Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy chapter 191

Tofu Pilgrimage – 1

The long-awaited release. And the jailer, who seemed to have waited for this day more anxiously than me, came running from afar.

The sight of him clinging to the barbed wire in an instant and hurriedly picking the lock was so heartbreaking to the viewer. Somehow, for five days, I only glanced at the lock. I didn’t check to see if it was properly locked, I just wanted to open it right away.

‘I’m sorry.’

I feel sorry for the other people, but I feel especially great for this guard. I wondered if the prison guard, who was supposed to be strict and serious to the prisoners, was being treated like a butler.

To be honest, he treated the butler well, in fact, he was no different from a servant. It wasn’t intentional, but I’m really sorry…

“You have put a lot of effort into it, Inspector General.”

As soon as the door is opened, the guard bends down so that his head touches the floor. Even so, his hands stretched out in front of me and returned my belongings that I had been keeping.

It’s embarrassing to say that the person who sent the gamcance put a lot of effort into it, but I didn’t want to break the emotion of the guard who seemed so relaxed.

Yes, I put a lot of effort into it. The jailer says so, so let him do that.

“Thanks to that, I was able to live without any inconvenience. I won’t forget.”

Still, I couldn’t move on without saying thanks, so I patted the jailer’s shoulder a few times. Sorry and thank you

“Hey, Inspector General.”

While he was packing his luggage, the guard, who was bending over him, carefully raised himself.

I looked at the guard without much thought and was startled. Now that I look at it, my complexion is not very good.

‘What is it?’

It’s strange. What else happened?

By the way, now that you’re released, is there anything going on? It’s not enough for him to say he came to visit me, I just have to go out and meet him.

‘Could it be an extension?’

I even heard that thought for a moment. Suddenly he said, ‘His Highness the Crown Prince told me to stay locked up for a few more days.’ I was afraid that he might be saying that.

Why did you open the door? Maybe it’s to put them in another prison. The prince’s madness is absolutely unpredictable.

“There is a letter from the Inspector General.”

Fortunately, it wasn’t extended like karaoke.

Anyway, with trembling hands, the guard pulls out the letter he kept in his arms.

“It was sent by His Majesty the Legend.”

‘That’s right.’

I was nervous.

The jailer held out the letter with a pale complexion, as if his own neck would be wrinkled as well if the letter was wrinkled even a little.

I took a quick look and saw the seal of a proudly established Jeonseunggong. It is true that Jeon Seung-gong sent it.

‘Were you a traitor in your previous life?’

Looking at the jailer with an unusual fortune, I now have reasonable doubts. Isn’t this a level that can only be achieved by accumulating tremendous karma in a previous life?

In just five days, I got entangled with three of the five dukes. It must have been too much of an ordeal for an ordinary, ordinary jailer.

…But if you put it that way, I’m the worse guy. If the jailer was a traitor, I would have been a traitor who succeeded in selling the country.

“Yes, I definitely got it.”

Once I left it more, I thought I would get wet with sweat, so I received it quickly.

After being a butler, a postman. How far does the authority of the jailer fall?

***

As soon as the letter from His Excellency Jeon Seung-gong left my hands, I felt a deep sense of relief. How to shake your hands and feet when you have something you can’t handle.

‘I will retire immediately.’

I felt the touch of the letter of resignation that I cherished in my arms. Just made sure it worked. No need to wait until work. There is no need for a takeover or anything else.

I’m going to hand in my resignation as soon as the inspector general leaves. This dog jailer life, no one can stop me

“Hey.”

While I was thinking about settling down in a secluded provincial estate with the wealth and severance pay I had accumulated, I heard the voice of the inspector general.

The situation where he was looking at me as if he had read the letter before he knew it.

‘When did you call me?’

Have you called several times, but have you heard it now? Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case.

If that were the case, there’s no way the inspector general’s expression would be that calm. One guard ignored his words.

“Yes, Inspector General.”

“What’s your name?”

Isn’t it? Did you ignore

A calm tone, but the content was so horrifying that my hands began to tremble again.

‘Crazy.’

The head of the inspection department is asking for his name. I had the urge to get down on my knees right away and beg for a wife and children.

But when he caught the attention of the head of the inspection department, his body didn’t move properly.

“That, that…”

I almost said another name for a moment, but I could barely hold it in. If you lie anyway, you will be caught soon and you will only be punished.

“Lou, this is Luciano.”

“I see.”

I bit my lip at the sight of the inspector general nodding calmly.

I worked really hard to prevent this from happening. I put my heart and soul into it so as not to offend the chief inspector and never cause dissatisfaction.

