I Become a Rogue Lord in a World Where Only I Level Up

Chapter 62

The Royal Palace of Lunan.

"Uhahahahaha!　I believed in you. That's my girl. That's great. Really good job!

The King of Lunan greeted me with a joyful dance.

Well done. Erwin.

The Duke of Ronen was also generous with his praise. The problem is that it's only a compliment.

There seemed to be no intention of giving away that prize.

It's too obvious to see the spirit.

They seem to treat people like sitting ducks.

"Your Majesty, won't the entire Kingdom of Brigitte soon belong to Lunan?

Well. The troops we sent in afterwards seem to be doing well. Uhahahaha!

I don't care what anyone says, I'm the one who made it possible.

I declared this to the king's smiling face.

At those words, the king and Ronen looked at each other with a look on their faces as if the time had come.

With a fading smile on his face.

Already the atmosphere of my existence is to be taken care of when I am finished with the war.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. You never know the outcome. It might have been possible without you. Even with just Fihatri alone.

The king started such nonsense. Anyway, they're greedy guys.

"Your Majesty, I do not want much. And I'm destined to continue to fight for you in the future. I haven't done much, but would you give me a small reward?

The king coughed lightly and nodded when I mentioned yet another war.

Now with a look on my face that I have no choice because I still have a place to use it.

That's true. Credit where credit is due. No one says it's not. You should be rewarded. A reward. A gold nugget?

Don't be silly. There's plenty of gold. There's a lot more than Renan's finances.

"Isn't the gold an asset that His Majesty should use? If so, could I have one of the lands along the coast of the Kingdom of Brigitte?

"A territory on the coast?

Yes, there is a place called Loctoin. There is a place called Lochtein. I hear the coast is beautiful.

"Loktoin?　Hey!　Get the map now!

As soon as the king of Lunan heard the story, he spread the map in front of the audience chamber.

And directly point to its territory.

"Why the coastal territory?

Then Ronen asked a pointed question, as if he was reluctant to give up his little fiefdom, too.

I've always wanted a piece of land along the coast. A quiet little seaside. I'm going to use that estate as a vacation home. For women's play.

Oh, I see. Come to think of it, you're quite the philanderer, aren't you? Well, I wouldn't mind giving you one this big: ......

Then, may I have the imperial letter with the sacred seal stamped on it right now?

"Your Majesty, I didn't think there was much of a rush. Erhin, why don't you come back tomorrow for now?

Greedy Ronen. I suppose that means he won't give up a single piece of land easily.

I had no choice but to nod my head.

And the next day, I had another audience with the king.

There was no telling what Ronen had done in that one night.

I'm sure he did a thorough search for the land I said I wanted.

I'll have to reward them for their continued use in future wars, but I'm sure they have no intention of handing over any land where I can grow in power.

I've discussed with His Majesty the coastal territories you mentioned.

Ronen said and pointed to a spot on the map.

I found a better place than you said," he said. It's an estate called Beltakin. There's really no place in the middle of nowhere, so you can enjoy yourself in terms of the relaxation you desire without being seen by the public at all. Haha. It's a territory completely surrounded by mountains. The coast is blocked off. No matter what you do, it's a place where no one can easily escape, don't you think?

The place he pointed to is a corner of Brigitte.

The coast and a small city.

Honestly, a flat land that is not even a city.

And a land completely surrounded by mountains.

It was really a territory with nothing but mountains.

"Can I have that territory?

Yes, I've already prepared an imperial letter with the imperial seal. I've already prepared the imperial document with the imperial seal. We've gone to a lot of trouble to find a better estate for you. You don't like it?

"No, it's not. ......!

They looked at me at the same time when they saw my expression clouding over.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. 'Your Majesty,'

"Oh, well, I'm glad you like it. Uhahahahahaha!

The king laughed vigorously, thinking that he could substitute a useless piece of land for a reward.

I came out of the palace to receive the imperial edict, laughing at the king in my heart.

Yes, with a sneer.

Ridiculing.

Beltakin.

This empty estate is exactly the land I was after from the beginning.

If I said I wanted a resting place, I knew that he would offer me this most useless land in Bridget's territory.

It's that king and that Ronen.

Probably Ronen chose this land while scoffing at my gaffe about the resting place.

I'm sure he thought that since I mentioned the word "resting place", he couldn't possibly refuse the Beltakin, which is the perfect place for it.

Of course, I had no intention of refusing it from the start.

The Beltakin has the most iron mines on the continent.

There is not much iron in Adrian.

They import it and use it, and its management is done by the royal family.

Therefore, it was something of a challenge to get iron.

This is because iron is a war material and is strictly controlled by all countries.

To get iron in such a situation is an enormous profit.

