Randolph was also working hard, and Isaac's turn did not seem necessary as deputy for the Lords.
Thanks to this, Isaac has free time.
But in order to make the most of that time, I needed a dialogue with my father first.
A few days after arriving in the territorial capital.
When the journey was exhausting, Isaac never spoke to Randolph of his will.
"Father, I want to help you too."
"What help?
"It's a customer response. I don't have a mother this year."
What Isaac thought was to respond to the guests on behalf of his father.
Anyone who promises to meet you in advance can have Randolph ready.
However, there are a significant number of unexpected visitors each month who say, "I came by to say hello because I passed nearby."
With Lucia remaining in the King's Capital this year, there is no one to respond to visitors.
I was thinking of fulfilling that role myself.
But Randolph's reaction is not good.
"But you're just a kid. You can't push your job too hard..."
"That's now. With the help of Hans, I was acting as Lord last year. [M] It doesn't mean you have no idea what you're doing."
"But... I want my children to live like children."
Randolph had his own idea.
I had a hard time with Isaac, so I wanted to make him live like a child without letting him do a good job.
But the idea is even more so now.
It wasn't what Isaac was convinced of.
I decided to touch on a topic that took me one step further.
"Father, that is now. If you want to live like a child, why didn't you respond to your brother or Mrs. Melinda? That way, I lived like a child the way your father wanted me to."
"It's..."
In Isaac's words, Randolph is stuck with words.
"What's that? What is it?
"I don't want Lucia to ruin things. Because I say it's okay as it is now..."
To Randolph's words, Isaac felt dizzy.
Because you are receiving the words as they are.
"Father. What will you do if you take the word as it is? Given your mother's character, you can't possibly tell her to do something about it. In the first place, shouldn't you have pulled Mrs. Melinda and made her grow up, more than your father decided to take me as his successor?
"It certainly could have been...... But..."
"But it's not."
Isaac blocked Randolph's words.
"Father. Now whatever you hear, it just sounds like an excuse. So let's not do that. Let's move on to that next step."
Isaac cut the story off where appropriate.
This is also for Isaac himself.
It's more about getting the results you want than accusing Gucci.
Besides, it's too deep a pursuit, and I don't want you to get sick again.
If I become a Lords surrogate again, my time will be greatly limited.
Now Isaac was still avoiding going deep.
"What's the next step?
"It's the building of a new relationship. My father and I don't think we can go back to our old relationship. I can't repair a relationship. But I wish I could create a new relationship as a family by helping your father at all."
"Isaac......"
Instead of a 10-year-old trying to get the relationship back to normal, he's trying to create a new relationship as a family by doing something together.
To his health, Randolph still looks like he's going to cry.
"I couldn't do anything to him and I'm sorry... What am I supposed to do?
"Let me help your father. Let's start with the customer response."
"Okay. You're free to go. Let's do it together. But don't push it."
"Yes. I know"
Randolph held Isaac tight.
There was a lot going on with the family, but nothing is over yet.
Randolph realized that this was the beginning.
The incident that I caused.
He was also thinking of taking a step forward without fear that he could not leave the end to Isaac after all.
----------
It is every year that the nobles visit to greet each other on their way home from the King's Capital.
Randolph was responding at first because we know that kind of nobility is coming.
It wasn't until about a month after Isaac started responding to the aristocracy.
Even today, until my father's hand was empty, I had Norman present to deal with the aristocracy.
"It's been a long time, Baron Risgo. I'm sure your father will be here soon, so please wait a moment now"
"We're out of time for this one. Isaac seems to be doing well, above all."
Isaac last saw him when he greeted him on the way home from the party at the end of the year.
Before that, since I threatened you with Dennis.
Most nobles are similar.
It doesn't mean he's the only one who's special.
We'll have a chat for a while.
Talk casually and let him get off guard, then Isaac cuts to the point.
"I'd like to ask you one thing, by the way."
"What is it?
Baron Lisgow is relaxed because he had a normal chat.
