After finishing dinner he said to Crowley"give my thank's to the chef he has so good skills".
He responded" I will conveye you praise to him he and all the kitchen stuff would be glad to hear it "
The he turned for chamberlain telling him to give a quick so of the territory the important things he should give his intention right away and leave the minor one to a more formale tting.
The answer he will hear from whom he thinks the would be chamberlain of the castle really baffled him.
at this mont jean really was in a situation which no body would love to be it all started two weeks ago when a lettre arrived from the sovereign of this land grand-duke arthas Pendragon or from his given title by the local the absent baron.
The lettre contained praise for the chamberlain for his ticulous governing of the field in his na but also a shocking news and terrible news for him who acted and lived like a real baron here and holding absolute power over the populace.
The news was that two weeks from now the territory would be taking over by Damien who by all accounts was a good for nothing in his eyes and until that ti he would be the acting baron and after transfering the authority to him he could co back to take an administrative position in the grand-duchy .
He doesn't know who wrote that lettre but it made Dylan which is the na of the chamberlain effectively the baron for 2 weeks not wanting to go back to be a subordinate after being the top dog and a local tyrant here for many years he grew accustod to people frowning upon seeing him to get his favour and just a nod from ho will change lives here and nobody like to relinquish power even if it's juste temporaire or borrowed one.
So he wrote two docunts giving himself half of the treasury of the barrony' and the right to govern the port town of mayenhi which was the only other town in the territory aside from the capital and it's main hub for importing and exporting by sea.
Effectively taking control of the mariti trade in fief.
and the second docunt contained a pardon for a group of pirates and an invitation for them to settle in the town and acte as his personnel guard and peace keepers in the town and if the rumour to be believed they accepted.
Now his has to tell all this bad news to the baron and hope that he wouldn't be the target of his anger.
So after a second of his mind wandering of he started talking ' first a would like to welco you baron in the na of all your citizens secondly I am jean my lord and I am the finance minister or more precisely the account of the territory.
as for chamberlain Dylan after receiving the letter from the Duke of which the writing could be interpreted as making him baron until your coming here to beco the baron.
he transferred to himself half the treasury and the ownership of the port town Manheim " he stop talking but Damien could tell that there are other bad news but Jean probably didn't want to tell him fearing his anger.
Clearing his throat 'ahem' he said ' you can continue to speak you have nothing to fear after all it's not your fault'.
Hearing what you said you could tell from the beating of his heart he started to relax .
Sighting 'my lord he issued another docunt on which he offered a group of pirates Amnesty and made them his guard and if the rumour to be believed they accepted and Their numbers are around five hundreds veterans pirates and ruffians '.
After a mont you looked around you saw Angers in the eyes of your fateful butler but in the eyes of your chief knight and high end power not my problem look.
So he started saying:' you can't start a rule without a few disturbing senses for the ti being dear jean you would be the acting chamberlain of the barrony and Crowley will offer you assistance and if you prove you worth your promotion would beco permanent '.
'could you give us a quick summary of the situation in the fiefdom'
Hearing this you could see the excitent in he eyes he answered he and the butler at sa ti 'yes' then the acting chamberlain started speaking again ' before the sessions from the traitor Dylan the barrony consisted of two town a big mining village in the circadian mountains which produce iron;coal;sulfer and to so degree saltpeter and silver the mines aren't working at full capacity mainly due to attack from goblin tribe ,so low magical animals and monsters taking the mountains and the forest near it as ho .
then they are the desert lockout a small village with post watch consisting of a miltia garrison of 100 which acte like an early warning if the hyena tribes launch a raid in our land beyond the desert is rumoured that their is so kingdom ruled by civilized heyina and othe humoind but no-one confird it and there's rumor that so sects also live in the desert.
also they other small and dium villages who are around the two towns and South there is viscounty of vinizia which is experiencing a civil war due to the death of Viscount and leavin no heir or legitimate heir to be more precise so the four vassal baronies are fighting for the title and claiming legitimacy from so old family relationships to the Viscount family.
The biggest town of the barrony and also act as the regional cspital and permanent sit of the baron from he rule is ashen a bustling town with over a ten thousands residents it's main industry are producing iron and farming since the surrounding land was cleared hundreds of years ago and since then provide for the town and the barrony with ample food.
The town also has a garrison of three hundred soldiers and a captain leading them while the vice captains and others soldier retinue who belonged directly to or followed Kant directly went with him to Manheim.
but there's so land near the forest and mountain range are reclaid due to attack and raides from goblins,ogres ,lizardn or others since the security there is lacking and no subjugation force had been able to eliminate this treat so the land was abandoned.
They are even rumours that deep in the range mountains reside so powerful beings like true dragons and giants as you can hear deep in the mountains frightening roars and fell so deep bloodline suppression.
in the forest it's said that there's a an elves town and the protection of so green dragon clan but it's not confird
and finaly the town of Manheim which controlled the mariti trade of the entire barrony between it and the other countries and continent only accessibly by sea'.
After talking his breath he continued ' the barrony has two main products to export iron and flour since the neighbouring viscounty is in a civil war the two products has seen an increase in prices which in turn made more money for the fief as for population is around fifty thousand including the town of Manheim as of our revenue it's flactuate between a thousand and two thousand silver coin after dudacting expenses '.
