Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku ~ Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito ~ The Rebirth of the Reincarnated Nobility - Chapter 24
A week after the new Pope Dentar was appointed, Bishop Harnham and the others were to return to the Kingdom of Esfort.
Since the day after his inauguration, Pope Denther had been busy trying to capture those involved in the attacks.
Whenever he had time, he had a meeting with Cain, but since he could not be seen bowing to Cain, his bodyguard, the meeting was usually held in a private room.
Bishop Harnum had also been solicited by Cardinal Dentor to become a cardinal and help out in the Church of Marinford, but he had firmly refused.
He said that he was looking forward to spending time in the Kingdom of Esfort watching Lord Cain do his thing.
The journey home was uneventful and safe. On the way back, we stayed overnight in the city of Jenashee, but the priest who had welcomed us on the way there seemed to have been involved in the attack, so he was captured and a substitute priest was dispatched.
The biggest problem was returning to the Kingdom of Esfort and the first city, Silvester.
The Count of Ragnhav was overjoyed that Cardinal Dentar, Bishop Harnham’s brother, had become the new Pope. He was about to hold a lavish victory party, but Bishop Harnham appeased him and asked him to keep it simple.
Cain left Count Ragnarff in the hands of Bishop Harnham and rested comfortably.
A few days later, Cain and his men arrived safely in King’s Landing to complete their escort mission.
“…… So, what do you have to offer? Oh, Cain.”
In the reception room of the royal castle, surrounded by the king, Duke Eric, and Prime Minister Magna, Cain was sitting with a shrug of his shoulders.
“…… No, I was just telling you what the gods said with a little exaggeration, that’s all. ……”
Bishop Harnham had told the king everything that had happened within the Marinford cult, and Cain had been called in for questioning.
“So he made a …… transition figure. You know what would happen if such a thing were to spread, don’t you?”
I’m relieved to say that it’s not something that anyone other than Cain could actually create, but its very existence became a problem.
Cain was made to promise that he would never speak of it.
“It’s okay, I won’t create it again.”
“No, you’re right, though, ……. Maybe you’ll need it. You know, like when we evacuate. So, …….”
Cain said he would never create it again, but he understood that the shifting visage could be very helpful in an emergency.
As the king, it was great to have an insurance policy that would allow him to evacuate safely in case of emergency.
That’s why the king’s mind was also in turmoil.
“…… Your Majesty. Why don’t you just say it honestly? I want you to create it if necessary. ……”
The advice comes from Prime Minister Magna in a dumbfounded manner.
“Well, what the hell, Cain ……. Can you create just one more pair for me in case I need them for something? Of course, I won’t tell anyone about it.”
“…… I understand. It’s what His Majesty asked me to do.”
Cain created a pair of figureheads and placed them in their place.
“Mm. They are splendid. I can’t pay for them out of the government budget, but I’ll arrange for them to be paid for out of my own personal funds.”
I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s a great idea.
◇◇◇
Three beautiful women were relaxing on a sofa in the office of the Silford mansion in the royal capital.
Telestia, Silk, and Lirutana had forced Cain, who hadn’t been to school in a while, to accompany them to his mansion.
Cain wanted to do his office work, but they forced their way in, so they had a tea party on the sofa in the office instead of the reception room.
In addition, Lizabeth, Cain’s new fiancée, had to be invited, and Cain had to be transferred to Drintle to bring her along.
With four women in the room, there was no end to the topics of conversation.
I’m not sure what to say, but I’m going to say it.
“…… Master Cain…… Huh? Eh!”
“What’s wrong, Teres. What?”
The women were surprised by Hinata’s sudden appearance from the figurehead standing next to Cain’s office desk.
“Oh, Lord Cain. I’ve come …….”
“Oh, Hinata …….”
At this inopportune moment, Cain put his hand on his forehead and looked up at the heavens.
“Master Kain. Can I just hear what this is all about?”
“Cain-kun, you’ll talk to me properly, right?”
“Cain, she’s a saint, right? Why?”
“Hahaha, a member of Cain’s harem. This is interesting.”
Lizabeth’s voice echoed in the office as she laughed while watching Cain being surrounded by Telestia, Silk, and Lil’ Tana.
