"Ha? Really?"
I even forgot the method of controlling my strength that I risked my life to practice, happily jumped and got my head hit by the ceiling. Gosh, my head. The place got hit yesterday got hit again, that really hurts. The soldier who talked to me looked at me with surprised eyes, and Karl laughed.
The soldier slowly said to me:
"Ah. Mr. Nedval, the thane and Earl Huritchell's troops were all captured by the goblins. I pretended to be dead, so I didn't get caught. Then a goblin came to stab the corpses to verify whether the people had died, it came to my side, and I struck it with all my strength, then finally managed to escape. "
I was too happy, and I even forgot the pain of my head. I kept saying all kinds of blessings to soldier, like becoming a billionaire no matter what kind of career, getting a super beautiful wife, the next eight generations will be wealthy and healthy etc. The soldier is laughing, and asked me:
"Hey, why can you jump so high?"
"If you can not to flatter girls who are your enemies, you will become like me!"
After the words that no one could understand, I was too happy, so began shrieking some strange noises, ran out of the hall.
On the next day after Sanson arrived, I heard this news from a escaped soldiers. Really very happy! Dad surely knows how to strain on the battlefield. I am hopping around, sometimes doing some flips, which makes the passing people think this guy is 100% crazy.
When I was lying in the middle of the training ground and smiling at the sky, Sanson ran over. Sanson had removed his dirty armor which was full of the dust and blood and put on clean clothes. I wanted to speak to Sanson, but he spoke first with a smile:
"I also heard that. On the way I saw that you were simply crazy, so I asked someone what happned. It's great, Huchi."
"Yeah! My father doesn't know anything, even doesn't know how to die."
"....Can it be considered as a compliment?"
"By the way where are you going? Why don't you take a rest, but instead even wore these formal clothes."
"I'm going to some local families, informing them that their family was killed, this is my mission."
This moment, I suddenly felt very guilty for my happiness just now. The war dead's houses will soon become scenes of tears. Sanson saw my sorry face, smiled at me and said:
"In fact, you have nothing guilty. Your happiness is exactly the same as the sadness of the families, are a matter of course."
"But... This seems that I only care about myself."
"Seeing you got happy to such a degree, that could be right too. If you still feel guilty, go to help Tyburn. I heard that you have became his assistant?"
"Okay."
Tyburn in the hall is busy taking care of the soldiers, but just like Karl said, the soldiers were able to come here then their injuries can't be too serious. Most of them are just with minor injuries, in fact, the bigger problem is that they are exhausted. They were constantly attacked by monsters in the process of fleeing, so they are extremely tired after arriving here.
Tyburn has handled several critical injuries, now he is just sitting on a chair and commanding the maids. I am commanded by Tyburn, transporting the injured soldiers to their home.
Sanson met me on the way to the village, he made a surprised expression on my strength. I am briskly pulling the cart loaded with wounded, Sanson grabbed the car and is running at the back.
"Wow, you say this is OPG? Really incredible!"
"So now I am finally similar to you. Because I have got the power of an ogre."
"What did you say! You! Your wicked mouth is still the same."
On the way sending these soldiers back to home, each of them showed a happy face. In the village, when I put them down in front of the door of their house, looked at the tears of their family members, and I felt that I was almost going to cry too. The cart I am pulling is loaded with joy. Once the villager saw me pulling the cart, they would cheer for the people above. Oh! You came back alive. All thanks to everyone's blessing, sorry for letting you worry. Cray! You came back! Oh, Diane!
I looked at a smooching couple and almost laughed out happily. This is really a happy job.
However, sometimes Sanson stopped at the doors of the homes of the war dead, went inside to convey the bad news, I really couldn't bear to watch that scene. Men handshake with Sanson with a stiff expression and say thank you, and women clutch Sanson and cry loudly. Whenever this happened, Sanson could only motionlessly look at the sky. Tears dropped from his eyes, the cheeks of the soldiers and me are also moistened by tears.
