I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess

60 – Barony of Isquente (2)

The last dessert was a pudding with fruit.

Sirien became angry and ate the pudding one bite at a time.

“Do you want to eat mine too?”

“That’s okay…… ?”

“I’m not really into sweets right now.”

“Then I want to eat! Thank you.”

An expression with a bright smile. I liked it so much that it was worth giving up pudding.

Meanwhile, I ate some more meat to fill my stomach, and Sirien munched on the pudding with a completely melted expression.

The Baron…… I was still swimming in a swamp of frustration.

“Should we recruit friendly nobles first…?” … ? Even so, how many nobles are there who can stand in opposition to the Marquis of Eloran? ….”

Baron Isquente was a person who was treated as a heretic in aristocratic society.

On the northern front, commoners who made military achievements that were sometimes excessive became nobles.

Among the great historical nobles, there were quite a few who looked unfavorably on these new nobles.

The Marquis of Eloran seemed to think that the new nobles were a threat to his position.

Well, it wasn’t completely wrong.

As the commanders of the Northern Front become stronger, the voice of the Marquis of Eloran eventually becomes smaller.

Former Marquis of Eloran. The grandfather I knew didn’t seem to have much interest in such power struggles, but it seemed different this time.

Baron Isquente suffered for a long time and then let out a scream.

“aaah! Oh God. Why are you putting me through this ordeal? I can’t see it. It’s getting dark before my eyes and I can’t see my future at all. I was wrong. “I’m sure I’ll die like this!”

“If you don’t eat, I will eat this too?”

“That’s not possible, saint. “I will eat from now on.”

“Tch.”

Sirien clicked her tongue.

In the meantime, I guess I was aiming for a new dessert.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him be so greedy.

“Eight. First, I’ll have to take some time to think about it. Then, some good idea will come to mind. How much does the Marquis of Eloran know about this?”

“Well. “I think I know for sure that the information about the secret was leaked.”

“What happens next is uncertain. Ugh, it still sends a chill down my spine to think that I may have been harmed without knowing. “This is truly an unexpected harvest.”

“If you’re grateful, that’s… ….”

“No. Are you going to eat now? Instead, I got the book you asked me to get last time. “Please bear with it this time.”

Baron Isquente flatly refused.

As he was eating the pudding so greedily, he seemed worried that it might get stolen.

Anyway, I don’t think Sirien will steal it.

Her companion, the saint, pouted her mouth and put a grape into her mouth.

“If you have a big appetite, you will be punished.”

“I don’t want to hear from the saint. Oh, Lord Rajen, are you going straight to the training ground?”

“If nothing special happens. “Is Lord Malone here?”

“Yes. That was until I went to pick them up. Well, it looks like you’ve finished eating, so shall we see you later? “Saint, please follow me.”

“I’ll be back soon.”

I waved Sirien off and headed towards the backyard of the mansion.

After sending Rajen away first.

I followed Baron Isquente to the study.

The Baron would often get me books I needed like this.

There was a history book that I had previously asked for, but it seemed to have been obtained sooner than expected.

They said it would take a few more weeks because it was a difficult book to get. As expected, Baron Isquente was a person who would somehow find an answer if he was pressed hard.

While walking down a long hallway.

It seemed quiet for some reason, but then his chatty mouth opened again.

“Saint. I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“Lord Rajen, how far have you gone?”

“What, what?”

Baron Isquente looked at me as if he couldn’t understand.

It was absurd. Am I the one who is embarrassed by the current situation?

“What are you saying all of a sudden?”

“That’s right, isn’t it? You said you were always aware of other people, but this time you went to Requitas just the two of you. “You really haven’t made any progress there?”

“Progress? “I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”

“No, saint. Did nothing really happen? A man and a woman went to Requitas alone, but did she really just come to work? “Didn’t you want to connect with Lord Rajen?”

“Wow, it continues. Shut up!”

I quickly looked around, but luckily there was no one around here.

If even one employee overheard this, they would all have to die for my honor and dignity.

How can you say something like that without blinking?

There was no place to focus due to embarrassment.

Maybe I was thinking wrong. Don’t care if this guy dies or not.

It would have been better to make a deal with the Marquis of Eloran!

“You. “Something happened earlier, do you have the energy to worry about something like this?”

“Ah, that is that and this is this. It’s not a problem that can be answered by thinking about it right away, so why bother? “I will sit at my desk in the office and think about it.”

