Chereads / VIRIDESCENT CROWN / Chapter 53 - Chapter 53

Chapter 53 - Chapter 53

Daryl and Caruso chatted constantly taking over. No, it's mostly Caruso, and Daryl was just a match.

"Oh, my God. Are you really making this much? Hey, this--"

Caruso opened and closed his mouth and whispered.

"Isn't it better than imperial finance?"

"Maybe."

Eustaf shrugged and Daryl quickly looked at the numbers.

"It's well managed."

"This front is a mess. Let's just bury this."

Caruso frowned at the data that the former accountant had ironed. He laughed at the new accounting data.

"It's easy to see. Did you specify all the forms? That's nice."

"It's Noonim's idea."

"I see."

Caruso nodded and Daryl said curiously.

"I thought she'd object to bringing the two of us."

"Who?"

"Eustaf's Noonim."

"The Lord?"

"Why?"

Caruso opened his eyes wide and asked back, and Daryl murmured.

"I hope you're stupid."

Both were brought by Eustaf and could be said to be Eustaf's. And there is nothing more important in administration than accounting.

How important is holding the purse strings?

So, filling the position with Eustaf might be considered offensive to Ran.

When Daryl explained so, Caruso blinked and said.

"But you're welcome."

"On the outside. Well, you were welcome."

"It's none of your business between me and Ran."

Caruso grinned at Eustaf words.

"I've always been a door-to-door visitor. It's really strong. How can you not go out on your own?"

"That's right."

Daryl nodded. Eustaf said briefly.

"That's it."

Caruso closed his mouth tightly and erased a grinning smile. After spending a long time with Eustaf, he knew where the line was.

He's a commoner, and Eustaf is a nobleman. Anyway, there is a line that cannot be crossed.

"Anyway, the handover is neat. We can figure out the rest. But - we have officers, nobles, under us."

Eustaf nodded and said in a whisper.

"You don't have to care about unruly aristocrats."

Answering neatly, Eustaf called the administrator. Elizabeth still had a tired face, but she still had a bright expression.

This was because the administration, which had not returned due to lack of money, has been running fast these days because it has been oiled with gold coins.

All the Commoners faces have been filled with laughter these days, such as rearranging roads and delivering horsepower items for winter to each house.

In addition, Ran was also highly motivated because she gave her a cool salary and a bonus.

"Master."

When Elizabeth greeted lightly, Eustaf introduced her.

"Our administrator. And this is the new accountant."

Caruso greeted quickly.

"I'm Caruso, the accountant."

"Daryl. Deputy accountant."

"I'm Elizabeth, Administrator."

At about mid-40s, Elizabeth looked at the two with sharp eyes.

"I picked him up at the Academy. Noonim allowed it."

Elizabeth nodded, "I see," at Eustaf's words, but she felt a sense of 'I'll never let you slide and see your skills.'

"For a month without us, please take good care of them."

Caruso frowned and said.

"I've been thinking about it for a while. A month?"

"Oh, the day after tomorrow, the Lord and I are away. About a month."

Caruso opened his mouth. Daryl also opened his eyes wide. Throwing us here like this!

"So, if you have any questions, figure it out quickly and ask. Of course."

Eustaf said so and left, and Elizabeth smiled and saw the two.

"Then I wish you a good understanding of your business."

The departing party disguised itself as a normal top. They rented a cart and a sign on the top of the Golden Rose.

It was because Levery actively pushed it, saying that there was no fear of bandits because it was a powerful top, and that it was good for passing through borders or security posts.

Ran also had several casual traveler's clothes. It was so comfortable to wear pants after a long time.

Dwarf stood out, and Jetura and Pasen sat in the wagon, and Ross drove the wagon. Another wagon was driven by Dimodia, and Ran was often sitting next to it.

Eustaf and Lumiere rode horses, and Lumiere's riding skills were excellent, as he had just begun to learn how to ride.

The horse belongs to the aristocracy.

The fact that it takes time, money, and manpower to raise a horse, and that it is used only to "carry one" was the reason why horseback riding was the exclusive property of the aristocracy.

Of course, merchants and mercenaries ride if they have money.

Of course, I didn't know Lumiere could ride a horse. But horseback riding is the basic of knights. Lumiere practiced horse riding desperately, and now he's about to ride a horse and lift a Lance.

Looking at him like that, Eustaf told Ran.

"Noonim, get used to it a little bit."

"Shall I...?"

"Yes"

If you want to improve your skills, you have to ride a lot. Eustaf was a long journey, so he was definitely going to let Ran practice horseback riding.

"Yes, come here."

Eustaf said so and jumped off the horse. Ran rose from her seat and jumped off the moving carriage, and Dimodia frowned.

"You have to get off when we stop."

