Reputation among the nobility.
Sean didn't care about it a long time ago, but since he stepped out of Thelmian and entered the aristocratic circle, such reputation has become very important.
It can even make the territory gain more respect. One of the main reasons why the current Earl Hamil did not choose to withdraw the caravan and guild from the town of Telemian is that it would bring him a bad reputation. After all, the trade was also decided by the previous generation of Earl Hamil, and withdrawing directly would seem untrustworthy.
Even the biggest local nobles have to pay attention to their image, and Sean is no exception...
"Yes, that's why I came here in person."
Looking at Alia's somewhat "desperate!" expression.
"Why not? I've heard you've met the Grand Duke once, and you're very close to his granddaughter... Even if I've helped you before, can't you help me this time?" He probably felt the exchange wasn't working, so this time he put on a [complaining!] expression.
"Okay, but this request is not acceptable!" Sean did not give the other party any room for maneuver.
Arya is the daughter of the previous earl. Almost all the nobles and commoners in the southern border area have to give her face. She certainly cannot adapt to being pulled down from that situation all of a sudden. If she does not fight for a chance now, she may never have another chance in the future.
So you can't stand on any moral high ground to comment on others or your own actions. Everything is just for a better life in the future.
In the city of Lietis, I have always been reluctant to choose between the Prince and the Grand Duke, so I have always been quiet and taciturn. If I ask the Grand Duke directly for a reward from someone, I believe that judging from the unsuccessful conversation last time, the other party will most likely agree, because then I will owe the Grand Duke a favor.
Moreover, doing so would probably lead to criticism from the nobles in the north. Who would be able to clearly explain the relationship between the man and the woman? One was a single baron, and the other was born into an earl's family. In this way, the relationship would become unclear.
Instead, it increased Arya's popularity among the northern nobles.
Sean thought of this problem when he saw the other party sending a letter and making a request. Based on his previous description of Alia's character, she is not someone who can be beaten just because she is an honorary noble.
Looking at Sean's determined eyes, Alia sighed and refilled the cup with tea.
At this time, the old servant who had just changed the pot on the table walked in from the door. After Sean entered the manor, he didn't see many people. The knight with level 8 orderer who had been following Alia seemed to be gone.
The atmosphere became very quiet...
Pour another cup of tea, and finally Alia couldn't help but say it.
"I heard that Baron Weigel was once a member of the Sky-Covering Wings?"
"Yes, I studied there for a few weeks."
Changing the subject seems much easier...
"I heard that there is a wizarding organization composed of girls."
"Uh...yes."
"No wonder..." Seeing that the word "Thinking!" kept appearing above Alia's head.
This shows that she was not just chatting casually, but was thinking about what to say next and how to introduce the topic.
No wonder this is a bit puzzling.
"It's okay. The people in the organization are all nice and they taught me a lot." Sean replied with a smile. He might as well pretend to be a smiling person, saying yes to everything but doing nothing in the end!
"Does Baron Weigel still remember Viscount Isaac?"
"The Viscount of Xiaowan Town, of course he knows."
When the previous earl was still alive, Sean had several brief conversations with him.
At that time, Viscount Isaac was one of the people who supported Arya the most, but now it seems that there is no hope.
"Viscount Isaac proposed to me...to me before!" Even Miss Alia, who was a little scheming, blushed shyly when she said this.
"Isn't that great? Viscount Isaac is the most capable person in our area besides the Earl. Although Xiaowan Town is not as big as Koga City, it has a good geographical location and good income." Sean didn't have a deep impression of this viscount, but he often heard about Xiaowan Town.
I haven't actually been there, but it should be a nice place.
After all, no one said anything good about Taylor Mien!
"But Viscount Isaac already has two wives." Alia turned her head and looked at herself.
Understood.
Seeing the other person's [emotionally agitated!] state, Sean understood that this was a time to appeal to his emotions and reason.
"Sean, you know where I came from. I once fantasized about marrying a nobleman and living a good life together, but this was definitely not the outcome... Recently, my brother has moved the entire business of Koga City to the southeast, and the north has become increasingly desolate. He's planning to force me away!" He said with slightly red eyes, and even changed the way he addressed himself.
How to say it.
Alia was born in an aristocratic family, so of course she didn't want to marry and become a mistress, but given her current conditions, she didn't have much room to be picky.
I can still say that I look young and beautiful these years, but I don’t know what I will become after being oppressed by life in a few years...
"It's true that there's a huge difference, but nothing in this world remains unchanged. Whether it's the environment or the individual, even if your status changes, you can still live differently... If Miss Alia is considering a business venture, I have many areas I'd like to explore. We could work together again."
