"Why are you here?" When Sean saw the prompt [Someone is approaching...], he instinctively thought it might be Igunya.
After all, she often runs behind him these days.
Unexpectedly, the person who showed up was the Red Dragon Witch!
"What? Are you disappointed that it's not your little sister?" The other person walked forward with a smile. For a moment, Sean was even sure that the other person could also peek into other people's attributes.
It is difficult to guess Frelia's age just by looking at her appearance, because she may be a woman in her twenties. However, she said that Earl Hamilton had looked for her ten years ago. If she is really in her twenties, then she must have been in her teens at that time!
Who would trust a wizarding organization that is several decades old?
So Sean always felt that the other person's age was confusing...
"It's just a little unexpected."
"Oh? But I can see that the treatment is far different from that of my little sister," Frelia continued.
The little sister she was talking about was Igonia...
Isn't this nonsense?
The favorability levels are so different that of course the treatment will be different. Sean only dared to say this in his heart and just smiled on his face.
"Never mind. I was originally going to look for you at the academy, but my little sister said you were out of town. I figured you'd come here, so I followed you."
Before this, when the two were discussing the Cain Slate, they mentioned the mob and talked about the village. At that time, Sean also told them about the girl selling fruit.
"Well, I've always wanted to know where those fruit trees come from, and now that I'm here, I realize they're really here."
Looking at the deserted little village...
Although the road has become overgrown with weeds, the peach trees are growing well.
"I plan to take them to Thelemian to plant them, hoping that these fruits will bring prosperity to my townspeople."
"You are actually a good baron who cares about his people!" Frelia said with a smile behind him.
Sean turned his head and looked at the other person seriously.
"No one doesn't cherish his own people." Although he had heard stories about lords oppressing the people in their territories, such stories did not fit his current situation.
We are already so poor. If we continue to cause trouble and drive people away, there will be no one left in the territory.
"That depends on who you are. But no matter how much you care about your people, there is something more important that you need to do right now." After a few brief conversations, Frelia finally said the purpose of her coming here.
From the moment he saw the other person, Sean had noticed that he had a "distracted" look on his face.
I guess I'm thinking about something else...
"What's going on?" Sean asked.
"I have received news from above today that the events in Koga City have alarmed the king. However, I need to report to Prince Philip in person about the appointment of the new earl and the events in Koga City," said Frelia.
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Prince Philip has also invited you and wants to meet you." Seeing that there was no "Lie!" in Frelia's status.
So what she said was true!
The prince wants to see me?
A baron of the lowest order? A small baron in a remote area, at that.
"The prince wants to see me? I don't have the right to see the prince. You didn't betray me, did you?" Sean said casually, but found that the other party immediately became [a little angry! ] state.
"I said I would take responsibility for this matter. How could I go back on my word? Honestly, I don't know who was talking about you in front of the prince. It must have been another viscount."
When Frelia took herself and Igonia out of the Earl's Mansion that day, many people saw it, especially the nobles who were waiting outside.
Some of them should have connections with the upper class, so it is very likely that it is one of them.
However, according to the laws of the Basaran Empire, barons do not have the right to meet the prince directly. Even if they want to meet with upper-class nobles, they can only reach the level of earl at most.
This is the class protection of this country. Otherwise, the higher you go, the fewer nobles there are, and the more nobles there are at the bottom... It's like a pyramid structure. If everyone can see the people at the top at will, how can they still live?
And it is precisely because of these regulations that it is deeply rooted in people's minds that "big figures" like princes and dukes would disdain to meet small nobles like themselves.
"Of course, if you have concerns, you don't have to go. I will explain it clearly to Prince Philip. You don't have to worry about this...but I think you won't be welcomed even if you continue to stay here."
Frelia was right.
It was precisely because of Earl Hamil's affairs that his three children now had very different attitudes towards him, especially Arya, with whom he had a cooperative relationship before, whose favorability had dropped from [Friendly] to [Neutral].
He always had a smile on his face, but he was probably dissatisfied with himself in his heart.
Whether he wanted to forge Earl Hamilton's will or wanted to know more about the circumstances before his father's death.
All these emotions were transferred to myself...
After all, the Red Dragon Witch's status is too high, so even if they don't believe it in their hearts, they dare not say it out loud.
Only a small noble like me is being targeted!
"So you think I should come over?"
"At least it will be better than now... Change your identity, change your place. Maybe when you come back, they won't dare to do anything to you! Don't worry, since I asked you to keep it a secret, I won't let you suffer any injustice, whether it's your territory or yourself. Oh~ I will even protect your little sister."
