"Master Ars, I did not know there was such a castle in the territory of the knights of Barca."

"That's right, Leon. This castle was just completed a few days ago.

　It was a little while after the winter had ended and a new castle had been built in Vulcania.

　Rion, the brother of Lilina, the man I was to marry, came to Vulcania.

　It seems that he came to see the place as a final step in our marriage negotiations.

　Rion was surprised to see the castle of Barca.

　He named the newly built castle in the middle of the fortified city of Vulcania "Vulca Castle".

　I think this castle is quite a good one.

　The hardened bricks of the castle are so colored that they look as if they were made of marble, which is a departure from the brick buildings that are common in this part of the world.

　Furthermore, the castle made of hardened bricks has two tall spires on the left and right sides, and there is a large entrance gate in the middle of the spires.

　Those who are about to enter the castle will be impressed by its height.

　After passing through the entrance, the inside is like a large hall, and straight ahead there is a staircase.

　After crossing this staircase, you will find the audience chamber.

　The audience hall itself is also spacious.

　The carpet that the old man ordered is laid out, and you walk on the carpet to go to the back of the room.

　On the left and right are large, tall, vertical windows with stained glass windows.

　The stained glass windows, which are a mosaic of various colors with blue as the base color, are illuminated by light.

　The stained glass windows may surprise you, but there is something even more eye-catching behind the stained glass windows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a large circular stained glass window with an intricate pattern reminiscent of snow crystals.

　This area was designed from the architectural stage to allow for good lighting.

　The blue stained glass glints in the light, and under the light, there's a chair that I'm sitting on.

　It was perfect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Visitors to this place are sure to be amazed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No one will look at this castle and say that I have no power.

　Gran and I couldn't stop laughing when we saw the finished Barca Castle.

"The Barka Knight's Domain was originally a small place with only two villages. If we're going to welcome a princess from a good family, we'll have to build a castle of this size.

"No, my sister is related to Carlos, but officially she is a daughter of the Graham family in the service of the Fontana family. You can't call her a princess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I had heard that Lilina was the child of your predecessor and a maid who worked at the castle, but I didn't realize that they were completely different families. I mean, what is the Graham family?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Grahams are a family of knights who have served the Fontana family for centuries. They once had a domain, the Graham Knight's Domain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Was?　You don't have any now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. The Grahams lost their lands to Lord Raymond when my father died suddenly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Raymond. The one who was in charge of the Fontana family until the other day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. You and Mr. Ars have had a close relationship. My father and Lord Raymond were political rivals. When he died suddenly, he took his lands as if they were his own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Seriously. Maybe Raymond was involved in your father's death?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know. I don't know. It's all in the dark now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Then why don't you appeal directly to Carlos?　Or ask them to take back the territories that were taken from them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It would probably be difficult. My father died many years ago. The estate has been divided up and is now held by several families of knights. It would be difficult for Carlos, who has only just become head of the family, to take it away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I see. It's not easy being a knight's house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it is. But we cannot dwell only on the past. We must do what we can do now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, Leon. Unlike my part-time brother, you're too mature."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you very much. Now I have a favor to ask of Mr. Ars. Will you let me work for Mr. Ars?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah?　You want to work for us?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. It is my long-cherished desire to rebuild the Graham family, but the truth is that I have never been on the battlefield. If you want to rebuild the house, the best way is to take credit for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then why don't you ask Carlos? The best spear on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We have lost our lands and have no real fighting force. The fact is that we do not even have the strength to stand on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, even if you say so, we don't have enough strength to lend to others. I know it's hard. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no, I'm not asking you to lend me someone who can help me. I want you to use me, Mr. Ars."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Use Rion?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Even though they lost their lands, the Grahams were knights among knights with a proper knighthood not so long ago. The Grahams even took up the knighthoods of their own lands. I learned how to fight on the battlefield from my late father. I'm sure I can be useful to you on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, I can be a commander and make a plan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I am ever called by Carlos to the battlefield, you will come along and make a plan for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And if it succeeds and leads to victory more than once, I can claim credit for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I can do it without my own men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, he is my brother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The others won't neglect what Rion says.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, okay. Leon, you will work for me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you, Mr. Ars."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"However, your job is to support me in general. You will not only work on the battlefield, but you will also work on a regular basis. If you were educated as a knight, that means you can write and do math, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then you can help me with the administration of the Barka Knight's Domain. Yes, that's right. Can you get in touch with the guy who worked for the Grahams?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, you used to work for this family?　We've mostly been displaced since we lost our territory. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If there are any freelancers here, call them up and ask them to work in Barca. If you have experience in running a territory, we'd love to have you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, thank you very much. I'll find him and bring him to you right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Until now, the management of the Barka Knight Territory has been done by a group of amateurs sharing their opinions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if there is someone with experience, we will be able to get a better opinion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be of great help to us if Rion and others would work for us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, before the marriage with Lilina, the scattered members of the Graham family were gathered in the territory of the knights of Barca.
