CH 89

As Lord Cecilm said, adventurers don’t need to be mindful of their language.

Well, to begin with, even if they were mindful, they wouldn’t be able to speak so refined. Adventurers who rely on their strength to settle things intentionally do so to avoid being underestimated, so to speak.

However, when dealing with royalty or high nobles, adventurers generally need to be considerate…

“That’s right. That’s good. Land-kun, please do so as well.”

“I understand… I got it.”

I’m not calm, but if he is saying so, it might be more natural this way…

Nevertheless, it was truly impressive to see the two of them gracefully sipping the tea that was served. It seems like I was being shown the difference in status…

“I apologize for summoning you here.”

“No, it’s no problem… It’s fine.”

“Haha, thank you. But they mentioned you coming from the sky. Ah, how envious I am.”

Information reached him quickly. I didn’t think there would be an opportunity to talk to the gatekeeper…

Considering the scale of this place, there might be some magical tools in the mansion as well.

“Now, let’s get straight to the main topic. First of all, the subjugation of the dragon zombie, it was truly a great help. Thank you.”

Lord Cecilrum bowed his head to us.

I was reminded once again that it was such a significant event.

“I had entrusted a considerable amount of money to the guild, but did you receive it?”

“Well… more than enough.”

“Haha, that’s good to hear. However, I believe it’s not enough.”

Even though it was already more than enough…

Gihren also mentioned it, but I guess it was that important.

“If there’s anything else you desire, I am willing to prepare it. Title, mansion… Hm… My daughter, although she’s still young, if you wish…”

“No way!”

“Oh my, the Margrave’s daughter is still available.”

“Well, such discussions are bound to come up eventually, but she’s only 7 years old. I think she’d be happier if she were to be received by someone like you, Land.”

Lord Cecilm showed a hint of his fatherly love.

But that was also just for a moment.

In the first place, I can’t even imagine marrying a noble’s daughter… or rather; I don’t want to get engaged to a 7-year-old girl. Let’s change the subject.

“Before that, about the title…”

“Ah, yes. If it’s my own decision, at most a viscount…”

“Viscount?!”

It wasn’t a title that was just for show… It also meant that one can hold important positions in the country.

“Oh, isn’t that nice.”

“Don’t say it so casually.”

‘Well, if Milim is there, she could handle things like governance… No, she’s a solitary king. No good.’

“You have a very disrespectful expression on your face.”

‘She’s sharp…’

While being glared at by Milim, I somehow managed to steer the conversation back on track.
