“Well, it means that is up to the King’s Landing to make Takeo a nobleman or not.”
Elvis said as he sighed.
The three Azupal royals were smiling but the Elvis family members were sighing.
“Well, if it wasn’t because of Layla’s suggestion, I would have declined the offer.” Takeo said with a forced smile.
“What? You will decline?”
“Yes. Working in King’s Landing seems like hard work. And I like living in the countryside.”
“Is that so? Well, I guess I’ll be serious and try my best to get it through.”
“Both the matter about the research institute and nobles is pending result from the King’s Landing so I’ll leave it to you.”
Takeo thought about “I wonder how much they want to make him a nobleman”.
..
.
“I’m thinking of going to Katranda Empire soon.” Takeo suddenly said.
“Is it because of that researcher?”
“Yes. What kind of person, and how dangerous they are… I want to see it. Mr. Elvis, what is needed to cross the country border?”
“A pass permit issued by me is needed. Shall I prepare it?”
“Yes, thank you very much.”
Takeo gave a light bow.
“Takeo-san, how do you plan to find them? Katranda Empire is indeed smaller compared to Azupal Kingdom, but isn’t it difficult to find a person?”
William asked.
“Please wait for a while. I will bring it here.” Takeo got up and left his seat.
“Your Majesty…” Alice protested at King Azupal with the reproachful look in her eyes.
“…Why are you glaring?”
“It was supposed to be pulled out, isn’t it?”
“I have no intention to pull him to King’s Landing, but I wanted to make him stay in this country. The easiest way to do it is to make him a nobleman, correct? If we allow Takeo to go outside the country, it might turn into a disaster that will shake up this country.”
“That… Yes, indeed it is.”
“For me, I would like to make you, Alice a nobleman top.”
“What? But I am a girl.”
“No, there are times even girls can become noblemen, correct?”
“The title is only for boys… Other than that…” Alice’s face showed that she did not know the answer.
“Haha. Actually… For baron and above, it is only for boys but for knights, there is no gender regulation. However, since it is said that it is strictly for women in terms of physical strength, there is almost no one that can become a senior knight. Plus when they have a family, many will leave the job.” William explained with a bitter smile.
“Hmmm… Shall we make Takeo, a baron? And Alice a knight?”
“Is it okay? It’s not like I have the intention of going abroad..”
“No, I think that it should be done properly. Actually, I intended to make you a knight from 2 years ago.”
“I was decorated, but there was nothing about knighthood…”
“Hmm. Then this time is a good opportunity. It can be written off that I forgot about it.”
“No. Father-in-law, you can’t hide it once you have said it out loud.” Alice replied with a forced smile to King Azupal’s defensive words.
“Seems like Alice’s matter will also depend on King’s Landing.” Elvis sighed.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Takeo knocked on the hall’s door.
“Come in.” A voice from inside announced as he confirmed the approval and opened the door to enter the room.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Takeo placed a rifle and a wooden box on the table.
“This is?” William asked.
“It’s a small box that contains a rifle and bullets. Both have been inscribed.”
He pointed to the place that has been inscribed.
“….Steno…?”
“Yes, I believe that is what’s written. Whether it’s a person’s name or a workshop name, I don’t know but I plan to pursue this. Plus, it seems like the merchant that Manager Taylor orders from is in King’s Landing so I would like to inquiry about that as well.”
“Can it be found with just that?” William asked with a frown.
“It surely will be difficult. Other than that, maybe try searching and asking at the workshop union in the big town?”
“Everything seems like it would take time, correct?.” King Azupal asked.
“Yes.”
“Then I shall join too.”
“Hmm? How do you mean?”
“There is a unit that handled information in the King Landing’s Garrison, I plan to mobilize them.”
“It would be easier to find with the help from the country but would that be alright?”
“What is Takeo worried about?”
“1. Even if they find it, they will lie to me and secretly invite them to the country. 2. If it is deemed unfavorable to the Azupal Kingdom, it would be disposed of without my knowledge. 3. I will be disposed of.”
“Takeo, surely No. 3 will not happen?” William asked.
“Really? Alan and William understand my way of thinking so it will probably be alright. King’s Landing military office and civil officer, what do know what they would do. It’s not unusual to move to eliminate those who have a different way of thinking. Well, for No. 3, I will be careful and will move to retaliate if needed.” Takeo sighed.
“Don’t you think the King’s Landing Garrison is a threat?”
“If the captain of the guards and the guards who are proud of their armed forces from yesterday comes in with a team, we wouldn’t be able to win. They are the people who handle information, correct? If we are prepared, we can escape for the time being. After regrouping, if it comes to individual fight, I don’t intend to lose.” Takeo said plainly without being influenced by emotions.
“Alan, I would be grateful if you could mobilize people from the King’s Landing Garrison to get information. If by any chance, they are taking a hostile attitude to me, I will not forgive them.”
“Is that so? Well, I think that would be alright. I’ll leave it up to you to decide.”
“Will you really mobilize them?” Takeo asked, squinting.
“Takeo, don’t you know I am amazing?”
“Boasting about mobilizing the guards… You must be someone in a high-ranking position. Well, it’s good. When going to the Katranda Empire, I will stop by King’s Landing so I will go and inquiry at that time.”
“Look forward to it.” King Azupal said with glee.
“Because you are waiting there, right?” William and Layla bashed from inside their heart
“Sister Layla and the others, when will you leave tomorrow?” Alice asked.
“Well, maybe around noon?”
“I agree.”
“Yes.”
“The last two days have been hectic.” Smith said with a forced smile.
“No, I was able to eat delicious food, had new discoveries, it has been a refreshing experience.” King Azupal said with a satisfied nod.
“That is indeed good.” Elvis nodded.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
