A long night has dawned.
Feeling sleep-deprived, partly because of yesterday's attack, Cain gets up from his bed.
He opens the curtains and lets the sunshine wash over his entire body, letting the sleepiness go away.
Cain changed out of his nightgown and quickly left the bedroom and headed to the room where Enak and the others were sleeping.
He knocked and announced that he was Cain, and the door opened immediately.
It was Enak who greeted me.
'... Enak, thank goodness you're here. I see you're awake.
A sense of relief spread through Cain.
He was worried that he was awake as he handed the sleeping Enak to Dash.
'Good morning, brother Cain, and good morning to you.
Yeah, I guess so. Good morning. Enak.
Admonished by Enak, Cain greeted Enak, scratching his head.
'Good morning, brother Cain! You can come in! I mean, this is my brother's house, right?
Enak's cheerful greeting made Cain's smile come naturally.
When Enak urged him into the room, Dash had already woken Himika up as well.
His clothes had been torn to shreds when he was attacked, so it seemed that the maids had prepared them for him first thing in the morning. All three of them, including Enak, were dressed in small, neat outfits.
''Dash-san and Himika-san, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you yesterday. We will take care of the repairs at the inn, so please relax in this room until then.
Cain bowed to the three of them.
''Raise your heads. My lord shouldn't bow to us commoners so easily.''
'And Master Cain has helped us. Enak was safe, and that was enough for us.
Cain raised his head as they both admonished him as well as Enak.
''Thank you both. I will work hard to make this city a better place to live from now on. I promise to make it a better place for everyone to live.
They nodded at Cain's words.
Afterwards, they all had breakfast together. This was their first time eating at a nobleman's table, and they proceeded to eat despite their nervousness. Enak ate with delight at the delicious food.
'Brother Cain! This is delicious! I want more.
Yeah. Then I'll have a refill.
Cain softly makes eye contact with the maids who serve him, and the maids bow silently and place the newly-prepared plates in front of Enak. Cain is relieved to know that he has an excellent maid in place.
I have to go out from now on today. I have to go to King's Landing as well, so I probably won't be able to return today. I want you to think of it as your home for a little while and take it easy.''
Dash and Himika nodded in horror at Cain's words. Enak looked a little sad that Cain wasn't there. Dash would now have to explain to the guests as well. Himika and Enak stayed at the mansion, and Dash was going to head to the inn.
'I'm sorry, Enak. I have some business to attend to today. I also have to explain to His Majesty what happened yesterday. I also need to ask for a new deputy to be sent over. We'll play with them when we get back.
After eating, Cain went into his office and thought about the future.
While he was in King's Landing, he was worried about the security here. He had captured the master of the Dark Guild, but he hadn't captured everyone else either. If this lord's mansion was attacked again with a vengeance, the guards alone would not be able to protect it. He wondered if there was anyone strong enough. And I immediately thought of something.
''Ah, there's just the right person. You can at least protect them.
Summoning Sammon "Set
A magic circle emerged in the office, and a demon with three horns sticking out of his forehead appeared.
It's the Demon King Set, whom I had summoned in my summoning magic class before.
He was still wearing the same gorgeous outfit and cloak.
''Well, well, well, Cain-sama, you're welcome. The entire demon king's army is ready to help you destroy it wherever you order.
I wouldn't do that!
The Demon King, who suddenly says something out of the blue, rushes in and sits down on the couch. Cain also sat down opposite him.
Cain then explained to Set that he needed to go to King's Landing and explain what had happened and have a replacement deputy and priest sent to him.
'What? Isn't Master Cain the king of this country! No, we are too small to be the king of one country. Let's take control of everything in this world!
'I won't, you idiot! I'm just a lord!
So, starting here in the city, we're going to take our independence to ...
They don't do that either!
Cain, tired of Set's oblique statement, leans back against the couch.
Sighing, he explains again.
''So, I want Set to guard this lord's residence while I'm not here, right? It would be nice if I were there, but as expected, you can't do anything if you are in the royal capital. Set can protect everyone here no matter what comes his way, right?
