Din No Monshou Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Untold story

The blood chilling chastisement of Shadiverga.

Though it’s abrupt, a strange story has approached the Din house

To be honest, it is painful in the morning.

I endured the drowsiness and somehow got up.

The lengthy opinion about a decision…
I heard the general ideas, but I asked again curtly.

“Recruitment? Walkins?”

Shadiverga has a face which looks serious, sipping his tea while his hand trembles.
Walkins has a perplexed expression.

“Yes. Located directly across the river from here,

A messenger of Durf from the head of the family came this morning.

“Oh dear, it has come to this.”

Walkins tilts her head to one side.

Because I was a vulgar being, I had an idea immediately.

It’ll be magic, I think; after that, figure.”

“It might be so.

I tried my best to prevent a leak, but it’s inevitable.

“Even so, perhaps the frequency of bandit subjugation was overdone…….?”

Though I think that it is not necessary to be particularly depressed…

I continue in order to follow up.

“It’s as my father says.

“Hehehe, I get it; I am cute. It’s inevitable.”

“Eee…… Regis-sama, do you hate me?”

Walkin eyes swell with tears and looks at me.

Do not take me seriously.

“Is there such a reason?

“That’s certainly…?”

Then I have to seek an instruction from mother.”

However, she said that she entrusted me with Regis while she slept.”

Oh, she’s putting her trust in us.

I ask Shadiverga who has a face filled with distress this morning.

“And, what is father’s reply?”

“Oh, he would have to wait to receive a reply.

Because he will come again one week later, I’ll have to make a decision by then.”
“It’s a haughty way to speak.”

“It’s inevitable. We, the Din household, are a low level aristocrat even in this kingdom. Because Horgos is ruling the whole western region that has a strong position in sovereign, they think I’ll already accept so they pushed forward the request.”
“…… Haa. So, cowardice diplomacy is no use, huh.”

Is the other party a large aristocrat?

When such a ruined aristocrat is made to rule, it’s different.

However, it is a defeat if Shadiverga flatters them.

Assuming that they were more or less at a disadvantage, they should proceed negotiations with confidence.

“So, what answer are you going to do about it?”

“It would be impossible to give her. Request is rejected.”

“Aren’t they just a single drop in a bucket?”
More than that, losing Walkins over governmental affairs would be a mistake, I think.”

After hearing my opinion, Shadiverga is lost in thought.

It isn’t a joke. If there are any further disturbances, he may go bald.
Shadiverga let out a cough and changed target to Walkins for question.

“How does Walkins feel?”

It is a promise with your wife and――”
“Well?”

Walkin has reddened cheeks and look at me.

I hope she wouldn’t swat it suddenly
Walkin who looks down to accumulate power, turned to face * .

“Because Regis-sama doesn’t want to hand me over…

Shadiverga which heard those words opened his eyes wide with decision.
His first clenched powerfully.

“Yes, is that so? I knew it would come to this, so let me take the responsibility.”

“Think of me better, Regis!”
“Oh, even when father goes bald, I’ll respect him my entire life.”

“Is it a given that I’ll go bald!”

I denied Shadiverga who had watery eyes.

It surely feels that the volume of hair became a little thin.
Is it something serious for a lord?

“I, who worried about this seriously, was stupid!
Stop, stop, let’s toast to our agreeing opinions together!”

Hahaha, Shadiverga laughs loudly.

The support from small and weak surrounding nobles will be terminated

Because it is obvious, we will be driven to desperation.

It’s fate.

“Come on Regis, you will drink, too!”
“I’m still 7 years old.”

My father wasn’t very sober.

Next week, the day when an answer was promised.

A delegation of twenty people was led here, she said that a certain person came over

“He, head of Horgos, Durf-sama has come here directly!”

Here during conference.

At the same time, I couldn’t hide my surprise, either

Do strong aristocrat around here do business personally?

It is considerable attitude. Does it only happen when serious?

Shadiverga, who is thrust into an unexpected situation, has his teeth chattering away.

Hmmm, ocean blue.

“Father. As one would expected, you are flustered too much.