"Hey, don't worry about it!"
"I say sit!"
We've been to the entire village, sent all the soldiers back, then I forced Sanson to sit on the cart. Sanson refused, but only carrying one person back to castle is fine for me, so he finally couldn't refuse my strong request, laughed and sat on the cart.
"Alright! Let's go!"
"Wow!"
I began to run with the speed that almost overturned the cart. Behind me is Sanson's scream.
"Cart, the cart will be entirely destroyed! You! I don't want to die here!"
"What did you say? Because it's still too slow so you are deadly bored? Charge!"
"Wow Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
I wanted to make Sanson happy, but he seems to be scared. Once we arrived the castle, where he rolled down the cart, he ran away without looking back. I looked at his back and laughed.
※
I laughed for a while, then put the cart to a side, again walked into the hall. This is in order to see if anyone had turned better. But I don't see Tyburn sitting in the hall. Karl is not here too. I don't know why, so I ran to find deacon Hamel.
"Ehh, Mr. deacon, where did Tyburn go? "
"Ah, Huchi you are back? Great. Come with me."
"Huh?"
"We are waiting for you. Hurry."
※ ※ ※
Surprisingly, after sending the wounded back, deacon Hamel directly brought me to the thane's office in the end on the first floor. I've lived so long, but I've never came in to see for even once. On the right side of the corridor, weapons hanging on the wall are flashing with the sunlight reflection, on the left side that sunlight can't shed, several portraits are hung there. I guess in the pictures are the ancestors of the thane. Hanging there probably is to prevent sunlight from damaging the color! I was thinking this kind of things, while moving forward.
Deacon Hamel proficiently opened the huge wooden door and went inside, I pouted and followed him.
I looked around the room, immediately sighed. It's almost empty. It's surrounded by straight stone walls, there are only a few desks, tables, a few chairs and some bookcases like furnitures. Sword with shield hung above the fireplace look like the only ornaments. I know our thane is very poor, but is this even an office of a thane?
There is a table near the huge window, Tyburn, Sanson and Karl are sitting there waiting for us. I don't know what is happening, so I am just standing, but Karl immediately told me to sit down.
"Nedval, come here and sit. Mr deacon?"
Deacon Hamel also sat down. The five men sitting around the table, Sanson and I don't know the reason for coming here, so we are a confused look. Deacon Hamel is a worried expression. But Tyburn and Karl have no special expression.
Deacon Hamel began.
"Now I speak in the identity of the thane's deputy..... Young master Karl? You really don't want to be the thane's deputy?"
Sanson's face changed instantly, became very surprised, but I just nodded.
Why Karl dares to stay in the forest of the thane, live in it leisurely and comfortably? Because his name is Karl Heltant. He is the younger brother of Thane Haltent. In the village, except me, only a few people know.
Karl shook his head.
"I don't have a qualification, I have never helped my brother, and just living a lazy life in the forest. And I have said several times, I don't want to take my brother's seat when he's not here.
Although deacon Hamel showed a face of regret, he didn't continue to push. Sanson is gazing at Karl if an unbelievable expression. then hurriedly looked somewhere else. Deacon Hamel said:
"Well, Guard Captain Sanson Percival!"
"Yes Sir!"
"In order to report on the status of the Heltant Fief and the defeat of The Ninth Amurtaat Crusade, and to request assistance from the King His Majesty, we must send someone to the capital Vyseus Impel. Understand?"
Young master Karl Heltant will be going to the capital. But we need guards here, you should also know that most of the soldiers in the town are injured, into the late autumn, if the monsters found that the guards are weakened, they must desperately attack, that's within our expectation. So we can't send too many people to escort young master. Young master said he wants to go to the capital on his own, but that is simply outrageous. In this season how can you reach the capital by one person? Therefore, I hope you , together with another person to go with him."
Together with another person. Sitting here right now, the only one who is unnecessary here is...
