A silver-haired man rushed in vigorously.
âMaster Chris! Iâve reached my limit! I canât do this!â
âWhatâs going on all of a sudden, Hal?â
âWeâre getting more and more work every day! We need more people!â
âI just hired an additional civil servant the other day. Besides, I donât have any more people to hire.â
Last time, I managed to recruit one of them through a narrow channel due to a complaint from Hal, but it is very difficult to recruit a civil servant, they are very rare.
âMaster Chris. We may be able to get by for now, but sooner or later weâre going to lose our heads.â
Thatâs true. As the population continues to grow, there is inevitably a shortage of not only civil servants but also various other human resources.
We need to develop human resources.
Thatâs right! Iâll open a private school for orphans and squires, and in exchange for working for the Viscountâs family, Iâll give them free tuition! Thatâs what I told him.
âA private school? If you want to build a school, you will have to deal with a lot of trouble, but by making it a private school, you can easily manage it and raise the operating costs, but what about the teachers?â
âOh. Iâll have Yulis, who seems to have a lot of free time on her hands these days, do that for me. Itâs because of Halâs arrival that Yulis is now free.â
âWeâre short on civil servants. But I guess my sister is the right person for the job.â
âYulis has been a tutor for me and she has a good track record. In fact, my brothers have become scholars thanks to Yulisâ education. Itâs not that I want others to experience the torture of Yulis education.â
âIâm sure itâs something like thatâ¦â¦but my sister has a job as a civil servant, so make sure she has a replacement who can teach her while sheâs working.â
âYeah. I understand. Iâll send one of the Viscountâs squires to take her place for now.â
It is another story that the private school that was established afterwards produced a large number of students with excellent but twisted personalities due to the Spartan education of Yulis and the squires who trained them hard to take revenge for Yulis training.
âForget about the private school thing, I want a literate officer who can work immediately!â
âIâm sorry, Hal! I was wrong! We need to find a civil servant now! But I donât have a clue! Youâll have to figure out a way to recruit one with me!â
âYouâre suddenly very passionateâ¦â¦.â
âIâve been making a big mistake! Iâm trying to get away from everything and live a slow life!â
âLook at this.â
Hal held out a letter. What kind of letter is it?
âWhatâs this letter?â
Itâs probably a ball invitation, and itâs stamped with the royal familyâs seal, so theyâre the ones hosting it. Most of the nobles will be there. Please make connections there and get introductions or recruit a civil servant.â
When I opened the letter, it said it was a coming of age party for the second princess, who turned 15.
