Chapter 186: Paladia Royal Castle and Village Situation pt3
Will frowned while briefly saying those words to his father.
「That's weird, isn't it?」
The village chief raised his voice in surprise.
"What do you mean? 」
「Why is a nobleman not like him wanting to get help from other nobles? He's probably hiding something, isn't he? 」
「HaaA?？ Not want? Hiding something? What are you talking about? 」
Will asked without trying to hide his hostile tone.
「They usually choose to rely on other nobles rather than resting in a village like ours. Those nobles have their own doctors as well .. 」
「It ........ Because the fever has not come down and he cannot move」 yet
「Nevertheless, he, in fact, can ask us to seek help from our local noble house. By doing that, our local nobles might send their doctors, right? How will you explain it? 」
「Fuck I'll do that. Wasn't it you who first said not to raise objections to noble-sama? Aren't you the one who told me not to get too involved in this matter? Besides, if you're so eager to do so, why did you ask me first? 」
Responding to Will who spoke in a rude manner――,
「....... Guh, I asked you because I don't know if he's hiding something. Did he say anything suspicious? 」
The village chief replied with another question in an irritated tone.
「Do not know. 」
「Oi, answer me correctly. It's too late for us once something happens. 」
The village chief told Will in a resolute tone in listening to his apathetic answer.
「................. Ceh, is it because he is noble, or because you are too afraid of being infected? Aren't you acting like a petty person here, pop? You're too wary of him. 」
Will said in a disdainful tone.
「And you're too optimistic. Stupid, look at your full face! 」
"WHAT! ? 」
Will was furious to hear his father say that.
"Deflect your voice . Quiet . Noble-sama probably heard your voice, you know. 」
The village chief scolded his son in a frightened tone.
「GUH ...........」.
「Listen. That's because I have responsibilities as the village chief. There was no way I could let a strange illness infect the people in the village, nor could I let something that was prone to causing trouble remain. 」
「Hah, what are you talking about? You're not sick, are you? 」
"Fast right . You're not just worried because she's cute, are you? 」
The village chief immediately replied as soon as he heard Will's condescending question.
「CEH, So what, have a problem with that? Flora-sama is a kind and gentle person. She was not the type of girl who would ridicule the trivial mistakes of a small village chief. Now tell me, what's wrong with that? 」
「What if that noble-sama suddenly dies in our village? Who's gonna be responsible for that? 」
「Urgh …………………. . 」
「In addition, putting aside the matter of the disease, there is something fishy about that noble-sama. I didn't ask him about the matter because it could be bad. Didn't we? Well, you probably never considered my intentions. 」
Saying so, the village chief looked at Will with a surprised face.
「Suspicious? ……… What are you talking about? 」
Will asked in an angry voice.
「Fact that he is a foreign noble who was stranded in this rural area due to some kind of disaster. Even if it was just a joke, the disappearance of a noble should be a big deal, right? To the extent that it is not strange to form a search team to look for it. However, no search party came to this village to look for him. It's been the fifth day since noble-sama came to this village, you know? There may be delays depending on the local master, but don't you think that there might be some sort of problem? 」
「It ..........................」.
Will was at a loss for words again as the village chief brought up his own reasoning. Although he wanted to refute his father's suspicions, he was unable to find fault in them.
「Si nobility-sama is indeed good. And not the type of person who would execute uneducated villagers just for trivial mistakes. But he's involved in some problems. What would you do if he involved this village in his troubles? If possible, I don't want to take that risk. 」
"Then………… . What do you want to do? 」
Will asked with hate.
「That's also something I'm troubled about. Even though he seems like a good person on the surface, we might provoke his anger if we ask the wrong questions. To be honest, our best option is to rely on our local rulers. 」
The village head replied thus after sighing long.
「Oioioi, do you mean you will rely on the local master without permission from Flora-sama? 」
Will replied in a surprised voice.
「………. I'll ask her permission if her fever doesn't go down, of course. 」
The village chief subtly spoke with an underlying meaning.
「S-In that case, a few days. At least wait a few more days. 」
Ask Will in a hurry.
「Ya .................... I promise you. Although I won't tell you not to fall in love with that noble-sama, don't even dare to have lewd or lewd thoughts about him. In short, don't get too involved with him. 」
The village chief told Will that as a warning while closing his eyes.
「HaaaaH, what are you talking about, old man! ? 」
Will was confused and his face suddenly felt hot.
「I'm serious here. If you can promise me that, I will do what I promised and wait a few days until the fever goes down. But you should immediately report to me if you notice any strange signs of it. Understand? 」
The village chief said with a serious face.
「Uuh, i ………………. I understand"
Will nodded awkwardly.
「Then it was a promise. Since we're ready, I'd like to ask you to tell the restless youths the same thing I told you. You are many and those nobles-sama live in a different world. 」
The village chief warned him.
「...........
Will nodded obediently though he frowned when he heard that they were living in a different world. Maybe because he forgot about it, or just put the matter aside, he never talked about the birthmark on Flora's nape.
