Chương 368: Chapter 350. End Of Part 1. Letters And Requests

Letters And Requests /Whoop! / Sarah, Anna and I had just arrived back in my office, and I closed the Portal. / Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! /" Come in!" Seems I didn't return a moment too soon seeing as someone was knocking on the door already. How did the person know though? My answer walked into the door." I'm sorry for disturbing you, Lord Matthew, Lady Sarah, Lady Anna." It was Chris, he must've sensed the mana I used to close the Portal before knocking on the door.

Chris had walked into the room with what looked like a burlap sack over his shoulder. He almost looked like Santa Claus... If he was a Demon... And 6 ft 5... And was yellow-skinned. On 2nd thought... Maybe he didn't look like Santa? Either way, he brought me the full sack of whatever was in it. /Thump! / I looked down at the sack and saw that it was full of paper... Letters to be more exact." What is all of this, Chris?"" Who."" What?"" The correct question would be "who is all of this from?"

It's mail from numerous Noble Families around Diablos, Lord Matthew."" I see... Any idea why I have a massive sack of letters?"" No, do you, Lord Matthew? Because to be honest, I don't think even King Warrick would receive these many letters in one day. Did you do something to anger the Nobles in Zana or something? I know you were talking about using the birthday party attention to announce Roseland Products' debut, right? Are they letters of complaint?

"" Wouldn't they send their letters to Warrick then? This is making even less sense." Chris and I both looked at each other confused. Sarah and Anna had just taken a seat and started to speak to Amy, who had walked into the room with Chris... Seems that Sarah and Anna want to drink some milk tea. I've recently tried the recipe out just to see if it would work with what we have on hand in the mansion. Both Sarah and Anna were big fans, which caused it to spread to all of the other girls in the mansion.

Which caused it to spread to the men as well. Now even Ellie and Wendy are drinking it happily. Once they had finished placing orders, I heard Anna call to me." Darling, do you really not realize what all of these letters are for?"" No, I don't. Maybe I should open one and take a look?"" It's inquiries about making a Contract with Roseland Products, My Love. Pretty much everyone at the party enjoyed the cheesecake and ice cream. They probably all want to create a Contract with us, just like the Counts.""

Why didn't they ask about it while we were still in Zana then?"" Most likely because the Counts were acting as deterrents to them. It'd be rude to jump in line if the person in front of you is a Higher-Ranked Noble. Therefore, they probably wrote letters that have been delivered now."" Fair enough... I guess I need to get to reading then?"" We'll be here with you, My Love." With Sarah's words, I dragged the sack over to my desk and began to get to work. Time passed and eventually the sun set.

I was shocked at just how right Sarah and Anna were. Literally every letter was about ice cream and cheesecake and asking about other products." Haahhh..."" What's the matter? This is what you wanted to happen, right?"" I wanted them to do this while we were still in Zana."" We can't expect everything to go our way, now, can we? Instead of that, why don't Sarah and I help you in some way, Darling?"" Well, I'd appreciate it, but I've already separated the letters into the right categories."

Sarah and Anna looked at the 3 piles of letters I had on my desk." What exactly are the categories, My Love?" Sarah said that as she lifted a letter from the "not happening" pile." Well, to my left is the "maybe" pile, the middle is the "possible" pile and the to my right is the "not happening" pile." Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. Sarah immediately put the letter back down. I saw her sharpen her eyes as she asked the obvious question."

And why is it "not happening"?"" Simply put, they're treating the idea that I'll make a Contract with them like an established fact and they used quite demeaning language. Phrases like "Do as I say, you low-class Human." or "You owe it to Diablos to make this deal. For the pain you've caused all of the bachelors of Diablos." Another good one was "You'll enter our good graces by doing this.", these were some of the phrases used. So obviously, the "not happening" pile was created."

Sarah stared at the letters in the not happening pile like she wanted to burn them to a crisp." What about the maybe pile, Darling?"" Quite simply, their language was better, but we're going to be busy for the next 8 months. The dealings with them would require meetings, haggling and travel... Things we can't do for now. I'll be making a letter for each of these letters to ask if they'd like to schedule an appointment with Roseland Products after we finish up in Blackstone later in the year."

Anna seemed satisfied with my answer. I decided to explain the last one as well." Finally, we have the possibility pile. Point blank, we could strike deals with these people... But it would mean sacrificing our travel plans and devoting it to making Business Contracts as we travel back to Blackstone in 2 months."" I see..."" Is that so?" Sarah and Anna both had similar reactions to each other as I spoke. The plan was to enjoy our trip to Blackstone like we did when we arrived in Paradise.

