Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 442

"Yes, I would be interested in that. I've never left Bardia, so I'm very interested. But now that 'Papa' is having a hard time ・・・・・・."

When Tis said this, Mel made a batty face, "Oh ・・・・・・."

Her dad is Cross, Deputy Commander of the Order of Knights of Bardia.

He is currently at the "narrow fortress" at the border point as a check against the military exercises of the Grandek family and as a field commander.

Since he does not know what is going to happen, Tisu must be very worried inwardly.

"Mel. The Bardia territory is in a bit of chaos right now. When this settles down, I am sure that my father will take me to the imperial capital at the right time. Do you understand?"

Mother gave a small cough and gently reminded Mel, who shrugged and nodded.

"Yes, I do. Mother ・・・・・・."

The atmosphere in the room darkened a little.

I'd like to lighten the mood, but what should I do? As I thought about this, I remembered a letter I had received from the Imperial Capital.

Ah! Come to think of it, you were close to His Majesty Matilda when you were in the capital, right?

"Yes, I was. Even before Matilda-sama became Empress, she was very close to me. But what about it?"

""Actually, the other day, I received a letter from the Duchess of Lovelace, the family of Her Majesty Matilda, asking me to connect them with the Christie Chamber of Commerce.

The Duchess of Lovelace is one of the historic noble families that have belonged to the empire since its founding, and belongs to the conservative faction of the imperial aristocracy.

Within the faction, it is the second most powerful and influential after the Elaseniese family, and is a great noble family that lives up to its name of duke.

The current head of the Duchess of Lovelace is Augusto Lovelace.

He is said to be a man of strong sense of duty and reliability, and I hear that he has a close friendship with his father.

The content of the letter of intent is: 'I would like to increase the volume of business with the Christie Trading Company. Therefore, I would like to ask you to introduce me to Chris Safron, the representative of Christie Trading Company. If possible, please visit me directly at the residence of the Duke of Lovelace in the Imperial Capital after receiving my reply."

I contacted his father in the imperial capital via communication magic with Sylvia and he said, "The Lovelace family should have no problem with that. Tell Chris to be polite. If I have a chance to meet Duke Augusto next time, I will say hello to him as well."

So that's what ・・・・・・ is all about."

'Well, that's great. So, Chris and the others are already on their way to the Duke of Lovelace's residence in the imperial capital?"

Mother blinked her eyes as she finished her explanation.

The Duchess of Lovelace is a very big deal to her from the imperial capital.

No, Chris and the others are scheduled to leave tomorrow morning with a charcoal truck in tow, pulling a full load of goods.

Although it is a long distance from Bardia to the capital, the use of a charcoal truck will not only save time, but it can also tow a larger load than a horse-drawn wagon.

Of course, it is also to show off the connection between the Christie Chamber of Commerce and the Bardia family.

"I see. I'm sure Chris will be fine, but please tell her to be careful not to be rude."

"Yes, of course".

Nodding, she smiled, as if she had understood everything that was going on.

"Rid is so young, but he can come up with so many different ideas. The ability to think is just as good as an adult's. I'm sure you can count on that. I'm very proud of him."

"Is that so?"

When I was surprised by the sudden praise, Fara said, "Yes, it is just as your mother said.

"I am always amazed when I see Master Rid's thinking up close and personal. I must do my best not to be left behind."

Haha, thank you. But thanks to you, the second order is running very well. I can't thank you enough.

Fara is not only a good administrator and office worker, but also a quick learner and appreciator of her work.

Watching her work, it was like she was processing various documents at the same time.

She worked so fast that I asked her, "Are you pushing yourself too hard? Are you okay?" I once asked her with concern.

Farah tilted her head, "What? but she immediately smiled at me.

"

Yes. This amount of paperwork is nothing compared to the amount of homework my mother used to give me. I'm still ready to work!"

I remember being very surprised by her answer.

It was probably the result of her natural talent combined with Mother Eltia's gifted education.

In any case, Fara is already an indispensable part of the Second Order's operations.

The children of the Beast Tribe also adore her as " Princess Sister," you know.

I think the meaning of what Mel means by 'Princess-sister' is a little different, though.

"Is it true? I'm glad to hear you say so, Master Rid."

