Episode 1234. How much are you doing?
Fabian, who was excited about managing Count Elio Lagoa’s estate, suddenly asked.
“But Count, in order to manage it, don’t the estate officials at least need to know that I am the Count’s vassal and agent?”
“of course.”
“Those people have never met the Count and me, have they?”
“so?”
“Isn’t giving instructions through magical communication only possible if you know who each other is?”
“Oh, I see.”
“Oh, that’s not true. “I have never been to Slash Land or Latinus. Will the land managers there follow my orders?”
“Aren’t you going to follow me?”
“Ah, it ended up being good.”
“What can I do? It happened because I was busy with the way to go.”
“You can’t come all the way back to the North, right?”
“If you want to go, go alone. “I can at least write a power of attorney for you.”
“Are you telling me to go back to the North alone? “You can’t do that.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do. “I entrusted the management of the territory to you, but you said you didn’t like it?”
Fabian pouted his lips at the mere lip service of the official appointment.
However, because he knew that Count Elio Lagoa did not do it on purpose, he did not say anything.
Just then, Count Larva Omar returned.
Then Fabian excitedly talked about what had happened while he was away.
“… … Then Viscount Norton Crow says he did it? “Count Lagoa sent me away saying he would kill me if he caught my eye again.”
Count Larva Omar, who was nodding, asked Count Elio Lagoa.
“Why did you let Viscount Crow go?”
“You killed your daughter with your own hands. “Is there a greater punishment than that?”
Count Larva Omar looked at Count Elio Lagoa with new eyes.
The great nobles who commit honor killings do not even suffer from such incidents.
This is because to them, children are nothing more than their possessions.
The more I experience Count Elio Lagoa, the more I cannot understand him.
He is a cold-hearted person when he thinks about Wayne Scott (Iriza Crow’s husband) who was enslaved and the kidnappers who were turned into pieces of meat, but when you look at him like that, he is extremely soft.
“Well done.”
Maybe it’s a much better ending than struggling with that.
After a while, Elio and his party packed up their luggage and left Aporis, the administrative minister’s villa.
***
The southernmost border checkpoint of the Principality of Fatima.
Around noon.
When five stagecoaches lined up and arrived at the border checkpoint, the inspection began.
The inspection, at best, was nothing more than checking the Stagecoach Association’s documents, and it ended not long after.
In less than five minutes, five stagecoaches crossed the border.
Elio muttered as he watched the scenery outside the window passing by behind him.
“It’s fast.”
Then Fabian, sitting next to me, chimed in.
“This is normal. “The Stagecoach Association didn’t become big for nothing.”
“okay?”
“Stagecoaches don’t just transport people. The three wagons this time are wagons, right? “Since we transport logistics to every corner of the empire, the principalities have no choice but to treat us favorably.”
“I hope you know a lot.”
“Hey, don’t say that. “By the time you reach the southern part of the Lagoa Island, there will be nothing you don’t know.”
Has it been about an hour since we crossed the border?
The carriage, which was running comfortably on the road, clattered and shook violently as if something had gone wrong.
Eventually, the wheel started to ‘rumble!’ It was an uncomfortable sound to hear.
The coachman belatedly sensed something was wrong and stopped the carriage.
Five carriages were lined up on the side of the road.
Soon after, the transport manager, who had inspected the condition of the wheels with the coachman, spoke to the passengers.
“The wheels need to be changed. “You, too, should help us with this work.”
However, the passengers looked out the window with indifferent faces, as if they had not heard anything.
Elio and the others also pretended not to notice.
When the passengers did not move, Transport Manager Butts Willow approached the third-class window.
“Sir, I need you to come out.”
“Me?”
Elio asked back with a surprised face.
No, I don’t know why I’m being singled out among six people.
“yes. “You and the two guests sitting next to you, please come out.”
“There are four people in the back, so why are we the only ones…” … .”
Butts Willow frowned at the young man’s timid protest and said,
“Because the passenger’s seat is third class. Originally, if there was a problem with the carriage, third class passengers were expected to help. That’s why third-class tickets are cheaper than first-class tickets. “Didn’t you know?”
At that moment, Elio looked back at Fabian sitting next to him.
“Fabian, what do you mean? “Why am I sitting in third class?”
“Oh, well, there were only one second class and two third class tickets for immediate departure. “But because the second class passengers were too big, Lord Lagoa said he would sit in third class.”
“Holy shit. Did you know that third class passengers have to help with chores?”
“sorry. I didn’t know that. This is my first time taking a long-distance stagecoach. “If I had known, I would have waited and gotten the next ticket.”
“… … .”
As Elio gritted his teeth and glared at Fabian, Second Class Count Larva Omar asked:
“Lord Lagoa, would you like us to change places again right now?”
“no. it’s okay.”
At Elio’s refusal, Count Larva Omar nodded as if he knew he would do so.
Eventually, Elio and Fabian got out of the carriage.
Only then did the transport manager let all the passengers on the carriage get off.
People who had pretended not to hear until now suddenly got off the carriage.
Looking at things like that, it is clear that they were pretending not to know because it was none of their business.
