How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job
Chapter 36

Chapter 36. The time for independence comes (3)

“In addition, young nobles in Korea are also showing interest in the three princes.

Except for His Highness, the Crown Prince.”

he let out a deep sigh.

Loyalists who sincerely care about the future of this country.

He had a worried expression on his face as if it had happened.

It just felt disgusting to the king.

“The discipline is already shaking.

Even if the people involved don’t have the heart to do that… you know that.”

“It is an excessive delusion.”

However, the duke shook his head and dared to speak again.

“If you don't mind it, the time of His Majesty's Majesty...

“Don't say more than that!”

This is the final warning.

He corrected his words, as if he had conveyed that he would never let anyone cross that line.

“Even for the sake of the three princes, it is right to bestow them with land and keep them away from them. Wouldn’t it be better to think of the discipline of the royal family first?”

“Even so, it’s still early. At least it has to be three years later…

“It’s not just our opinion.”

At the Duke's command, the secretary guarding his back returned with numerous complaints.

I had to put up with the feeling of boiling in my head because I could guess what the contents of the appeal would be without reading it.

‘Does the gear come out like this?'

“Already many aristocrats are concerned that the discipline of the royal family will be shaken.

This is the opinion of those who want stability in the kingdom.”

Having said that, I continue to post other complaints.

“Do not turn away from their will.”

Other nobles also joined in his will and urged him to read the appeal.

I had no choice but to read it, and the contents were spectacle.

As if they had been conceived in advance, all they said was that Arel's existence would cause confusion in the discipline of the royal family.

“Kkeuh?...”

In the end, they felt a sense of crisis at Arell's existence.

It is said that the horse is Yeongji Sergeant, but in fact it is a blatant check.

Now they are asking here.

Get Arel out of here.

‘It must have happened someday.'

Arel's performance has been outstanding lately.

Beyond simply discussing with scholars, there must be no one among the nobles who does not know Arel.

‘Perhaps this body was complacent.'

Thinking that they might have seemed to be favoring Arelman in their eyes, I felt sorry for him belatedly.

Right now, they are so concerned that Arell will become a threat to the crown prince.

“Should that be so? I think that child's talent can be displayed here.”

I've complained, but their complexion doesn't change at all.

Are you already determined?

“Wouldn’t it be nice to gain experience in a different environment for Arell-sama?”

It means to be expelled to a different environment.

The desire to ignore it is like a chimney, but politics cannot do that.

Also, if I don't accept their request now, will I really resign?

‘...It's difficult.'

I already know.

Now this is the nobles' ultimatum.

If you don't want to create the worst tragedy once again, stay away from the cause.

“…I see. I'll consider it first. If there is a territory suitable for that child, please make a recommendation.”

The king endured a deep sigh and granted their request.

* * *

It was two days after the meeting ended that I heard the news.

What the hell was going on at the meeting, so I got a letter about it?

....If there are not a few corners that sting on my conscience... I don't know if there are any.

What is it? Curious, I checked the letter.

“Ohh? That's how it happened.”

Apparently, there was a discussion about the future treatment of me at the meeting.

Although the content of the letter was only about granting me the estate, I can easily imagine what kind of atmosphere it must have been when this discussion came up.

Sergeant Youngji?

I must have misunderstood exile.

“Well, I did stand out a bit during that time.”

rather now? I also heard the question.

If it had been as I expected, it wouldn't have been strange if a story like this had come out about the year before last.

That's what politics is all about.

Absolutely I'm right

The bad ones are you guys.

It's politics to be serious about childlike things like “Everyone but me must die.”

Quite a biased view, but generally so.

It thoroughly builds its own side and tries to exclude the existence outside its fence with all its might.

I scratched the back of my head and leaned back in my chair.

“...Huh.”

Laughter slowly leaks out.

“Khehehehehe.”

And the laughter gets louder.

“Puhehehehehehehehehe!? Puhahahahahahahahaha!”

And the sound of laughter turned into laughter, and soon only my laughter could be heard in my office.

It's okay. The soundproofing here is perfect.

No one hears me whether I laugh or scream or do something stern.

So let's laugh to our heart's content

Will you leave without laughing?

“okay. wisdom! That's Youngji! Ahahahahahaha!”

Are you angry? you're welcome!

I'm not the type to laugh when I'm angry.

Then why are you laughing?

That's because things are going the way I hoped.

Could it be that I, as a professional in my previous life, stood out without thinking about it?

Just look at these fools, look at me, look at me! and did it on purpose.

Wouldn't that make them aware of me and send me away?

In the first place, I had no intention of living in the palace for the rest of my life.

throne? Say dog or week! i don't need

work just keeps increasing.

