And also, ambition.

I possess the appraisal skill
to discern others' talent and its value.

My father, Raven, told me

that unearthing others' talents

is an important skill for a lord,

especially for survival
in the upcoming chaotic times.

(Lamberg, Louvent's Mansion)

(Episode 2 Upper and Lower)
Rietz, I'm sorry

(Episode 2 Upper and Lower)
to ask you to do this.

(Rietz Muses)
No worries.

(Rietz Muses)
After all, you cook me lots of tasty meals.

Several months have passed
since Mr. Rietz began working on my house.

He is currently not
taking part in the war,

but he remains by my side.

His Intellect has skyrocketed

since he started studying.

At this point in time, he is the most

intelligent member of the Louvent family.

(Intellect 89)

People at home and in the territory

quickly accepted Mr. Rietz

once they knew more about him.

Rietz is really great.

He's both athletic and book-smart
and has a good memory too.

I'm so happy to
have such a talented person.

He's a bit handsome too.

And now…

Lord Ars, shall we study again today?

Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

Our last lecture covered

the activities of the Summerforth Empire,

which aimed to unite
the seven original nations

that made up Summerforth,

remember?

Yes.

The Ansel, which is geographically
isolated from the rest by a strait,

engages in commerce
with nations outside the Summerforth

in order to gain the power

to invade the other kingdom.

Following Ansel's conquest of all nations,

King Anathis Bydoras of Ansel claimed

to be the emperor,

and the nation was renamed
the Summerforth Empire.

This was 203 years ago.

So far, I've studied this and know that.

But the current Summerforth Empire

is in a state of decline.

The current emperor,

Bydoras XII, is only eight years old,

so his vassal holds the real power.

The government is completely corrupt.

The empire is unable to
govern the country effectively.

There are frequent revolts
all over the country.

As a result, the dukes of each duchy
have begun to ignore the empire

and strengthen their autonomy.

Current warfare may not be intense,

but the fact that Father is still
compelled to fight indicates

that there will undoubtedly be
a more severe conflict down the road.

So, I must use my abilities
to gather outstanding talents

and prepare for the upcoming battle.

Honestly, I do not want war to happen.

If there is a big war
in the future, Mr. Rietz,

where do you think it will begin?

It's probably in our Duchy of Missian.

The current duke of Duchy of Missian,

Lord Amador Salemakhia,

is very old and sick

and is likely to die soon.

Lord Amador has two sons.

Normally the eldest son
should succeed him,

but the younger son
seems to be more capable,

so he's likely worried over

which one should take over the family.

If he dies before deciding,

there will undoubtedly be a war.

Even if he decides,

the probability of a war is not low,

since both sons seem to
want to be the head of the family.

That can't be.

If that happens,

who would Father follow?

He seems to think
that it is more reasonable

for the eldest son to succeed.

Though it's not Lord Raven

who decides which one to follow.

I see.

My father isn't a vassal that reports
directly to the duke of Duchy of Missian.

Each duchy is divided into counties.

(Lamberg, County of Canarre, Duchy of Missian)
The Lamberg is located in Canarre.

(Lamberg, County of Canarre, Duchy of Missian)
My father is a vassal of the Canarre head.

(Lamberg, County of Canarre, Duchy of Missian)
My appraisal skill seems to be useful

(Lamberg, County of Canarre, Duchy of Missian)
in deciding who to side with…

It's like a Japanese address.

Summerforth Empire, Duchy Of Missian,
County of Canarre, Lamberg.

But I'm worried.

My father is still alive,

but I'm still only a kid.

The only person I've scouted is Mr. Rietz.

If Father got caught up in this minority…

But there's a chance the opposite happens.

If you play an active role
in a big battle,

a lord can advance in rank.

I see.

For that reason,
let's continue to increase our strength.

It'll be okay, I'll be there with you.

I will be sure to protect you, Lord Ars.

Mr. Rietz…

Thank you.

For that, capable people
should be our main concern.

Lord Ars, can you help me?

Sure.

Let's hurry
and go search for talented people again!

Understood,

I'll accompany you!

Father…

(Raven Louvent)
He has been spending more time
practicing swordsmanship recently.

Does he know that a war will occur?

Ars, are you going into town again today?

Yes, I am going to look
for outstanding talent.

I see.

Actually, I wanted you to find
someone who is good with magic.

Magic?

