39 – 11. Something I can’t help (1)
“I will report you. It is said that a demonic spectacle has occurred in the nearby area.”
“Rating. Is it dangerous?”
“no. As a result of checking, it turned out to be 5th grade.”
At the scout’s report, the knight commander, Brenda, nodded.
Then he turned his head slightly and looked at Shien.
“What are you going to do?”
“What do you think, Captain?”
“… To be honest, I think it’s better to just leave it to the soldiers.”
Every time I heard the news that a demonic spectacle had occurred recently.
Shien immediately mounted his horse and ran to the scene.
And with the knights and soldiers who were already in place.
He killed the Demonic Beasts and closed the Demonic Realm.
Every time that happened, the soldiers and local residents cheered.
Leaving it to others and not being in a safe place.
The owner of Lichtenau, who personally fights against the demons.
It was a natural reaction to cheer that appearance.
Just because she’s a woman, or because she’s of mixed blood.
An atmosphere of concern about the future of Liechtenauer also entered the scene.
‘but… .’
However, Brender and the articles directly under the head of state.
Every time Shien went to the battlefield, he couldn’t help but feel his heart tighten.
Every time a demonic spectacle occurs, the family head cannot step out.
The head of any family doesn’t act like that.
It’s not because my life is precious or because it’s dangerous.
The steps of a person in charge of a family should never be light.
Those who work for people must also know how to trust them and entrust them with small tasks.
If you try to handle everything by yourself, you will miss out on the big things.
‘Until now, I was watching him because he said he was accumulating practical experience. But now is the time to show yourself as a real family head. You can’t continue to go directly to the battlefield.’
Just two days ago, an important guest came from another family.
Actually, Shien was away because of the battle with the Witchbeast.
Even though it was only about cleaning up the 5th grade demon scene.
Thanks to that, I almost got myself into a bit of an embarrassing situation.
Fortunately, Shien solved it well, so I was able to get over it.
“You can’t be mindful of everything all the time, Majesty. Sometimes I trust the people below and leave other things to me. You have to focus on what only the head of the family can do.”
Even Blender, who had been silent until now, is now in a tone that dissuades him.
Because of this, Shien had no choice but to think again.
“Now, you’re saying that we should leave the minor battles to others.”
“That’s right, my lord.”
“… Could it have been a hindrance to them?”
“Not like that. However, as I said, those who are above must also know how to trust those below them. You don’t have to do everything by yourself. Rather, it reduces efficiency. There will be no problem if you step forward only in critical situations.”
At Brenda’s words, Shien turned her head back involuntarily.
There was Adele, who had been watching the situation without saying anything.
“Adele.”
“Yes, Shien.”
“What do you think?”
It’s not even a knight, asking an attendant for his opinion.
Originally, it should be regarded as a fairly strange sight.
However, after witnessing Adele’s true worth, Brenda seemed to have no idea.
Rather, it was to the point of paying attention to the head of the house to stop it.
‘… I don’t think it’s right to go out and fight all the time.’
‘, thought Adele.
Although he is said to be the first wolf of Wolfheddin.
Although he was called the captain by his colleagues and commanded him.
I’ve never been behind under any circumstances.
Always fought at the front, always killed the enemy.
I never backed down, I took it for granted.
“… It would be good to listen to the captain.”
But Brenda’s gaze was so desperate.
And because he thought that he and she must be different.
Adele answered that when Xian asked what she meant.
“Does Adele think so too?”
Shien decided to accept the two men’s opinions.
This time, the devil’s eye is entrusted exclusively to the commander and his soldiers.
She herself returned to her Lichtenauer nature.
“You came back early today. Lord.”
“yes. That’s how it happened. But why are you with me?”
“It’s nothing else, but there are a few items that need to be checked urgently.”
At the butler’s words, Shien sighed.
He thought that if he became the head of Lichtenau, all he needed to do was gain experience in swordsmanship and combat.
However, a more difficult and difficult task awaited him.
It was none other than the ‘work papers’ of hell.
“Still, most of the things were sorted out by the people who went there. In the end, all decisions are made in the name of Lichtenauer, so the permission of the head of the household is required. This is especially true for the part where funds are involved and the part that requires the use of people.”
As soon as you enter the housekeeper’s office, an armful of documents appears.
Seeing that huge quantity, Shien gasps and inhales.
“Me, over there. Could that be too much?”
“yes? no. Rather, this amount is less than half of what the previous head of the household used to do.”
“Ahh… .”
As if to say that this is not the end.