“I, I dealt with a messenger after a long time. Besides, Sefina was always next to me and gave advice.”
“You’re…… A miserable lord.”

What kind of noble becomes nervous if his wife is not next to him.
I would cry if the private army saw me.

But it’s also absurd to let the stricken Sefina bear with such chore.

I must somehow get through it myself because Shadiverga and Walkin are here.

“Regis-sama, please protect me.”

Walkins is pulling at my hem.
I guess I am kind of amused by her actions

“Well, Walkins. What kind of noble is Horgos?”
“ Let, let me see――”

From Walkins’ story, Horgos house seems to be considered a veteran noble.

They have the gold mine due to which it boasts of the biggest and most abundant money reserves in the kingdom.

Their strong points are stopping cargo and assassinations.

Money is paid to the government and the kingdom highest upper class nobles to support such behavior.
Even the government official of the neat paranoiac, It is a family who can’t be cured with a scalpel.

Power come from its abundant fiscal resources. The territory itself is 20 times of Din territory.

There should be no reason why lower nobles aren’t afraid of them.

When a noble incurs its displeasure even a little, it drives its opponent to ruin by economic blockade.

I see, I can nod towards Shadivergas vigilance.

I want to shout “Incinerate the garbarge~!” and scatter fire with a flamethrower.

I want to pursue the cruelty til the end by all means.
And――

“……Who’s giving Walkins up”

“No, it is nothing.”

Can we send this fellow to the conspicuous person of a doubtful origin?

This fellow is an employee of Din house.
It’s regrettable

The maid who breaks into a cold sweat whispers to Shadiverga surreptitiously.

“Head Horgos is entering.”

“Yes.”

By all rights, a single person of the private army would generally stand on the sides.

But when the messenger attacks, the person who protects the master is necessary.

The post is not necessary because Walkins is in this place.

After a while, someone entered with two subordinates.

He is covered with fat, that the only thing I can say.

Deep wrinkles and messy stains are engraved; just by seeing him I feel discomfort.
Indeed, he does seem like a lustful person.

“I am the present head of the Horgos family – Durf Zajimu Horgos.

As for Zaijmu, he must have been given the name by a high-ranking noble.

This guy, from the beginning he’s looking down on us as expected.

Shadiverga received with a business smile.

“You have come a long way, please come in.”

“Ah, thought you have come a long way. The matter is――”

Yes…or no.”

GIRORI, the meat daruma doll stares at Shadiverga.
I am of the impression he is lying low in order to prepare for the offensive.

The guy saw Walkin sit next to me and starts to lick his lip imprudently.

“……As expected, she is quite delightful.”

Exposuing his desire and greed bare.

The large pig which gives of an intimidating air……!

No, don’t shudder.

No, No, I suddenly stretch my hand for the cup of water. Don’t reconsider.
Because Shadiverga is about to blow up, I whisper into his ear in secret.

(……Father, let’s take a change of place.)

(For such guy, it isn’t worth for father to care for personally. Make me, your son speak here.)

(Leave it to me and loosen up.)

Shadiverga knows my inside to be matured abnormally for the time being.

Even so, I would be worried about the crisis if such life or death matter depends on me.

I have to sweep the anxiety off.
KOHON, I cough once, and begin to speak.

“My father has the sore throat, and it seems painful. I’ll return the answer instead.”

And he looks at my appearance once.

And bursts out laughing.

“HWUA,AAAAAAAAAAAA!

Entrusting your son who hasn’t come of age yet.”

But it’s worthless to worry, this is a waste of time.”

Shadiverga’s eyebrows are twitching slightly

The one who got insulted seems immediately irritated..
Well, endure it a little more.

“Ku, Ku, Ku. Okay, I’m tolerant, boy.

The great pig which agrees with satisfaction.

Smile Smile.

Will I answer soon?

Shadiverga is whispering to me with HISO HISO
He is awfully flustered.

(Is it okay, Regis? Don’t cause offense, nakudazo!)

I tore off Shadiverga half-forcefully.

I have to return an answer to him while smiling with a pleasant smile.

“――Disappear, you emasculated pig”
