My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World-Chapter 1061
Chapter 1061
It wasn’t as unsettling as expected
“Yes. We came here to learn about the slums.”
“…I think I understand now.”
“What do you mean, Claire?”
“Mr. Takumi. Ractos is part of the Liebert territory. Nobles from other territories should not be researching the situation here… But even if they did, I would hardly imagine that they would limit themselves to the slums.”
“I see…” ƒreewebɳovel.com
“So, if they are not from other territories… Well, that only leaves a few options. You two. Were you sent by my father?”
“Ah… As you say, Lady Claire, we were sent here by the duke’s order.”
“Mr. Ekenhart…”
Only someone powerful could send out an order to go around spying… So I suppose it made sense.
“So it’s true… But why did my father want to learn about the slums?”
“Because…”
And then the two men explained the reason.
They had been ordered to tell Claire everything if they were caught. Otherwise, Claire would have had to just confront her father.
As proof, the two even produced a document written in Mr. Ekenhart’s own hand.
Claire and Johanna looked at it to confirm. And then we all knew that they really were working on Mr. Ekenhart’s orders.
As for what they were doing here…
Apparently, Mr. Ekenhart was worried about how Tilura would be alone in the mansion. As many of us would be leaving for Range village.
And Mr. Ekenhart had been wanting to do something about the slums, which had the potential to become a hotbed for crime. And so he had taken the opportunity to learn more about the place.
Well, his main motivation was the safety of his daughter, which was understandable… Claire and I were a little worried about her as well.
Range village was not too far, but it was still at a distance that we could not rush back easily if something happened.
“Hah…father… Though, I understand why he is worried.”
While Claire sighed, I could see that she was a little happy.
Even if this seemed like too much, perhaps it was not a bad thing to cautiously learn about the place.
After that, we continued to question the men.
Apparently, as they learned more about the place, they became friends with the two other men. That was why they were together.
Still, if they worked for the duke, they should know all about Tilura. Why would they try to attack Rahle?
“Uh…Rahle, was it? We were informed about the creature kept by Lady Tilura. But we didn’t expect it to land right in front of us.”
“We thought the town was under attack from a monster, and so we… We really did not know Lady Tilura was there…”
“Well, it would have been difficult to see her from the front.”
Rahle was very tall when standing upright.
“So…the reason they started to call Tilura ‘Princes’…?”
“To prevent the people of the slums becoming hostile against her. After all, it will take time for real change… But for now, we were to help find ways to keep her out of harm’s way.”
“He is so demanding…”
“But I think the results are not bad, Claire…hehe…”
The sentiment towards Tilura could have easily moved in a negative direction. So perhaps this was a good thing.
In a way, coming here with Rahle had resulted in a solution for their problem…
Or maybe I was overthinking it.