"It's okay because it's slow."

Ran replied with a smile. Eustaf helped her as she stepped on the stirrup.

Pasen looked at it and said,

"Why can't you get to such a high place?"

"We ride mules, too."

"Because it's safe."

Pasen refuted Zetura's remarks. Listening to the two's story, Ross thought, 'Maybe you can't ride it because your feet don't touch the stirrup,' but he wisely didn't spit it out.

He was dissatisfied with the difference.

'Shouldn't a carriage be driving by newbie?'

The Knights of Blue flame knew that he had rolled in because of that red-haired rookie Lumiere.

Of course, he tested it thoroughly and won, but still!

'I'm your senior.'

It was Ross who didn't like it at all.

Lumiere approached Ross as if he had read his mind.

"Shall I drive a carriage now?"

"Huh?"

"You'll be tired, so let's take turns."

"Oh, yeah."

Ross handed over the cart reins to him, thinking, 'Unexpectedly, he's a good guy.'

Eustaf corrected Ran's posture and made her run.

His horse was well-trained, so he responded immediately to Eustaf's light sound, repeated walking, running, and stopping.

By the time the sun began to set and they stopped by a small village, Ran's legs were shaking.

"I can't go down ····."

When Ran muttered, Eustaf reached out.

"Take your foot off the stirrup and hold me."

Ran hesitated, wondering if he would be okay, she tilted her upper body at it, and Eustaf held her tightly.

As I came down from the horse, the tension was relieved all over my body by itself. Eustaf sat Ran in the compartment behind the stopped wagon.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes"

Ran nodded helplessly.

"You're much better than you were."

"Really?"

"Yes"

Eustaf nodded and confirmed once again the way to Jetura and Pasen. The carriage was parked near the inn, and the horse was placed in the stable.

Dimodia and Ran were assigned a single room.

"I'm dying."

As Ran spread all over the bed, Dimodia said with a smile.

"Are you tired?"

"Yeah, but if I keep riding like this, I'll get used to it, right?"

"Sure."

Dimodia nodded and encouraged her. At that time, Dimodia opened the door with a "knock..knock" light knock, and Lumiere was standing.

"Lumiere?"

Ran got out of bed and looked up.

"What's going on?"

"I'm here to relax your muscles."

He smiled straight. Ran was wondering what he was talking about, and she said, "Oh! Does that mean you're going to massage me?!"

It seems like your calves and thighs are clumping together, but massage is a thankful story.

"Come inside."

At her words, Dimodia opened her eyes, "Miss Ran!" and Ran flinched.

"Huh? No?"

"The maid will be next to her anyway, and I'll massage her on top of her clothes. Or she'll have more trouble tomorrow."

Lumiere said with a smile. Dimodia thought it was a really brazen and smooth man.

It's a type of human being that you can't see in Lazia.

However, Lumiere's words were not wrong, but she said, "That's right, but..." she blurted out her words and sighed.

"I got it."

Dimodia nodded and Lumiere came inside. He said as he rolled up his sleeves.

"Please lay in bed."

Ran quickly lay down on the bed. When Lumiere pressed down on the bottom of her feet, she groaned on her own.

Lumiere massaged her entire leg delicately. Ran was completely asleep when the massage was over.

"She fell asleep."

Lumiere slightly stuck out his tongue and gave Dimodia a slight smile.

A seductive smile.

His eyes slightly raised like a cat, his unique scarlet eyes, and his smile looked good on him.

Dimodia said with a stiff face.

"I don't know what you're after, but neither the Lord nor the Master is a pushover."

"I know."

Lumiere slipped out of bed. He whispered.

"I'm just doing my best to my master."

"Who's the master?"

"Of course, it's Miss Ran."

Lumiere answered with a sweet voice, and Dimodia became more stiff, but pointed to the door instead of answering.

Lumiere greeted lightly and left the door.

Chasing, kicking his tongue, Dimodia looked at Ran, who was completely asleep. I felt sorry to wake her up because she was sleeping so deeply.

'Should I prepare a late-night snack?'

She'll be hungry when she wakes up at dawn, so she can eat something and go back to sleep.

Dimodia thought so and carefully approached and untied Ran's hair.

Although she was sent out of The Viridescent Shadow after receiving orders, Ran was a good person whom she met personally. I could see that she was kind, friendly, and nice, and above all, she tried to distribute anything fairly to the maids and others.

It was not seen by the nobles, so some disparaged her, saying, "As expected, blood cannot be deceived," and some sided with her, saying, "Isn't she a talented and good person?"

Dimodia was more of a sidekick.

'And if you look at Eustaf these days, I don't know.'

Dimodia rolled her eyes.

Believing that he was rooting for her, Dimodia covered Ran with a blanket.
