Chapter 226 – We Built a New Mansion (2)

“You don’t know how to write a takeover agreement?”

“I don’t know.”

The official didn’t look so expected. Eve nodded proudly. There were no criminals in this place. There were only poor Eve, who unintentionally took a whole territory in time, and a poor official who had to reluctantly teach them about the handover process.

“Then, this time, I’ll do my own random writing. Right now, Delmon Manor is without a lord, and problems continue to arise, so we urgently need to find a person in charge. Then, I will write you a simple pledge form, so you just have to sign it and get the signature of your temporary representative at Delmon Manor.”

“Locum tenens?”

“Yes. Delmon Manor also has an agent now.”

“Then, can’t we make that agent a permanent resident?”

The official’s expression became subtle. Eve, who had habitually spat out words, reluctantly added, remembering Lucius’ face in her.

“Yo. This.”

Only then did the official, who relaxed his expression of her, nodded and replied.

“At the time of Felix Karin’s arrest, he arrested all the local dignitaries, including the knights, so the village headman is currently serving as the manor manager.”

“Wow.”

Surprisingly, the position of lord was a position that had only responsibility and no power without military force. It would not be an exaggeration to say that a lord without an enlisted man is a shortcut that makes the rogue boats go into motion. Eve was convinced that the current Delmon estate had become a hotbed of corruption that only fed the village chief, or that it had become a hotbed of violence persecuted by rogue gangsters. Maybe it was both

“This is not the time to shout. It means that even at this moment, the people of the territory are suffering from the ignorant people. I’ll fill out the form quickly, just sign it. Where… Can I use the office desk for a while?”

“Yes. Use it.”

Eve and the official were in the office now. Eve wanted Sieri to sit in this seat, but she couldn’t trust the palace officials, so she stepped forward. He was uncomfortable even using honorifics, but he was barely holding back as he remembered Lucius’ face.

The official sat down at his desk in his office and began looking for papers for a contract. Eve said in frustration when she saw that she couldn’t even dig into the drawers and only looked through the top of the desk.

“Middle drawer.”

“Oh, thank you. Where… Whoaaaaagh!”

The official who opened the drawer screamed and floated to the surface. The dildo, which had been roughly crumpled up in the drawer, bounced like a spring and flew through the air. Eve felt her face her heat up. I put it in to make fun of his groom, but the wrong guy found it. The official grabbed his heart and gasped for breath, pointing at the dildo.

“What, what, what!”

“… It’s the groom’s stuff. I have a hobby like that.”

“Ah yes…”

Eve apologized to Lucius in her heart her. Eve casually tapped it with her foot her and hid the dildo under the desk. The official took a deep breath to forget the situation, shook his head, and took out his paper. In his hand his was a pen with the royal coat of arms stamped on it. The official who sat down began to write down the oath form with a single stroke.

From the fingertips, which moved like a photocopier, the pledge form came out in precise handwriting like a machine. Eve was looking at the oath with a curious face. It was because I kept getting the illusion that it was really magic or machine-made. The official who completed the oath in 5 minutes handed it over to Eve with a proud expression.

“Please sign.”

Eve began to read the oath with sharp eyes. The content was really nothing. In the future, the Delmon estate was incorporated into the Peta estate, and the agent of the Delmon estate was asked to understand that their property and status belonged to the Peta estate. The part where “Compensation plan” Was written was blank, so Eve pointed to this part and asked.

“What is this compensation plan?”

“Usually, the amount of compensation is given to the agent of the estate in charge of the estate as a sign of hard work. Usually, the amount of compensation is calculated in proportion to the lord’s monthly tax, but it’s really extremely rare for a commoner to act as a territorial agent like this one, so I don’t know how to set it up.”

“Can’t I just wash my mouth?”

“It is okay. It’s an ‘agreed’ compensation. If there is an agreement not to accept it or if the agent is unable to work, it is okay not to give it.”

The official nodded and actively supported Eve’s opinion of her. After Eve signed the oath, the official stood up and said:

“Then, let’s go to Delmon Mansion. Even now, the people of the territory are suffering from ignorant and oblivious agents.”

Eve left behind the official who was descending ahead, and took a curved sword and a pistol. And he woke up Elsie, who was sleeping on the first floor. Elsie, who was lying on her bench and was sleeping, tilted her head to Eve, who suddenly woke her up.

“Mermaid. What’s going on?”

“Let’s go kill people.”

“Is it a fight?”

“Yes.”

“Wait a moment. Just change clothes and come out.”

While the official waited in front of the carriage, Eve and Elsie came out fully armed. Seeing the pistol and blue-bladed curved sword on Eve’s waist, the official said with an uneasy expression.

“If you try to kill me without even thinking about agreeing to that, it will be difficult.”

Eve laughed at those words and murmured.

