Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 621
I wanted to fly a full day from Levien to arrive, but it was not good to overuse my car.
Until then, I had no idea whatsoever.
They say they’re looking at it from the sky, but nothing has changed, I wonder if everyone else is doing well, and I need to say hello to some people, and I try to land according to the signal from the familiar flying dragon station. It was all I could do.
So, when the flying dragon manager who guided the car to land suddenly handed over a luxurious robe, I just looked at it blankly with a face that wanted something like this.
“You’re not thinking of walking down the street in that state right now, are you?”
“Right?”
While I was away, it wouldn’t have been that a decree was issued like going to jail for the equipment of mats to maintain the dignity of the capital city. What’s the problem? Even though my gauntlet was shoddy and my armor wasn’t the best, I can confidently say that it doesn’t look like it’s because they’re basically expensive guys.
“If you leave as is, it will take you a year to go back home to deal with those who recognize Lord Ega. Leave the ax in the dragon for now, put on this robe and walk for a while, and a wagon will automatically follow you. ”
“yes…?”
At first, I was dumbfounded by the advice of the manager of the flying dragon, who was not familiar with me, but my head quickly turned around thanks to his reaction to ask me if I was serious with just his eyes.
“Is it because of the dragon?”
“Is that all?”
It was only because of my mood, and in fact, I think my head was spinning less.
I suddenly received another strange glance, and instead of asking further questions, I wrapped my robe neatly. However, apart from following his words, I couldn’t stand the curiosity about the reaction I had already taken out and prepared before my face was identified, so I hurriedly asked one more time.
“How did you know it was me?”
Then, instead, he pointed at the vehicle holding the reins and then pointed at the other flying dragons nearby, and I realized that it was more strange not to notice the unique size of the vehicle among dozens of flying dragons on the station. After realizing it, I left the station with a humble heart.
I didn’t bother to ask who was helping.
Regardless of whether it was a member of the aristocracy or the royal family, I knew that the herb was the rice, and I was clearly aware that I was not in an easy enough position to be able to pay respect with something like this.
That’s why, as the flying dragon manager said, seeing the wagon naturally follow him, he got on as if it were natural. It was possible that someone was riding, as was the case with Esmuer, but there was no such thing. Even the coachman drove the carriage normally without talking to me.
While the body and mind, which had been at ease for a while due to the return in a different form than expected, became sensitive again, the carriage, which had been moving hard, eventually stopped. They were strange knights guarding our house.
This time, even for a very short time, it was all about a strange current. They must have guessed my identity even though I hadn’t taken off my robe yet, and they started talking to me in an informal manner.
“It is an honor to meet you. I have been ordered to withdraw at any time if the Lord does not wish to do so, but what will you do?”
There is no process of introducing who I am or praising my achievements. It can be said that there is a lot of deviation from basic etiquette, but it was clear that the deviation was not to disparage me, but to be considerate.
“Thank you for your hard work. I will stay until the by-products are resolved, so I would like to ask you to withdraw.”
“All right.”
Accepting and proceeding directly without reporting to the upper level… It would be correct to say that there was an intervention by Duke Lesrom, who was clearly aware of my tendencies. The knights, who briefly chatted among themselves and organized their surroundings, brought a flag from somewhere, pinned it prominently at the entrance to our house, and began to withdraw.
There is no one who does not know what the flag with the royal coat of arms in large size is. People who secretly passed by, peeped at the conversation between me and the knights, or looked at each other, hurriedly distanced themselves as soon as the flag was planted.
“Is this enough to accept a request for by-product trade…?”
The flag, which is no different from warning that it could disappear in the dew of the executioner if one steps in recklessly, is not too bad because it represents the opinion and attitude of the royal family. If you look at this and that, it must have been the purpose of letting people die in a pile while trying to touch my things, but if you ignore this and creep in, it was no different from saying that it was legal even if you died, so good was good.
There is a penalty that people who are not interested in starting to focus on, but it is enough to endure. Thinking that, I was about to enter the house, but the door opened abruptly, and Yan Tie appeared.
“Are you here?”
