How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 552. An unwelcome sign (4)

“Huh? If it's burdensome, you don't have to force yourself to set a date... …

“Tell me how many times. I'm going to make sure that this is done.”

I definitely nailed Asha who said something disrespectful.

In fact, it is said that there is no enganhaeseon in the case of bringing up the ceremony one by one.

It's usually normal to implicitly acknowledge and move on without knowing it.

It also differs from person to person.

No, it's a very bittersweet story.

“What is usually overlooked in the first place is, realistically speaking, a matter of money.”

The ceremony itself is quite expensive.

Of course, you can't take care of it every time you have a concubine.

but what about us

What remains is money.

“And there is also the issue of sex. Even if you say it's okay, I won't let you go.”

“… … Mr. Arell.”

Asha sent a slightly moist gaze somewhere.

Yes, it's a matter of gender.

At least if you committed it, take responsibility for sure.

that's my theory

So, even after that, if you welcome someone as an additional family member, you will never be neglected.

“The problem is that the timing

is really ambiguous.

“That is it too. There are a lot of overlapping things.”

Like the Kingdom's founding anniversary, it was not appropriate to set a date as all the nobles these days were sending invitations to each other.

“Besides, in our case, it’s tripled.”

“… … ah.”

I deliberately kept my mouth shut.

It did. It's not just one person taking it.

Rather, is that a joke, Mr. Asha?

Seeing what he said and how embarrassed he looked, it seemed like he was joking.

“Three times… …

me but really... … You're the one who doesn't have any countermeasures. It's a person named Arell Ernesia.

I respect you.

“Above all, they don’t seem to care about each other.”

“both. In a way, it is bold.”

Dia said, ‘Why don't we do it in the mage tower instead?' he asked.

After hearing it, it doesn't sound bad, so I'm seriously reviewing it.

“Last time Seina was like that, right?

‘ceremony? Wouldn’t it be better to just leave physical evidence?” … What are you going to do with physical evidence?”

“I don’t know.”

Those who ask me... … .

I don't know. I don't remember.

I don't remember.

“Sometimes I think Seina is wilder than me.”

“Isn’t it the difference between births?”

Anyway, that's why only Asha is discussing the current date.

Asha seems to be in a strange mood as the other two, who are busy with their own work, have to calculate it as well.

“Last time, you said it wouldn’t matter if we did it all at once, right?”

“… … Do you think I'll die by Pena's hand?”

Even though Pena pretends to be okay, she seems to care.

Well, that's not natural.

But let me do such rubbish. what will happen

“I'm just saying that because you're both shy.”

“Is it like that?”

In the case of the two, it seems that they are almost indistinguishable.

There is also a difference in perception.

And you'll be taking some time off.

“Can you talk slowly? ruler. I won't be in a hurry... … It seems like this year has already passed.”

“. Ahahahahaha.”

Asha smiled bitterly.

Even if you seem to understand, the feeling of regret is subtly buried.

First of all, we decided to talk about the realistic story later, and we decided to go in after spending some time around here.

If I go back, I feel like something bothersome will welcome me.

Where are you going to stay like this and come back?

In the first place, this story also came out after going out.

‘By the way, it's Felsen Kingdom.'

I remembered the story with Keigin a while ago.

Did you think it was possible, but did you reach out your hand from there?

Seeing as there are no signs on the side of the port where our ship is docking, it seems that they managed to avoid it well.

‘What does it mean to touch the upper house first?

I tried to think of the answer without expressing it outwardly.

‘Should I gather some information there first?'

When it comes to other countries, my eyes do not reach.

Unless there is a big change, political changes or conflicts are relatively invisible.

And when you think about it.

[Arel-nim.]

I heard Dia's voice from above.

Incidentally, Asha must have heard it too, and she also made a surprised face.

“d. ah?”

[I'm sorry to Asha, but I think you'll have to come back.]

“Dia'?!”

When I deliberately teased her, Asha just opened her mouth and said nothing.

“… … So what? Is it urgent?”

Unless it was extremely urgent, Dia wouldn't call me first.

There, Dia wouldn't be in the castle today.

[It seems that you are urgently looking for it in the castle. Since Arell-nim is not in the castle, I even asked for an inquiry.]

At this time, it is time for Dia to go to the Mage Tower.

It's pretty urgent.

Then of course!

“… … not.”

no go!

I was about to say that, but I stopped my lips when I heard what Dia said next.

[It is said that people with strange claims sent statements.]

“… … who? No, where did you come from?”

I had a strange feeling.

[…] … It seems to have come from a place that claims to be the Principality of the Caduceus.]

After hearing that, I changed the plan in my head.

