Imperial Year 211,

Duchy of Missian, Summerforth Empire.

Following the assassination of the Duke, a succession conflict arose.

His two sons,

Couran Salemakhia and Vasmarque Salemakhia were pitted against each other.

Later,

a civil war, later known as the Missian Succession War, broke out.

A young man born in the border town of Lamberg,

the reincarnated Ars Louvent,

used his Appraisal skill

to discover hidden talents.

He gathered exceptional companions,

aiming to forge the strongest territory.

Facing the Duchy of Seitz, which colluded with the Vasmarque faction,

Ars and his allies successfully negotiated with the Imperial City,

and averted the crisis.

In Ars's first personally-led campaign, the Battle of Samuc County,

and the subsequent Battle of Rolto,

his companions demonstrated their talents.

After forging new bonds, they emerged victorious.

Having defeated Tomas, Vasmarque's right-hand man,

the Couran faction finally captured Verzud.

For this achievement,

Ars was promoted to County Chief of Canarre.

(Episode 25: County Chief) We're recruiting talent!

(Episode 25: County Chief) Lord Ars is seeking brave people

to protect Canarre together,

regardless of status or gender.

Anyone who believes they're competent, step forward!

(Arcantez Castle) I see.

(Arcantez Castle) They've already reached there.

Lord Couran's forces should soon arrive here at Arcantez.

He defeated Tomas.

Your older brother is a competent man.

(Vasmarque Salemakhia) He's always excelled only in fighting.

I'll analyze his battle strength.

Send a rider.

Take a fast horse that can traverse mountain passes.

(Canarre Castle) We salute the County Chief of Canarre,

(Canarre Castle) Lord Ars Louvent.

Having been appointed County Chief of Canarre,

I left Lamberg and moved to Canarre.

(New Lord) Hey, don't run around.

Can I have this room?

Sorry, first come, first served.

This room is mine!

So spacious!

This bed is mine!

That's unfair!

I'll take this one.

I'm not leaving.

Good timing.

Then I'll be in your care.

This… this is terrible.

A wine cellar!

Amazing!

It's so different from Lamberg's mansion.

It's so huge, like a maze.

Ars, this is really tasty.

Where did you get that?

Those kids from the orphanage opened a bakery.

They're all doing well.

They've grown a lot since we last saw them.

Oh, those kids.

Mr. Rietz,

could you call everyone over?

I have something to say.

What's with the formal tone?

I want to ask one of you to be the Lord of Lamberg.

Lord Ars, someone needs to take the position

and govern Lamberg,

since you will be based in Canarre?

So who will you pick?

I can't do it.

I'd like to ask Miss Mireille to be the new Lord.

Me?

You're well-versed in both military and political issues.

I think you're perfect for it.

It's gotta be Big Sis.

A female acting Lord is so impressive.

I prefer the relaxed life of now.

I think it's a good idea.

I don't really get it, but isn't it good?

Are you sure about this?

Judging from her lifestyle,

I honestly can't see her replacing Lord Ars.

It'll be fine.

No matter what, she'll work hard.

She has a good relationship with the people.

She's helped me many times in this campaign as well.

I think I can safely entrust it to Miss Mireille.

Can I count on you?

If you have such high expectations of me, I suppose I must accept it.

Alright, it's settled.

Is this really okay?

Then let's start handing over the work immediately.

Sorry, Young Master,

but could you wait for my reply?

It won't take long.

I understand.

This meeting is concluded.

Everyone,

to make Canarre an even better territory,

please continue to assist me from now on.

- Yes. - Yes.

Let's head to training.

I wonder what other wines are in the cellars.

By the way,

how are the two we recently hired?

Well…

Sorry, I quit.

After becoming County Chief of Canarre,

I recruited new talent and hired two people.

One of them is this person,

Zat Brozd.

(Zat Brozd, 31-year-old male,) He was once a bounty hunter and mercenary,

(Zat Brozd, 31-year-old male,) He was once a bounty hunter and mercenary, (Fighter A, Cavalier C, Archer C) whose experience spans the Summerforth Empire.

(Fighter A, Cavalier C, Archer C) whose experience spans the Summerforth Empire.

(Mariner D, Pilot D, Tactician C) A highly capable man.

His Prowess,

Intellect,

and Diplomacy are all quite high.

Why?

Is it that you don't want to be assigned as vice-captain of the elite squad?

No, I'm grateful that you have appointed me.

- But… - Hey, Zat.

Let the captain here spar with you.

Alright?

I've been on the battlefield since I was ten.

Twenty years have passed.