Since the travel to Paradise was just the 3 of us last time, we took our time and enjoyed the trip together. We did some sightseeing, trying the local foods... Stopping Sarah and Anna from attempting to physically injure Demons that were openly disrespectful and racist to me. It was a decent trip all around. We planned on doing the same thing, only to hit up different cities and towns this time. In this case, most of the Nobles live in those towns... We'd be sacrificing a vacation.

Sarah and Anna were currently mulling over the idea. To be honest, I'm not in favor for doing it currently. The only reason they were truly in the pile was because they were all exceedingly polite to me in their letters. Comparing them to even the maybe pile, where the vast majority of the letters had a quite obvious haughty tone to them was not very favorable to the maybe pile. However, they seemed to understand their positions as either Knight or Baron Ranked Nobles, so they at least attempted to be respectful."

I suppose we should go for it. Do you agree, Anna?"" Yes, at the end of the day, this is for Our Family, isn't it? Then we should make the sacrifice for now... This one time..." Sarah and Anna seemed to be in agreement. Seems I've lost this debate? I guess I should still let my feelings be known." Just to let you both know, if it wasn't for the fact that I knew this could boost our Treasury by a great deal, I would've ignored these as a possibility and just kept them in the maybe pile."" Why is that, My Love?""

I wanted to be selfish this time." Sarah and Anna both began to smile at my words." You wanted to spend those 6 months just enjoying our time together, didn't you? You should've told us that before we made a decision, Darling."" If I did that, you'd both wouldn't have been honest. Doesn't matter now, I guess? I'll get started on the letters for this side as well. This is going to be an even busier 8 months than I thought."" Well, at least now, we don't need to worry about food, isn't that right?

Besides, we and Emily can help you with writing the letters, we should be able to get it done without impacting these 2 months we have here in Paradise, right, My Love?"" We've come far since we've first arrived here. From a ghost town, to now, having everyone scrambling to make Contracts with us. It's almost a shame that Alle will need to return home soon."" Yes, hopefully she, along with Cynthia, Asha and Sharon will be there too. It'd be nice to catch up with all of them."" Speaking of which, My Love.

Did you take a look over the letters that Father gave you?"" Hm? Now that you mention it, no... I haven't. I was a bit too absorbed with the letters. I guess I can look at it before starting on some of these letters... It's a shame that I gave Emily a day off today, we could've really used some extra manpower. I guess we should only go until dinner? Does that sound good?"" It sounds great!" Sarah and Anna both pulled up a seat to my desk and grabbed some of the letters from the maybe and possible piles.

The not happening piles would be thrown into a fire later tonight. I figured that would be the best use of them after all. Before long, they were both scribbling words down on blank sheets of paper. While they were doing that, I took a look at my letters. It was as expected, Cynthia, Asha and Sharon had given me a few letters each. As I was going through them, counting how many letters each had written, I was shocked to see something unexpected among the pile of letters." Official Document?"" What was that?"

Anna lifted her face to me. She heard the words I read aloud from the front of the paper. Sarah quickly perked up as well." It's an Official Document. But wouldn't Warrick have mentioned it was for me? I guess I should open it and take a look?" Both Sarah and Anna agreed with me. Technically, you're not supposed to do this, but screw it. Why not give it a look. I opened it to find something horrifying.

"..."" What is it, My Love? You look displeased."" It's addressed to me. I was hoping it wasn't."" Well, what does it say, Darling?" I read aloud the document to Sarah and Anna and I was deeply unhappy with the request I was just given." They want you to work as a host during the Summit!? Are they insane!?"" Sarah, you're talking about your own Father, you know?"" Which is even more reason why I need to question him! Why would he put John in a position like that!?"

Sarah was pissed, Anna as well, but she was hiding it a bit better. To answer her question, I continued to read." Based on your performance as a middleman during the meeting between us and the Nyx Family, we decided you'd probably do a good job as a host. It also makes sense, since we'd be near Paradise. You can turn this request down if you'd like. But I will mention that I asked the Nyx Family about this and they were quite ecstatic to hear that you'd be able to do it."" Is he kidding!?

How do you ask him something like that!?" Now Anna also yelled, they yelled because they already knew my answer to a request from Warrick." Dammit, Warrick!" In short... I was going to do it, because it's Warrick. A thought entered my mind however as I thought about this request...

"Why can't my Married Life be simple?". I thought about that as I signed a letter saying I would do the hosting... What the hell does a host even do? End Of Part 1.
