Ahh, that smile of hers! That’s actually a smile of a Goddess!

「As a result of there’s a risk of creating a dependency on the outlaws within the issues associated to the termination of the Bandits within the territories of those that employed them?」

「That’s proper. In spite of everything, part of the noble’s duties is to guard the individuals residing within the territories which have been entrusted to them, and it actually doesn’t appear to be applicable for the noble’s half to be performed by anybody aside from nobles, lest they need their authority to be broken and their proper to guide their individuals to be questioned.」

「Even when this technique has been applied as an emergency one, you at all times should rigorously contemplate when it’s going to be worthwhile to rent Bandits to hunt and kill different Bandits for you, and when the demerits of this technique would possibly far outweigh the potential deserves.」

I used to be actually impressed by Cassia’s phrases in the direction of the Duke, however despite the fact that I felt amazed by her and needed to stare at her in admiration, I do know that I can not do this if I need to keep away from by chance incurring the Duke’s wrath at having his spouse ogled by somebody like me. These eyes of his…. Are these the eyes of somebody who’s me pondering whether or not he ought to have me purged for his spouse with lustful eyes? Earlier, I used to be involved about disagreeing with the Duke, however now I’m worrying if I’m not going to get punished for one thing far more critical. Nonetheless….

「Effectively, in that case I suppose you’re going to have a lot causes to rejoice, Cassia, as a result of it’s not vital for us to be using that technique, as a result of Lord Michio and his Celebration managed to defeat Heinz the Bandit and his gang.」

Appears just like the issues have gone nicely, and I’m not going to have my ass purged anytime quickly.

「Good heavens. Is that true?」

Cassia’ eyes opened broadly when the Duke relayed the information to her, after which she checked out me with an expression that seemed like a mix pleasure and delight. Oh my God, these blue eyes of hers appear like they’re so deep that I would find yourself drowning in them fully if I carry on gazing them any longer! I by no means felt extra as if I used to be being absorbed by somebody’s eyes than how I’m feeling proper now on this very second.

Truly, you already know what? If I used to be to be absorbed by Cassia’s lovely eyes, then I feel that I wouldn’t have something towards it in any respect. Furthermore, I’d like to be absorbed by her eyes if it might imply that I’d get to remain part of her endlessly!

「Out of all of the Bandits who appeared in our territories, Simon the Mad Canine was the one one who managed to flee together with his life, however with out different individuals who would do his bidding for him, I extremely doubt that he’s going to have the ability to sow as a lot chaos as he did earlier than in Selmar. In actual fact, it wouldn’t even shock me if he has already been killed by different Bandits aiming to change his Intelligence Card for cash.」

Effectively, to be trustworthy, that’s certainly the case. Simon the Mad Canine is already useless, but it surely’s simply that I can not inform them about it with the intention to keep away from additional questions with regard to how precisely did he die.

「Thanks very a lot. Earlier than they got here right here to the Hartz Duchy, Heinz the Bandit and his band of outlaws had been very lively within the territories of the Earl of Selmar, that are additionally my dad or mum’s homeland, and some of my good acquaintances and buddies had been murdered by him, so I’m very grateful to you, Lord Michio, for taking revenge for them on my behalf, even you probably have carried out so unknowingly.」

Cassia then bowed her head to me respectfully, because of which her lovely, golden hair fall down like a cascade of golden water or the rays of sunshine.

「No, no, no, there’s no must thank me for it in any respect! I’m merely grateful for listening to your variety phrases, Girl Cassia.」

「Simply between all of us right here, once I heard that Heinz the Bandit and his band moved I right here from the Earl of Selmar’s territories, I used to be extraordinarily frightened about how the state of affairs with them was going to develop, however now that we all know that almost all of Heinz’s crew has been handled, the residents of each Selmar and Hartz will be capable of really feel relieved and sleep with out worrying about their rapid future.」

「To let you know the reality, I’m simply honored that I could possibly be of use to you and that my actions had been in a position to assist somebody aside from myself.」

I don’t actually care all that a lot in regards to the individuals of the territories belonging to that Earl of Selmar, but when the state of affairs with these Bandits was sufficient to make Cassia frightened like that, then I can say that I’m actually glad that I obtained to kill these Bandits if it implies that Cassia goes to really feel relieved now.

「By the way in which Lord Michio, for those who don’t thoughts me asking, then might you inform me if any of the members of Heinz the Bandit’s gang was maybe outfitted with a hoop.」

The Duke requested me that unexpectedly.

Talking of rings, I suppose there’s this one Ring of Willpower that the women discovered mendacity on the bottom after we had been looking the battlefield for the Bandit tools when our battle with them was lastly over.

I take out the Ring of Willpower from my Merchandise Field, and go it to the Duke. There needs to be no issues with me displaying this ring to him, since it might probably additionally function a definitive proof that I used to be actually the one who defeated the Bandits.

「By a hoop, do you maybe imply this ring?」

「Oh….. No, sadly, this ring just isn’t the one I used to be pondering off, as a result of it’s too new to be the one which I keep in mind.」

Effectively, in that case I suppose there’s nothing that we will actually do about it, since this explicit Ring of Willpower has been restored to its peak situation from the beat-up state it was within the second once I carried out a Character Reset whereas having it outfitted on me, so there is no such thing as a approach that it’s going to return to its earlier state now that it has been reborn.

「I’m sorry to listen to it, however sadly that is the one ring that I discovered after my battle with the Bandits was over.」

「Don’t fear about it then, we’re not going to doubt your phrases, Lord Michio. What do you assume, Gozer?」

「Hmm, once I take a look at this ring, I feel that the one which belonged to you had extra scratches on it, however who can say if the ring has not been polished a number of instances ever because you misplaced it?」

After I had a puzzled look on my face regarding the state of affairs that was transpiring proper now, I used to be promptly supplied an evidence by the Duke.

「Heinz the Bandit stole the Ring of Willpower from the Earl of Selmar a lot of years again. You see, Lord Michio, that ring was initially a household heirloom that belonged to my home, and when me and Cassia obtained married, I introduced it to her as my betrothal reward.」

That’s what the Duke stated. So initially, this Ring of Willpower was an adjunct that belonged to him? And it was one thing that he introduced to Cassia as a betrothal reward once they had been going to get married…. Wait a minute…

「Betrothal reward…?」

「It’s a customized that’s in direct distinction to the one which the members of the frequent folks have. In case of commoners, the position that males have is to combat towards monsters. However due to that and the hazard that combating the monsters brings with itself, the numbers of the male inhabitants are usually reducing, whereas the inhabitants of the females will increase. It’s for this precise motive that on the time of marriage bride has to supply a dowry with the intention to be accepted into the groom’s household, and if the dowry is taken into account to not be sufficient, then the wedding can both be known as off totally within the worst-case state of affairs, whereas within the best-case state of affairs it would result in the event of polygamy. Nonetheless, that’s not the case among the many individuals who depend themselves among the many ranks of the the Aristocracy. Since a really small proportion of nobles takes it upon themselves to truly go combat towards the monsters, the numbers of female and male nobles are roughly equal. It’s for that precise motive whereas within the case of the Aristocracy, it’s a male’s obligation to offer the bride with a betrothal reward on the time of marriage.」