Set nodded at Cain's explanation.
'Then there is someone more qualified than me. It's a good idea to use the person you are about to call as your steward. I'm still a king in this case, so I can't take that much care. I'm not going to be able to get the same thing for a long time. I'll call on you now.
summoning summoning summons dalmatian
The one who was summoned was a man who looked like nothing more than a human race, with a gray haired head in an all-back and a butler's uniform that made him look old.
''This is Demon King Set-sama, it's been a long time. What can I do for you?
The polite man turned to greet Set. Then he turned to Cain and froze.
Dalmatia sensed in an instant that the boy who looked like a child was close to a god.
'This, this one is ...'
Set explains to an upset Dalmatia, who is upset.
'This man is Lord Cain, my covenant master, an apostle of the God of Creation, the God who will conquer this world!
We don't conquer, and God is superfluous!
Dalmatia smiled as she listened to their conversation.
Cain once again explained to Dalmatia.
''Cain-sama, you used to be one of the four demon generals, but I've already retired and was just taking it easy. If you would like, you can use me as your steward here. Even with this, my skills have not slowed down.
Dalmatia straightened her posture and bowed to Cain.
There was no problem with the Cain residence in the King's Capital, since Coran was looking after it, but there was no one to be the steward of the lord's residence here.
Up until now, there hadn't been any problems because Ella Eve had arranged everything for him, but that wouldn't be the case in the future. I decided to ask Dalmatia, who was dressed in a butler's uniform that looked excellent, to help me out.
I asked Set to leave early and introduced Dalmatia to the maids. And, of course, to Dash, Himika, and Enaku. Enak said, "Grandpa! And then he hugs Dalmatia. Dalmatia smiles at this innocent child while gently stroking her head. I decided to leave the rest to her with peace of mind, and Cain prepared to go to the royal capital.
''Well then, I'm going to go. I'll be back soon, so until then, I'll ask you to take care of it.''
Master Cain, go to your office.
After greeting Dalmecia, I transitioned to my mansion in the royal capital.
He made the transition to his office and went out into the hallway to Coran's room. ''Is Coran here?'' And without knocking, he put his hand on the door.
From inside, Cain heard them talking, and he stopped his hand from opening the door.
All that could be heard were the voices of Coran and Sylvia.
'I like you, Sylvia. However, this is an important time for Cain-sama. I'm not in a state to be in love. However, if Cain-sama comes of age and gives me permission, I would like you to join me.
Cain couldn't help but listen to Coran's shocking confession.
I like Mr. Coran, too. But I can't do that without Master Cain, who I have taken care of since he was a little boy. Let's work together and do our best to help each other until Master Cain comes of age. And then we'll think about the rest.
When he heard that Coran and Silvia were in love with each other, Cain couldn't help but smile. Moreover, it's because they care more about Cain than their own love life.
Hearing those words, Cain's heart became hot inside.
Sylvia was Cain's personal maid from a young age and raised him until now. She taught me to write, and she taught me about this world.
Cain also wanted Sylvia to be happy, as she was already twenty-one years old and of marriageable age, and he wanted her to be happy.
Cain took his hand away from the door and pulled out a piece of paper and a brush from the item box. Then he wrote a stroke of paper and placed it in front of the door.
The paper on which it was placed read
'When I come of age, I want you both to be happy. Cain.
Cain, who was in a bad mood due to many things, felt better with their conversation and left the mansion to go straight to the royal castle.
At the entrance of the royal castle, he proved his identity and announced that he wanted to meet with His Majesty and the vizier.
''His Majesty has informed me that Master Cain is free to enter the royal castle at will. I will show you to the parlor.
Thank you.
I entered the royal castle with my knight and sat down on the sofa in the usual reception room where I was led to.
The maid gave me a cup of tea and I was taking it easy when Prime Minister Magna entered the room.
I'm sorry to trouble you again, Viscount Cain. Your Majesty and Duke Eric are receiving visitors. They will see you later. But what is going on here all of a sudden? It's about Drintle, isn't it?
