Well, Baron Baumeister’s magic is convenient.” (Breithilde)
First I have decided to make some light chatter.
But, this teleportation magic is indeed very handy.
In normal case I would have to pay a lot of money to board the magic airship or spend time travelling by long-distance carriage to visit the capital.
I visit once a week.
In the morning of the weekly scheduled day, Baron Baumeister comes to pick me up in Breitburg.
And in the morning of another weekly scheduled day he sends me back to Breitburg. This lifestyle has continued for the last two and a half years.
Because I can got to work in the capital for around half a week, it’s really convenient.
I’m not just a high-ranking noble, but also acting as the leader of the southern nobles.
Until now I didn’t make such frequent appearance at the capital due to the distance.
In case of negotiating with the good-for-nothing nobles of the capital, it’s a lot more advantageous to make an appearance yourself rather than only through my chief vassal, who is permanently stationed at the capital.
It’s also easier to show your face for such things as socializing to strengthen your relationships and building new personal connections.
Even if I pay a large amount of money to Baron Baumeister, there are plenty of benefits.
“We also know that Margrave Breithilde-sama is requesting Wend to act as transporter, but…” (Erwin)
“Oh my, your worries seem to be more serious than I had imagined.” (Breithilde)
Three worried young lambs are seeking my consultation.
The first person is a friend from Baron Baumeister’s time at the adventurer prep school and is still 15 years old.
On top of being a member of the same party, he is also the junior leader of the retainers of the Baron Baumeister household, Erwin von Armin-kun.
He is the fifth son of a small Knight household in the western provinces. The circumstances at his birthplace aren’t that different from Baron Baumeister, I heard.
If it’s adventurer prep schools, there are plenty in the west, but even then he expressly chose the adventurer prep school at Breitburg with a reason.
That is, he left after he was shunned by his elder brothers due to his exceeding talent in swordsmanship. Such a story wasn’t particularly rare either.
In exchange he got to know Baron Baumeister.
The likes of me end up thinking that something like that was a good conclusion.
“Different from Ina and Luise, I am in a situation where consultation is impossible, but…” (Erwin)
“Please don’t worry about such a thing. You are Baron Baumeister’s retainer. If it’s a consultation with the retainer of my vassal, I will gladly accept it. Even though things may appear different now, I had continuous hardships in my twenties.” (Breithilde)
Even now the hardships are continuing, but a major point is that I got used them to a certain extent.
“Thank you very much.” (Erwin)
The remaining two, although I think it’s easy to imagine, are the 15-years old girls, Ina Susanne Hildbrun and Luise Jorlande Orphelia Orwin.
Both of them are daughters of my retainers.
Given that they are spearmanship instructors and magic combat style instructors, could you call them key figures of their families?
