The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (221)

Development (1)

We arrived at Fort Pewing. It was a journey that took more than two weeks. However, since it was a large-scale force of 550 people, the journey was not difficult.

“Is it true that people only become famous and see things?”

Benio seemed to understand why the martial artists were so obsessed with nicknames and fame. When he first went to Pinguis Village to become the village chief, Benio was treated as an ignorant nobleman who had become the grand prince by luck.

The vassals who ruled the towns and territories they passed through on their way here were vassals of Duke Kepler, not Benio, so they treated Benio with affection.

Even though he was the Grand Duke, there were those who unknowingly ignored Benio because of his notoriety and young age.

But this time, it’s different.

Not a single noble dared to show the same attitude as before when he was visited by Archduke Benio, who was accompanied by two hundred soldiers and was now known as a high-ranking expert knight.

I was able to truly experience the fame that had grown significantly through the Roche Festival.

Rather, everyone was busy keeping an eye on Benio. In just one month, including the ten days of the Roche Festival and the time it took to get there and back, Benio’s reputation within the duchy rose sharply.

“They say a horse without legs can travel a thousand miles.”

They say that whatever happens in the central power of the empire spreads throughout the empire in less than three days, and it was true.

Benio was now starting to be treated with dignity as the legitimate successor to the Duke’s throne. But that also brought with it some difficulties.

‘I wish the young ladies would refrain from physically attacking each other.’

Benio is still single. There is talk of a match, but no one has officially been confirmed as a match.

Of course, there were rumors of scandals with the youngest member of the imperial family, Princess Veronica, and the Princess of Orange, but none of them were proven to be true.

“Diato, go and tell them. The village chief of Pinguis Village is passing by.”

Benio arrived at Fort Pewing and sent Diato. As soon as he sent Diato, the gates of Fort Pewing opened wide. No, not only that, the fort commander himself came out and welcomed Benio.

“Nice to meet you, Grand Duke Benio. My name is Hans, the newly appointed fort commander.”

“Where is Prince Creas going?”

“His Majesty the Count has summoned the Prince and transferred him to another post.”

It’s a war.

Benio smiled brightly. Thanks to his friendship with Benio, he had obtained the Balmosu. He was acknowledging his contribution. Furthermore, Count Reguilon had a precise understanding of the future value of the Balmosu.

‘He introduced me to many nobles.’

Count Reguilon was a politician who was well-versed in central politics. It is unlikely that he would have shown kindness to Benio simply because of a single balmosa.

There was something he wanted, and Benio could guess what it was.

‘Do you want the benefits of hair growth?’

That is what Benio also wants. The village of Pinguis is surrounded by the Count of Reguilon. After all, he has no choice but to board the same ship as Count Reguilon.

‘Creas will be in charge.’

Benio nodded. After that, Benio said goodbye to the fort commander who was sending him off with a solemn farewell, saying that he had received a word from Creas, and continued to advance.

And the next day.

Finally back in Pinguis Village.

“It feels like I’ve been away for a year.”

“Is that so, my lord? Me too.”

“however.”

It’s only been a month.

It’s only been a month, but the reason Pinguis Village looks different isn’t because Benio’s eyes are strange.

“Right now. Is that the line? Are you trying to enter the Pinguis Village?”

Benio’s eyes caught sight of a long line forming to enter Pinguis Village.

* * *

Move!!

slowly!

Put them away one by one!

There! Don’t get out of alignment!

Tick ​​tock tock.

The village of Pinguis was changing terribly. In just a month, the skeleton of a building I had never seen before had been built.

Benio stuck out his tongue. This made it seem like the time he had been away had been a year, not a month.

“The town has changed a lot.”

“Isn’t it just me who thinks that?”

“No way.”

At that moment, someone was standing in front of the village entrance. I looked up with my eyes wide open and saw Mr. Bollito, Lord Ambulan, and Butler Fils waiting for me and Benio.

“Mr. Bollito!”

“My lord. Did you arrive safely?”

“There was no need for Sir Amblan and Butler Fils to be present.”

Benio smiled awkwardly. The way they looked at Benio was warm and proud. Perhaps it was because they had heard rumors about Benio’s performance at the Roche Festival.

“No. I really wanted to congratulate you on your first return, my lord.”

“Return. It’s grand.”

“It was truly a grand thing for the lord to exalt his name.”

Mr. Bollito smiled. It was a smile that left Benio speechless.

“Come inside, my lord. Sir Amblan, please lead the troops together with Sir Luten. Steward Fils, I leave the people to you.”

At Bollito’s words, Lord Ambulan and Butler Fils readily agreed. It was felt that the relationship between Bollito and the other vassals had grown stronger over the past month.

“I will guide you.”

“great.”

Benio got off his horse. Tony took the reins. Tony was covered in dirt, but just as Benio said, Tony devoted himself to training every single day.

Diato was further stimulated by seeing Tony like that, and without knowing it, Diato and Tony were aware of each other and made Benio keep his promise.

“Are all those people trying to come into the village?”

“Yes. They are all servants of the upper class or noble families.”

“Ha. I lit the fire properly.”

It’s because of the hair growth. People who heard rumors about the hair growth or saw its effectiveness with their own eyes sent people to the village of Pinguis.

Tick ​​tock tock.

Oh my!

Going up!!!

The inside of Pinguis Village was very lively. Buildings were going up here and there with a clicking sound. And most of the villagers were employed at the site and were sweating bullets.

“The employment rate is over 50%.”

“Half?”

“Yes. Thanks to the fact that my lord did not spare any effort.”

It was clear that Bolito was smiling, but there was a grain of truth to his words. Benio’s generous wage policy was clearly a factor in his loss of 300,000 gold.

