“Sorry to keep you waiting. My lord is already coming here.”
The fox beastman butler who had brought us refills of tea said that the Margrave would be arriving shortly. We waited nervously, wondering who would come in.
Then there was a knock on the door and as we stood up, two men entered the room. One was a young man and the other was someone we knew.
“Oh, it’s Grandpa!”
“Hahaha, it’s been a while.”
Yes, it was the old man who rode the carriage with us and the guild master to go to the Eastern border.
But, Ao and Shiro, no matter how surprised you are, don’t point fingers at people.
“Thank you for taking such good care of my father on the journey. Please have a seat first.”
A young man motioned for us to sit down, and upon a closer look, I can see that the old man and this man look very similar. They even have the same hair color and facial features.
For the time being, we sat down.
“Nice to meet you. I’m the current Margrave of Eastern Frontier. Next to me is my father, the former Margrave.”
“Hohoho, it’s been a while. But I did say that we’ll meet soon.”
“Could it be that the previous Margrave and the Guild Master were in cahoots?”
“Hahaha, I suppose so. I knew in advance that you guys are coming to the Eastern Frontier, but I didn’t expect that we’d be riding together in a carriage.”
Apparently, they had recognized us since we were together in the carriage.
To think that they knew about us already and was deliberately pretending not to know us is really….
“Margrave, this is a letter from the Margrave of the Southern Margravate.”
“Thank you. Let me check it.”
I continued talking with the Guild Master and the previous Margrave, while Sue calmly handed a letter to the Eastern Margrave.
Sorry, it looks like I’m going to be bothering you a bit more.
“Hmm, I heard that the Red Scorpion also appeared in the Southern Margravate, but I didn’t know it was this important.”
“Yes, if we did it poorly, it would cause a lot of damage to the town.”
When the Margrave finished reading the letter, I was finally freed from the Guild Master and the previous Margrave.
Well, there’s a serious thing to talk about now.
“You guys just got here but you have probably sensed it, this territory has a problem with the church.”
“Yes. I also saw those clergymen. They are acting like villains.”
“Sigh. I don’t think you’d know that much, but we are in a situation where we can’t do anything about it.”
The clergymen who had been causing trouble at the guild were making false accusations and acts like the members of a mafia.
I could detect them in my enemy search magic, and I could tell that they weren’t decent people.
