When the master died of illness, although the Duke of Tesserant was in danger for a time, Bartolo, a talented person hidden behind his father, emerged and not only inherited the dukedom, but also inherited the position of minister of state. Although this was also affected by the difficult situation of electing ministers of state, many people now think that this is a kind of luck.

"Sorry to bother you, you must be busy now, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Time is my way. Don't you know that?"

This unsightly way of speaking was because the other person was Tulio, and it was his way of expressing intimacy.

Bartolo was very popular with women because of this. If he had not married young before inheriting the title, there would definitely be many women vying to become his wife. Of course, the reason for his marriage was his love affair with his childhood sweetheart, which was also a factor.

"So, what's the matter with you coming back to see me all of a sudden?"

"Don't be sarcastic. You should know that it is not easy to leave the royal city where your brother is, right?"

"Just kidding. Your reason for being here is a mystery to me too."

He implicitly led him to talk about important matters.

"To prevent any trouble. What do you know about the situation at Knap Baden?"

“…That’s not an easy question for me to answer.”

“That’s no use. I was there too.”

“What?! How could you be there?”

This was a shocking fact to Bartello as well.

"You can't get rid of me now. Tell me what you saw."

“Now is not the time. This is where the trouble is.”

"Wait a moment."

While looking out the door, Bartro ordered the soldiers on guard to drive the people away.

“…A black-haired fighter. Using giant gauntlets. Are you sure?”

"That's right."

Bartello responded in the affirmative to his friend's choice of carefully worded question.

“I’m teaming up with them now.”

“Ugh!…How much of a burden are you going to put on my heart?”

"Unfortunately, our real show will have to wait until later. Right now we are relying on Dorrisden. I have also asked for my father's help. The rest depends on you, my father, and me."

Bartello reviewed the events in the Southland in his mind.

“Will it cause problems?”

“I honestly don’t know. I don’t fully understand him yet. It’s just that he’s so harsh.”

"So you think he and His Majesty don't get along. That's a very wise judgment."

Facing the next strategy, Bartello remained silent for a while.

"Hopefully we can get through to Lainkia if possible. Anything of interest?"

"Looking back now, it's a little strange. He's not the type to seek power, but he took the initiative to break through the city gate. He might be planning something."

"Why didn't you stop him? That way I wouldn't have a headache..."

"He's not an easy guy to deal with. If you let him go, do you know which direction he will attack from? In this case, it's better to keep him under your watch."

Bartello's security measures were immediately negated.

"No. I don't know his human nature well enough to formulate a countermeasure."

"Father said he wanted to see him. What should I do?"

"I would like to take part. I will discuss this with the Home Secretary."

"please."

Tulio's troubles seemed to have infected Bartello as well.

"It's rare to see you so idle. Wouldn't you prefer to take the initiative?"

"After all, Tulio has worked very hard. It doesn't matter, I will take action soon, probably."

Cham thought it was strange that Ye Kai had been lazing around in Steiner's mansion for three days in Lanekia. He even used Holzlein's holy seal there. It couldn't be without purpose.

"Well, although our bodies and Blue's have also become sluggish."

"Then let's have a competition?"

“Let’s go?”

A handsome man poked his head out of the open door: "Wait for me?"

"Hey, long time no see. How are you doing?"

“Thanks to you, I’m fine.”

It wasn't just Cham who thought he didn't look good, but Ye Kai didn't seem to point it out.

“Someone wants to see you. Coming right up.”

"I am sorry."

“It’s not the right time.”

A sharp-eyed gentleman opposite claimed to be Tullio's father, Duke Dictrant, and the gentle man sitting next to him claimed to be Duke Tesserant.

(So ​​many dukes.)

Chaim held back his sarcasm.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Ye Kai. I was once taken care of by your son."

"I'm Cham. Please take care of me." Cham looked at the other person with an inquiring look.

"Well, it seems my son really depends on you. I am grateful."

"We haven't known each other for long. I think you just want to understand the situation."

"I heard that you met in the south. This is a common thing for adventurers, so it's normal for you to get acquainted here."

It seems that he intends to focus on small talk for the time being.

"Yes. Mutual exploration is almost taboo, so we can only confirm it by fighting side by side. So I don't know Mr. Tullio completely. Just like you don't know me, I am also worried that you may know nothing about me like Knap Baden."

"!!!" Tulio covered his wrinkled face with his hands.

"Vulgar rhetoric won't work. Just ask frankly. What are you doing here?" Grayer followed up.

"In a word, I came to confirm."

“Confirm what?”

"This question is a bit complicated. I can't see the future you expect, and you don't know the future I hope for. Then we don't know the future each other expects. So, I may not know what kind of future you want."

“That’s true. But isn’t it too abstract without some hints?” Bartello said sarcastically.

“That’s true, but I know you don’t have a concrete answer, so there’s no point in discussing it here.”

“Why do you say they don’t have an answer?”

"Because they don't have that authority, the home secretary, the parliamentary secretary."

“Have you investigated to this extent?”

"Everyone inside the city gate knows the name of the important person."

(What a boring guy.)

Both Greer and Bartello were struck. However, more strikes followed.

"I think you will be summoned soon. Although I have been kept here, the passers-by have been talking about the 'dark-haired guest of the Steiner House.'"
