The two men broke into a cold sweat.

It may have been bad luck that I didn’t get hit by the pottery shards, but as I saw Carcein entering the seed warehouse, I thought I had taken my chance.

Karsein already carries bad labels.

It would have been possible to use this as an excuse to neutralize or expel Karssein’s power from the territory, as he was already carrying bad labels.

“Even if I am a temporary lord, I cannot tolerate it. Are you just taking the seeds we made like this?”

“Nonsense…! Put it down now! This is theft!”

However, when they actually came up with a reason to kick him out.

Carcein’s answer left the two men speechless.

“Chatlaine strawberries and chatlaine grapes grow by eating mana from their seeds, so it is best to thin them out periodically. In the process, some seeds have to be removed. Was that action wrong?”

“…!”

I wondered how much I would know about Chatrene anyway. Even so, I thought that the person who just ruined our land wouldn’t even know what this warehouse was used for.

However, that remark acts as a wall to the point that he cannot even be refuted to accuse him of being a thief.

There is a justification for the act of thinning the seeds, and there is support for taking some of these seeds because they consume mana to grow, so some must be removed.

The only people who know this information are those who have lived in the Shatrene Territory. It was impossible to know unless they had planted chatelaine strawberries and chatelaine grapes.

In this situation, how on earth could they accuse Karssein of being a thief?

The two men have no choice but to send signals to each other.

‘hey!’

‘okay. ‘This can’t be helped!’

There is no choice but to retreat.

I don’t know if you studied or where you got the information, but this method was a huge failure.

However, the two men were unable to move their feet.

“Ha. What kind of shitty situation is this right now?”

Under the pink bangs, the hidden inside of the wall glowed brightly.

“Huh!”

“K, Miss Claire…”

The second lady of Bagland.

The fact that she had heard this entire conversation made my mind go blank.

***

‘Of course it is.’

They dared to accuse the temporary lord of being a thief.

Also, after seeing the extremely normal behavior of thinning out the seeds so that the mana does not concentrate and affect one side.

The control of the conversation had already passed to me.

If I caught them trying to run away and escalated the situation slightly, and reported this situation like before, I might be able to ask for something like when I gained the right to manage part of the Shatren territory by making a lie an issue.

If we used the agent’s abilities to solve the problem here, we could have expanded the scope of what we can do one step further.

But things don’t work out that easily.

-Tiring!

▶A specific event occurred and a character invaded!◀

▶The target is Claire!◀

▶Please select an option.◀

Unfortunately, at this time, an event occurred where a character broke into the scene.

If this was an event I knew about, I would have been able to choose the correct option to deal with it, but that wasn’t the case.

Unlike the development of existing games, the process of accepting the second agent has been greatly shortened, and this location also has no place to come. I came because I thought I could make a small profit because Trisha told me about it.

An event even occurs here? Is there an event where so many characters invade and there is so much more to think about?

In this case, there are too many variables. An event is an event, but given that there are choices, there is a high possibility that it will have a bad ending where you let someone be carelessly punished and die in a completely unexpected way due to anger.

As the risk was so great, I had no choice but to turn my judgment toward reducing losses as much as possible rather than taking advantage.

‘First, I need to synthesize the information. ‘Is it… Claire who came to see me?’

With that hot-tempered personality, there’s a high chance that he’ll point out my problems.

To deal with that first, this seems like a good option.

[ 3. I did make a mistake. Looking at his actions so far, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was suspected of being a thief. ]☑

“I did do something wrong. Looking at his actions so far, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was suspected of being a thief.”

Isn’t it obvious that someone will be falsely accused anyway?

If that’s going to happen, we need to minimize the damage from here.

“Well, who would have guessed that in Shatlaine? No matter how you looked at him, he probably looked like a thief. Just like it was in the Duke’s house.”

Now, if you hear a few words, you won’t feel offended or anything like that. However, now I am in a position to draw a line.

“If you did something wrong, the Duke family will say something. Because the symposium is currently in progress.”

The symposium is in progress, and I am the temporary lord of Shatlaine territory. If there is a problem related to grades, I am the only one responsible for it.

If I drew a line like that, Claire’s intimacy would be reduced a bit right away, but I felt like she would go back to the Duke’s house or something.

however.

“Wrong? under. What are you talking about now?”

Claire turned her head this way and got angry.

“Or maybe there is another reason? Let’s talk somewhere. Listen.”

“You…”

what. Isn’t that what it sounds like?

The bitch who always looked down on me no matter what I did suddenly became silent.

“Fuck. it’s okay. Because I will beat those bastards myself!”

I immediately blocked Claire’s path.

“What are you doing? now. Don’t you get out of the way?”

“As I said before, everything that happens in this territory is under my jurisdiction as the temporary lord. There is no room for you to intervene. Claire.”