“Tell me you’re leaving now.”

I'm sorry for them, but I have a hunch that it's going to be really late.

* * *

“Warlocks, dragons, strange things… … Something just keeps appearing.”

Jeil hyung-nim brought this out in the first words.

I understand.

Because something keeps happening only when he is king.

… … If I have to ask, it's not my brother's fault.

What would the seller do with something like that?

Even if I were in the same position as him, I believe that similar complaints would have popped out.

“hmm… … Did the place where the letter came from call itself the Principality of Caduceus?”

I asked as if I was hearing it for the first time.

The reason why the best hyung called me.

It is because of some people who suddenly revealed their presence.

To be precise, a place called a principality.

“What did they say?”

“It seems there was no other story. In the first place, their existence itself is questionable. I've never heard of the Principality of Caduceus.”

The elder brother frowned and glanced at the maid.

The lady-in-waiting left an invitation on the table and went out without a sound.

“Is this an invitation?”

“It came via the Felsen Kingdom.

I heard that a person sent from that principality wants to hold a meeting with envoys from each country.”

“Suspicious.”

I just put the blood on my face and spit out my impressions.

‘. Did you install it in a foreign country after all?'

It looks like they'll stop hiding now and make their presence known out in the world.

By the way, it's a talk.

“Did other countries tolerate that?”

“It’s that kind of atmosphere.”

It seemed that other countries were already treating and treating them as a decent force.

Are you actually trying to treat it as one country?

It smells somewhat salty and chin.

“You manage to trust such people in other countries.”

“I wonder if it’s not necessarily like that.”

“Yes?”

“Looking at the report from the spy, it seems that they have won the favor of foreign nobles with various gifts.”

“gift?”

“Didn’t you know that the merchants in the Kingdom of Ernesia have been sluggish in business with other countries lately?”

“… … Then you have a clue. Shinheung Trading Co., which was invested by the Felsen Kingdom, was a bit aggressive.”

Even so, I discussed it a little while ago.

“According to rumors, the aristocrats who have joined hands with the company’s investors seem to be receiving enormous support from someone anonymously.”

“You mean food or other resources?”

“It looks like that. Not to mention, there is no need to deal with other places after that.”

It's amazing.”

“I don’t know how that is possible, but they say it is.”

Normally I would say it makes no sense, but I kept quiet.

If it were them, it would be possible, so there was no choice but to regard it that way.

Does it mean that you have already suffered as you deserve to be appeased?

“What do you think will come out of the meeting?”

I sneakily asked my brother.

I'm not asking because I don't have the talent to think that far.

It's because I want to hear opinions from the perspective of someone who really knows nothing but me.

“… … Hmm, I can’t guess.”

No, that's not the answer.

Aren't you still the king?

“But I don’t think there will be a right answer. Arel, isn’t it strange?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Why don't they contact the nobles in the kingdom?”

It seems that they actively appeased all foreign countries, but they did not reach out to us at all.

It's definitely worth feeling uncomfortable.

‘… … It's probably because of me.'

Because I blocked them all beforehand.

Neither the Merman Empire nor Kellya deliberately touched it to avoid my eyes.

Everything else seems to have been touched.

“Then what about this invitation'?”

It doesn't matter if you just pretend you didn't see it.

It is an invitation that came through a foreign country.

“I intend to check. It's too nerve-wracking to ignore.”

“… … Who are you planning to send?”

Someone has to send a noble worthy to represent the kingdom.

But without being appeased by them.

A person worth digging into to some extent.

Who is it?

Suddenly, my older brother looks at me blankly.

… … ahh? Are you embarrassed?

no, brother? state of conscience?

I sighed and nodded.

“All right. Let me go myself.”

That's what I was thinking anyway.

If he wanted to send someone else, he was going to intervene by discouraging him.

“As the representative of the Kingdom of Ernesia, I will check on them and come back.”

When I said it firmly, my older brother also nodded firmly and asked for it.

“Leave it to me, Arell.”

Now is not the time to solemnly say, ‘Leave it to me, Arell!'...

I understand his intentions.

It must be a calculation that it is safer to deal with it through me rather than an aristocrat who doesn't know what's inside.

But I don't know why I don't think I'll be more black inside.

“… … For now, we will try to do as much as we can.”

I just laugh bitterly and say this.

It's an ordinary conversation anyway.

I don't think there's much you can do.

Still, you have to do as much as you can.

‘Should I make a mana bomb or take it?'

Just kidding. I'm not a terrorist, so there's no way I'd do something like that.

… … Even if you don't know the screen.

In any case, as long as there is not much else to do, I plan to finish it with my mouth in a fair and square way befitting the meeting place.
