I Returned As the Governor of the Country That Abandoned Me - I Returned As the Governor of the Country That Abandoned Me chapter 8

8 – Everyone has plans

“Hey you crazy man.”

“Welcome, Inspector.”

“Hey, what an idiot.”

“Your mouth hurts, inspector.”

“… “

Has it been a little over a week since you broke up with this guy? I thought I wouldn’t see your face for a while, but I didn’t know that I would be able to meet you so soon.

“What a disgusting respect. Do it as usual.”

“Then let’s do that.”

“Isn’t the stance shift too fast? Am I an investigator?”

As if he didn’t even care what I said, he came over to me and handed over a stack of papers.

“This is the investigation data for this case. I prepared it in advance, so I just need to bring this.”

“Crazy.”

The material he gave me was never something that could be made in a day or two. At least 1 week. This guy created this material from the moment he arrived in Hailan.

First of all, I started reading the materials he gave me. Although formal, as an investigator, I had an obligation to review the materials he handed over.

‘.. It’s neat.’

Perfect without a single flaw. However, the more perfect the data is, the more doubts arise.

“You didn’t write this, did you?”

In the first place, this guy is completely far from paperwork. Since his days as a servant, this guy has no talent for writing, such as writing tests, statements, and police records.

He flinched for a moment, as if he had a corner of his own. The trembling was so subtle that ordinary people would not have noticed it. It’s something that only those who know him well can notice.

“.. I got a little help.”

“Isn’t it a bit?”

“..Correct. Someone else wrote it for me.”

Yes. What kind of relationship is between us, can I accuse this? The guy must have known that too, and he admitted it meekly.

“Who are you?”

That’s why I was curious. Frankly, I don’t care what this data ends up being. This is why the emperor sent me. If you really wanted to investigate this case, you would have sent someone other than me.

“Serena.”

“Yes, sir.”

Ah, that’s him. A young knight who had been attached to Aran’s side since earlier. Just looking at it, there seems to be quite a difference in age. Well, it doesn’t matter. Even the princess, who is 7 years older, is aiming for that guy.

“The introduction is late. This is my classmate, Ellen von Dmitri.”

“Nice to meet you. Article 837, Serena von Hernasia.”

“Hello. Call him Ellen von Dmitri, a classmate of him.”

‘The gnome looks so pretty.’

Untidy, undisturbed hair, a uniform with no dust. This is not the level of neatness, but it is not enough to say that it is clean.

“If you have finished your work, go. Your Highness is waiting for you.”

“Oh, that’s right. I have something to tell you about Your Highness.”

When I told the princess that I was going to meet Aran, the princess was startled. She remembers having a hard time trying to stop her from agreeing to follow her.

At least the compromise was to deliver the goods to this guy. In fact, I wonder if I came here not as an investigator, but as an errand boy for the princess?

“What is this?”

“Dream Catcher? Did His Highness call you that?”

Threads are tangled here and there in a round frame, and things like jewels and feathers are decorated around it. It was like that when I first saw this item, but even now I don’t know where it is used.

“Oh, this is something that is said to stop nightmares if you hang it near a bed, such as a window.”

And then it was. The cute junior’s mouth opened.

“Is there such a thing?”

“For now, I’m seeing it for the first time too… It’s something Your Highness gave me, so wouldn’t it be effective?”

“Then you will use it.”

“It is an item given to you by Your Highness, but how do I use it? Senior writes.”

It was amazing. The image of that girl casually conversing with Aran.

Aran, even when she was in the Empire, she didn’t particularly enjoy hanging out with Garun. At least she was able to have a comfortable conversation with him as much as her classmates.

Of course, after that guy’s death, even that was difficult.

Recently, he seems to be getting along well with the princess, and judging from how he gets along well with that junior, it seems that time is also a medicine.

“Tell Your Highness that I am grateful.”

“Isn’t there such a thing as a letter? I think that would be better than telling you in words. Aren’t you writing a letter to His Highness? Your Highness says you’re sorry…”

I paused for a moment. Because Aran was pointing her finger somewhere.

I moved my gaze toward the place his finger was pointing at. Then, you see, countless letters forming a mountain.

“.. I haven’t even read it yet.”

Um. If that’s the case, I understand. Are you writing 10 letters a day? How is it that writing letters can pile up like that?

“Kuhm. Then, I will tell you in words. Write the letter… Slowly.”

If I go back, I’ll be terribly scolded. Why didn’t you receive the letter? Are you writing a letter? But what to do? One day would not be enough to read that amount of letters.

So, let’s go and enjoy everything we have to enjoy here before we get beaten up. You should be here for a few days anyway. First of all, it’s an investigation.

“I came all the way here, why don’t you introduce yourself here?”

