As he was dragging the man by his back, all eyes were immediately focused on him within the Chatelaine territory.

“What situation is that?”

“Oh my god. Aren’t you one of the people in charge of the old Chatelaine Festival?”

“You finally get the job done…! They said I wouldn’t give orders so I just stayed quiet!”

A gaze full of anger.

A discourse full of criticism and criticism.

In the end, Karssein’s perception in the Chatrene territory was like this.

In fact, no matter which territory you step on, Karssein’s perception is that he is crawling on the floor. Therefore, there was no territory in this world that could welcome the person who had the stigma of Shatrene’s shame.

For that reason, the first hurdle in this quarter is when Karssein makes his first mistake.

Conflict with territory residents.

It comes back as a choice rush.

-Tiring!

▶The residents of Chatrene are gossiping about you. What would you like to do?

‘How can I do it?’

Looking at it now, this choice is really vicious.

There’s only one answer, but it’s made up to be a choice and there’s another way…

There is nothing I can do about the fact that I received temporary lordship authority at the symposium. They hoped that their territory would not be selected, but there was nothing they could do about the selected area.

However, from their perspective, they also have the right to legally evict them.

Damage suffered by the territory.

Policies in a direction that residents do not want.

A behavior surrounded by a vicious system and authoritarianism.

There are countless ways to express your dissatisfaction. If these dissatisfaction accumulates, there will be a way to evict even a temporary lord from the territory.

That’s why they are eagerly waiting for a situation in which they can claim that Karssein has committed evil acts.

[ 5. Ignore it and move on. ]☑

Among the other options, I see a few that have room for refutation or explanation, but that’s just from my perspective, and Youngji’s side won’t feel that way.

Perhaps they are thinking of using this as an excuse to interpret it as revenge or a threat and then expel Karssein from here. I couldn’t be stupid enough to fall into that trap.

I ignored their criticism and headed to a location.

-Tiring!

▶An inspection event will occur in the first week due to a problem caused in the village.◀

‘It seems like this is going as expected.’

Even though the residents are criticizing me right now, it’s inevitable that problems will arise.

Although they may be confused by the presence of the traitor right now, the news spreads quickly, so the residents of Chatrene will soon raise this issue to the symposium.

And the response to that agenda…

Basically, you have to use that item.

◆Suspicious Request

[ A deed carried out by someone in the Chatrene territory at the request of another territory. ]

Another territory entrusted a request to settle the deficit in Chattren.

Chattren’s support money was exhausted due to this.

By revealing these two facts, Karsein can easily explain the agenda. What made this explanation possible was an item given by Ferdi called a suspicious request.

Currently, the support fund for Chatrene is being paid directly by Karssein and not by anyone else, so if that fact is revealed, the agenda will quickly die down.

The residents then search for the enemy within. This leads to a change in perception towards Ferdi, who belatedly bows his head to Ferdi, who has turned into a cold corpse thanks to his silence.

‘…It’s only after you leave this place that others will know the intention of your actions.’

Why is there such an unpleasant and absurd development?

Annoyingly, it seemed like it would bring back bad memories.

Anyway, that’s the story that went on in the existing game.

However, that future has now been shattered by saving Ferdi with my own hands, and the items have been consumed by giving them to the residents, making them unusable.

‘…I might have to suffer some losses in terms of grades.’

Still, I don’t have any regrets about saving him.

This is a guy who has done the right thing alone, even going through all kinds of bitter criticism and harsh criticism, just to protect the territory where he was born and raised…

Even if you go to Rusmire, you won’t have any problems.

Right then.

“Master Karssein!”

Ferdi came running calling my name.

“Oh my god.”

“That kid is the one who steals, right?”

“Why did you come to visit Master Karssein?”

As soon as the guy was seen, the surrounding residents also became louder.

It was an accusation that made the corners of my eyes flinch as I asked why the guy who was a stain on Chattrene was here.

“I don’t know why you came here, but go back. Ferdi.”

Although it’s not as bad as mine, he also has a pretty bad perception.

I left it alone because I asked for it to be the last time before heading to Rusmire, but I didn’t want the last thing I heard to be that kind of gossip.

However, this guy was stronger than I feared.

“Of course I don’t want to go to Rusmaier!”

“What?”

“I don’t really want to go. I want to stay here!”

Ferdi said.

This is where I was born and raised.

He said he wanted to stay in that kind of place forever, and that he didn’t want a comfortable place to stay.

and.

“I don’t mind hearing that as much as I want!”

Boldly, I let those words out of my mouth.

What is this guy, who is only fourteen years old and the same age as little Flora, talking about?

Even if he stays here, he will be accused of being a thief anyway, so it is absolutely right to just send him to Ruthmire.

but.