Of course, the iron in Beltakin is not known even in Bridget.

In the game, it was such a place that when you get the territory of Beltakin and start developing it, it's full of iron.

So, at this point in time, only I still know the information.

So.

What I desperately wanted more than Bridget in this war was this iron.

********

Jinto was unusually smiling in front of Adrian.

'You're in a good mood. I didn't know Zinto was laughing.

The one that didn't care what you gave him, but when it comes to talk about Milinette, it's different.

There were many things I found in the treasury of Bridget's palace.

I let Zinto choose a gift for Milinette from among them.

I could have let him have as many treasures as he wanted because there were so many of them.

But when you get so many treasures at once, it's less impressive.

A man coming home from war hands you one beautiful treasure.

That's cooler, right?

"Hey, I'm not laughing!　I just did some facial expression management.

What's that?

That's a problem, because I haven't gotten my bandages off yet.

Jinto is bandaged because the wound on his chest is still healing.

'I'm fine. When a man goes to war, he deserves to be injured. What are you talking about?

Yeah, right. Someone who talks big in front of me but can't say anything in front of Miline.

No, it's not.

Zinto categorically denies it.

Impossible. I can see him being taken away by pulling his ears.

Anyway, so Zinto and I returned to the territory.

It's going to get busier and busier now.

'Master!　Welcome home!

When I arrived at the gates of the estate, I was greeted by all the chief chamberlains and vassals who had received the information from wherever they were.

'Sir!'

The vassals kneeling on the ground.

But now I wanted to rest.

To be honest, I'm pretty tired.

I'm not an iron man, I'm just an ordinary modern man.

So, I'm going to stand up and order each of my men to stand up.

"Valet Master, I'll head to the lord's castle for now. Also, Haddin and Yusen will receive reports tomorrow from me in my absence!

"Very well, sir!

"Jinto, you're going to go to Miline.

Okay.

I got right into the carriage.

I'm going to level up and organize all the items after I sleep and wake up.

I'm going to put it all off and go straight to my bedroom.

When I arrived at the lord's castle and went inside, the maids all bowed their heads in unison.

'Never mind. Don't worry, everyone get back to work. I'm going to head to my chambers, chamberlain.

When I said that to the chamberlain and tried to go up the stairs

"Master, our guest is here to see you.

Customer?

Suddenly it's a guest?

"I'm tired today, you can wait until tomorrow.

"I'll get right to it.

"By the way, who's that?

A retainer should not be called a guest. So I stopped walking up the stairs and listened.

Because there was no guest scheduled to come.

'That's ....... It's a woman. You describe yourself as a princess .......

"What?

I've been stopping at the royal city of Lunan. So I'm sure she has a faster way to get to Aintorian than I did with my stop in Rosellen. Not impossible in time, though.

"She's here?

Yes. I would be here.

I should have asked the chamberlain, but the reply came out of the second floor parapet without a hitch.

On the second floor, there is a guest room for visitors.

'You, why ......!'

Eurasia gracefully came down the stairs and tilted her head.

'Aren't you too surprised?　It was you who said you would welcome me as a friend, right?

No, but

Then Eurasia looks around. It seems to be too crowded and uncomfortable.

'Let's go to the study for now.

"Yes. Let's do it.

I told the chamberlain not to come in and then moved with her to the study.

'Wow, so many books,'

Eurasian looked around the study and said, "It's still less than the royal study, right?

'But it's still less than the palace study, right?

You were right about that.

"Hmm?

The trouble kept coming back. The princesses, the nobility.

"Oh, that's the thing,

Yes. That's just the way it is.

"I thought you weren't going to be a king. That's not a joke. That's all, or that's all, I'm going to give up my brother's authority to be the general of the royal army. I'm becoming ridiculous. He jumped out, saying that if you threaten my brother's right to the kingdom, I will cut you all down. Even such a Rosellen would come to your aid if you are in danger again. ...... I don't even want to think about it right now.

I didn't know that.

"That was a joke.

"What?

It seems that my power in Rosellen is stronger than I thought. "My power in Rosellen seems to be stronger than I thought, so much so that I don't say anything but look at him. My brother also asks me if I need help, and that seems to be more of a problem, so I decided to leave Rosellen for a while.

"But ......

Eurasia twirled her hair around her fingers.

Then she smiled.

It's not like her.

In all the time we've been together in Rosellen, she's only smiled twice, once in the dark, and the second time for a fraction of a second.

Once in the dark; the second time was only for a moment.

It was much cuter to see her laugh with an open mind.

'There's another reason I came here.

"Another reason?

Eurasia took another step closer to me.

'There was something I absolutely had to ask you. So I came.

"You want to hear it?
