My former family, the Greed family, is closely connected to the Bobblebum church.

　Bobblebum religion is deeply rooted in King's Landing, and its influence extends to the politics of King's Landing.
　All the members of the King's Council are Boblebamists, and the will of the church has a strong influence on the policies of the King's Council.
　Therefore, if they are close to the Bobblebum religion, they can control the council as they wish.
　Gapoli, the current head of the Greed family, had continued to donate large sums of money to the Bobblebum religion since he was a middle nobleman in order to take advantage of it.
　It was worth it, and he rose to the rank of the Fourth Duke.
　Of course, I won't say that he got to that point through money alone.
　Back then, my ex-father had been active in charity work, and he wasn't so much of a spendthrift as a spendthrift.

　But after he became the Fourth Duke, he changed drastically.

　My father and mother began to spend more scattered and extravagantly.
　He still continued to donate money to the church, and in order to raise that money, my father raised the taxes in his immediate area to an extraordinary level.
　If anyone remonstrated with him about it, he used the church's breathless aristocrats and senators to disqualify them.
　So, at some point, there was no one to admonish my former father.

　I aspired early on to a career in teaching, and from my childhood I attended boarding school.

　Perhaps because of this, I don't think I had the personality to act faithfully to money, status, and desire like my brother, sister, and sisters, who stayed at home all the time and watched their father and mother's actions closely.

　The fact that such a family is about to be inspected by the king's capital may mean that they have been given up on by the Bobblebum religion, to which they had given so much money.
　Therefore, they are trying to change the head of the family and show that they have repented.
　Is he going to go to such lengths to cling to his position as the Fourth Duke...?

　When I think about it, I feel somewhat sad.

　In this situation, if he wanted to hold on to his position as the Fourth Duke, he would need to make further donations to the church.
　Nevertheless, they should have to raise money in other areas, as they are already squeezing a near marginal level out of the immediate area.
　The quickest way to do that would be to cut back on staffing.
　More than likely, laying off people employed by the race should be a bad sign for the church.
　That's why they're getting rid of the sub-humans they're hiring for two or three bucks.

　Even the subhuman maids this time, they were even trying to sell them off as prostitutes to a trade association that runs a brothel inn....

　The current me is already a person who has no relation to the Greed family.
　I was newly granted the title of a frontier earl from the royal capital, and my position is that of Gossage, head of a noble family called the Free Family.
　Since the name Safate Greed had been erased from the royal capital's register by my former father, my current name, Gossage Free, is officially the official one.
　However, my old friends Erdena and Kuro continued to call me Safate, and since I still feel more comfortable being called Safate, I still use that name in Liberty Combe.
　It's not like I can do anything about the Greed family now, even if I am such a person....

　However, the fact that the sub-human maids that Quinn rescued were brought to me, and that they were acquainted with me, I wondered if it was fate in a way, but there was nothing I could do but protect them and shelter them.......

　Anyway, I decided to accept Quinn's offer and hide the sub-human maids.
　And as Quinn said, I think it's dangerous to hide them in Quinn's private residence in the royal capital.
　I've decided to have the girls work on the paperwork at the Gehmose District Sub-Office.
　Here, the Liberty Combe town hall has been receiving visitors from all over the city since it was just promoted to a frontier city.
　There is no guarantee that there is no one among such people who knows about them, and if that person tipped off the Greed family, they might in some cases press them to buy them out.
　In that respect, the Gehmose area is far from Liberty Combe Town Hall and is just a residential area with no tourist attractions, so it was only because they thought it should be unlikely that anyone would go out of their way to visit there.

　The management of the Gehmose area is now in the hands of Vibrina.
　The reason for this is because it's adjacent to Batcombe, and I thought it would be easier to manage.
　I asked Biblina to come to the lord's office and explain the situation.
'....so I'd like all of these sub-humans to work at the Gehemorse District Office for a while.
　Biblina smiled when I said that.
Oh, we were short on staff. Well, we are grateful for the opportunity.
　That's what he said.
　Thus, the 10 sub-human maids that Quinn had protected and brought in were all going to work in the Gehmose District Sub-branch while being sheltered.

　Now we have an idea of what to do with the sub-human maids we've protected, but I can't help but worry about the other sub-human maids.
　My father, Gapoli, has private residences and villas all over the place, and he employs many sub-human maids as his menial servants.
　Of course, they were not formally employed, but were almost like slave contracts.
　The sub-human maids they hired in this way were used for cheap wages, but there must have been more than 100 of them....
　
　I told Quinn and Foldente that I wanted them to find out if they had any information on the sub-humans who worked for the Greed family.
　And, of course, anything about the Greed family.
'Okay, I'll keep an eye out for it,'
　With that, Quinn returned to King's Landing in his liner.
Well, I'll go back to infiltrate King's Landing after my break.
　Foldente said that while chuckling as usual.

　After I had finished making the necessary arrangements, the sub-human maids, who had finished their meeting with Biblina, came back to the lord's office with Unja.
　The leader of these sub-human maids, the fox man Nariakoa, stepped in front of me.
''Botchan.......I've heard a lot of things from Unja......you've really gone through a lot of trouble up until now.......''
　As I said that, Nalia Core bowed deeply towards me.
　At the same time, the nine sub-human maids who were standing behind me also bowed their heads in unison.
　I laughed self-deprecatingly, saying that this was also the result of admonishing my father Gapoli even though I knew it was impossible, and in a way, I had it coming.

　After that, after chatting with everyone for a while, Naliacore and the others left with Biblina for the Gehemorse District.
　The Gehemorse District Sub-branch would be quite safe as it was guarded not only by Liberty Combe's guards, but also by the former Batcombe knights that Biblina had brought with her privately, as well.

　When I finished seeing off Naliacore and the others who left the lord's room while bowing repeatedly, Unja came in front of me once again.
'Thank you so much, Botchan, for saving my best friend, Nariacore and the others.
　Unya said and bobbed her head deeply.
'And they're not people I don't know either.
　I smiled at Unya as I said this.
　Then Unya bypassed the desk and moved right next to me.
"You have done so much for me. Just thanking you won't be enough to make any of us feel better.
　When Unna said that, she suddenly kissed me on the mouth.
　It was so abrupt that I couldn't dodge it.
　Una began to remove her own clothes as she kissed me.


　There, Erdena was standing there.



　Unja, who was about to do things, had a puzzled look on her face as she stared at Eldena, who was standing in front of her desk with her arms folded.
　Erdena was staring at Unja as she stared at her.
''So you can explain to me what this is all about until it makes sense, right?
　I said so.
　The fact that she wasn't smiling at all in her eyes sent a chill down my spine, and that's why....
