Chapter 13: Drintor’s Deputy Governor

Cain quickly gave up on writing responses to all the letters in his mansion in the royal capital, and transferred to his mansion in Drintor.

In order to report everything to his older brother, Alec.

“Eeh!? You’ve been promoted to a count!?”

Alec’s surprised voice resounded throughout the office. Darmeshia was standing behind Cain, seemingly in good spirits.

Cain’s promotion to viscount had been unexpected, but now he had been promoted to a higher-rank noble, a count.

After that, Cain told Alec how Drintor would have to pay taxes to the country as punishment for his failure.

However, Alec smiled at the apologetic Cain.

“That’s no problem at all. Thanks to the number of people having grown, not to mention the job offices, we’ve got enough finances to pay taxes no problem. On the contrary, it was strange for them not to tax such a healthy territory. Moreover, you said it was the basic tax amount? With Drintor, that’s no problem at all. We could even pay twice as much as that and still have some money to spare.”

Cain patted his chest in relief at Alec’s answer. Lula and Laura also expressed their congratulations, making Cain scratch his head in embarrassment.

And finally, there was one last thing he had to tell Alec.

“And then… Alec-nii-sama, next week, could you come to the royal capital with me?”

“Yeeeeah…? For the preparations for your announcement party you talked about earlier, right?”

Cain, took a deep breath, then opened his mouth.

“Well, actually… Alec-nii-sama, – – you will be made a baron.”

At Cain’s words, Alec’s eyes widened, his mouth hanging open.

He was so surprised he seemed to have lost his voice for a little while.

“W-why… is this happening all of a sudden!?”

Even though he was quite the excellent deputy governor, not even Alec could hide his surprise.

“Yeah, well, you see– –”

Let’s rewind time a little.

The audience was over, and Cain was discussing what would happen after that with the king and the others.

“Your Majesty, I have a request…”

“What? Being so formal… that’s not like you at all.”

“Well, I have now been promoted to a count, but I will have to stay here in the royal capital more and more, no…?”

“Yes, I need you to be here in the royal capital at least half of the year. I can’t even imagine what sorts of things you’d get up to if you were holed up in your territory.”

Cain took a deep breath, then opened his mouth.

“Drintor has been developed and now has grown to ten-thousand inhabitants. I will be developing the town further from now on. If I were to stay here in the royal capital for a long time, it would place a burden on my brother Alec, who is my deputy governor there. There’s a forest of monsters near Drintor, which contains dungeons too. If something were to happen, the deputy governor– –”

“Cain, say no more. I think I know what you want to say. You have now joined the ranks of the higher-rank nobles. It would be good if your deputy governor were also a noble.
