A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood - A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood chapter 218

Episode 218 – On the Way to Meet Family

Hans and Max were border guards serving on the border of the County of Madern.

“Max. Who is on lunch duty today?”

In fact, the two of them were talking about today’s lunch shift, putting aside their guard duty.

The reason is that one of the few pleasures of working people is eating lunch.

Since the border guard was a workplace with two people, these two could be seen as office workers.

In other words, it can be said that lunch time is a very important time for them.

“It’s you, you idiot.”

When Hans asked who was on duty for lunch, Max responded with a pitiful look.

“What, why me again?”

When Hans heard from Max that he was on duty for lunch, he looked aggrieved.

Although Max said he was his colleague, he thought this man named Hans was truly pathetic.

“Didn’t you look at today’s shift schedule? “It was written on the shift schedule that you were on lunch duty today.”

Max instinctively noticed that his co-worker, Hans, did not show up after seeing his shift schedule.

Before going to work, all Border Guard members must know their working hours and duties for the day.

This was one of the iron rules that people working at the border guard had to follow.

But what does it mean that his co-worker Hans is forgetting his daily duties?

This meant that he did not properly look at the representative on duty.

The most important thing as an office worker is to do the work you are asked to do well.

And for this, it was important to understand the job you were responsible for.

“Oh, shit. “I checked everything else, but I couldn’t check the lunch shift.”

In that respect, Hans could be said to be the worst person to have as a colleague.

The person you can count on in a crisis is the best colleague.

This border guard named Hans was a man who couldn’t even take care of himself.

So, everyone didn’t want to work with Hans.

At least Max, who could be said to be a great friend, was the only person who worked with me.

“Do well, do well. “You idiot.”

Max, who couldn’t beat up Hans because it was work time, decided to just give him a little slap and move on.

“Oh, I don’t know. Let’s just eat roughly.”

Hans still had a carefree personality, not knowing that Max was getting upset because of him.

◈

About two hours after the two went to work.

A carriage appeared on the street in the distance.

“Hmm? “A carriage is coming?”

It was a distance where an ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to see what was coming, but Hans managed to notice the carriage approaching through the barrier.

It was for this very reason that Max worked with Hans even though it was inconvenient for him to do so.

Hans, if nothing else, knew who was approaching faster than a ghost.

In addition, his eyesight was good enough to accurately distinguish distant objects.

This was the reason why Max, who had poor eyesight, used Hans as a substitute for a telescope.

“Who is riding?”

“Well. First of all, the person who appears to be a coachman is a bit unusual, isn’t it?”

“Is it special? “Tell me how you look.”

“Therefore…”

When Max heard Hans’ story about the coachman’s impression, he remembered the morning assembly of the entire border guard that had taken place a few days ago.

‘Everyone pay attention.’

‘Attention!’

‘I will deliver the order from above. If a person wearing such clothes approaches the guard post, their name is asked, and if they are subject to special management, they are ordered to be let through immediately.’

‘As everyone knows, this person’s name is Alberto Salihar Meydern. The Count’s first master… So, so that everyone can remember it well. ‘That’s it.’

Max cut out all the unnecessary parts and remembered only the necessary information.

He could see that the person Hans was talking about matched the person he had seen and heard about at the inquiry.

“It’s you, master.”

“What?”

Hans wondered if he had heard wrong when he heard the words that came out of Max’s mouth.

Young master? Isn’t the only master in our territory the youngest one?

Because Hans dozed off during assembly time, he did not remember much of the day.

So, he reacted like this because he didn’t even know that Alberto was coming back alive.

“The carriage you saw. “The person who is the driver is the first master.”

“Really?”

Rather than being surprised by Max’s words, Hans ignored them and thought, ‘It looks like something new happened while I was sleeping.’

“What does the captain tell me to do?”

“I just asked for your name and told you to let me through.”

“What about reporting to superiors?”

“Of course I should. The first master has returned.”

Although Hans was a little weak, he was a good listener to Max.

