◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (184)
The ‘central guys’ that came out of Seyla’s mouth refer to the nobles who hold central power in the capital.
“No, to be exact, the guys who used to follow Prince Byron started to keep an eye on you.”
“……yes?”
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Saila asked, seeing Lian’s expression as if she had not expected it at all.
“Have you ever thought that there are other nobles keeping you in check?”
“……Rather than that, I know that there were nobles who were dissatisfied with the title I received and the land I was given.”
Even so, he said that since the territory that Lian was granted was Adelant, it passed without any major problems.
There’s no particular reason for them to keep an eye on Lian.
Saila smiled bitterly at Lian’s words.
“Haven’t things changed?”
“What’s happening in the capital?”
“No, that’s not what I meant. What I said changed was about Adelant.”
“……Adelant has changed?”
Nod.
Adelant, despite its fertile soil surrounding it, was a land that could not live up to its value due to monsters.
Since it was a useless land, giving it to Lian was able to somewhat quell the discontent of the other nobles.
“Didn’t you drive out all those monsters? Adelant is no longer classified as a low-class territory like it used to be. It has some geographical regrets, being located in the north, but if you look at the territory itself, it can be considered a high-class territory.”
Rather, it was Lian’s competence that aroused the discontent of the nobles in the capital… … no, to be precise, the nobles who had followed Prince Byron and then surrendered to Prince Ethan.
“Well… there’s talk inside that we have to reclaim the territory again, but that’s nonsense.”
Seyla frowned and clicked her tongue at their petty ways. Then she spoke to Lian.
“Anyway, there’s a lot of talk in the capital because of that. And because of that, they do some ridiculous things.”
“Is that nonsense…?”
“I brought someone with me.”
Squeak.
At the same time, someone else opened the door to the VIP room and came in.
The moment Lian’s head turned towards the door,
“……to?”
A face that looks familiar.
Within moments, Lian’s eyes shook slightly.
“Princess Release……?”
Princess Lilith of the Meladion Kingdom. And then there’s Prince Greg, the second son of King Meladion.
Lian looked at Seyla.
Looking at Seyla’s embarrassed expression, it seemed clear to me that I knew.
What are the nobles who hold central power trying to do?
“Are you planning to send Princess Volmoin Lilith and Prince Greg to Adelant to watch over this place?”
“It seems so. I brought those two for now, but soon someone on their side will come here as a watcher.”
I think I know why Seyla suddenly came without any contact.
The purpose was to inform Lian of this fact in advance and give her time to prepare.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“I’m sorry, this is all I can do for you.”
“No, first of all… would you like to rest? Or would you like to take a look around Adelant?”
“If you’d show me around, I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a look around. The people I saw on the short road to get here all looked happy.”
What Lian has accomplished in the short time he has been in Adelant is incredible.
You could tell just by looking at the expressions on people’s faces as they walked down the street.
Lian smiled faintly at him.
“It’s thanks to everyone’s help.”
“Humility. Go out, I wonder what the changed Adelant will be like.”
Lian left Lilith and Greg in the care of Diehl and took Sayla to explore Adelant.
Adelant has changed quite a bit since Lian came.
In terms of external appearance, barracks were built for the Arrowhead unit members to stay in, and their families moved in with them, increasing the number of people.
But the best change of all was this.
“……As expected, the people’s expressions look good. What on earth did you do to the monsters?”
“I was lucky.”
“Luck? No way, hehe. There’s no way you’d do things based solely on luck, right?”
Lian hesitated for a moment, but then explained to Seyla what had happened with the black orc tribe.
As the explanation continued, Seyla’s expression changed to one of shock.
“……You mean you formed an alliance with the Orc tribe?”
“Rather than an alliance, it was a deal where we could receive help where needed.”
“Isn’t that an alliance?”
What surprised Seyla was not the alliance with monsters and such.
The very act of forming an alliance with monsters was surprising.
Isn’t that essentially creating a third power?
‘It is a free thinking that is not bound by stereotypes.’
Even he himself could not think of forming an alliance with the orc tribe.
No, I wouldn’t have even thought of having a conversation in the first place.
“That’s the secret to achieving these results in such a short period of time.”
amazing.
I can only say that it is amazing.
Lian, who had been worried about Seila’s reaction, soon felt relieved when he saw Seila’s brightened expression.
Looking at Lian like that, Saila said firmly.
“Just in case, make sure to hide this fact from the watchers who come after you. The Black Orc tribe may be said to have great intelligence, but they are still monsters. The fact that they trade with monsters is bound to make them good prey.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“……I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you. However, His Majesty is also seeking ways to protect you in various ways, so please endure for a little longer.”
“yes!”
Seila smiled at Lian’s answer and started looking back at Adelant along with him.
As the sun was slowly setting, Lian parted ways with Seyla and returned to his office. As he sat down, he thought back on the conversation he had had with Seyla.
Although it seemed that the central power of the nobles was more restrained than expected, there were still many who viewed Lian favorably.
But apart from that, I have worked hard and overcome countless dangers for the sake of the kingdom.
‘In the end, does that mean their power comes before the kingdom?’
I couldn’t completely erase the bitter feeling. But there was no need to keep thinking about bad things.