I came to Canarre to make a name for myself.

I didn't think I'd serve under such an idiot.

I just can't stand it.

What? Where's the idiot?

Anyway, I'm quitting.

Wait… Could you reconsider?

We need your strength, Mr. Zat.

Then, Mr. Rietz,

please let me serve under you.

I'd at least prefer someone I can communicate with.

But I'm not a captain…

I shouldn't have come here after all.

Zat.

Here, this is your wooden sword.

Let's spar.

Didn't you hear what I said?

Um…

Why don't you spar with Mr. Braham?

If you can defeat the captain,

we'll have to reconsider the command structure.

Fine.

As if I'd lose to a fool like him.

I'll show you the difference experience makes.

I win.

What's with this guy?

He's strong.

He learned from Mr. Rietz,

but Mr. Braham became incredibly strong in just a few months.

Like you, he's also indispensable to us.

Even though your personalities may clash,

if you work well together, you'd make a great team.

Mr. Zat,

would you assist Mr. Braham as vice-captain?

Alright, I'll be vice-captain.

I'm so happy!

Looking forward to working with you.

Thanks.

Why did you pair him with Braham?

Mr. Braham's potential for leadership

(Command, Intellect, Prowess, Diplomacy, Ambition) even surpasses yours.

(Cavalier A, Archer B, Engineer C) The challenge is

(Armorer D, Pilot D, Tactician D) how to bring it out.

That's where Mr. Zat comes in.

With the clever and experienced Mr. Zat to assist him,

he might one day become a great general.

That's if he can earn recognition.

That's true.

Lord Ars,

I…

Miss Musha, are you alright?

I'm sorry!

She's the other new hire,

Musha Trick.

(Musha Trick, 16-year-old female) A girl from a village on the outskirts of Canarre.

(Command, Ambition, Prowess, Intellect, Diplomacy) She came to interview for a clerical position.

But she has

(Mage A) outstanding talent.

Hey, you're up next.

Yes…

Are you okay?

Aim at the target,

and chant the spell.

Huh? What's the spell again?

Horma…

I can't… I…

Hey, calm down.

M-Miss Charlotte.

Listen.

If you're nervous, don't look at the target.

You can even close your eyes.

Just focus first.

Try doing what I said.

Horma…

Igni…

Irapt!

Such strong power!

Amazing!

No wonder our boss picked her.

Oh my.

This won't do.

When Miss Charlotte first used magic,

I was deeply moved.

Now I feel the same way.

Given her personality, it might be difficult to adapt to battles.

But if she overcomes it, her partnership with Miss Charlotte

might become the strongest magic unit in Duchy of Missian.

With so many capable people around,

Canarre will certainly become even stronger.

(Managing Canarre) Lord Ars.

Are you working?

Sorry, let me help.

I'm just looking over the handover documents.

Lord Lumeire and Lord Menas

have recorded Canarre's data in great detail.

After all, the scale here is much larger.

Lamberg doesn't even compare.

With these documents, budgeting will be much easier.

Regarding our future territorial management,

it's better to inform Father and Lord Krall soon.

Indeed.

She's as reliable as ever.

By the way,

there's a letter for you from Lamberg.

From Head Maid Miss Ann?

Lord Ars,

I'm truly sorry to send this kind of letter,

just as you've moved to Canarre.

But if this state continues, Butler Krantz will collapse.

Lord Ars, you have decided to provide support

and invited Shin Seimallo from Lamberg.

Lord Shin, what happened?

The warehouse…

I messed up again.

But don't worry, it'll work out next time.

When is "next time"?

- Mr. Shin's research expenses - That's enough!

- have left the Louvent family struggling to make ends meet. - I won't give you another copper!

- Krantz, who manages the finances, - I won't give you another copper!

- is driven to anger every day - You don't just

- and chases after Mr. Shin. - burn through cash,

- It's worrying - you even burned down the warehouse!

- he might have a stroke. - It's a serious blow to the Louvent family's finances.

Also, Mr. Shin submitted a report summarizing his research results.

I've enclosed it with this letter.

Although Krantz is always complaining,

now we have an automatic water pump.

For someone like me with little strength, it's been a huge help.

Is this a ship?

Let's approve extra budget.

If Mr. Krantz collapses,

the Louvent family won't be able to hold on.

Do you really think Shin can build an airship?

Challenges always come with failure.

But I believe the techniques gained from failure

will make our lives more convenient in the future.

Besides, Mr. Shin is a good person.

You haven't changed at all.

R-Really?

I've grown a little taller though.

I know that.

How do you know?