In aristocratic society, everyone is a potential terrorist.

can't that be good?

It would be a hundred times better to obtain a suitable estate and set up my house there.

If it's there, I can eat it as I want even if I hide my eyes.

It's finally time to build your own nest!

Yes, at this time of year, teenagers want to have their own room.

But when it comes to me, the scale is different.

I want to have my own estate.

Your own love house.

The first step to building my own Abanggung has finally begun.

In that sense, this decision right now is the best situation for me.

Kyahoo!

I did it aaaaaaa!

Unknowingly, I climbed onto the desk, raised my fist high, and let out cheers.

Hmmm... I lost my temper for a moment in my ecstasy.

“This is not the time!”

It's annoying, but I think I'll have to work for a while.

prepare for independence

First of all, he summoned all the ladies-in-waiting, the alchemist team, and the escort knights.

Then I told them as much as I could about my independence case.

Of course, everyone's expression is dark.

It was because I understood that this decision was a check on the nobles to expel me.

ruler? Isn't it time for everyone to be depressed?

“The departure date is one month after the coming-of-age ceremony. Until then, all preparations must be completed.”

literally a year later.

The 14th birthday...

By the standards of the kingdom, that age is customarily an adult, so the birthday at that time actually has the meaning of a coming-of-age ceremony.

And leave after a month.

It's never too much to spare.

Take what you want and leave what you want.

You have to move quickly so that you can fit into your schedule.

Now is the time for me to move a little busily.

“okay. yes. I understand Arel's will.”

First, Damon, who leads the alchemist team, nodded as if in admiration.

Did he understand something right?

First of all, the alchemist team will take only those who wish.

Fortunately, almost 80% of them, including Damon, decided to follow me.

Those who can't follow are the only ones who can't leave this place due to personal circumstances.

The ladies-in-waiting will also ask for their intentions and take them.

Seriously speaking, becoming independent in another territory is not child's play.

No matter how much I say, I can't help but ask about their intentions.

“By the way, where is the territory decided?”

Asha asked curiously.

She and Seina, who are escort knights, had already asked for a doctor before I summoned them.

Fortunately, both are said to follow.

“ah. Come to think of it, I haven't said that yet. hmm? Let's see. They say there is a territory called Fahilia in the north.”

I pulled out the map I had memorized in my head.

It's not as far as the border, but it's quite far.

“Is it Fahilia…

Seina muttered.

The slightly frowning eyes are somehow meaningful

. there it is why'?”

“It’s nothing. I was assigned there once before for about a year.”

ah. Come to think of it, he shot all kinds of danger zones.

....Right.

Does the fact that she went through mean that it is not an ordinary territory?

“It is not a particularly dangerous place. It's just cold... It's incredibly cold.”

emphasized twice.

The strangely tired expression on his face seems to be really cold to the end.

.. I understand a little.

I also went to the front line in my first life in the army.

....I came here with a gruesome eye.

The affection of the nobles who sent me there is conveyed very well.

Yes, the love has cooled very much.

You mean this is the temperature of your heart?

don't remember

“Still, there aren't that many monsters. It's not dangerous. As if that Gri Seina comforts me, it seems like she's trying to say something good, but it doesn't seem to come to mind.

“are you okay. what. That's better than I expected.”

“yes?”

“No... To be honest, I imagined I would be sent to a worse place.”

For example, sending them to a place full of nests of all kinds of ferocious monsters.

I wondered if it was already at a good level if I didn't want to get rid of it by any means, be it an accident or an illness.

When I said that, everyone was making dumbfounded faces.

“Anyway, everyone remember this. It's a year later. For the remaining people, I will look for other seats. And those who will follow, be prepared within a year.”

It's meaningless to look at it.

It's better to make a quick decision for the people under me and give them time to prepare.

* * *

Arel told them that they had to plan ahead, and then he bit everyone he had summoned.

None of those who leave his office are laid back.

Those who will stay here will worry about what they will do in the future, and those who will follow will have their heads complicated with preparations and organizing their personal affairs here.

Seina and Asha were now guarding the door in front of the office.

“Sena, how about being honest?”

Asha suddenly asks in a small voice.

“huh? What do you mean?”

“Did you mean something earlier?”

“ah. Did you notice?”

Seina is the only person here who knows what kind of territory they will be heading to.

There's something she didn't say.

There is no way that even Ashara would not know.

“…Well, I think Arel-sama noticed it too.”

Rather, there is no way that the clever lord would not know.

“So what kind of place is it actually?”

“It is as I said before. It's cold. It's incredibly cold. And...

the smile disappeared from Seina's lips.

“There really is nothing.”
