Lanchester who sensed my murderous aura let go of his holy sword and shrunk his body down. So much for the big talk.
[So, one of the Great Five, isn’t it?]
[Wait! I concede, that’s why]
[That’s no good. If you as a knight doesn’t act like one, then I can’t show off my skill]
[No….stoooooooooooop]
One of the white knight struck the floor with the butt of his spear to silence the uproar. The Holy Knights quickly shut their mouth after hearing that sound. Judging from their pale face, it’s also the first time for them to see what these white knights are actually capable of.
Speaking of Lanchester, the king’s white knights helped him got up, and apparently having heard what had happened, he suddenly lost his fear and started shouting at me.
[You fool! Look! The King is helping me. You’re worth no less than horse dung to ……he!?]
The spears are then raised up, showing the corpse to the other holy knights. I could hear shuddering sound, as the red carpet was drenched in blood.
The Holy Knights showed surprised face as they never saw something as unexpected as this before. One of the white knight then opened his mouth. His was a neutral voice, it sounded like male but also sounded like female at the same time.
[The seat is now empty. I believe there is no objection.]
[The King is also welcoming your presence. We’ll be expecting good work from you.]
I knelt down and lowered my face. When I looked back up, the white knight continued to speak.
[Oh? That face….do you have something you want to say?]
[Although it’s inappropriate as I’m merely a newcomer, I have only one wish.]
[Then let’s hear it.]
[Those people without proper job in the capital, would you allow me to take them to my territory?]
As soon as I finished, Aaron’s eyes went wide, he tried to open his mouth, but refrained and laughed a little instead. If I wanted to do it, then I just had to do so. Hausen was still in the middle of recovering and needed more people after all. Moreover, those already living at Hausen were also people who had lost their way of living ――in other words, people without proper job.
Even if you didn’t have any useful skill, it’s not like you can’t do anything. You could still master something by putting more effort into it overtime. At that point one will be able to produce similar result to those with proper production skill. However, the current system didn’t allow anyone to do so.
That’s why we must get past the largest barrier first. Those who doesn’t have proper skill in this kingdom are all directly managed by the king. So it’s like we are trying to steal his property. This is why Aaron widened his eyes earlier.
[The King has given the permission. Barbatos’ territory will accept people without skills for proper job. Use the human resources well to quicken the recovery.]
[Thank you very much.]
I bowed my head whilst peeking to the side. Aaron winked lightly at me while also bowing his head. At first he was surprised with what I did, but Aaron thought that it’s also good in a way.
After the end of the audience with the King, Aaron talked to me while we were walking along the hallway.
[If it’s me, I won’t even think about bringing that up when having an audience with the king for the first time.]
[Securing human resources is an important matter. Also….no, this is my personal affair.]
[I see…]
After saying so, Aaron seemed to be reminded of something,
[Hey, Fate]
[What is it?]
[It’s about that Ritt Lanchester. If they didn’t stop you, would you have really killed him….]
[It’s as that guy said, I’m not worth anything. Even if I become a holy knight, that part of me won’t change.]
[Fate…]
[Now then, let’s return to the mansion. It’s been left unused for years, so everything should be covered in dust and in need of cleaning!]
[Hahaha, you are right. Then let’s hurry, I don’t dare to make that girl angry.]
