Chapter 733 Summon from the church
?"Knock, knock."
When the sun rose, that was the first thing that we heard which woke us up.
This knocking came for the door to our room and it seemed like whoever was trying to see us was quite urgent about it.
But all four of us were tired after what had happened last night.
The cosplay really had ignited the flames in my soul and I hadn't been able to stop myself as I completely ravaged the three of them.
I had been quite pent up after all since it had been a while since I had been home.
Even though Cecilia had been with me the entire time, we had never done it since she was on guard duty.
She was someone that took her duty very seriously, so she never came to my room alone in the middle of the night. She had always been on guard for if anything happened to me, so she couldn't afford to be distracted like that.
Which was why I had been pent up all this time.
But that was all released last night, so I was feeling very refreshed and tired right now.
Which was why it was much worse to hear this knocking so early in the morning.
It didn't take long for this knocking to wake up the girls around me who were just as tired as me, but Rose had all of us get up since she knew that the only reason that they would be here this early was if there was something important.
It turned out that it was the maids who were knocking on the door.
They just completely ignored me and Cecilia as they went to Rose and Haley.
As I listened to their conversation, I learned that there were many things that happened while I was gone.
The economic zone plan had proceeded while I was gone and it seemed like it was going quite well.
So well that it seemed like there were requests from other places to copy this plan.
So it turned out that this was what they had been working on while I was gone.
While I was a bit surprised they didn't tell me anything, I knew that there was no reason for them to tell me anything.
I left everything in the territory to Rose and she had Haley helping her with anything that involved the economy of our territory. So they were more than enough to handle this without any interference from me.
I trusted Rose enough that she could represent me in all matters related to this.
But the problem was that I couldn't do anything to help them.
Because of how excellent the two of them were, there wasn't really anything that I could do to help them even if I wanted to.
So all I could do was awkwardly listen on the side.
Beside me was Cecilia who had somehow fallen asleep because of the talks that were happening in front of us. It wasn't that she was just tired, she just wasn't suited to things like this in the first place.
While this was happening, I was surprised to find that there was a butler that came over to me.
I had to look at him with a questioning gaze as if I was making sure that he wanted to talk to me, but when he gave a nod in response, I asked, "What's wrong?"
The butler bowed to me before saying, "My lord, the priest at the church is asking for your presence today."
I was surprised to hear this, but I gave a nod in response to show that I understood.
I was certainly surprised to hear that the priest was asking to see me.
After all, I was the one that had blown off our engagement before.
It wasn't my fault since I had been summoned to the capital, but I did feel guilty because of it.
But what I was surprised by was the fact that he was summoning the day after I came back.
I didn't think that there was anything urgent that the priest had to talk to me about, so I couldn't think of why he would summon me so soon.
Still, I had no reason not to go see him.
I could apologize for blowing him off and see what he needed me for.
I left everything here to Rose and Haley, while also leaving Cecilia in bed.
Since I was in my own town, there was no need for me to be followed by any guards. It should be safe enough here that I could walk around on my own.
Though to be fair, there were still guards that came with me.
I just didn't know about them since they were hidden guards that Rose had assigned to me.
As I walked through the town, I was amazed by how prosperous it had become.
There were people all around even though it was early in the morning. They all looked lively and busy, as if there were plenty of things for them to do.
At the same time, I could see all the various products that they brought out.
These were products that I had never seen in our town before since these were considered rare products that weren't produced here. Yet here they were being handled by these regular people.
I was of course recognized and many people offered me free things, but I had to turn them down since I couldn't hold these things in the first place.
When I arrived at the church, that was when it became much more quiet.
Unlike the town that was filled with people, it seemed like the church was less crowded.
Though that wasn't strange since it wasn't the weekend, so it wasn't as if people had the free time to come to the church.
When I arrived, I found that the priest was there at the door waiting for me.
Seeing me, he said, "My lord you're here."
