A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 335

It was training.

Noblemen, merchants, and city officials continued to visit, but Enkrid no longer cared.

And that was fine.

Kraiss was handling everything in the middle.

He had told him to pull some strings, and Kraiss had certainly done just that.

"I’ve come all this way, and you’re telling me I can’t even meet with a mere city soldier?"

Even when an old and cunning noble visited—

"No, you cannot."

Kraiss answered like a puppet.

Some even resorted to small displays of force.

"They want a fight?"

Frokk Meelun had been assigned as Kraiss’s bodyguard.

There weren’t many who had the guts to provoke her.

It wasn’t the world that was strange—just Enkrid and the people around him.

But Kraiss never acted recklessly or used brute force to drive people away.

"He’s preparing for an important battle."

A convenient excuse.

"This is a matter directly handled by the central authority."

A royal backing thrown into the mix.

That was enough to ward off any petty noble.

As for the merchants, Kraiss didn’t even have to deal with them himself.

"If you have business, take it up with the Lockfried Caravan. They’ve signed an exclusive contract with the lord."

Just pass the problem along.

Leona Lockfried was more than capable.

She could handle any mid-sized trade company on her own.

"Do you think the name Lockfried is so easily disregarded?"

Just invoking the name of the caravan was enough to settle half the issues.

Even when noble-backed trading companies came knocking, it didn’t matter.

All they wanted was access to trade routes through Enkrid’s influence, a chance to increase their profits.

Leona promised them exactly that.

"The trade routes will expand. Our caravan alone can’t handle it all anyway."

Naturally, the merchants who had been trying to win Enkrid’s favor now flocked to Leona instead.

She handpicked the best among them.

Recognizing value and selecting the right opportunities was her specialty.

Watching her work, Kraiss was satisfied.
