During Mireille’s stay in Alcantes, I had conducted several recruitment campaigns.
During Mireille’s stay in Alcantes, I had conducted several recruitment campaigns.
At the moment, I was in my office, checking the documents describing the abilities of the personnel.
ā€œArs-sama, did any of the recruits meet your criteria this time?ā€ (Ritsu)
Ritsu asked, but I could only shake my head.
ā€œNo, there weren’t any this time either… No matter how many appraisals I do, it’s only luck whether good people will come or not… I’ll just have to keep looking patiently.ā€
ā€œWell… it would be great if Mireille succeeded in recruiting his younger brotherā€¦ā€ (Ritsu)
ā€œTo be honest, I don’t have high hopes for her… I don’t think Mireille is the right person to recruit people, no matter how well she knows her brotherā€¦ā€
ā€œI agree with you.ā€ (Ritsu)\n
Ritsu agreed with my opinion.
ā€œBy the way, what about Verge, the guy I put under Ritsu?Ā Do you think he can be an asset?ā€
ā€œYes. He is a very intelligent man, and he is very witty, so he helps me a lot. He talks a little too much, but that’s one of his strong points. Even now, he handles complaints from the townspeople and deals with merchants who come from outside.ā€ (Ritsu)
I was a little relieved to hear that Verge was helping Ritsu. I also knew that if they didn’t get along, it might be a drag down everyone around them.
ā€œWell, I have less work, and I am feeling a little unsatisfiedā€¦ā€ (Ritsu)
Ritsu said.
You feel unsatisfied with less work… Ritsu may be a workaholic.
ā€œArs-sama, may I enter?ā€ (Vassal)
A voice said, from the other side of the office door.\nIt was the voice of a castle servant. So, I permitted them to enter.
ā€œMireille-sama has arrived. May I let her through?ā€ (Vassal)
Mireille, who had been to Alcantes, seems to have just returned.
Did she bring Thomas with her?
ā€œI have time. Bring her to me.ā€
ā€œUnderstood.ā€ (Vassal
I instructed.
A few minutes later, Mireille came to the office.
ā€œI’m home!ā€
She came in with a cheerful look.\nVisit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
I wondered if this was a success.
ā€œHow was it?ā€
ā€œHmm? I brought him. Hey come on in.ā€ (Mireille)
Mireille urged, and a large man walked into the office.
There was no doubt.
I had seen him before when I captured Thomas and brought him to the Starts Castle, so I remembered his appearance.
I even did a quick appraisal.
The high-spec status that I had seen then was displayed.
ā€œWell, I’m Ars Louvent, the mayor of Canale County.ā€
ā€œā€¦Oh yeah, the child from back then.ā€ (Thomas)
\nThomas looked at me and said so.
I don’t remember him seeing me when we first met, but he seemed to have recognized me.
ā€œCan I assume that you have come here with the intention of becoming my vassal?ā€
Thomas shook his head.
What?Ā You don’t want to be my vassal?
ā€œI can’t swear allegiance to you at this time, but I will work for this estate for a while. If you are not a worthy lord, I will leave this place immediately. Of course, if you find me incompetent, you can have my head cut off immediately.ā€ (Thomas)
So, probation of some sort?
I’m sure Mireille has told Thomas a lot about my appraisal skills, but even so, to Thomas, I’m probably just a kid right now.
I don’t know if he’ll acknowledge me, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
ā€œI understand. I’ll do my best and make you recognize me as your lord.ā€Ā
