Chapter 107: 108

Chapter 108 - The Graham Family

 

"Ars-sama, I didn't know there was a castle like this in the Barca Knight's Domain."

"That's right, Leon-san, because this castle was just recently completed."

　It was a little while after the winter had ended and we had built a new castle in Barcania.

　A little while after the end of winter and the creation of a new castle in Barcania, Leon, the younger brother of the woman I was to marry, Lilina, came to my domain.

　Apparently, he had come to see the site as a final step in the marriage talks.

　Leon was surprised to see Barcan Castle.

　We had built a new castle in the middle of the fortified city of Barcania and named it Barcan Castle.

　I think this castle is quite a feat.

　The castle is made of Hardened Bricks, and the color of the bricks looks like it is made of marble, which is a far cry from the usual brick buildings in this world.

　Furthermore, the Hardened Brick castle has two unnecessarily high spires on either side, with a large entrance gate in the middle.

　Those who are about to enter the castle will first be impressed by its height.

　After passing through the entrance, the inside is like a large hall.

　If you go straight ahead, you will find a staircase, and if you go over this staircase and proceed further, you will find the audience hall.

　The audience hall itself is also very spacious.

　The carpet that the old man had ordered was laid out, and you had to walk on it to go farther.

　On either side of the room, there are large, tall, vertical windows with stained glass.

　The stained glass, a mosaic of various colors with blue as the base color, is filled with light.

　The stained glass may surprise you, but there is something even more eye-catching behind it.

　There is a huge circular stained glass window with an intricate pattern reminiscent of snowflakes.

　This area was specifically designed from the architectural stage to have good lighting.

　The blue stained glass shone in the light, and the chair I was sitting on was placed under the light.

　It was perfect.

　Anyone who came to visit me here would definitely be surprised.

　There is no one who would look at this castle and think that I don't have power.

　Gran and I couldn't stop laughing when we saw the completed Barcan Castle.

"The Barca Knight's Domain is originally a small land with only two villages. It's a good idea to build a castle like this if you want to welcome a princess of noble birth."

"No, my sister is related to Carlos-sama, but she is officially a daughter of the Graham family in the service of the Fontana family. You can't call her a princess."

"I've heard that Lilina is the child of a maid who worked at the castle with the previous head, but are they two completely different families? And what is the Graham family?"

"The Graham family is a knight's family that has served the Fontana family since long ago. They once had a territory, the Graham Knight Territory."

"There was? Not anymore?"

"Yes. When my father died suddenly, Lord Raymond confiscated the Graham family's lands."

"Raymond, the one who was in charge of the Fontana family until recently?"

"That's right. He was also an unlikely opponent of Ars-sama. My father was also a political rival of Lord Raymond. When he died suddenly, Lord Raymond took our territory as if it were his own."

"Seriously? Could it be that Raymond was also involved in your father's death?"

"I don't know. It's all in the dark now."

"...... In that case, why don't you appeal directly to Carlos-sama? Ask him to take back the territory that was taken from you."

"It would probably be difficult. My father has been dead for many years now, and the territory has been divided up and is now held by several knightly families. It will be difficult for Carlos-sama, who has only just become the head of the family, to take it away."

"...... I see. It's not easy to be a knight's house, is it?"

"That's true. But we can't keep thinking about the past. We have to do what we can now."

"You're amazing, Leon. Unlike my brother, you're too mature."

"Thank you very much. I have a request to make to Ars-sama. Will you let me work for you?"

"Hai? Work for me?"

"Yes. It is my long-cherished wish to revive the Graham family, but the truth is that I have never been on the battlefield. I've never actually been on the battlefield, and the best way to rebuild the house is to take credit on it."

"Then why don't you ask Carlos-sama? He's the best spearman on the battlefield."

"We have lost our lands and do not have a proper fighting force. We don't even have the strength to stand on the battlefield at the moment."

"I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what to do. It's going to be difficult..."

"I'm not asking you to lend me someone who can help me. I want you to use me, Ars-sama."

"Use Leon?"

"Yes. Even though we lost our territory, the Graham family was a knight family among the knights who had a proper knighthood until a while ago. I also organized what the Graham family had collected as knights of their own territory. I was also learning how to fight on the battlefield from my late father. I'm sure it will be useful for Ars-sama on the battlefield."

　I see.

　In short, you can become a commander or make a strategy.

　If I'm ever called by Carlos to go into battle, he will follow me and give me a plan.

　And if he succeeds and leads us to victory more than once, he can claim credit for it.

　You don't need to have your own army to do that.

　After all, he is going to be my brother-in-law.

　I'm sure the others won't ignore what Leon has to say.

"Okay, okay. Leon, you'll be working for me from now on. Please treat me well."

"Thank you, Ars-sama."

"However, your job will be to provide general support to me. You will not only work on the battlefield, but you will also work on a regular basis. If you were educated as a knight, that means you can write and do math, right?"

"Yes, of course."

"Then you'll also help me run the Barca Knight's Domain. Yes, that's right. Can you get in touch with the guys who used to work for the Grahams?"

"The ones who used to work for our family? They've mostly been scattered since we lost the territory."

"If you know of any freelancer right now, call them up and tell them to come work for Barca. Anyone who has experience running a territory is more than welcome at our place."

"Oh, thank you very much! I'll find people and bring them in right away!"

　That's good.

　Until now, the management of the Barca Knight's Domain has been done by a group of amateurs who have shared their opinions.

　But if you have someone with experience, you will be able to get a better opinion.

　It would be a great help if they could work for us, starting with Leon.

　In this way, before my marriage to Lilina, the Graham family members who had been dispersed and scattered around the country were gathered in the Barca Knight's Domain.

CadmarLegend I am in need of an editor. It isn't paid... So, I'll later make a Google Forms Application for anyone interested, and if you pass... You'll become my editor~~ Even though it isn't paid, here are some perks:

You can read ahead. You can be given shoutouts in any name you want. You can automatically be given the 『Editor』role in my discord server. You don't need to converse with me that much (Which, yeah, I know you're thankful for... who'd want to talk to me?) No age limit. But I would prefer if you were at least 16 or so because the topics in here can b NSFW and I think 16-year-olds can handle it... You won't need to verify your age in any way. Don't worry. You have around the final judgment on names. Some names, like Lalina, can be translated like Rarena, because of the rrr sound in Japanese. You can choose which one to use.

One important necessity is that you can use Google Docs as a means of communication or editing. Or discord. Discord also works.