I listened back in a calm voice.
"Baron Lisgow is me and the royal family. If you had to choose one, would you pledge allegiance to one of them?
"What!?
Too terrible an unintentional blow.
Baron Lisgow was stuck with words.
(Is this some kind of test? If you answer that it is Master Isaac, you will be killed without 'loyalty to the royal family', and when it comes to the royal family, you will be killed with 'no loyalty to yourself'?
Such an idea came to my mind.
This is Jude's fault.
He has a proven track record of killing those he deems detrimental to the kingdom.
"Aren't you being tested for that yourself?," Baron Lisgow can't help but think.
In fact, this is a test.
It is also an examination of "whether or not he is detrimental to the kingdom".
However, this was the opposite polar nature of what Jude did.
Isaac was trying to "weigh himself and the royal family over the balance and see how much time it would take to come up with an answer".
I can't trust someone who immediately says, "It's Master Isaac," etc., so I either eliminate it before we start a revolt or hold it out of my head with force.
Seriously worried. "It's Isaac," he answers, thinking of ways to be flexible because he might be able to be on his side.
Of course, Isaac thought, "Let's judge each and every one of us by how they react," although it's actually that simple.
That's why I told my father I wanted to help.
This is an imitation of how my grandmother Margaret did it.
- Root on many nobles without the Lord's knowledge.
To do so, it was necessary to be able to respond to the Guest.
So until we dug up on the past, Isaac wanted to secure this position.
Because I came to the idea, "If you can't figure out a good way yourself, you just have to imitate a good way".
I once thought of letting the merchants bid because I watched my grandfather accept the gift.
I don't need to think about it all myself.
You just have to absorb the good things about others.
Isaac's dream is magnificent for an individual to see.
Instead of sticking to your way, take in the way you thought was good.
This "I have memories of my previous life and have learned in a world where civilization is developing," cannot be done by people with all their self-esteem.
Abandon your pride and take in superior human thought methods.
Some places are immature as humans, but that's why we can grow as well.
It was something I could do because I realized I was a normal person.
After a while, Baron Lisgow remained conceived.
A burning Isaac opens his mouth first.
"It's a joke, I'm sorry. I didn't really get to talk to the adults, so I didn't know how much jokes would make sense."
Baron Lisgow loosens the muscles on his tense cheeks.
"Was that a joke? Isaac is a bad person, too."
"I'm sorry"
That's what I said, and Baron Lisgow laughed.
Isaac laughs at it too.
Just as a servant came to get Baron Lisgow, so we also opened our conversation with Isaac.
When Isaac dropped him off, he turned to Norman.
"Baron Lisgow made such a joke and I didn't laugh. I mean, can I assume that you think it's something that's not enough to take my story or something?
It's no surprise that if you're an ordinary nobleman, you're angry that you're "disrespectful" at the time you hang "royal" and "Isaac, who's just a grandson of a minister" on your balance.
I received that Baron Lisgow had reacted in such a way that he thought, "I don't need to answer child crap or anything."
So he didn't get angry, he didn't try to get Isaac in a good mood, and he kept his mouth shut.
(I knew it was a child, so will I still be insulted...)
- I'm not afraid enough yet.
Isaac thought so.
I had a backwards thought that I still didn't have enough track record and that people wouldn't listen to me.
"No, that was a seriously troubling look when you answered 'I'm royal' and you seem to be taking Isaac lightly, and if you answered 'I'm Isaac'... Why were you asked such a mean question?
"Hey, I was acting as a lord last year, and I was wondering how much you appreciated it. hahahaha"
Isaac laughed and misled.
staring at it with an indescribably complex look,
Because I thought it would be a big deal if they called me in.
But I have no problem with that.
Even when he was called in, he said, "Baron Lisgow was rooting for my brother. He's trying to fall for me with a false report," because he was going to say it back.
(Well, at least you're not lost. Will you obey me if I give you the profit that comes with me properly and the fear of betrayal?
Nor is Isaac so wrong.