Did you measure me?

It's a secret.

A secret?

(As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Season 3)

(As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Season 3)

Ars, I brought your meal.

The documents on street repairs are compiled.

Please sign.

The merchants' guild sent some documents.

I've summarized the key points.

Please check them.

Okay…

Are you alright?

Miss Charlotte.

I brought your meal.

Thanks for the meal.

Hey, you're way too busy.

How about taking a short break?

No, I have two excellent helpers.

I'm fine.

But it's worrying seeing how you've been lately.

You're worried about me?

N-No, I didn't mean it like that.

Mr. Rietz, how's that plan going?

It's progressing.

The documents and materials are all in place.

What plan are you talking about?

Miss Charlotte,

would you like to take a walk around the city with me?

Still as lively as ever.

So many people, and such an abundance of goods.

It's truly a big city.

However,

Canarre's gap between rich and poor was always greater than Lamberg's.

The number of poor people has increased.

Why?

It's not because Lord Lumeire ruled poorly.

It's because of the war.

But we won, didn't we?

Why is there more poverty?

Because people were conscripted for the war.

That led to a shortage of hands for farming.

Farmers who couldn't maintain their fields sold off their land,

becoming landless tenant farmers.

Those with reduced income who can't even pay taxes

flock to Canarre looking for work.

Those who can't find work end up homeless.

After carefully examining past records,

we discovered this situation.

If this continues, tax revenue will decline,

and the widening gap will disrupt public order.

Even if we won the war, we can't go on like this.

Therefore, I believe we must take bold measures.

First, for ordinary citizens,

we'll greatly reduce taxes in daily life.

Then, we'll grant land to the poor.

They'll farm during peacetime and serve as soldiers in wartime.

Although annual revenue will decrease in the short term,

once productivity improves,

future revenue will increase,

and it will also provide new sources of soldiers.

I see.

Miss Charlotte, what do you fight for?

For you, and the kids at the orphanage, I guess.

That's right.

We're able to keep going because we have something to protect.

If people can have their own land

and live respectable lives like ordinary persons,

I believe the people here

will be more motivated to work hard.

When I first came to Canarre,

I resolved to create a territory where even the disadvantaged can live well.

But I had no idea

how to achieve it.

Now that I hold this position, I understand.

I want to turn this land of Canarre

into a place people love.

I believe that if it's worth loving,

people will become strong,

the land will become bountiful,

and this will become a town where people can live better lives.

That's amazing.

Making people happy is a good thing.

That's a great plan!

I'm certainly busier than before.

But when I think I'm getting closer to my dream,

I feel excited.

Sorry for making you worry.

But I want to do my best now.

Geez, you're so stubborn once you decide.

I'll support you.

But,

let's at least eat together at mealtime.

You're right.

(Canarre Castle)

Sorry for taking so long, Young Master.

I thought it over after that.

Someone has to do it.

And I'm probably the only one who can.

Say, Young Master,

what kind of person should a leader be?

Be strong,

charismatic,

or a master strategist?

Even though you aren't any of those,

I think you're destined to be a leader.

What do you think?

Someone we can trust, I guess.

I believe no matter who we choose as lord,

they'd do a great job.

Honestly, if you stayed with us,

we'd never go astray.

But that's exactly why

I want to entrust you with the most important Lamberg.

I see.

I should become that kind of person too.

Rosell, are you there?

What, do you like me that much?

Because if you're going to Lamberg,

we'll be apart, Master.

There's still so much I want to learn from you.

So…

I believe you.

Didn't you beat my battle plan last time?

Even if I'm not by your side,

you will still grow.

I'll become a tactician so clever and formidable

that even you will be amazed, Master.

I'll do my best to serve Lord Ars.

So…

Master, you must also work hard as acting lord.

I will.

I'll make Lamberg prosper.

Lord Ars,

does leaving Lamberg make you feel lonely?

Not really.

Because I've always felt

that everyone from Lamberg is right here with me.

I'll protect you in Mireille's stead.

Okay, thank you.

Come to think of it, led by Mr. Rietz,

I have many vassals supporting me.

Everyone is an expert in their own field,

and they keep growing.

The vassals of the Louvent family are truly incredible.

I have to do my best too.

Lord Ars!

What is it?

Our Lord Krall commanded me to deliver this.

Lord Ars?

The Duchy of Seitz is leading an army of 80,000 to attack Canarre.

Alright, let's discuss

the arrangements after we've taken Canarre.

By the way, Rosell, did you pick a room?

I found a huge and wonderful room.

So, it's my room too?

Don't do that!
