The operation has begun.
This is not something that will have immediate results.
This matter will remain quiet for the time being.
Just in time, I confirmed with Kriemhild the information about the neighboring tribes.
There is a good chance that they will come into contact with us in the aftermath of this operation.
There are about five tribes, each with more than 300 people.
They are of various races.
Even Abraham couldn’t get it.
They are aware of our existence, but they don’t care much about us.
That makes me wonder if I should approach them.
While I was worrying about this, I received a report from Charles.
A man claiming to be the third child of Dorius wanted to seek refuge in Ravenna.
This was unexpected ……
Charles looked puzzled.
I’m confused, too.
This is the effect of being on the lookout.
“I wonder if it’s true …… I don’t think there’s any way to confirm that. By the way, was he alone?”
Charles opened his mouth with a puzzled look on his face.
“He was alone. He’s not of high status, but …… If he’s alone, good clothes will make him stand out. Would you like me to confirm it from the prisoners?”
“I don’t think they’ll be able to talk to each other beforehand …… I guess that’s the only way. Refuge, huh.”
“I couldn’t believe my ears either when I heard that.”
“I’ll see him when we have some proof.”
Charles gave a small nod.
“If it’s true, he’ll be a great source of information.”
“Yes. If it’s real …… that is.”
◆◇◆◇◆
After Charles left, I felt like I was lost in a maze of thoughts.
I think I’ll ask Mil and Kiara for their opinions as well, just for a change of pace.
The two of them have been struggling with the choice of secretaries.
“What do you both think?”
Mil thought about it for a moment.
“I think it’s a bit out of the ordinary …… The third son has security, right? Then he came here alone after running away?”
Kiara furrowed her brow.
“It is possible that someone who has been going around in Dorius’ domain is telling lies. But I think it’s unlikely that they are spies or agents.”
That’s true.
It’s very possible.
“If that’s the case, it’s dangerous to extract information from him. There is a possibility that some people really believe the lies that they are telling ……”
Mil looked troubled.
“It’s good if we could tell if it’s a lie …… But if it’s a lie, won’t they find out somewhere?”
That’s usually the case.
“The problem here is that we don’t know their world …… If we were in the same society, we could understand some of it. We don’t have the cards in hand to make a decision ……”
Kiara looks a bit thoughtful.
“You don’t know the beastmen who want to emigrate. If we ask the upper echelons of society …… At least you can tell if it’s a lie told by an ordinary person. I don’t know if the human prisoners are upper echelon, though.”
i knew that would be the case.
“You’re right …… There is no way to know for sure, so we’ll just have to be steady and check.”
Of course, there are no silver bullets lying around.
If there is only that, it is a versatile means to solve everything ……
There’s no such thing in any world, though.
“Al, would you mind listening to what we have to say?”
Mil’s words brought me back to reality.
Ahhhh …… That’s right, I remember they’re having trouble choosing people.
“I would never turn you down.”
Mil smiled and nodded.
“Thank you, I’m in the process of selecting my secretaries …… I think I’d like to have two or three for the both of us.”
Kiara continued with a puzzled look on her face.
“4 to 6 people, increasing at once and teaching …… I’m not sure if I can judge their work ……”
I see.
It’s true that if you work while teaching, you’ll lose a lot of efficiency.
“The two of you don’t have a clearly defined job description at the moment, do you?”
They both nodded.
If so, there’s a way to do it.
“One of you will take care of the tasks that must not be delayed. For the other, why don’t you just educate them based on the work that can be delayed?”
Both of them looked like they didn’t notice that.
I followed up with a wry smile.
“It’s hard to make a drastic change. You can’t help it that you didn’t notice.”
The two of them looked at each other and were disappointed.
Maybe it was bad, but Mil stuck her tongue out a little.
“I didn’t think of that …… As expected, it’s better to consult with Al if we have trouble.”
Kiara also put her hand on her chest and sighed exaggeratedly.
“Brother’s Study is such a deep field ……”
I don’t even feel like retorting from inside my head anymore.
I don’t know if this is what you call losing your patience.
Never mind that.
I should warn the two of them.
“Perhaps …… Are you two trying to appoint a demon who has just arrived…… to a position such as chief secretary?”
The two of them looked at each other.
They must have realized from my tone that it was not a good idea.
Mil gives me a curious look.
“I guess that’s a no. I was hoping that if we did it, it would help them fit in faster.”
I know what you’re thinking.
“They don’t know where’s right and left. Suddenly being exposed to the whole information will only confuse them. If they’re not good, they’ll be crushed by the pressure. Secondly, I wonder what other people would think about it …… If you have a special seat just because you’re a demon, you’ll end up like the apostles.”
The two of them were blatantly depressed.
I guess I shouldn’t have said it that way ……
I scratched my head and tried to keep my tone as gentle as possible.
“It’s okay to appoint them as assistant secretary. They can read and write, and they probably have a basic education. If you’re going to appoint someone as the chief, you need to be able to explain to everyone why you did it. You consulted me because you had doubts about whether they should be made chief as it is …… didn’t you?”
Mil looked a little apologetic.
“Yes. At first, I thought it was a good idea, but …… I wondered if it was really a good idea considering the nature of the work they would be teaching.”
Kiara’s shoulders slumped as well.
“I thought it would be good for the person, but it turns out to be a nuisance. I’m still inexperienced.”
No …… Kiara, you’re only fifteen.
“It will be fine if you gain experience like that. It would be the first time for both of you to have a direct subordinate too. Kiara’s ears move when I tell them to, so they’re a little different. In that sense, they are your first subordinates without my intervention. I’m sure you two will do fine.”
The two of them seemed relieved.
Mil also looked at me, feeling a little better.
“So, if we need to talk about anything when we are alone, please let me know.”
I was about to open my mouth to say yes, but Kiara interrupted me.
“It’s not fair. Then, you won’t want to listen to your beloved sister’s consultation?”
Then she turned her moist eyes to me.
“No, of course, I’ll take both of your consultations, but ……. Don’t fight me about time allocation or anything like that ……”
And then Mickey gets tired of seeing this scene.
He was in charge of today’s escort.
“It’s not easy being a feudal lord. Some people call you the legendary counselor.”
Aren’t the nicknames increasing?
Mickey smirked at my astonished face.
“Didn’t you know that? He can help you with your relationships, love problems, and tomorrow’s weather. That’s what they’re saying.”
Where did the weather and other weird psychic powers come from!
