Noble Reincarnation~Blessed With the Strongest Power From Birth

Even after the Alice song was finished, the guests did not try to leave the store.

Most of them feel intrigued and watch what happens.

Because right outside the store, the deputy here was grounded with a gut tremor.

This shop is the type that keeps its entrance open all the time, and it's obvious from the inside.

The deputy is sitting in the ground frightened to death.

That, once a year - no, the rare occasion of whether we could be present once in a lifetime if we were bad - greatly stimulated the wild horse guts of our guests.

I'm taking my seat and sipping my tea slowly.

Because the entrance remains open, I can hear the interaction between the Underground deputy outside and the subordinate-like man on that side.

"No, no... oh, I can't anymore. Lorens, do something."

"I won't, Master Will. You come this far, you run away, you buy upset."

"So, but. His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince."

"But if you don't leave, the other way around, it's the worst. I'll follow you, sah."

The voice you hear is loud enough to hear the deputy's - perhaps the frightened but clear - man named Will.

That and his subordinate - the voice of a man named Lorens, who suppressed it low.

These two.

It is in the midst of a predicament that the true value of the person is questioned.

Waiting for that somehow, Will and Lorens came into the store.

Will sat down in front of me and slapped his head on the floor, and Lorens was looking at me with both knees on his face, three steps behind it.

"Pa, Pa, Pascal Will, as His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince, also, I say thighs"

"Pascal Will? You're our deputy."

"Ha, yes!

"I don't remember appointing you, but who appointed you?

"Hehe, Your Majesty has commanded you directly."

"I see."

Deputies Pascal Will was frightened enough to be pathetic to watch.

He nodded on the floor like a small animal and hasn't looked up once since he came in.

In the light of imperial law, Pascal is not a great sin.

It's common to invite people like Alice to sing in private places.

I'm just saying I forced that.

Sin is sin, but where I quoted heaviest, I'm talking about a month's pay cut or something there.

So I don't get so frightened.

"... Pascal. You know your sins?

"Yes! Yu, yu, I know it's unacceptable."

……

It's not that far.

I sighed, and then Pascal shuddered with a nod.

Sigh again at the reaction. Second, I got eyes on Lorens behind it.

Unlike the frightened Pascal, Lorens is calm all the time.

"Did you say Lorens?"

"Ha."

When I asked her, Lorens lowered her head for the first time.

And I immediately looked up and answered, staring straight into my eyes.

"My name is Lorens Barten. We are here to worship Master Will's clerk."

"Barten, are you from the west?

"My father."

"I see."

No distractions, no disrespect.

I had a crush on Lorens for answering the question.

Speaking of which, you were advising Pascal earlier.

"... Pascal"

"Ha, ha, no!

He's over here again! Pascal whose voice goes up all the time just saying that.

"Make me a document impeaching myself."

"Yes!.................................... Huh?

Pascal who answered reflexively and then couldn't understand what it meant and became proper.

Around, and lying down, he raised his face for the first time and asked for my complexion.

"Impeachment... yourself? is it?"

"Yes, what is wrong and how is it reasonable to punish it? Make it by this time tomorrow and get it to me. We'll talk about it later."

……

"What's the matter, or should I judge you now?

"Oh, that's..."

"Thank you Happiness"

In such a way as to block Pascal, who still did not understand what it meant, Lorens bowed his head and took Pascal away in the form in which he had received the order.

After the deputy was gone, the wild horses also walked away from the store on purpose.

"Thank you"

After all the guests had left and the shopkeeper had closed the entrance gate, an allice came that was away.

"Are you all right?

"Yes, thanks to Your Highness. Thank you for everything."

"Right."

……

……

……

……

Often, silence flows.

In such a way that I would lose that silence, I got to Alice.

"Why didn't you ask me why I let you do that?

"I just keep singing songs"

Alice answered without hesitation.

"I don't think that's the best way to repay your Highness, or anything else."

"I like that about you."

"Is there anything profound (,,) about what His Highness said?

It's not that deep.

That's what I explained to Alice.

"His Majesty's appointment, though bent, and not a great deal of sin. Impeach yourself - it's a reflection. So if you know what went wrong, that's fine, if you can't, I'll dispose of it then. If I had to make excuses, I'd take turns."

"I didn't know you were thinking that far... just fine"

"Can you sing me another song?"

"Pleasure!

While listening to Alice's song, I was looking forward to hearing from the man (,,).

The next day, the mansion's outer garden.

The enclosed grounds made me renovate the mansion so that it was clearly divided between the inner and outer gardens, following the royal tradition.

The inner garden is a part of a pure dwelling, where I and Audrey are in the main room, and only a maid can get in.

Built in accordance with His Majesty the Emperor's rear palace, no ordinary man can enter to protect the purity of the royal blood.

On the other hand, the outer garden has a study, a reception room, etc., and we do business and entertain guests here. Of course I can put in a regular man.

In that outer garden study, he was facing Don Oates.

Don became one of my men from that one three years ago.

I sat deep in my chair and Don stood in front of me and looked through two documents.

"Your Highness was right."

"Right."

What Don was reading was Pascal's "reflection."

That's two.

One did not know it was the royal decree of the thirteenth prince, and worked disrespect. Let's dispose of it. It feels like it.

The other is a reluctant commoner - that is, a reflection on what he has forced on Areche, and what he offers to be punished and demoted.

It was the latter that was officially sent to me, and the former was something I made to get in top secret.

"We've seen official documents from over there many times. It is Pascal's autograph that is disrespectful to His Highness, and it is Lorens' proxy that compels the common people."

"Right."

"That's just great, Your Highness. As His Royal Highness expected, that man named Lorens, he's a cutter."

"Oh."

It was as expected.

Seeing how Pascal and Lorens reacted yesterday, I first expected Pascal to come up with something equal to begging for his life or going off-target.

It seemed obvious.

I wasn't named then.

I wouldn't be guilty of being disrespectful if I wasn't named.

Perhaps Pascal tried to get out of it first, and Lorens stopped him, and that made it a sentence offering a penalty salary and demotion.

As expected from yesterday's reaction between the two of us.

"Do you want to do something about it?"

"Just the pay, that's about it from the beginning."

"Are you sure?

"Oh, if you can listen to your men, that's not too bad."

"generous willingness, that's just great"

"And will you go to Lorens?"

"Yes. On what business?"

"Give me this."

I took the box out of the concierge to the point where I held it with both hands and handed it to Don.

"What's this?

"It's a box made from fuwa and some of the rings. Once you've locked it, you'll only be able to open it to me."

"Ha...?

Why would you do that? Don tilting his neck.

"I'm pretty sure Lorens can use it better. So keep it, give me the tools to snitch when something happens."

"I see, for whistleblowing or something."

"That's what I'm talking about"

"That's just great!

That's what Don said, and he looked at the box with envy.

"What's up?"

"No, it's an honor to have this," he said.

"Honor, huh?"

I chuckled.

"Is it not?

"No, look at this"

I took another box out of my desk.

It's the same box I gave Don, but it's a worn out box.

"It... someone tried to steal the contents?

"No, this is because the one I got showed off"

"Shown off"

Don repeat the same words, in flat tones.

"Fluffy's watching you, don't use this for your original purpose, if you get it from me, and you brag about being trusted, it's a mechanism to self-destruct on the spot"

"- I see! Wow how it works, no, that's a great philosophy."

"People like that don't feel like using it."

When I said that, Don indicated his consent and left the study to deliver the box.

I lost the box.

I can no longer remember a name or a face about a person who betrayed my trust.

Is Lorens a man you can trust?

I was kind of hoping.
