I won't pick up the trash i threw away again

Chapter-39

The indoor training ground was in the basement.

It had been raining continuously for the past few days, so the air in the basement was damp.

I'll have to tell the servants to ventilate. And do some cleaning again.

After checking that there's nothing else to worry about, I entered the training ground.

Philen was wielding a wooden sword half-naked. Thick drops of sweat dripped down on his hard muscles.

It was somewhat of an obscene scene, but it didn't make me excited. Because it's a scene that I saw often in the past.

So I looked at him calmly, and the same goes for Philen.

He showed me his bare skin and didn't falter in the slightest.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm here because of the problem of the preparation for the rainy season."

I put down the documents I had brought on the table near him and held out the new document he filled out.

"I checked the document you filled out and found that you canceled the wizard's employment and changed the stone used to build the riverbank from Doreseok to Ahnam."

"...so?"

This time, I presented the report on Quan.

"As you can see here, there's Quan in our territory's water vein..."

"Why do you call it 'our territory'?"

"Huh?"

"You're not Leila Williot yet. But why did you call this territory 'our territory'? It's 'my territory'."

What kind of childish pun is this?

As I stared at him without saying anything out of absurdity, Philen put down his wooden sword and approached me.

"Perhaps, you want to be the Lord?"

"What?"

"If not, why are you doing this when I told you not to?"

Philen slammed the document I held out. The papers fell to the floor like snow.

"I'm sure I have told you not to get involved in the duke's work, so why did you meddle as you pleased?"

Philen's face hardened terribly. He also looked like he was hurt.

The servant's words, telling me to be careful because he seemed to be in quite a bad mood, echoed in my ears.

I should have come later.

I felt regret that came too late.

"I couldn't help it if you were talking about what happened in the office at that time. People's lives are in danger if we don't act quickly..."

"Then you shouldn't have stepped up, you should have told me!"

His voice echoed loudly in the indoor training ground that was closed off from all sides.

"That's the rule, you're not going to say you don't know, are you?"

"Of course I know. But sometimes you have to put people first rather than sticking to rules. That was the case back then."

I calmly faced the fierce Philen's gaze and explained it as easily as possible for him to understand.

"As I said, it had to be dealt with as quickly as possible. So, I thought it would be faster to step up than to report to you..."