Elio and Fabian lifted the carriage with all their might at the driver’s signal.
One side of the carriage was lifted up with a crunching sound.
The guards who saw the scene said ‘Oh!’ An exclamation flowed out.
If the two failed, the guards who were waiting to help even clapped.
This is because, no matter how strong you are, lifting a carriage with two people is not an easy task.
In the meantime, the driver quickly removed the sounding wheel and replaced it with a new wheel.
Elio and Fabian stood with their shoulders relaxed and then returned to the carriage.
Elio said as soon as he sat down.
“Next time, don’t buy third class seats. “It doesn’t look like it’s there.”
“Yes, but… … no.”
Fabian refrained from saying, ‘It’s not much.’
This is because it may seem like Count Larva Omar’s wealth is being ignored.
It wasn’t just fast when passing through the border checkpoint.
Even when passing through the duchy’s territories, the passage process was surprisingly simple compared to before.
Elio saw that and tapped Fabian with his elbow.
“yes?”
“Next time, get a wagon with lots of luggage. “It seems like things take priority over people.”
“But there are not only good things about wagons.”
“What’s bad?”
“Didn’t you see that the guard is twice as big as before?”
“There were a bit too many guards.”
“It is easy to become a target for robbers targeting cargo. “At that time, I heard it was no joke.”
“You haven’t met the robbers either, have you?”
“If I had met you, I wouldn’t be here.”
“What are you talking about? Are you really going to kill everyone here?”
Elio, who was also from the green forest, looked at Fabian with surprised eyes.
“I don’t know what it was like in Lord Lagoa’s hometown, but here they kill everyone and only take their goods. “If you are arrested, you are hanged without a trial, so there are no witnesses left behind.”
“Wow! “They are great guys.”
“That’s why the price of the wagon is a little cheaper. “It’s probably more dangerous than a stagecoach.”
“Is being third class on a wagon a low point in life?”
“That’s what I heard. From next time, I will definitely only buy things in this grade.”
“Are you going to have to live a low life for a month until you get to your destination?”
“Does it matter what other people think? All you have to do is be rich on the inside.”
“But it still doesn’t stand up. “For some reason, it seemed like the passengers were avoiding me in the restaurant.”
“It’s a third-class life.”
“shit.”
When Elio grumbled, Fabian smiled and said.
“If you care so much about what others think, Sir Omar, please change places.”
“If it were you, would you change it?”
As he spoke, Elio pointed with his finger at the two giants in the front seat, who were sitting with their shoulders pressed together.
It felt like I was suffocating just looking at it, as if a wall had been built.
Both of them were large and did not even move when the carriage shook.
“I will never change it.”
“I can’t even breathe. In any case, even in the South, it is always a wagon. I can no longer stand waiting blankly at each checkpoint. “If I had known that wagons would be treated like this, I would have used them from the capital city.”
“I’ll tell you again, this is my first time traveling with a wagon.”
At that time, a man in his forties who was sitting in the front of the second class seat suddenly intervened.
“Even if it is a cart, it is not always possible to pass through the checkpoint quickly. If you’re unlucky, sometimes half a day goes by due to baggage inspection. “There is a reason why wagon prices are cheap.”
“Oh, is that so?”
As he spoke, Elio tapped Fabian with his shoulder.
“They say it’s luck. luck. “Don’t you know anything?”
“I think I told you that this was my first time traveling long distances by wagon. So, why not buy wagon tickets in the South?”
“buy. “We are the lucky ones.”
“All right. He clearly told me to buy a cart ticket. “You can’t blame me if something happens later?”
“I will not. “When have I ever resented you?”
“There are a lot.”
“Damn.”
“uh? “Did you swear?”
“Talk to yourself is not swearing.”
“Then can I talk to myself too?”
“Is that right?”
As the two people were arguing, the man sitting in front politely said something.
“This is not the carriage you two chartered, so let’s think about the other passengers.”
Elio and Fabian kept their mouths shut at those words.
Even if they think about it, their voice was a little louder a little while ago.
Elio, who felt embarrassed for no reason, poked Fabian’s side with his elbow and whispered.
“Say you’re sorry.”
Baron Fabian wondered if he had to do that, but Count Elio Lagoa, who had a special mental world, reluctantly opened his mouth to apologize.
“I’m sorry. “I will be careful.”
At that moment, a woman in her early twenties who was sitting in the first class seat in the very front said, ‘Phew!’ And she burst into laughter.
Then the young man sitting next to her spoke.
“You find things like that interesting. “It’s a rare sight to see unless it’s a cart.”
“I guess Baron Solon uses a wagon often?”
“Well, people might think that I travel around in a chartered carriage, but when I’m in a hurry, I sometimes use a wagon. “I am by nature a person who pursues practical interests.”
“Oh, you’re great.”
“Nobility without money are reluctant to use carts for reasons of respect, but… … The enviable rich surpass even that. Do you think there is a difference between first class carriage and charter carriage?”
“same?”
“of course. When I arrive in the Principality of Topla, I will find a carriage for you to charter. “How much are you doing?”