While Hans continued to watch the carriage, Max used the magic crystal ball to contact the border guard headquarters.

“Loyalty. This is Max, a member of the Border Guard. “I’m contacting you because I have some business to do.”

―Please report briefly.

“A person who looks similar to the first master is pulling a carriage. The carriage is an ordinary carriage made of wood and roof cloth.”

-Confirmed. Ask for their name, and if the artifact says it’s true, contact them right away.

“All right. Loyalty.”

After a short communication, Max looked at the main street again with Hans.

The artifact that the border guard commander was referring to was a standard truth reader hanging around the necks of two people.

If the other person tells the truth, say ‘Truth’, and if the other person tells a lie, say ‘Warning!’ Warning! It was a tool that spoke a sound that only the wearer could hear: ‘False!’

Max continued to look around, hoping that the artifact would work well.

◈

The carriage that Hans found was only about a minute away from the wooden fence where the two people were standing.

After a minute, the carriage stopped in front of the wooden fence, and the man sitting in the coach seat looked at Hans and Max standing at the wooden fence and said.

“I have something to do at the mansion of Count Meydern. Please open the door.”

“Excuse me, let me check your name. What is your name?”

In response to the request from the man sitting in the coach seat, Hans said as Max had told him.

“This is Alberto Salihar Madern.”

―Truth.

The artifacts hanging around the necks of Max and Hans announced that the words of the man sitting in the coach seat were true.

This means that the person sitting in the coachman’s seat and driving the carriage is the eldest son of Count Meydern’s family.

It was Alberto Salihar Madern.

“You have been confirmed. Welcome back. “Big boy.”

When Max made a gesture, the wooden gate opened on both sides, revealing the mansion of Count Meydern and the highway leading to the lord’s castle.

“It’s a lot of hardship.”

“No. Young master. Please go quickly.”

Alberto encouraged the two border guards and drove the carriage down the street.

After sending Alberto away, the two people moved to their respective seats.

Hans climbed up the wooden fence again to see who was approaching, and Max walked towards the magic crystal ball.

“Loyalty. “This is Hans.”

―To report.

“It has been confirmed that the person who passed through the wooden fence was the great master.”

-Good job. Take a two-day vacation as soon as you finish your shift.

The guard commander granted Hans and Max two days of vacation under his authority.

This was promised in advance, and the plan was to pass Alberto and give two days of vacation to the person who reported it well.

“All right. Loyalty.”

After completing the communication, Max returned to the wooden fence.

Max, who is returning, feels good because he can help his parents during their vacation.

In that way, Hans, who had taken good care of his colleagues, got a bonus vacation.

◈

Alberto and the two women passed the wooden fence and finally entered the estate of the Count Meydern family.

It wasn’t as developed as other territories, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a neighborhood where people couldn’t eat.

Count Maidern led the Territory Knights to periodically exterminate monsters and make money by selling the by-products, so he did not collect a lot of taxes.

So, even though there was less entertainment compared to other territories, there was no problem in making a living.

Such a fiefdom was the fiefdom of the Maidern family.

“Long time no see. “Here too.”

Alberto pulled back the curtain of the carriage and spoke to Nina who was inside.

Then Nina stuck her head out through her pulled curtains.

“Is it only 3 years for you?”

“That’s right.”

Nina’s words reminded Alberto of her old days.

A territory I visited as a wanderer because my identity was not restored.

But now, as the eldest son of the Maidern family, he was on his way to a proud return.

“It’s been three years. “If you include the time at the Royal Academy, it will be a little longer.”

Alberto smiled sheepishly and worked hard to steer the carriage.

“Are you okay. Now.”

“Yes. It’ll be okay.”

To be honest, Alberto did not want to be caught up in complicated cases anymore.

However, rather than worrying about the future, now was the time to dream of being reunited with his family.

“I’ll have to think about it after meeting my parents and younger siblings.”

“I know, right. The little master and the little ladies must have grown up a lot.”

While the two were talking about their families, the carriage continued to move in the direction of Count Meydern’s mansion and the lord’s castle.