Afterwards, the butler ordered the ladies-in-waiting to bring the business documents.
Every time a huge wad of paper is piled up one by one.
The face of Shien, who was sitting in front of him, also turned white moment by moment.
“Wait, wait!”
In the end, it seemed that this was not the case.
Shien hurriedly grabbed the butler and parted his lips.
“Hey, let’s just do that for now. If you bring all of them, there will be no place to put the completed papers, right?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Most of them are urgent tasks, so we can come and receive them all as soon as the head of household confirms.”
That said to Shien, ‘There’s no way!’ you may have heard
After piling up a terrifying amount of documents in front of Shien for a while.
Please, with a request, not a request for a quick confirmation.
The butler said he would go away and took the ladies-in-waiting and disappeared.
“… .”
Shien stared blankly at the papers stacked in front of him.
If you stack them in a single row, they will reach the ceiling without adding a joke.
It’s not even something that can be done slowly over several months.
Documents that benefit the family should be completed as quickly as possible.
I heard that after my father and brother died in the war, there was no one to look after the family business.
Considering that the period was only less than two months.
It was a really unspeakable amount.
“Hey, Adele.”
This is too much. Too many too many!
Thinking that, Shien unwittingly called for his escort.
“Yes, Shien.”
“Maybe. I’m really asking just in case. Do you know how to do paperwork?”
“… Do you mean paperwork?”
At Adele’s question, Shien nodded.
Is it just an illusion that there is an unknown feeling of anticipation in those eyes?
“… First of all, I think I am doing well.”
“really?!”
How happy she was, Shien jumped up from her seat.
It’s the final check. It’s true that you have to do everything yourself.
How can I get help with other miscellaneous parts?
Shien seemed to think so.
“By the way, when I say this, a former colleague of mine used to say this.”
“What did you say?”
“If you’re going to say that’s good, please go out and freeze to death.”
“… .”
His face is too serious to be considered a joke.
Plus, I don’t think Adele is going to play a prank.
“really… Was that colleague like that?”
“yes.”
After hearing that, Shien gave up neatly.
To the point where he even told Adele to go out and freeze to death.
Isn’t it that the paperwork ability is so bad that it transcends imagination?
“But I am really, really confident that I will do well.”
“thank you. But it’s okay, Adele. I will only take your heart.”
In addition, Adele is actively appearing, which makes it even more suspicious.
It seems like something terrible beyond imagination will happen if you leave the papers for no reason.
Sensing such an ominous feeling, Shien hurriedly turned around.
“Adele. Now that you’re back in the castle, shouldn’t you go get an education?”
“… Will you be okay by yourself?”
“As escort work is important, education is also important.”
Adele’s swordsmanship is undoubtedly the highest level.
But knights simply like swordsmanship or chess.
Because of their very good physical abilities.
This is not a place given to just anyone.
Not to mention the individual’s mindset, but courtesy towards superiors.
Trust in co-workers, even an attitude worthy of subordinates.
You value building strong bonds.
Because he is the one who will take care of his back in the future.
Education does not simply end with ‘education’.
It was a kind of part of social life.
If you look at it that far, it’s in training knights.
This is a point where you can see how many years of education you need.
Of course, Adele has been living like that for a very long time.
It was natural for Shien, who had no way of knowing that, to worry about that part.
“… If so, I’ll be gone for a while.”
After getting permission from Shien.
In the middle of the day, I head to the gymnasium where the attendants are doing personal training.
From nob le mt l. co m
Maybe it’s because it’s still rented in the afternoon.
All the attendants gathered there, and some of them watched each other’s swordsmanship.
Others were doing light physical training.
“uh. Wait. There, there.”
“Are you here?”
“come.”
“Here you are.”
Then, when Adele appears, the atmosphere suddenly changes.
Everyone stop what they are doing and focus on him.
Thanks to that, Adele, who quietly entered the gymnasium, was a bit taken aback.
Have you ever made a mistake? I think about it.
No matter how much I think about it, I haven’t had any problems lately.
“Hey, Adele.”
At this time, one of the attendants who came closest opened his mouth.
To be honest, I can’t remember his name.
Adele remembered that she was a leader among the attendants.
“Can I ask you one favor?”
“ask… I mean.”
At Adele’s question, the attendant glanced back.
Everyone else nodded to him.
The attendant, confirming this, turned his head again.
“Like you, I want to be strong. So, I want you to lead us!”
“… now, you Did you ask me to lead you?”
“yes!”
For a moment, Adele wanted to say this.
Are you confident that you will not regret that decision?