“I am busy.”

“Reading the letter?”

“..Shut up.”

The guy looked at the stack of letters and closed his eyes. Even if you’re like me, if you’re attacked with affection like that, you don’t have the skills to deal with it.

“Serena knows more about this place than I do. Go with him.”

Is that so? I thought he would know better since he’s from here. Well, it’s not a very good memory, so I can understand.

“It’s an honor, senior.”

Senior Ellen, senior Aran’s classmate, came out with me. When I had just become a knight squire, I heard a rumor that there was an outstanding female knight among the knight squire, and that person must be this person.

‘Aran senior and Ellen senior. Again… Who was it?’

I don’t remember very well. At the time, it was said that the three servants were the most outstanding, but at some point, one person’s name disappeared.

However, this is a common occurrence among knights. No matter how excellent a seed is, it is normal for it to shine for a while and then disappear.

“What am I? Our juniors are more amazing. Aren’t you already the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army?”

Senior Ellen said that and she laughed. Well, to be honest, it’s great to be the commander-in-chief at this age. Of course, it’s all thanks to my father.

However, the two are completely different. Only skill. Because of that alone, the two of them have risen to this place.

“You two seem really close.”

“Well, that’s right.”

In fact, that is the appearance of common knights and servants. A bond that naturally sprouts as they roll and live together during their seed days. Among the knights, there is a saying that a close friend during the squire days is a true close friend.

It’s a bit unfortunate that I don’t have a close friend like that.

And then it was. While we were walking and having a conversation, a man entered.

“Ai, who are you?”

Senior Ellen must have been in a bad mood, she said as she glared at the man who had attacked us. I, too, have a natural gaze.

There was a man with blue hair looking at us.

“Oh no, ladies. Are you hurt?”

‘Who was it..’

A lot of personal information is recorded in the Imperial Intelligence Department. Blue hair… I remember seeing it somewhere…

“Isn’t that you, Master Deen?”

“Who are you?”

“He is the son of the kingdom’s finance minister, Altyn von Serendir.”

Deen von Serendir. As the son of the finance minister of the kingdom, he is known as a man who is very revealing about his wife.

“Oops, I’ve been rude. Are you from the Empire? Somehow, the looks were beautiful.”

“Wow, f*cking feet.”

After hearing Deen’s gruff words and actions, senior Ellen spat out harsh words that were difficult to put in her mouth. I might have said a little bit harshly.

“Oh no, I took too much of the ladies’ time. I’m busy too, so I’ll just go. See you again soon.”

He disappears while saying the words he felt again. Senior Ellen must have been so dumbfounded by this situation, she just watched him as he walked away.

‘I have charisma.’

After sending off the two ladies, I hurriedly entered the palace. It’s a pity that I just sent two beautiful ladies from the Empire, but it doesn’t matter because I imprinted my face on them. Because there is no woman who does not fall for me when she sees me.

‘It’s better than the vulgar women I met earlier.’

Did you say mercenaries? He was stuck next to some insignificant man, so I asked him to help him, but he ended up being kicked out of the door. To be honest, it wasn’t even my taste.

‘For now, let’s be patient.’

After arriving at the palace, the place I head straight to is the place where Her Highness the Queen is. The Queen has everything in this kingdom, but if there’s one thing she doesn’t have, it’s me. She couldn’t have me

“Your Highness, the kingdom’s knight, Deen von Serendir, requests to see you.”

“Please stop by.”

The door to Her Highness’s office opens before long. Upon entering, His Highness was looking at me.

‘As expected.’

I’m sure His Highness likes me too. It’s just that you’re not able to express it.

But what can I do? There is a status in this world. If so, if she does the feat of expressing her heart to me, she’s done.

‘It’s a common story.’

A love story between a knight and a queen. Isn’t that a common scenario in books? This is probably her storyline for me and her and her and her workplace.

“What are you doing here?”

“I want to be of help to Your Highness.”

“What help?”

“I want to kill the governor of the kingdom, Aran von Roberteyn, who killed the Minister of Defense for no reason.”

My skills are enough. Because I am an excellent knight even in the kingdom. I heard that Aran’s status was a commoner in the kingdom, right? There is no possibility that I will lose to such a commoner.

“Specifically, do you have any plans?”

“Of course.”

Look. Isn’t the queen also interested? Obviously, it is clear that she also has feelings for me. Through this opportunity, kill the governor of Aran and connect with Her Highness the Queen.

Ah, there were also the women of the empire I met earlier. Those women would fall in love with me if they saw me like this.

‘Well, what if I fall into the eyes of the emperor of the empire?’

I imagined myself entering the empire. The women of the empire who greeted me, and the men who looked at me with jealous eyes. Really, it’s not a pleasant feeling.
