Chapter 71: 71
The territory of Turbequista, ruled by the Plaid family, is not that far away because it is within the same county of Canale.\n
It is far enough away to take less than a day if you hurry.
I accompanied Reeds and the others with escorts and drove my horse to Torbekista.
It was that evening that we left early in the morning to arrive.
“It’s been a while. Dear Ars, I wanted to see you.”
Lisia picked me up.
It’s been about two months since I’ve seen her.
Well, it’s been a long time, if you say so.
Since I have been on boulders for two months, there has been no bigger and more apparent change than before, but I seem to have been quite attentive to my clothes and wear a luxurious dress.
“Long time no see”
Licia then politely greets Leeds and my ministers.
I’ll show you to the mansion.
Follow Lisia’s guide to the mansion.
The Plaid family mansion looked a little older than the Rovent family mansion.
The flowers that Licia thinks are growing around her are blooming beautifully. \nIt is now February 10, and in season it is autumn. Many flowers wither away when it gets cold, but a wide variety of flowers were still blooming at this time of year.
Into the mansion.
The conditions inside, for example, were not significantly different from the Lamberg family mansion.
We were let through in the reception room.
“Hey, you’ve come a lot, Mr. Ars. You’re welcome.”
Hamand greeted us with a smile.
“Long time no see, Master Hamand, and thank you for your permission to visit today.”
“No, no, I missed you, too. Call me.”
Hamand urged me to sit in the chair, so I sit.
Lisia laid her back on the chair next to Hamand.
“I’m sorry we don’t have any hospitality. Because it said you didn’t have to entertain me in your letter, and I thought it would be rude to give a floating mood to talk about war.”
“No, as for this one, I just wanted to say thank you for listening.”
“So shall we get down to business quickly? It said that Lisia needs to be present, but what does that mean?”
I explained that Clan was looking for an adjunct to the negotiations for the future with the Emperor and the Governor of Paradise, and recommended Lisia to the Clan. \nListening to me, Lisia and Hamand seem very surprised, with their eyes round.
“… Lysia to such a big actor? Is that an order from Master Klan?
“It’s more in the form of a recommendation I made than an order. He didn’t want the clan to be forced to obey, and he asked if he could get permission from both of you.”
“Hmm right… but can you help Lysia negotiate… she’s only thirteen years old and inexperienced in public affairs… and a long journey could be dangerous”
I expected Hamand to show difficulty, but he was right.
“I feel that Master Liscia has a very high political talent. It will also be enough to play a major role. And it’s dangerous, but the clan wants your son to turn to the negotiator, so we think security will be strong.”
Incidentally, Lisia’s current political power is 89. It hasn’t reached 90 yet, but it’s expensive enough.
“Hmm… I was also a parent of Lisia, and I was aware that I had a special talent in Lisia. If the escort is also a stone… well, it could be a good experience for Lisia… maybe I could let her go”
And I seem to have reconsidered.
“Lisia, what do you think?
Hamand asked for Lisia’s will.
This is likely to happen if Lisia shakes her neck vertically.
Lisia thinks silently for a while.
And
\nThe problem is that I’m coming with you.
Inevitably, we will be vacating the house for a long time.
In the meantime, are you okay…?
“Leeds, do you think you’ll be all right about going with me?
Talk to Leeds in a low voice.
“Right. There are many inconveniences without Master Ars, but if you succeed, you will gain even more trust from your clan. Besides, I think it would also be a good experience for Master Ars to go over various lands such as the Empire City and the Paradise. Maybe we’ll meet some competent people we haven’t seen yet. I think you should go as far as I’m concerned.”
“Hmm…”
Well, if Leeds stays, you might not have to worry about the mansion.
The benefits of going, as Leeds said, are many.
“Okay. I drink on both terms.”
“Well, thank you. Now, as far as I’m concerned, I’d like to be assistant negotiator.”
and gave his permission with a smile on his face.
Hamand seems to have some complicated feelings as a father in the matter of marriage, but he gave me permission to say, “I have no differences either”.
It was settled that you would take on the discussion.
And I was supposed to accompany Lisia.