Cain nodded at Prime Minister Magna's question.
''Actually--''
I reported everything that was going on in Drintle.
He explained in turn what had been in the city. When Prime Minister Magna heard this, his forehead wrinkled and he groaned.
I'm sorry to hear that. I apologize on behalf of Your Majesty for what I have done.
'That's fine. There is no need for the Prime Minister to bow.
Yeah, but I'm sorry.
I explained to the vizier, who looked apologetic, what to do in the future.
He told the vizier that the city's deputies had been absent due to this attack, and that the priest was also absent since he had been captured, and that he wanted a replacement priest to be arranged as soon as possible.
'In that case, wait a minute,' he said, 'the man His Majesty is discussing now is the bishop who is in charge of the church in this country. I'm sorry, but I'll explain it to you again later. I'm sorry, but you'll have to explain to me again later what you just said.
"Yes, Prime Minister.
The vizier led him to another reception room.
When they arrived at the room where His Majesty was having a meeting, the Prime Minister knocked on the door.
''This is Magna. I would very much like to discuss this with Your Majesty and the Bishop's Highness, Viscount Cain is also here.
You can come in.
From the other side of the door, the vizier heard His Majesty's voice and opened the door.
There was His Majesty and Duke Eric, and facing him was an old man in a robe more superior to that of a priest.
''Excuse me, Your Majesty. I apologize for the suddenness of your visit.''
Cain enters the room and bows to His Majesty to tell him.
"No problem, first of all, let me introduce you. This is Bishop Harnum, the bishop of this church in the Kingdom of Ssfort.
The bishop, dressed in a fine robe of white with gold thread, bows his head lightly.
''Bishop Harnam, it is a pleasure to meet you, Bishop Harnam, I am Cain von Silford Drintle, the third son of Garm von Silford Gracia. I have been appointed Viscount.
Cain bows his head to Bishop Harnam and greets him.
'My name is Harnam, I am the Bishop of the Kingdom of Esfort.
After our mutual greetings were over, I sat down with the vizier and told him again what I had just explained to him.
''--No way, my priest would do such a thing.
The more he hears about the lavish decorations inside the church that the bishop was doing, the more he hears about the lavish decorations inside the church that the priests were doing, the more he hears about the high cost of treatment that seems illegal, the angrier the bishop gets. And to the extreme, the attack on the lord's residence.
Even though they were repulsed, the fact that they attacked remains the same. It was a matter that could not be settled by the bishop's decision alone, but had to be communicated to the home country of Marinford Church.
'At present, he is being held in the jail of the Drintle jail, along with the other ringleaders.
'I'm sorry for the inconvenience the church officials have caused. I am truly sorry. I will send the details to the home country as well. Your Majesty, Viscount Cain, I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.
The bishop bowed deeply to His Majesty and Cain.
'So, I would like you to send a new priest.
We'll make arrangements as soon as we get back to church headquarters. I'll have it sent to Drintle in the morning.
Thank you.
Bishop Harnam quickly nodded in response to Cain's wish.
''So, Your Majesty, this time, as for the deputies, the Dark Guild Master, and the Adventurer's Guild Sub-Master, I intend to carry them to the royal capital.
Rex nodded as he listened to Cain's story. For such a large scale injustice, it is not possible for a single lord to dispose of it. This is because we need to expose the injustice that has been going on until now by going to court in King's Landing.
''As for the replacement deputy, give me some time to think about it, including Magna.
I have an academy to attend, so I can't wait until then, but I would appreciate it. However, my father, Garum, has told me that he will be able to send an internal affairs officer, and I may ask him to take over for me until that is decided.
His Majesty heard that he was to be sent out from Garum as Home Secretary and began to put his hand to his chin in thought.
'We will now consider it. Tomorrow, after the academy is over, you may come back to the castle.'
'All right, I'll see you tomorrow. I will visit you again tomorrow. I think we're done for the day.
Cain bowed his head and left the reception room.
Then he left the royal castle and headed for the Adventurers Guild.
