The next day, I arrived in Medwin territory.

“Thank you for coming. There’s nothing here, but please come in.”

Meran showed me around the mansion.

“There are no servants or anything for a mansion of this size.”

“I can’t pay the salary anymore. I’m giving everyone some time off.”

On closer inspection, the walls were dirty and cobwebbed.

The courtyard was weedy and unkempt.

“There are holes in it, so please be careful.”

“Can’t you fix it?”

“Ahh, we don’t have the money or the people…”

Meran said apologetically.

“This is father’s room. Father, Noel, is here.”

Meran knocked on the door and heard a weak voice.

“Well, let him come in.”

When I entered the room, I found a gray-haired man lying on the bed.

His cheeks were thin and gaunt.

“Thank you for coming. My name is Bilan Medwin.”

“I’m Noel Veigel. Meran-sama told me what happened.”

“Yeah, I didn’t see that coming either. I was confident in my ability to look at people, but…”

It seems that the shock was quite big.

“I heard that there was some talk of aid…”

“Oh, the neighboring Count Cerawyn, he has always been a greedy and selfish man who does not care about his people. His son is the same.”

“Why is such man the lord? Isn’t that a problem for a lord?”

“He seems to be connected to the business world and is using his money to keep mouth shut.”

“I see.”

I think we’d better destroy them. They might do some damage to our house.

Then, the door opened with a bang.

“Meran-sama, are you here? Hmm, oh? Noel-sama.”

“Ange-sama?”

It was Ange who came in.