Right.

Magic will be important in future battles.

I am not very good at magic.

Many vassals have magical abilities,

but none of them are very good.

To be sure, there may come a time
when the Mage capable of

changing the course of a war is required.

Magic…

I cast it once
because my father told me to.

I wore a strange tool
with a ball of red liquid.

And then I recited a short incantation.

Horma Igni Irapt!

He did not allow me
to cast magic after that.

Perhaps I really have no talent for magic.

I'm counting on you.

Okay.

As expected of Mr. Rietz!

You're also great at handling a horse!

If we acquire Mage,
our strength will increase even further.

Yes, indeed.

That's right.

If I acquire Mage,
our strength will increase even further.

For the future of
the Louvent Family and Lamberg,

I'm going to look for talented people.

(Fortified City, Canarre)

S-So many people.

It seems that 50,000 people live here.

50,000? That is 50 times
more than Lamberg.

It is an important town in County of Canarre.

That is Canarre Castle, which is home
to the Pailes family, the county chief.

Such a grand castle.

A lot of people here are quite wealthy.

Someday, I want the people
of Lamberg to live like this.

There are so many people here.

We're sure to find someone good.

Let's do our best.

Okay.

Appraisal.

(Command 55, Diplomacy 31
Archer D, Intellect 49)

(Fighter D, Diplomacy 14)

(Mage D, Intellect 10
Engineer D, Mariner D)

(Engineer D, Mariner D, Ambition 19)

Still can't find outstanding talents?

Yeah.

Ability values are divided into
numbers and competency.

(Millais Cristal, 21 Years Old, Male)
And each person's ability seems to be the result

(Archer B)
of multiplying numbers and competency.

(Tactician D, Mage D)
That is, regardless of how high the number is,

(Archer D, Fighter D)
without competency, one cannot perform well.

without competency,
one cannot perform well.

Anyway, we have only
just begun our search.

Don't worry, let's take our time to find.

You're right.

There's a market up ahead.

There should be a lot
of people gathering there.

Lord Ars?

What's wrong?

If there are rich people,
there're also people like this.

The more prosperous, the bigger
the gap is between the rich and the poor.

But…

I know what you want to say.

I was saved by you as well.

So it's painful to say such a thing

from this standpoint.

But we can't do anything as we are now.

You're right.

I'm not able to help these people
with my current power.

Earlier, I saw the lively main street

and thought it was a wonderful city.

But

I don't think it will truly be a good city

until people like this can live properly.

I want to make a place like that.

And it may be a naive idea.

Within these people too,

I believe there exists talent.

Lord Ars.

From the bottom of my heart,

I really am proud that I can serve you.

What's gotten into you so suddenly?

I should be the one thanking you.

Not at all, I sincerely think so.

This is the largest market in Canarre.

There's so much delicious food!

Boy!

Do you want a pet dragon?

This is a real dragon egg imported
from the Northern Continent.

Dragon egg?

Are there dragons in this world?

Moreover, as a pet?

I-I want it!

This is a very rare egg.

I'll give you a special discount.

Just one silver coin.

How about it?

Three! Please give me three!

How dare you peddle fakes to this noble?

Do you have any idea what you're doing?

Wait, Mr. Rietz?

You! What are you doing?

Listen carefully!

This place has suspended trade with
the Northern Continent since last year.

So if this item was imported,
then it was smuggled.

And dragon eggs won't hatch
unless they're kept at a high temperature.

These patterned spots
are also darker than usual.

And this size is different
from those seen in picture books.

Also,

no store could possibly acquire
that many rare dragon eggs.

It's just a giant lizard egg
from the Ansel region.

I-It's not…

Shut up.

Such an insult to Lord Ars…

Deserves death ten thousand times over.

This guy is bad news!

Alright! I won't buy it.

So please stop!

I didn't know, it's my fault!

I am very sorry.

I lost my mind inadvertently.

I accept whatever punishment it is.

No! You helped me, so thank you.

Will this happen every time I'm tricked?

If I don't become more knowledgeable,

there could be deaths.

We should continue looking.

Yes.

I should study harder.

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

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

Lord Ars, please eat slowly.

There are sweets too!

Please give me one.

Lord Ars.

That startled me. He must be in a hurry.

Your pouch has been stolen.

Wh-What do we do, Mr. Rietz?

