The next day, a sealed letter arrived from the royal capital.
　The envelope, delivered by regular magician ship, was from the House of Lords.
　I have a knighthood as a frontier nobleman.
　I'm not sure if it's about that, but I can't help but think it's about that, since my former family home, the Greed family, is currently headless.

　According to Foldente, the last titleholder of the Greed family, Causey, was arrested for adultery, so there is no one left in the Greed family to succeed the head of the family.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.
　You will be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you in your quest to find the best possible solution to your problem, but at the same time, you can't imagine what will happen.
　I was kicked out of my former parents' house that caused such a situation without being able to do anything about it, and all I can do is feel a sense of regret...

　In the envelope.
"I want you to come to the House of Lords in one of these days.
　It was described as.
''.......What the hell is this all about?''
　I called Eldena and Biblina, too, to hear what they had to say.
　Both of them, of course.
'Well I can't even begin to consider what they're going to say.
Well, I suppose... well, for all intents and purposes, it's the Greed family, but...
　He said that and just tossed his head in the air.
　It's not a good idea to head out without any information, so I decided to listen to the story of Foldente, who is scheduled to come back this evening, and then decide on the arrangements for departure.
　He decided to have his deputy lord and wife, Erdena, accompany him when he went to the royal capital.
'Then you, mistress, will make arrangements to dispatch a guard.
　After saying that, Biblina left the room at a trot towards the guard station.

　For me, it's the first time I've ever been summoned by the House of Lords, so I'm a little nervous, but I figured that since I was summoned, I'll just have to go.

　While we were discussing the House of Lords, Alea, who was in charge of finance, came into the lord's office.
　He told me that he was able to get the approval of the members of the Shopping Street Association regarding the acceptance of an outside merchant association and others earlier than expected.
'Thanks to that, everything is ready to go.
　Alea smiled happily.

　At first I had thought it would take about a week to obtain their approval, but the people in the shopping arcade were more cooperative than I had expected, and thanks to the fact that there were almost no objections, they were able to put it all together in just a few days.

　That's just my imagination, but the people in the shopping arcade must have sensed the sense of entrapment that Alea was talking about...
　Liberty Combe has grown steadily from a settlement to a village, then a frontier small town, and then to a frontier city.
　Nevertheless, most of the people living in it are either people who originally lived in the area or those from neighboring villages.
　Perhaps that's why Liberty Combe's population growth has been quite slow in recent years.
　That's also why the situation of the shopping district's store openings seemed to have come to a head, he thought.

Maybe everyone in the shopping district wanted to introduce new blood here.
Yes, sir, I think so.
　I dodged a smile with Alea and dodged a smile and went to work on the documents again.
　I asked Erdena, the person in charge of commerce, to come over again and the three of us made a final proof of the draft.
　We took into account the requests made by the merchants during our discussion and scrutinized the content.
　However, the number of requests from merchants was not so large, and the revision process was completed soon afterwards.
Well then, I'll take this draft and send it to the relevant departments as soon as possible.
Please, Eldena. I'd like to take it with me on my way to the House of Lords.
Well, I'm on it.
　After saying that, Erdena left the lord's room with Alea.
　With this, apparently, it will be possible to attract a Chamber of Commerce to Urinacombe and at the same time attract a Chamber of Commerce to Libertycombe.
　As the vice-president of the Union of Frontier Cities, I can be relieved if the revival of Urinacombomb is progressing based on this decision.

　While I was thinking about this, Unja and Aura came into the room.
"Hey, baby-chan, want to take a break?
Well, I'm just wrapping up, so take care of that for me.
　As I said this, they left the room once.

　Unja and Aura have been working as my secretaries, and they always come to offer me tea at the right time when I'm done with my work, or rather, when I'm done with my work.
　I'm sure it's led by Unja, who used to be the Greed family's maid, but she's always really helpful.
　And Aura, who was a bit of a scaredy-cat in the beginning, has calmed down recently and is able to handle it.

　Not long after, Aura came back with a cup of tea and Wunya with a cup of tea.
　I rested for a while with the tea and snacks they brought me.

　Then.
"Safate, I'm sorry about that earlier, but...
　As she said this, Biblina came back into the lord's office.
'Yeah, I'm fine now, but what's going on?'
Yes, I received a letter from my father for my mistress, and in it was a letter for Safate.
　Saying this, Vibrina hands me a letter.
　Biblina's father is Gelter, the lord of the frontier city of Batcombe and head of the Federation of Frontier Cities.
　I open it in front of him and begin to read it.
　According to the letter, he wanted to hold a meeting of the Frontier Cities Federation and asked me to arrange a date.
"I understand that your father wishes to hold a joint event with the Frontier Cities Coalition.
　I nodded lightly when I heard Biblina's words.
'It says you want to have a meeting beforehand... and would you be willing to come with me, Biblina?'
Maybe after you answer the House of Lords call?
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
I understand. Make a plan.
　After saying that, Biblina left the room.

　When it comes to the event........maybe it's a consultation regarding a festival or something else that has been talked about before.
　We need to make sure we pack it in during the pre-meeting.......

　While I was thinking about this, I was putting away my paperwork and the day passed by in the blink of an eye.
　The day passed by in a blink of an eye as I finally put away my paperwork, and Foldente came back from King's Landing as if he had seen it coming.
　As soon as he returned, he told me that
Has the House of Lords already summoned you?
　That's what he visited.
'Yeah, I just got it this morning.
　As I said this, I handed a letter from the House of Lords to Foldente.
　When you finish reading the contents of the letter, Foldente nods his head slightly.
The best way to do this is to have a look at a few of the most important things in life.
'Yes. So, I was wondering if Foldente had any information in King's Landing...
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.
After all, to suddenly cut off the noble families of the four former lords...
Yes, I'm afraid you don't want that to happen.
　I talked to Foldente for a while.
''Well I guess we'll just have to go for it anyway...''
　That's the conclusion I've come to.

◇ ◇.

　Because of the prolonged consultation with Foldente, I was not able to eat with Korok and Tiree today.
　When I returned to the mansion, Korok and Tiret were asleep on the bed in my room, not in their own room.
　According to Unya.
He said he was going to stay up until you got home, and he tried his best, but...
　It was a good thing.
　I gently stroked their heads, which were sleeping comfortably.
　Then they seemed to smile at the pleasant invitation.