“Ahem. But don’t you agree, sir? In order to get the domestic economy going, we need to raise the income level.”

“Yes. I said nothing, my lord.”

Bollito stepped back angrily. Benio licked his lips.

“It seems like there are more people.”

“There was almost no influx of refugees. However, we accepted mercenaries like Mr. Girdan who wanted to settle in this village. And most of all, the laborers mobilized for construction sites are temporarily staying in the village, and the guests from the merchants and noble families are staying longer.”

So, it’s because of Benio.

“Hmm. I guess I won’t have time to rest.”

“I’m sorry, but yes, my lord. You have a lot of work to do.”

Bollito’s eyes sparkled. It was as if he had been waiting for Benio to come. Benio smiled awkwardly.

“Ah. Before that.”

Benio called the people he should introduce to Bollito.

“Ginger. You know?”

“Oh, this person?”

Ginger, who had been claiming to be Benio’s coachman the whole way, appeared surprised to find out that Ginger was a woman.

“You Bollito?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Thank you. You helped me through a very difficult time.”

Ginger threw herself into Benio, but that didn’t mean her personality had changed. But now that they were on the same boat, Ginger cleanly got her debt back with just one growl at Bolito.

“This is Bernanke.”

“….”

Bernanke was a man of few words. He had lived his entire life in the net. Bolitto also nodded when he saw Bernanke, who appeared from the shadows in a pitch-black suit.

“And here. Hailey.”

“Oh, hello.”

Hailey nodded to Bollito. Behind her, Julia, who was acting as Hailey’s mother, nodded.

“It’s complicated, but he’s a talent with a very promising future.”

“This is him.”

Bollito smiled. Haley couldn’t raise her head, looking embarrassed. Benio put a hand on Haley’s shoulder.

“I will teach you for the time being. I will send you when you are ready.”

“I look forward to it, my lord.”

Hailey looked at Benio in surprise at the news that Benio would teach her personally. Benio winked at Hailey.

“If you have Guillermo del Toro and Bernanke, they would be a great help in building up the information network for the time being.”

“I see. That will give me some breathing room.”

To a strategist, the absence of information must have felt like having his eyes blindfolded and his hands tied. At least their capabilities were certain, so Bolitto smiled broadly.

“The selection of those who will be used as informants has also been completed. They all have families.”

Ginger and Bernanke can’t do everything. That’s why I’ve selected ten informants who will be their right-hand men. I’ve specifically selected those who have families.

This time, Benio brought the families of the soldiers who had been convicts from Casa Kepler. This was like killing two birds with one stone.

It was like buying the loyalty of those who became informants, and at the same time taking them hostage in case of their betrayal.

After a while, Benio arrived at the two-story house. However, the appearance of the two-story house had changed a lot. It was just an ordinary house, but it had been transformed into a decent mansion.

“I paid special attention to this place.”

“Is this your face?”

“You will have to take care of business here for the time being until we build a new residence.”

It seems to have been expanded, doubling in size. It is said that the surrounding houses were demolished after compensation was paid to secure space.

Bollito smiled brightly and said to Benio.

“Your Majesty will not be able to leave the mansion for a while, so wouldn’t it be less frustrating if it were a little bigger?”

The smiling face of Bollito was scary. Benio nodded like a doll at his force.

And Bollito’s words became reality.

* * *

People came and went into the mansion without stopping for a moment.

Their goal was all the same.

Hair growth.

Among them were high-ranking nobles who could be recognized by name alone. However, Benio had to send them all back on good terms unless he had personally promised.

Because the hair growth was only planned to be distributed through the upper part of Kepler.

When they heard that they could buy it through Kepler’s top, most of the people waiting turned back without saying a word. Even if they appealed that they had waited for a long time, the other party was the Archduke of the Kepler family.

After two days, the number of people waiting decreased. But Benio knew that not everyone had returned.

This is because Ginger, who had started gathering information on the village of Pinguis with ten members of the organization, received a report that there were people who were not leaving and were continuing to stay.

Their goal is one of two things.

Those who are waiting for the Kepler top and want to buy the balmosa here as soon as possible.

Or maybe you are someone who wants to know the secrets of hair growth.

However, Benio did not force them out. The longer they stayed, the more money they would spend in Pinguis Village, so there was no harm in it.

And the next day, the person I was waiting for arrived.

“Meet the Archduke.”

“Uncle.”

The Kepler upper stage arrived right away. Bonin, the upper stage owner, personally stepped forward and led the ascent. It was a kind of publicity. It was to show the world that the upper stage owner of the Kepler upper stage was something worth stepping up for.

But there was a familiar face next to Bonin.

“you are?”

“Hello, Your Highness. My name is Paul, and I am in charge of the Pinguis branch of the Kepler battlefield.”

Paul is the branch manager of the Academy branch. Thanks to him, Benio brought Chris Junior in as a vassal. That’s how he came to be the branch manager of Pinguis Village.

The Kepler battlefield is essential for large-scale trade. The presence or absence of a Kepler battlefield can have a significant impact on the economy of the region.

Benio looked at Bonin Kepler.

“Uncle, thank you.”

“I am glad that I could help your Highness.”

And there is no Kepler battlefield in the nearby territory. The fact that such a Kepler battlefield was created in the village of Pinguis, which has a population of less than 500, has several meanings.

The most notable of these is that the merchants and merchants will gather where the Kepler battlefield is. Of course, it is likely that Bonin himself took the initiative because having the Kepler battlefield here is also good for the Kepler merchants.

It’s a win-win, Bonin told Benio.

“I would like to check the items quickly.”

He is a merchant through and through. Balmosu is the product that will take Kepler’s top to another level. So I had to get my body moving to see it.

Benio smiled and said to Bonin.

“Then go see the hair removal machine, uncle. I will show you around.”