If there is something wrong, it would be that fear is given enough.
At least, Baron Lisgow doesn't need any more fear.
Differences in perception had occurred because of the discrepancy between Isaac's self-assessment and his surroundings.
This is likely to be corrected as we sit back and talk with many nobles.
Norman, who doesn't know what Isaac is really thinking, teaches Isaac to appreciate.
"Master Isaac is doing well. Especially since you think everyone did a good job of acting as lord last year. More than that, it can be misunderstood in such a way of asking questions. You wonder what the aristocrats think, but ask them differently"
"Yeah, I'll be careful."
Norman tells me the general theory.
For Isaac, who in various ways has no general sensibility of this world, he was instrumental as a barometer to gauge the reaction around him.
His assessment by the secretaries of the veterans was "neither acceptable nor impossible".
But that's why Isaac used it heavily.
- A normal person whose range of knowledge assists her distorted self.
I can feel safer with this much stuff around me than the one who is too good.
Isaac himself, he's not going to do everything by himself.
So I'm not asking Norman to do everything perfectly either.
If you need a staff officer, you can have a separate staff officer.
Ask Norman to play the role Norman can play.
He swore his allegiance to me.
Isaac thought we should grow together.
----------
Around August.
Isaac was staring at the ceiling and thinking in his own room.
By this time, there was just something I could understand.
- That I'm being seen overlapping Jude.
I was only talking about business, something I had never noticed before.
casual chatter during customer service.
I could feel the fear that appeared in the verses of words.
At first, he said, "Is it the effect I've done? I thought," but Isaac was feeling more than that.
I wondered if Isaac would ask Norman.
"Isn't Master Isaac overlapping Master Jude? Of course, you don't think your face is similar. It means similar behaviors and thoughts."
- The answer came back.
So I finally noticed Isaac, too.
The glory of my great-grandfather Jude wasn't just keeping his actions from being called "demon-possessed".
- Negotiate with people.
With all that, everyone was superimposing Jude on Isaac, so it was going well.
(Right. Because of the amount of threatening material, nobility is not as sweet as listening to the kid. It's very convincing.)
It wasn't Isaac's bad way.
Jude's shadow remained colorful in the back of the brains of those involved, only to exert tremendous influence.
Even without influence, Isaac's talent would have been recognized not so far away.
I was just saying that made it quicker.
Isaac knows about it.
That's why I was able to take a positive approach to the next step.
(I have three generations of laws, so I'm not just saying you're on guard just in case. Turns out he's mistaken me for being the same as all those amazing people this year. Be glad that future activities will be easier to do than lament that it wasn't your own power. Whatever you say, the effect of hacking will be amazing. You don't have to say it's clear. They should dance like funny just to make you smell like you have a back in your words)
My surroundings are mistaken on their own.
I don't have a hand in not using it well.
There's also the possibility of eating a painful cliche when you fail, but you can't do anything for fear of risk.
Isaac thought that we should now make the most of this great-grandfather's Seven Lights.
"Huh-uh."
If you noticed, Isaac was laughing.
Hold your mouth with your hands immediately.
(No, no, no. This way of laughing, it's like Michael. I'm not like him)
Even with that in mind, I found out that I had acquired a powerful weapon, so I did something about it.
(Now that I think about it, the Marquis Wilmente was modest on his children, too. If we make a good plan, can we be on our side?
I felt like Isaac's future flickered at once.
It is a valid trump card for those who were Lord of the Kingdom of Reed.
- How do I use it?
I can hear Isaac knocking on the door thinking about it.
"Dear Isaac, it's hard!
I hear Norman through the door.
"It's open."
When I replied, the door was opened immediately.
Norman's face is blue.
"What's going on?
"They say Dwarves have attacked one of the rock salt mining sites! There's a report that you're fully armed, not in a friendly atmosphere!
"What!
Too unexpected and sudden contact with an opponent whose weapon you have acquired is ineffective.
Isaac had solidified himself with a surprising opening of his mouth to meet a new species called Dwarf.
