So the lord's son is the new lord?
No, I don't think so. I don't know what's going on, but I have to get the King's permission.
But you've been doing a lot of things, haven't you?
Well, I'm going to be a lord, you know.
The story goes back about a week ago. The lord, who had been ill for a long time, had passed away. The inhabitants of the town were saddened by his death, but there was one person who rejoiced: the lord's son. He imposed all sorts of taxes on the inhabitants to make up for their grief.
It is said that the badass adventurers were rampaging in the nick of time, calling the lord's name.
So why was the orphanage attacked, it seems that they were after the land here. Even though it is within the walls of the inner city away from the center of the city, it has quite a bit of space with buildings, squares and fields. In this developing town, it would still sell for a high price.
And this is the land that the rector of the school leased from the lord. It's free, even though it's a loan, it's supposed to be a semi-permanent loan if you run an orphanage. Of course, the contract was supposed to continue even if the lord was replaced by a new headmaster. It was supposed to be.
Apparently, the lord's son had made a contrivance while the lord was asleep, and as soon as the lord died, he began to claim that the contract was over. Of course, the rector had the contract in his possession and couldn't have changed it at will, and said it was full of problems and the story was null and void, but the other party was a nobleman, even if he was corrupt. Our argument doesn't hold water. We might be able to manage it if we asked the lord of this region, who is in a higher position than the lord of this town, but it would be difficult to take the conversation to that point. That's why he's the lord of the town for that purpose.
''Speaking of which, what happened to the little ones?''
Yeah, they're taking us to safety.
They're here every day.
Apparently, the rattling adventurers were coming to the so-called landlords, and they were trying to get rid of the people in the orphanage by using force. Well, that didn't seem to be working either, but they didn't want anything to happen to them, so they evacuated the kids to the clan house or the farm. What they want is orphanage land, so the clan house seems to be fine. In the first place, the clan house was bought through the guild, so the lord probably can't touch it.
''So, what do we do now?''
Hmmm... I guess I'll just have to live here or leave?
''Well, thanks to Shu and the others, we have the option to leave.
First it was me, and now it's all about us.
In fact, thanks to everyone at the orphanage, I'm able to run my adventuring and production business, and I'm left to take care of my squires.
In the end, I guess it all depends on who you're dealing with.
Yes, if the lord's son and the rattling adventurers will continue to come in the future, I'll still have to think about giving up this place.
I'd like to have the town guards do something about it, but since my employer is the lord, I wonder how far they'll go to deal with it. I'll ask the usual gatekeeper next time.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