When Fara blushed and beamed, her two ears moved up and down a little.

Seeing this, Mother narrowed her eyes happily.

"Oh my goodness, you two really get along well together. Rid, you must continue to take good care of Farah from now on."

"Yes, of course."

I nodded with a smile, and suddenly my eyes met Farah's and my face heated up.

She seemed to be the same, blushed and turned her head down.

I feel like I'm getting some kind of warm and fuzzy look from everyone who was watching me.

"Hahaha ・・・・・・."

I scratched my cheek to cover it up, "Hey, brother? Mel turned the conversation around.

"Yes. What's wrong?"

"Chris and the others are leaving for the imperial capital from the main house, right?"

"What? No, I'm going to have Serlvia, a rat tribe, accompany Chris and the others, so I think their departure will be from the Second Order's quarters".

If Selvia accompanies Chris and his family, they will be able to keep in touch with each other through "communication magic" in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.

When it comes to business negotiations with the Dukes of Lovelace, a great noble family, it is better to have a means of communication with Chris, who will be visiting the area.

However, since I have no intention of disclosing the communication magic at the moment, I remind him to be careful when using it.

But still, what is the intent of this question? I suddenly wondered, and asked Mel.

"What's wrong with that?"

"Well, let's see... I also wanted to see everyone off."

See them off, huh?

It's the only place in the world where a big cart is towed by a charcoal truck, you know.

"I see. I'm sure Chris will be pleased".

"Yeah. And since I can't go to the capital, I thought I'd have her buy me a souvenir. Hehehe."

I see. But then, why didn't you just ask father to get you one?

Mel puffed up her cheeks and shook her head.

"No father! Because the other day I asked him and he bought me a 'wooden carving of the Emperor'?"

"Bu⁉"

I blurted out.

I remember when I went to the imperial capital, there were "wooden carvings of His Majesty the Emperor" of various sizes, which were touted as special products of the imperial capital only.

I heard that carved wooden royalty is a typical souvenir of a visit to the capital.

I didn't think I wanted one in the slightest.

"But I heard that the "carved wooden imperial family" is one of the most popular souvenirs in the capital."

Mel blinked her eyes as she defended her father's taste in souvenirs.

"Yes⁉ But I wouldn't be happy to receive a souvenir of a wooden carving of the emperor with right hand on his waist and left hand pointing to some place. It wasn't cute!"

Mel turned away with a pout.

In a way, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the emperor? Just when he thought that, his mother burst out laughing.

Father,. Sometimes you buy strange things. I once received a wooden carving of the Empress as a gift. How well did you know Her Majesty Matilda? I hope it will make you feel a little less lonely,' with a sincere look on her face. Mel, Father has no bad intentions. Please forgive him."

'Mmm. ・・・・・・. I understand father's kindness, but it's just not the same!"

Mel's cheeks puffed up again.

Everyone here watching the series of exchanges is shaking their shoulders, desperately trying to hold something back.

Even Tis turned her head down, holding her mouth with both hands.

What should I do to settle the situation?

Just as I was thinking that, my eyes suddenly met Farah's.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration flashed between the woodcarver and Farah.

"Oh, that's right."

I had caught everyone's attention by opening up the conversation.

Let's make a wooden doll modeled after Fara and sell it in Bardi The specialty of Bardia is the "wooden carving of Farah, the symbol of good fortune. ・・・・・・ haha.

"What?!"

Fara rolled her eyes at this outlandish suggestion.

But Mother's eyes lit up.

"It's a good idea! Rid, let's hurry this up. You can propose it tomorrow at the meeting with Chris."

"What?!"

"Oh, Mother!"

As Farrah and I were blinking our eyes, Mel raised her hand in excitement.

I want a doll of Princess Sister too!"

Even Mel-chan is ・・・・・・. Master Rid, what are you saying?!"

"Oh, that?"

The reaction was a little different from what I had imagined.

I didn't expect Mother and Mel to be so enthusiastic about a topic that was intended to mend the scene.

After that, due to the desperate protests of Fara, whose face turned bright red and her ears were raised and lowered, the Bardia specialty, "Fara, a wooden carving symbolizing good fortune," became a phantom project.

Needless to say, Fara bent her navel tremendously that day, and we had to apologize to her for a whole day.