“You idiot!”

Claire couldn’t hold back and started swearing.

“I’m not calling you a thief! Those bastards are doing this because they frame the innocent person as a thief!”

under. This crazy bitch knew that and did such a stupid thing… No. Anyway, the target is those guys, right?

“Hey, you guys there.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Get out of here quickly.”

“Hey. Karssein!”

“Hiik!”

“I told him to fuck off. Or does it look like you just want to stand here and get caught?”

The two men then ran away in a hurry. I was successful in dropping it for now.

“Ha, Karssein you…!”

Claire jumped up and grabbed me by the collar.

“Are you really an asshole? Are you going to let go of the bastards who accused you of being thieves?”

“It looks like my tongue is going to be ripped out by your hand, so why don’t you just leave it alone?”

“Of course you should do that! You are the spirit child of the Vagrand Duke family. Those crazy bastards have no right to talk shit about you who did nothing wrong!”

At those words, the blood in my whole body suddenly cooled.

“I absolutely cannot allow something like this to be left unattended. Get out of the way because we have to catch them right away.”

under. This is ridiculous.

I laughed and turned my attention to the options window.

-Tiring!

[ 1. I am the temporary lord of this land. ]

[ 2. I will punish you myself. You go back. ]

[ 3. Can’t we just count it as a mistake and move on? ]

I don’t know which is the right answer, but what I have to say is decided.

[ 1. I am the temporary lord of this land. ]☑

“I am the temporary lord of Shatlaine. Have you ever thought about what the repercussions would be if you punished those two?”

“What is wrong with a commoner bastard daring to try to frame a lord, especially by climbing up to the Duke of Bagland?”

“Of course. There is no way in this territory that will be left alone.”

Really, there is no such thing as thinking.

Rather, I think that that action makes things bigger.

There is also the question that my position will be further diminished due to that retaliation.

I couldn’t even think of a future where that would be an even more toxic behavior for me.

“It would be very interesting to hear a rumor that the temporary lord of Shatlaine was unable to deal with what happened in his land and reported it to other lords. Wouldn’t it actually sound like you’re asking that person for this land?”

“…!”

“If you want to inform Shatrene of my incompetence… No, this time, if you want to inform the entire empire beyond the Vagrand Dukes, then you can do that. Arina will jump out at you, saying you’re bringing shame to the family. Yes.”

I got out of there, feeling my blood run cold.

Is it really the second thing that blocks the path ahead?

No matter what I do, it completely overlaps with my second child, who only looks at me negatively, and to my surprise, old memories come to mind again.

-hey. Are you an asshole? You could clearly hear the interns swearing at you, so why did you just ignore it?

If I catch them and tell them what to do, how will the other interns, low-level employees, and workers who work with those people turn out?

It doesn’t end with just spreading rumors. This will spread throughout the company and they will all be looked at with disdain and disgust. From now on, no one will want to work with me because a precedent has been set.

There is nothing good about making enemies as long as you are working in the same company and seeing the same faces.

Since I couldn’t even think of that simple thought, the second bitch told me to tell her.

This time too, nothing is different as long as you change the company, territory, interns, and residents.

It was normal for me to get scolded no matter what I did, but it was still the second child’s responsibility to block the way forward by doing other things.

-Tiring!

After some time, a message appeared saying that the event had been cleared. I glanced behind me just in case, but there was no one following me.

“True… then and now, second-tier bitches have to talk like this to understand.”

***

Claire came to bring Carcein a handwritten letter that her mother had asked her to deliver in person with a cheerful expression.

She entered the Chatrene estate and found Karssein entering the warehouse, so she followed him. With a little excitement.

But the excitement doesn’t last long. During a conversation with two villagers, I rolled my eyes when I witnessed a shameful scene where they were trying to frame their owner.

Dare, to my master. That too to Bagland.

And to my brother.

Are you trying to frame me?

I was planning on punishing him thoroughly.

We wanted to set a good example so that the same things from the past would not repeat themselves.

I wanted to drive a nail in the coffin so that Karsein would never experience something like that again.

However, that foolish thought was like repeating the past again.

Claire chewed her lips.

“Ha… fuck. Why am I so stupid?”

How can such a stupid bitch exist?

Nothing has changed.

You can only see one and not both.

I was so caught up in my emotions that I almost grabbed my younger brother’s ankle again.

Just like the time I sent a warning letter to the Earl of Lilpeten.

And you’re still my sister?

And still family?

-Kwaak.

Claire, unable to bear the pain, completely ruined her hair. She hated having her hair ruined, but now she had completely messed it up with her own hands.

“…Okay. I shouldn’t come here just acting emotionally. If you really, really want to help Karssein…”

Take a step away.

Not in front of you, but a little further away.

We need to find another way. Don’t ruin things by getting directly involved.

-Tiring!