As if greeting someone who has returned from a brief outing, the calm response is not much different from my last memory. Even the maid uniform she is wearing seems to be the same. I thought that such consistency was really like Yan Ti, so I laughed involuntarily.
“Long time no see. You did a lot of work keeping the house while you were away.”
“I’ve been in a lot of trouble for the past few weeks because of that by-product. Would you like to start with a meal?”
“I’ll wash up and eat.”
I finally feel like I’ve come home.
◈
It was already past lunchtime when I came back to my senses and came out, probably because it was a bath I had to take a break for the first time in a while. When I started putting the hot food on the table just as I entered the restaurant, I took a quick glance at the clothes I was wearing and expressed my impressions.
“Is there a place you want to visit as soon as you arrive?”
“I’m back after a long time, so I’ll have to say hello. It’s still around lunchtime, so I’m going to see those who can see it quickly.”
Contrary to my concerns, Contrary to my concerns, the uniform of the chimseonjang Gula, which I took out and wore after throwing away all the clothes I had worn during the trip, was still perfect. It’s the most formal clothes out of all the clothes I own, so if my body shape had changed and it didn’t fit, I would have been able to drop by a lot less today.
“I heard that people from your side helped you? Thank you.”
Most of the stories that followed with the meal that started with the overcoat hung on a chair and sat down were close to reporting incidents that occurred while I was away with the by-products of the dragon.
Whether the church is showing interest in me, or the royal family and the knights took care of those who tried to get their hands on the by-products of the dragon, or just this morning, thieves with a reputation of their own were trying to work, but were killed by the people of the church. Same story, different.
It was bloody content to listen to while eating, but because it contained content that was difficult to just pass by, there was no time to think about the thieves who died.
“You think the Church wants a deal?”
“yes.”
Because there was no reason to know in detail until now, it was because I learned about the purpose and direction of the place called the church that I lived without caring about.
I wondered if it was the Dark Brotherhood that I thought was the Brotherhood, but in the end, it was surprising that they were a group with a very sincere and positive purpose, with a slightly unique direction. But that kind of place seriously wants a contract with me…
“We will definitely be useful.”
Did I feel like I was reluctant to see myself worrying? Unlike Tie, who hinted at Choo-im-sae, I was thinking about something else.
“That’s right, of course. Rather, wouldn’t it be more difficult for you guys’ help to be futile?”
“Then why are you worried?”
“There isn’t much where I can get your help.”
assassination? I don’t want to sneak up behind me, and if necessary, I have to run around on my own two feet and break the pot.
intelligence? As Jicmel said, information shines only when it is given to someone who knows its value.
However, collecting information indiscriminately through transactions with the church and then selling or distributing it to Esmue, Ragnis, or Zicmel is just business. If it were a really ordinary interest group, I would have hired them for that purpose, but these guys are sincere religious people, so I don’t really want to do that.
“Right now, you alone are living as a housekeeper in our house with such tremendous ability. How is it different from other members of the church?”
Thank you for being nice to me, but it’s okay. Hearing my answer, Tie, who remained silent for a while, somehow burst into a strange laugh and continued to speak lightly.
“Looking back, that’s also true. Then, when Ega-sama lives in a bigger mansion, why don’t you hire her as a servant?”
“That’s a great luxury I’ve never even considered. Well, if that happens, let’s go see the contract and decide.”
“Hmm? Sounds like you’re willing to hire them as long as the terms of the contract are satisfactory.”
“Haha, as long as it’s okay with them, there’s no reason to refuse that way.”
Understanding my intentions and ending the meal, I laughed haha at the lightly thrown joke, and Thieh smiled a little more.
“Ha ha ha, then you agree?”
“Hahaha, even joking and agreeing…”
“Are you agreeing?”
It’s cold. A dagger flies into the chest and pierces it.
I belatedly took another look at Tea’s laughing eyes.
“…You’re kidding, right?”
No reaction. Thie doesn’t answer anything, just smiles deeply.
“…yes?”
“……”
Ah.
This is what Padme felt like talking to Anakin.
