Chapter 129: Turn Calamity into Good Fortune

Damn it, I read something terrible.What the hell is this?.

I had an awful headache caused by the shock from reading this thing and the lack of sleep. I soon heard a knock on the door of my office.

Master, youre pulling an all-nighter again? You should rest a little, otherwise your body will wont last.

Suu, looking worried, prepared some tea for me.

Today, as well, she was dressed in male clothes.

This way, if she entangles with me the impression given by thiswait, what the heck am I thinking!?

Is this the power of rot and decay? Too scary.

By the way, master. What were the contents of that letter? Was it an urgent matter?

Do you want to read it?

Suu took the letter and started reading it, her eyes turning the size of a chestnut.

Well, I did expect that.

Master, this is a frightening text.

Right? Right?

If you change the names and let it circulate.It will inflict some terrible damage. Not to mention that for the locked-out elves this will most likely make them pull back. As expected from my masters thoughtfulness. I, Suu, admire your craftiness.

Right?

I had this option too, huh?.

For a married person, this story could inflict some major damage, but for a single person it could mean a fatal wound. This could turn out to be a useful trap.

Prepare the paper without delay. Gather as much paper as you can.

Yes. Ill ask Calfa to make the arrangements.

Great, she is suitable for this task.

Fortunately, General Callis is unmarried; Ill prepare a good present for him and the Prime Minister.

Theyll cry of happiness.

Also, you shall ask my son-in-law prince Mars about the Prime Ministers habits, hobbies and plans and add them all to the story. It will increase the credibility.

Fufufu, its a wonderful idea. We will mix in information only the high ranked nobles could know, right?

Indeed. However, be sure to avoid the things which only son-in-law-donoknows, okay? The only thing I want to achieve with this is.

To split the Prime Ministers faction.and destroy their unity, right?

When people become suspicious, they start to doubt everyone in their surroundings. If it goes smoothly, then great, but if we fail, we at least spread some shameful rumors.

Understood. Did you know master, that you recently started to smile in the same way as the Frontier Count?

The last remark heavily injured my tofu mental state.

Was she praising me with that?

Suu showed a dark smile, seemingly full of meaning.

And so, I have a request, your excellency!

I see

That afternoon, the festival of visiting nobles started.

The pretext was Beas delivery and its celebration.

The real motive however.

Please! Take my daughter.Accept my daughter into the war m

aidens unit!!

This was the eighth person who asked me the same thing.

My maids unit is quite popular now under the name of the war maidens unit.

I cant believe that my daughter, who only devoted herself to training and weapons, is now such a fine lady!

Due to Suus strict training, my maids became rather decent, and their parents came to thank me for this, feeling great joy.

The other nobles who heard them made a huge fuss about me accepting their daughters too.

All right, at first, Ill have her work for me as a maid. After that, well see.

Yes! Thank you very much!

A talent recycling factory, Duke Zests domainAnd so I started to gain more and more capable personnel..

Great, I have more maids now!?

You have a strong influence now, master. It is delightful! Please rest assured for I will thoroughly train them.

Suu laughed and said, but the maids units opinions were..

Ah, our poor juniors.

Theyre all fools.

They intentionally entered hell.

This training was harder than the combat one.

Whats with those words you just used! As punishment, youll stand still until tomorrow morning with books placed on your heads.

Please forgive us!

Even my master was shocked when he saw Suus spartan-like training style.

Thanks goodness I didnt have to go through thatYes, as I thought about this, I drank some more tea.

Your excellency, excuse me.

Albert entered my office, sending fluttering glances at the situation on the corridor.

There were about ten new maids waiting there.

It was quite the spectacle.

Whats the matter?

Ah, yes! It is dinner time, so what do you want to do? There are a few newcomers among the black knights tooso, once in a while.

Right, one section of the imperial capitals elite unit expressed their desire to join the black knights.

They received the Emperors permission and Im planning to attach them to my black knights unit.

However, all of them are muscle brains who joined me because they wanted to test their own powers on the dukes domain, already famous for its dragon pets.

TrueBut, last time it was rather awful, so.

If they take to thatFluffy Paradiseagain I wont be able to endure it.

This time, Id like to pass.

Your excellency, I did a lot of learning. In order to avoid the riskiness of entering a place without researching about it first!

Albert, that is common sense, actually.

I took a mouthful of tea, as I listened to Alberts talk.

At any rate, Im sure itll be a worthless place, so Ill refuse him as soon as he tells me the name of the shop.

This time, the shop is calledWell-Established! Flower Garden of the Palace Ladies. It is a place with tradition that even the hero from the past favored, and this month is the service enhancement month.

Circumstances changed. Continue.

Yes sir! The women wear uniforms in the so-called Japanese style and they do all sorts of stuff for you! At this time, for only three gold coins, youll receive the daimyo1course!

Albert, well go there immediately! Prepare the horses!!

And so, I took the black knights along and hurried towards that place.

Towards the place that my predecessor left behind, theFlower Garden of the Palace Ladies.Senpai, thank you, truly!

Aah, this is magnificent.

Your excellency.I, Albert, am deeply moved.

It was indeed a flower garden.

Beautiful women wearing Japanese style clothes stood up in lines.

I paid for everyones feesOf course, we bought the daimyo course.

The kimonos more or less set in the patterns of this world, but

They made me remember my home.

Then, the service started.

Come now, please use this.

We took the scissors that the girls gave us.

.We took the scissors.

Because you chose the daimyo course, you can get as many flowers as you can carry.

The Flower Garden of the Palace Ladies was a flowers shop

It is a high class flowers shop where you reap the flowers directly from the field.

Albert, once we return, well need to talk.

Yes!

Alberts was shaking severely, but since I managed to see some dearly missed Japanese style clothes, Ill forgive him with a light punishment.

I was thinking about these things when I heard the voice of an unexpected person.

Oh my, isnt this son-in-law-dono! Do you plan to give these flowers to Bea for your wedding anniversary? Wonderful dedication you re showing there! But, the date will change very soonWill you make it in time?

It was mother-in-law LamiaWe-wedding anniversary?

Was it today!? This is very bad!!

Albert, you did great! Take your time and enjoy this place with the youngsters!!

I threw towards him a bag of gold coins, grabbed as many flowers as I could and the hurried back to Beas place.

Please.please, let me get there in time.
