“You are being valued by this noble more than you think.”
“What do you mean…? Ah…”
Finally, I realized.
The purpose of this negotiation was for Count Cecilm to establish a connection with us.
Thinking back, the title… and his daughter too. They were more direct and prominent than receiving a mansion, so to speak.
“That’s what it means. I’ll count on you from now on, Land-kun, Milim-kun.”
Lord Cecilm smirked and extended his hand for a handshake.
Though I was caught off guard, it was not a bad thing to have a connection with the Margrave House, which can be considered one of the country’s five major noble families.
Come to think of it, Fade and the others also made connections with nobles. I’ve never seen them deal with someone as influential as a Margrave, though.
“Sure, I’ll do my best.”
“By the way…”
“Hmm?”
While shaking hands, Lord Cecilm spoke up.
His expression was different from before, more friendly and affectionate.
“Now, from here on, it’s purely out of curiosity as a man. I want to see your strength. How about it?”
“Strength…?”
‘What does he mean?’
As I was bewildered, Lord Cecilm continued.
“Well, first, let me introduce someone to you.”
Without waiting for an answer, Lord Cecilm called out toward the door.
“Please come in.”
“Yes! Excuse me!”
It was a woman’s voice.
Shortly after, the person behind the voice entered the room.
“Isle of the Cecilm House’s Second Knights, reporting for duty.”
“Yes. Let me introduce her. One of the finest members of our knight order, Isle.”
Strong… Just as Lord Cecilm said, she seemed to be quite skilled.
Although she was fully clad in armor, one could tell that her appearance was quite refined. Blonde hair and golden eyes peeked out from under her helmet.
For some reason, she glared at us…
“Isle, these are Land-kun and Milim-kun, whom we were discussing.”
Isle bowed neatly and then remained still.
“I would like to ask you two to train our knights. How about it? The reward would be… well, our treasured wine and sweets that Milim-kun would enjoy, I believe.”
Lord Cecilm laughed mischievously.
With his last words, Milim became completely motivated. Her eyes were even gleaming with gold…
In this brief moment, it was clear that Milim was the key to guiding us. She knew exactly what to do in order to fulfill her own wishes, which showed her competence.
Lord Cecilrum himself laughed with an innocent smile, like a mischievous child.