“That’s obnoxious.”

“So you don’t need my help?”

…… But Baron Isquente was my ally.

After he sensed my emotions with his extraordinary insight, he was secretly giving me strength.

It was a complete secret that I liked Razen. How on earth did you know?

Anyway, I desperately needed help right now.

If necessary, you can even borrow a cat’s hand.

“Well, nothing happened.”

“Finally! At las!”

“Shh! “What are you going to do if someone hears it?”

“Why don’t I have that much sense? There’s no one around here. So I’d like to hear what happened. Of course, there’s no need to be too detailed. hahahaha! “I’m not that shameless.”

Is there anything shameless in telling this story?

Anyway, I was glad I had a chance to show off. Because it was a car that I was already itching for.

I stretched out my wrist towards the Baron.

It was deplorable that the Baron had yet to recognize this.

“Look at this bracelet. What do you think, pretty?”

“Uh…… ? Yeah, whatever. It’s a beautiful bracelet. Because the value of jewelry does not necessarily lie in expensive jewelry… …. “You look good on me.”

“Right? After all, you have some eyes to see. Rajen bought it for me as a gift. “I guess I got ready while I was picking out clothes!”

“I see… ….”

For some reason, Baron Isquente’s energy suddenly died.

Either that or not, it had nothing to do with me.

Rajen’s bracelet still sparkled on my wrist, and I loved the sparkle so much.

It was truly a perfect bracelet every time I saw it. These days, when I have nothing to do, looking at this bracelet has become my pleasure.

“You didn’t kiss Lord Razen?”

“Key, key, kiss! “Such shameless!”

“I guess you didn’t do it. I thought so. “I’m not surprised.”

“Me and Razen don’t have that worldly and shallow relationship. Much, much more than that…….”

“So you don’t want to do it?”

“Ugh, ugh.”

I ended up imagining it.

My face felt hot so I washed my face dry.

No words come out. If you say something wrong now, you’ll look like a fool by biting your tongue.

No matter what country we are in, we now know about the relationship between men and women.

When you live among rough mercenaries, it is impossible not to know.

I have actually seen a kiss.

Will I kiss Rajen someday?

Mouths will touch, lips will rub against each other as if swallowing each other, and the slippery saliva will touch the tips of the lips and make them sparkle.

Then, meat offal comes into your mouth…….

“Huh! “Not yet!”

“Surprise! “What on earth were you imagining?”

“Shut up. “It’s because you said useless things.”

“Ahh! Don’t hit your shins. “That really hurts!”

Even though he hit the Baron’s shins five times, his anger did not go away.

It was so embarrassing to see her running around holding on to her legs.

“Ugh, you’re so skinny. “I’m trying to help out of pure goodwill, but you’re going too far.”

“What’s too much is your snout. “If you say something presumptuous one more time, I won’t leave you alone.”

“Write it. All right. I guess I was too anxious. “I was underestimating you both.”

After beating up her baron, my pounding heart calmed down a bit.

Rajen doesn’t even know I’m going through such a hard time, so she’s just swinging her sword in peace.

Thinking like that, Rajen was also offended. I definitely have to ask her to massage her shoulders today.

The Baron, who had been holding his legs for a long time, finally stood up again.

When we arrived at the study, a luxurious-looking book was placed on the bookshelf.

The Baron immediately handed over the book and smiled slyly.

“But, saint. You probably won’t have anything to do for a while anyway, right? “You will be free until that informant arrives.”

“I guess so.”

“Anyway, I need time in many ways. “Once things are sorted out, we can decide on the next plan.”

It was definitely like that.

From now on, the Baron will have to check his connections and calculate the amount of money he can extract from the top.

To do that, you must have more than one arm to lift. It wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two.

On the other hand, this was the most relaxed time for me.

Now that I have delivered the news to the Baron, the Marquis of Eloran’s matter is half out of my hands.

That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to do, but you will have a lot of time left to do it.

“So you want help?”

“Of course, we need the saint’s help, but that will be a story in a few days. So for now, how about taking a rest and enjoying the festival in my territory?”

“Are you having a festival here?”

“The harvest is over and the front line is peaceful right now, right? If not now, when will I enjoy it? “We’ll probably start tomorrow.”

The Baron came closer to me.

When I saw that he was whispering even though no one was around, it seemed like he was trying to tell me something important.

“Well, at this festival… ….”
