was before I saw it in person. I didn't realize it even when I faced the request. I didn't have enough experience. It wasn't until I saw for myself that I realized what was going on with Count Levi, and I vaguely knew what I was supposed to do as a knight."

"I'll take it roughly."

"I looked back on what I was going to be a knight for, and I thought about what I should do today. It seemed complicated at first glance, but it wasn't that difficult.”

Mutai remained unresponsive.

You look like you're confessing all of a sudden.

"I've been given a mission, and I'm only doing it. If we wipe out bandits, those who suffer from it will regain their composure. Wouldn't it be?"

"……It's not that simple."

Eventually Mutai sighed.

At the end of a long confession, the obvious came out.

But thanks to him.

In Mutai's head, the reason why Henry acts so "in a hurry" is in his head.

"I understand what you're saying, but…….”

"Give me five days."

To Mutai, who looked at it wondering what it meant, Henry said in a voice full of conviction.

"If I can't get rid of Count Levi's troubles in exactly five days, I'll be back in good shape."
