Chapter 38

"Ah, it seems that you are the one who caused a stir in the palace for a while. Raise your head."

Though, the King did not have a very unpleasant voice. He rather seemed to know about him. Biddle took courage and raised his head. He hoped that the Chancellor would not be reprimanded because of him.

"You mean you did all this?"

"It is."

This word barely came out of his throat. As he turned his eyes a little, he admired the expressionless expression of his superior.

He saw the king skimming through the documents.

"I should give you a prize."

However, Biddle was perplexed because literally all the King did was quickly turn over the documents with his fingertips.

"Kentrail, if you checked, he's done it right. Take care of it as it is."

"Please check again."

"It's fine."

He could see that the chancellor's eyebrows were getting wrinkled. It was proof that he was angry.

"Your Majesty, what would you do if every time I played a trick on the documents?"

"Then, you should think that I've got the wrong person. Is there anything I can do?"

No matter how he looked at it, the rest of the people seemed familiar with this situation.

"Can I do whatever I want to reward Biddle?"

"Yes."

Biddle was surprised at the sudden call of his name.

"Is it all right if I give him a nobility status?"

At those words, not only Biddle, but also the standing attendants and maid were astonished. They were staring at each other to see if they had heard each other properly.

"Chan...chancellor."

Biddle barely squealed and stopped him. What do you mean by doing this if he was really serious? He himself had heard the rumors. It was a nonsensical rumor about how ignorant his superior was.

Still, the superior who he served next to was not like that. Though judging at this situation now, he wondered if the rumors were true.

"Huh, noble?"

Perhaps the King was thinking the same thing, so he made an unsure sound.

"Yes, I can't give him a high rank, but if it's a non-hereditary position, other nobles won't be very much against it."

"Leave the Chancellor and everybody out."

Everyone hurriedly left the place at the king's subdued voice. Before leaving, Biddle looked at his superior with an anxious look, and then quickly retreated at the voice of the chieftain urging him.

"What are you thinking?"

When there were only the two of them left, the king came down near Kentrail and asked, "I'm just begging you to give the talented people a place they deserve."

"Yes, I know how much you care for him."

The foolish official who came this far didn't seem to be aware of it, though there was a lot of noise when Kentrail brought him under him.