“Damn it. I bet Elsie’s breakfast on Yeongji’s shit.”

Elsie looked at Eve with a puzzled look. Eve said while slapping Elsie on the butt.

“It’s a joke. Let’s hurry.”

As the Delmon estate was right next door, it was easy to get there. The official, who was obliged to check the takeover oath and even the signature, seemed to be a little flinching at the vicious spirit of Eve and Elsie. The wagon they rode crossed the boundary of the territory and headed for the border guard post of Delmon territory.

There were no guards in the old guard post and it was full of cobwebs as if no one had entered for a long time. Since the guard posts of each other’s territory are far apart, it was not possible to confirm this in Peta’s territory. Also, in order to go to the Eastern Plains, he had to go through the Amur Territory, so even Lucius could not know how internally the Delmon Territory had festered.

Elsie, who had only poked her head out of the carriage and looked around, said.

“There is no popularity.”

“I see. Did the wolf take everything?”

The official looked at the border guard post with a disapproving face. The coachman pulled the reins with a gloomy expression on his face. Not long after passing the border, the first village appeared. Eve got off the carriage and looked around.

Surprisingly, the village atmosphere was not so bad. When Eve and Elsie got off the carriage, all the villagers’ eyes turned this way. It was because mermaids of mixed blood and beasts were rare sights in this territory. In particular, people’s attention was focused on Elsie, a prisoner.

“Mermaid. People stare.”

“I envy you.”

Eve answered coldly and checked the faces of the people. The soldiers were having a drinking party in the corner. To Eve, they looked like soldiers guarding the border, but since there was no physical evidence, she decided to leave them alone. When Eve and Elsie got back into the carriage, the coachman pulled the reins and set off. In this way, Eve and Elsie went around three or four villages.

The atmosphere was all the same. There was no threat to the village itself, and there was no sign of corruption. Eve fiddled with his pistol and clicked his tongue.

“Why the fuck? Aren’t there any bandits?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice if there were no thieves?”

“No, there has to be a thief so I can kill him. If that’s the case, it’s not worth coming out with a knife after all.”

Eve touched the sheath of the curved sword with her other hand and said, The official spoke confidently.

“Mrs. Peta. Thieves are also one life. They just grew up with the wrong education and went down the wrong path. Reeducation is important to such people, not punishment.”

“The Knights of the Kingdom think differently.”

When Eve still saw the wheel, it reminded her of the wheel of penitence. Those vivid screams and exultant shouts. The scene, which could only be seen in hell, made a deep impression on Eve. The official turned his head and said, as if he was taken back by the word Kingdom Knights.

“The way justice is done is different for everyone. I also think the methods of the Knights are too radical.”

“But this place is so peaceful. The mermaids said it was a scary place where bandits roam around and kill people, but it doesn’t look like that.”

“I know. Is that estate agent really good at it?”

“It just seems that way temporarily. Problems are bound to arise.”

The officials didn’t seem to like the situation. In fact, as he said, it had only been about three months since the lord of Delmon had disappeared. Three months is a long time, but it was a short time for the thief issue to be publicized. Besides, there were no bandits in the direction of Peta Territory, so it was only natural that there would be no criminals on the way from Peta Territory to Delmon Territory. Eve clicked his tongue and grumbled.

While talking, the carriage passed through the gate of the mansion. The guards standing in front of the mansion were leisurely leaning against the doorway, and when the carriage looked quite luxurious, they were started and adjusted their posture.

“Who are you?”

The official got off first and said.

“I have brought the deputy lord who will officially take office. Where is the current lord agent?”

The guards froze at the word “Management agent,” And then met each other’s eyes and trembled with anxiety. Eve and Elsie, who arrived late, felt uneasy in those gazes. Said the official.

“Where are you?”

“Oh, I am over there!”

I followed my fingers and looked at the mansion. Just in time, the mansion gate opened, and someone appeared. It was an old man with a shaggy beard. He said to the guards with a big smile on his drunken face.

“Mark! Carol! Hey come in! Let’s have a drink! We still have 18 bottles left! Uh? When the lord isn’t around, you should drink it like this!”

“What is that bastard?”

Eve got irritated and grabbed the sheath of the curved sword of her. The drunken old man looked at the official and said.

“Gosh! Mark! Who are these people! Oops, I jokingly asked you to bring some girls. Did you really bring them? By the way, was there a prison guard in this town? Write… Mark! Give them money and send them back, even if I get drunk, I’m not a prisoner. Big brother I’m sorry.”

The old man patted the official on the shoulder and said so. The official and Eve met their eyes. After a brief exchange of glances, Eve tripped over the old man’s leg.

“Oops! What! Gosh! Oops I’m dying! Who are you! Who are you, you bastard!”

“Your master, you fucking bastard.”

Eve looked around. Seeing that the mansion was messy, it seemed like a lot of work.
