Chapter 100.1: Good Children (12)
The orc shook his head.
It was unthinkable. A knight with intellectual culture was as unlikely as an orc who believed in God.
Do you understand the current situation?
The orc cleared his throat to enlighten this young knight. The knight was brave and strong, but apparently still lacked the ability to see the bigger picture.
It was understandable.
Most people only saw what was immediately before them. Only a few wise individuals could see the broader future.
Huh. . . Alright. Let me explain. Repiata-gong has received Umdim city. What does this mean?
Does it mean that His Grace the duke is going to start a serious competition among the stars of the family? Umdim is a threatening place, so managing it well could be a way to demonstrate ones abilities.
. . . . . .
Am I right? I just thought of it and said it.
. . .T-That. . . Yes. Thats what I was about to talk about.
The orc said, hiding his surprise.
Why would the stars of the Brduhe family leave their own fief to stay in the dukes palace? To catch the dukes eye more often. The situation around Repiata-gong is similar. Now that Umdim has been obtained, many places will arise for the capable to shine. Its time to boldly step forward, isnt it?
Hmm. I see.
Do you understand what Im saying? Thats why, instead of looking at the fiefdom now, you should quickly find a place near the duke and show your face more often. You are lucky. You have made such achievements this time, and Repiata-gong thinks highly of you. Its important to establish your position at such times. . .
The orcs words were not wrong. Lower nobles who did not inherit a fiefdom needed to catch the eyes of higher nobles to advance.
Those gathered near Repiata had similar motives. Of course, it wasnt that they lacked loyalty to Repiata.
But apart from loyalty, its natural for people to have ambitions for the future.
Each had their own desired future and ambitions for staying close to it.
I heard you received the position of standard-bearer from the duke. But relying on that and having expectations is too impractical. Look. The standard-bearer is honorable and splendid, but its substance is not that great. Moreover, there are many who have served loyally for more than a decade near the duke. Whom would the duke care for first? No matter how great your achievements, there are limits.
All of this was a desperate attempt to get noticed.
However, Johan did not think it was necessary. Especially in the case of Repiata.
, .
Checking the fiefdom and inspecting the mercenaries seemed like a more worthwhile task.
Of course, since my fief is not too far, I intend to cooperate with the governance as much as possible. That should be enough.
I-Is that so
Somehow, the conversation had taken a turn where the orc seemed to be trying to pull Johan in.
Even though that wasnt the intention.
?
Returning to our earlier conversation, do you have anyone in mind who could be recommended as an administrator?
. . .Are you seriously asking me that now? Are you sincere?
The orc was flustered. Was this a suggestion that he would appoint the orc as an administrator?
Usually, they would choose a young lower noble who had studied, or a priest skilled in numbers. . .
I dont care much about status if they are only good at numbers. But if they are worse at calculations than me, thats a problem
Are you good at calculations?
Johan looked at him intently. The orc spoke again, scared.
I didnt mean to insult you! I was just surprised and asked.
Im better than most since I learned from a priest skilled in arithmetic.
. . .Ill give you a problem. A person bequeathed one gold coin and one-seventh of the remainder to the eldest, then two coins and one-seventh of the remainder to the second, and so on in the same way to the youngest, resulting in an equal distribution for all. How many children and how many gold coins
6 children and 36 coins. And if youre not going to introduce someone smart, could you stop the pointless talk?