Because worrying about it now won’t change the outcome.
“Lord Lian.”
“DL?”
It’s not that late, but it’s the time when most work is done and people do their personal chores.

Lian got up from her seat as she saw DL suddenly appearing.
“Are you still working?”
“Yes, well… I’m just continuing to take it easy.”
“I always say this, but don’t forget that taking care of your body is also part of your job. You don’t want to collapse if you overwork yourself.”
“Don’t worry.”
“But what’s going on?”
“that is…….”
Suddenly.
As DL hesitated for a moment, the door opened wide and Greg came into Ryan’s office.
“Didn’t you say it would only take a moment?”
Behind Greg, who suddenly raises his voice and speaks, Lilith appears.
That one scene was enough to give a good idea of what was going on.
“DL, go and rest.”
“……yes.”
As DL left, Lian saw Greg lighting a twin flame at the door.
In contrast to his angry expression, Lilith had a blank expression, just like when she had seen him in passing before.
‘You’re the Ice Princess.’
Even when I asked Seyla, she said that she had never seen anyone smile or get angry.
Ryan stood up and looked at Greg and Lilith.
“What’s going on?”
“Are you the lord of this place?”
“Please sit down.”
Ryan brushed Greg’s words aside and sat down on the sofa in his office.
Greg sat down, still looking angry, and spoke to Ryan.
“I saw the house I’m going to stay in today. But what the heck happened?”
“Is there a problem?”
“You dare give me a house that only the commoners would live in? How could I, the prince of the Meladion Kingdom, live in such a place? I didn’t even receive such treatment in the capital.”
“……So you’re saying that you came to me to complain because you don’t like the mansion you’re staying in?”
under?
For a moment, Lian looked at Greg in absurd circumstances.
The release next to me had a blank expression on her face, so I couldn’t tell if she was positive or negative about the opinion.
Lian’s expression hardened coldly.
“Hey, Ballmo.”
“……!”
Did you really expect me to say the word “ball”?
Greg looked at Ryan, wincing.
A flushed and bluish complexion that seemed flustered but also as if she might explode with anger at any moment.
Lian continued talking without caring.
“If you’ve been captured as a hostage, you should have read the mood and behaved appropriately… Have you lost your mind? Or are you planning to come to your senses by throwing you in a cold dungeon and feeding you moldy bread?”
“Hey, hey, hey, have you ever seen such a crazy guy!”
The mansion that Ryan provided for Greg is larger than the residence where Ryan is staying.
I thought he was being considerate, but it’s absurd that he’s nitpicking without any consideration for my situation.
Lian said, getting up from her seat.
“Go back to where you were. If you ever act rude like that again, I’ll make you realize what it means to be a scapegoat.”
“Profit-! How dare you……!”
Greg was furious, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do.
Greg got up from his seat, glared at Ryan, then roughly closed the door and went out.
Bow.
At that sight, Lilith looked in the direction Greg had gone, then bowed her head to Lian.
“I’m sorry. I’m not normally like that, but I think I’ve become more sensitive since I came here.”
“……?”
According to Seila, even in the capital, she didn’t say a single word, let alone change her expression…
“No, I was rude too. Please forgive me, and if there is anything that makes you uncomfortable, please let me know at any time.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
With those words, Lilith also left the office.
It feels like the storm has passed, but I’m more worried about what’s to come.
As Seyla said, if other Watchers start coming, then they’ll start nitpicking about various situations.
“I have to make it more perfect.”
First of all, the relationship with Takuman had to be thoroughly hidden, and at the same time, the affairs related to the northern evil clans had to be investigated.
It was because of the location of Adelant.
Adelant was located in the northeastern part of the Artian Kingdom.
The border with the Baroque kingdom was quite far to the east, but not too far from the northern border.
The upper part of Adelant on the map was the territory of the Northeastern Hordes, and recently, reports have been coming in that the quiet Northeastern Hordes are slowly moving south.
‘Is it because of the Baroque Kingdom?’
Van Diezel of the Baroque Kingdom, whom we met in Parcontium.
I’ve heard before that he’s been wiping out the bad guys in the northeast.
The fact that they are moving towards Adelant, where there was relatively little damage from the hordes, must be related to that.
“There’s a lot to do.”
But first, let’s focus on dealing with what has happened rather than what hasn’t happened.
Lian called DL right away.
“Did you call?”
“Diel, we have to go to Belotra.”
“Already?”
DL looked a little surprised.
There was something Lian discussed with Belotra a while ago.
At the time, I thought it was quite a distant event, so I didn’t pay much attention to it…
At DL’s question, Lian stood up from her seat.
“I think I’ll have to move things along faster than I thought. Do you think it’ll be possible?”
If you are subject to the restraints of other nobles without properly equipping yourself with power, it could hinder the development of Adelant.
‘Then we have no choice but to move first.’
It may be a little early, but I don’t think it will be a big problem.
Lian waited for DL’s answer.
Above all, as a strategist for the Arrowhead Unit, I was the one who thought about this plan together.
DL nodded readily to Lian’s question.
“It is quite possible.”
At those words, a long wrinkle formed at the corner of Lian’s mouth.