‘The eyes are quite lively.’

Those eyes were full of the will to accomplish something.

That alone seemed stronger than anyone else in this territory.

“You might regret it, right?”

“I’ve already regretted it several times in the past!”

I just said it off the top of my head. I never thought you would answer so boldly.

I wonder if he is a fourteen-year-old kid.

okay. This guy must have been different from the start.

This is why I tried to do something on my own.

It has been a long time since adults were deceived and suffered, so what does it mean to have the spirit to protect one’s own home?

Even if I was a little older, even if I was a little bigger.

If only I had learned and practiced a little more and accumulated more knowledge in my head.

The Shatren territory would never have come to this point.

Because people like this are truly exemplary human beings who should be at the top.

-Tiring!

▶You can designate Ferdi as the agent target.◀

※What is an agent?

[Unlike the helpers in existing episodes, this is a helper who exerts greater influence within the Symposium episode and helps manage the territory in many ways. ]

[ Agents can only be assigned to NPCs within the territory, and will unconditionally carry out the lord’s mission without rejecting it. ]

[ However, there are only three agents that the player can designate. Please specify after careful consideration. ]

Did this eventually go away?

This helper of the symposium, called an agent, is the person who faithfully carries out my orders in episodes related to the territory.

This effect is so powerful that even residents of the gray box with very low intimacy will listen to my commands without rejecting them if I am designated as an agent.

Of course, as it has such a powerful effect, there is a tendency for backlash to follow, so to those who can be trusted. It is also better to use it on a target with sufficient intimacy. That way, your performance will increase.

The target was decided from the beginning.

Daughter of the Shatren village chief. Trisha.

She was the right person for the job, as she showed no hostility toward Karssein from the beginning.

but.

[ Ferdi ]

[Blind faith: 42%]

If you look at this window along with his determination, Ferdi won’t be put off either.

“I’ll tell you more details later, so go to where I’m staying first.”

When I lowered my waist and whispered that, the guy lowered his head in tears, as if he didn’t think he would be accepted.

“…Do you really trust me?”

“Okay.”

“I am a guy who has stolen dozens of times in the village. I don’t know if it will hurt you too…”

Tuk.

“You were the only one who truly tried to save this territory. If you’re like that, you won’t doubt it.”

“…”

There is “. I’ll finish the rest and go back.”

I know very well what it means to be suspected.

I’ve been sick and tired of what it feels like to be accused of being a criminal and being criticized even though I haven’t done anything wrong.

So I could understand to some extent what his position was like. So I wanted to give him a chance.

-Tiring!

▶We are hiring Ferdi as our agent!◀

[List of Chatelaine Territory Agents]

[1. Ferdi]

[ 2. ]

[3.]

A chance to change my twisted hometown.

-Tiring!

▶Hidden episode. Cleared the story of a boy who wanted to protect his only hometown.◀

▶We succeeded in bringing about a result that went beyond the options!◀

▶Compensation will be paid!◀

■Compensation

[Scheduled visit events will proceed automatically. ]

▶The planned visit event has been held.◀

▶Take the internal enemies found in the territory and move to the reporting area.◀

‘Planned visit?’

As my memory is limited, I do not know every episode or event in a row.

But I think I’ve heard that before somewhere.

Clearly, it was an episode in which someone came to see us as the existing episodes unfolded.

‘Hmm… Even so, there’s nothing we can know right now.’

Since the place I had to go was the same anyway, I walked calmly to the place the status window wanted me to go.

***

“Hmm… So this man was causing damage to Shatren by receiving a request from another territory?”

“Yes.”

When I reached the reporting area, two drivers were waiting for me, and I readily threw the guy away and told them.

The ability to deal with internal enemies that existed in the game appears to have still been maintained, and the original development was followed without any problems.

“I understand. We will take this person directly.”

Afterwards, it was said that the culprit would be transferred to the imperial family and tortured.

It was the same as the dialogue in the game.

Afterwards, after torturing this man who caused damage to Chatrene, he will provide information such as who arranged the arrangement.

Of course, this game won’t leave any traces like that.

‘I guess I can take a breather with this.’

When the first week’s report meeting is held, Shatren’s sluggish status will undoubtedly be pointed out and attacked, but if news gets inside that he has taken on a request from another territory, there will be no points deducted even if there are no clear changes.

Feeling relieved, I turned my back.

“Ah. for a moment. There is someone who requested an interview to see you.”

“Interview?”

During the symposium, you must obtain permission from the imperial family when meeting with other nobles. That means someone is waiting.

“They said they would be waiting for me about 2 hours ago. The person waiting for you is─”

Claire Bagrand.

The name that came out of the knight’s mouth was none other than the second child’s name.
