Why is the cute architect glaring like that to the explorer dude?

@Renan_Walheim because he was hired on spot and guaranteed all his necessities while she's being tested to be hired maybe

Explorer guy should have seen paper before, it's a byproduct of raising silk worms, so he shouldn't get hired if he wasn't observant enough of his own country.

@Waymastah In fairness, while writing a book isn't easy (especially what's essentially an autobiography from memory), it matters less if he fucks up than if she does; collapsing buildings are no joke.

To be fair, they are after 2 very different positions. One could be just in it for the time being until a larger country takes her in like he said. She also needs to prove her designs work, and can be built well enough and strong enough to last a while. Giving her the outer wall job is actually a big deal since it is the kingdoms 1st line of defense. Plus if she does well, her stay could be for many years, potentially forever. Also, there is a gender discrimination. Hiring her on the spot may shake his political standings with the other nobles. Some architects would definitely take great offence to it, making getting a new one if she does not work out, much harder if not impossible.
On the other hand, you have an "author". He has yet to write, so there is not really a method to test his work. However, that may not be needed necessarily. Writers, whether personally good or bad, back when knowledge was best kept on paper, were always useful. Scribes kept official records for centuries. And, if he does manage to make a big seller, it only adds more benefits the country. If he makes a piece of shit, who cares, just toss him out if you must. However, he has another use. He has personal experience traveling the world. That knowledge is valuable. He can describe locations, potential trade networks, aid in cartography, and help determine some cultural differences between groups. If he gets famous from his book, mire people will come to the kingdom to experience it/him in person. And all for the cost of some food, a bed, ink, and some paper.
Basically the girl is a high risk with already a guarenteed negative impact on the relationship with other architects and potentially a few nobles, for only a possible average to great return.
The guy is almost no risk/cost for a potentially massive benefit. Especially when it comes to solidifying your kingdom's position in the worlds history. People would remember it for centuries if this guy succeeded. And he comes with 90% of the task completed. All he has left to do is write it. And it likely would succeed because people would buy it if not only for the entertainment of learning of places they may never see in their lifetime.

Huh. A woman architect, huh? I wonder how big of a minus it would be to employ her, really. Just the fact that he could get a reputation for equal opportunity means talent would flock to him to some degree.
The main question is her competence, which...well, the only way to tell is to try it out and the only way to try it out and putting her to work.
I'm more fascinated by the aspiring author. That was quite the sweet deal, to the point I think he could request more from him. Not that copyright is much of a thing in this world, probably, but the right to copy his work would be nice for one.
And as a modern human, Almus might look at the book and see blank spots, so editorial rights would be helpful too-though not as essential since he can just provide feedback afterwards.
Well, the important thing is that he's definitely going down in history now.

The young explorer would basically be someone like Herodote in the future. As long as he is faithful to his experience and his text are well preserved, he'll be a treasure trove for later Historian.
Not a bad idea to employ him tbh. Could also serves for some propaganda in a short term.

@eng1 pretty sure it’s figurative. He’s the ‘lord of the ash’s territory.’ Although substantially smaller from the main Kingdom, it’s kindve become its own ‘kingdom’ because of how far it is from the capital. It’s like Antrium in the other isekai. It’s on the frontlines, so the people don’t really connect with the royal family.
I think it would’ve been a bigger deal if it was recognized as a country since the rival’s standing would plummet.

@eng1 in the Ancient ages the word "king" or most of other leadership titles all first meant "leader", "chieftain" or "general", implying the importance of military leadership in the old era. Greek basileos or Latin rex had such original meaning. Being a king doesn't mean you can't be a vassal as well, since there are also the title of King of Kings (Shahanshah) or Emperor (Imperator/Basileos/Autocrat/Padishah) that reigns at the supreme. Even in Chinese there were also king title and emperor title as well.

The way he treated the girl doesn't seem very ethical. Alnus wants her to do a job for him, he should hire her. Even if he has to fire her if she's not good at it.