I'll catch on to him quickly,
so please hold on for a bit longer.

So fast.

What's going on?

This scumbag has
the gall to attempt to flee.

You've got quite the nerve.

You are always causing me trouble.

Stop!

What?

Suddenly hitting such a girl,
that's too cruel.

Who is this kid?

Keep your filthy hands off Lord Ars.

Bastard, what did you say?

That takes care of that.

As expected of Mr. Rietz.

Damn it.

Wait and see.

Are you alright?

(Mage S)

Magic Level S!

Besides,

Command of 92

and Prowess of 116!

(Charlotte Lace, 11-year-old, Female)
Such astonishing numbers!

(Charlotte Lace, 11-year-old, Female)
Even though she's still growing up,

(Charlotte Lace, 11-year-old, Female)
her prowess is almost equal to Father's.

Even though she has high prowess,

(Mage S)
her aptitudes are all D.

So she's probably not strong in combat
other than magical.

But that means her magic power

is overwhelmingly powerful.

You

quickly return Lord Ars's pouch.

Excuse me, would you like to
become one of my vassals?

L-Lord Ars?

What are you talking about?

She's a thief.

Mr. Rietz.

Her magical talent is amazing!

No one even comes close!

You've gotta be joking.

Being the vassal of a kid like you,
I'd rather die.

Why?

Anyway, I just don't want to.

You have amazing magical talent,

won't you lend me your power?

Magic? I've never used it.

It's okay, I can tell that you're strong.

Also…

You steal pouches because you have
a really difficult life, right?

If you become a vassal,

you can receive a salary and eat well.

You could live a better life now.

So you should…

That's a nobleman's opinion.

You nobles, why are
you always looking down on us?

You take it for granted
that you're privileged

and live in luxury.

But have you ever done anything great?

It's just that you were born into it all.

All while you just look down on us.

I refuse to become a tool
to protect your luxurious life.

I'm not like that!

Someday, I want to create a city

where people like you can live
with peace of mind.

For that reason, I want you to help me!

Someday?

When is someday?

Boy, you'll never know because you

have always lived a good life.

We can only stand
the awful heat in the alleys

and the cold all over.

We do not know what we will eat tomorrow,

so we cannot wait for this "someday."

Become your vassal?

Are you hiring me
to make yourself look good?

Quit making a fool of me.

I won't go along with
your self-satisfaction.

I understand your pain.

Mr. Rietz.

But it isn't good
to steal people's belongings.

Return Lord Ars's pouch.

I suppose you helped me earlier,

I'd rather not be in debt.

Who were those people from earlier?

They are the underlings
of slave merchants.

I was caught sneaking
into a noble's food storage

and was sold to slave merchants.

But I took the chance to escape.

But the stupid goons followed me.

I guess I fetch a pretty high price.

I mean, look at me, I have a good face.

But after trying so hard to escape,

why are you still in this town?

It would be better for you
to run farther away.

I can't do that.

Why not?

Charlotte!

- You guys…
- Where did you go?

You were gone for two days, I was worried.

I was lonely.

I'm hungry, I want something to eat.

Who are these kids?

They are all like me.

Orphans who live in this back alley
without any family.

I can't just

leave them alone.

All right.

I'll give up.

Mr. Rietz, give me the pouch.

Lord Ars.

Please have this.

Are you trying to play the good guy again?

Giving me this…

I'm not going to say thanks.

It's fine.

Weirdo.

Lord Ars…

I can't take her with me.

Lord Ars…

It is very cold here at night,
even in the summer.

Please come inside the room.

Okay.

I was in a situation like hers.

I can empathize with what she said.

This world is not kind
to those of the lower class.

She probably suffered a lot
at the hands of the nobles.

That's why she thinks all nobles are evil.

But Lord Ars, you're different.

I understand that the best.

Somewhere deep down,

I took this privileged
environment for granted.

It's no wonder she was angry at me.

It's true that I want to build a great city.

But all that might just be too carefree.

What she said was right.

Lord Ars…

Charlotte!

- Charlotte!
- They…

Charlotte!

What happened?

You are the one from before…

Charlotte…

Charlotte was caught.

What should we do?

If this continues,
Miss Charlotte will be in danger.

It's fine.

Lord Ars, you'll surely be able to save her.

That's right.

Let's hurry to find Miss Charlotte.

Mr. Rietz.

Yes!