Still, from the point of view of the nobles, it seems that they are not content. No matter how hard a commoner tried, he couldn’t have the sight of a nobleman.

If there is a next life, I want to be born as a noble.

“Okay, take it.”

The director of the inspection department suddenly holds out a business card.

Is this the name of the person who will kill you? If that’s true, it’s a heinous and terrible thing. I think I know why the Inspection Department is notorious.

Of course, I couldn’t express my dissatisfaction outwardly. If you did it for no reason, you could die with less pain, but you could die with more pain.

‘…What is it?’

I received the business card with a half-hearted feeling, but something was unusual.

“I, Inspector General. Excuse me, but what about this?”

I sneakily showed the back of the business card to the inspection manager. The blanks were filled with my name and the signature of the inspector general.

At my reaction, the inspector general responded with a small smile.

“It must have been a lot of hard work for the past five days. That’s the only present I can give you right now.”

I only blinked at the words I couldn’t understand. It’s fortunate that I’m not being ‘supervised’, but why is this a gift?

Is it fashionable among nobles to collect business cards? If so, it seems so. Even among aristocrats, the inspector general’s business card would sell for quite a bit. It’s a shame that my name is also written on it.

“If there’s a place you want to go, just show it.”

I belatedly came to my senses after hearing those words.

In front of an empty barracks. I blankly looked down at the business card.

“You can show it when something happens, or you can use it when you want a different position.”

I only nodded my head at the kind explanation of the inspection manager.

“Even if you have the right aptitude, doing the same thing is boring.”

At that, he nodded even more vigorously. One of the reasons I wrote my letter of resignation without hesitation was because of my long life as a jailer.

‘Other positions.’

My hands started shaking in a different way than before.

How many years does anyone like the life of a prison guard? I stay because things aren’t right, because I don’t have a place to go.

But now I have a master key that makes everything possible. Even the key to aiming for a higher position, not just another position.

‘Thank you…!’

It was a greeting I had said before, even though no one was listening, but I repeated it several times in my mind.

Five days of pain? I don’t know. Compared to the grace of the Inspector General, that was a small fuss at the level of a grain of sand.

With a reverent heart, I put my business card into my bosom. If I were to lose it, I would really hit the ground and cry—

‘What is it?’

The hand in the bosom bumped into something. It was very unpleasant. Something I dare not know to take up the place of a sacred business card.

I took out something in displeasure and saw a letter saying resignation.

‘It’s ugly.’

It’s a pitiful thing only losers use. Things I will never need now.

I tore my ugly past into this letter of resignation. By this I have won myself.

***

I was able to reach the academy right away thanks to the wizard sent by the prince in advance to the prison.

I felt strange that the person who put me in prison was so considerate, but I decided to just skip it because I had a lot of stake in the cause of my imprisonment.

‘I will keep my promise.’

With a sigh of relief, he folded the letter from the legend in his hand and put it into his bosom.

To be honest, when I first received the letter, I thought it was an invitation to meet, so I was worried. I promised to be the first to meet Marghetta when I was released, so I had to politely decline.

But it wasn’t.

[ I heard the news. It’s a pity, but I don’t worry because I believe that Carl will work even harder with this work as a rock. ]

Simple greetings and words of consolation immediately followed.

[ I wanted to go to a visit, but it wouldn’t be a burden to Karl-kun if I went there. I didn’t go because I wanted to be at ease without thinking about anything, even for five days. It’s time for us to meet. Anytime. ]

And unlike a minister living anywhere, there was also a phrase overflowing with consideration.

Is this really an adult? Who is the adult I knew so far?

[This weekend is her daughter’s birthday, so we decided to have a small banquet at the mansion. She said that even her daughter would say that if Carl-kun would brighten up her place, would she come? ]

Although I set up a time to meet up fairly quickly instead.

Come to think of it, it was around this time of the Crown Princess’s birthday. Last year, it seems that a banquet was held around this time.

‘It will be fine.’

Although the crown princess and the crown prince were annoyed to attend, there was no problem with the crown prince’s presence. At least the madman isn’t tee-bagging in front of her crown princess.

Because it was the first meeting with her right after her release, the prince’s provocative power reached the sky. However, she has the crown prince Zabi, the suppressor in charge of the crown prince.

Okay, no problem if I go.

‘It must be fun.’

Rather, you can intuit the prince whose mouth is itching to look at her princess.

I can’t stand this. It’s a banquet that I want to attend even if I’m told not to come.

…Of course, let’s finish the cleanup by the weekend before we go. If you go to Jedo without properly handling it, it seems that Marghetta will stop you from going.
