Chapter 144: The Walls of the Governor’s Manor

The walls of the governor’s manor were painted a beautiful shade of white that was almost blinding to look at in the summertime light of early afternoon. The head carpenter, who was putting the finishing touches on the manor’s exterior, was clearly proud of what had been accomplished. With that said, the interior fell quite a bit short of what would be expected of a noble’s manor. The carpenters, working off of what they had observed from architecture in Bordeaux, applied all of their skills to the endeavor. Even so, they had only ever built houses in the countryside, and the finer details were a bit beyond them.

However, Seren hailed from House Bordeaux, which maintained a close relationship with the common folk, and she didn’t seem the least bit bothered by it. If anybody, it was her maids and servants who complained of what was lacking hither or what would make it difficult to work thither. Seren had traveled back and forth between Turnera and Bordeaux several times by now, transporting documents and tools to the new manor with each trip. These trips had been fretful at first, but now she was taking it all in stride and steadily finishing up the preparations to settle in Turnera as the chief’s aide. Although she was only his aide, the actual chief, Hoffman, seemed more than willing to retire and hand over his position.

Seren filed away a bundle of documents into her bookshelf, then turned to her guest. “Phew... That should do it.”

“Is that the last one?” Belgrieve asked.

Seren smiled. “Yes, thankfully... It took a long time to pick and choose what I’d take with me.”

“It’s quite a lot smaller here than your mansion in Bordeaux, after all...”

“Oh no, I was actually sorting through all sorts of documents I thought might be useful for my work here... Luckily, the reference room was untouched in that incident.”

Is that so? Belgrieve stroked his chin. It seemed that Seren had been assessing the state of things in Turnera, then going back to Bordeaux to look for any relevant documents—hence all the return trips. She explained how she’d gone through all of the old records from the oldest to latest, so it must have taken quite a bit of time. He had heard that Seren had a talent for bureaucratic affairs, perhaps owing to her earnest, hardworking nature.

A heavy woolen rug had been laid over the polished wooden floor of the office. The room was furnished with a shelf, an office desk, and a table with chairs to receive visitors. It wasn’t fancy, but it was practical.

“I believe people are talking about me becoming the next chief,” Seren said after sitting down.

“Yes, so I’ve heard.”

“But there’s no guarantee that I’ll remain in Turnera for the foreseeable future, sorry as I am to say it.”

Naturally... Belgrieve nodded. It would be unwise to keep someone of Seren’s talents holed up in this remote village forever. Once the dungeon—and everything else—had taken
