A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

King Azpur and Williams and four members of the Third Prince's family are having tea after dinner in King Azpur's study.

"You had nothing today.

King Azpar spits out the fatigue of the day with a sigh.

"Yeah, you've made up your mind.

Alma nods.

"Is that it? Sister Alma, what happened to the city compartment?

I've got my plan.

"That's due by the end of the week, so... it's still okay!

What about William?

"The compartment? It's over.

I wonder if it's military affairs now.

"... I've been thinking about it for a long time...

Aren't William and Layla working fast?

"" It's normal. "

William and Layla say with their voices together.

"Hmm. Well, people can't help but take different hours to work.

I have a deadline for that.

If you're protecting it, it won't be a problem.

Everyone snorts at the words of King Azpar.

"And I don't know, because Alice went on a journey, too.

I miss you again in the royal castle.

Leila says as she drinks tea.

"Right.

With that said, I wonder how many Mr. Takeo called in after all.

William also says with his tea on his mouth.

"Two butlers first, right? And then there's three workshops... a few of them? Three if one workshop, six if two?

And then there are two adventurers?

says Alma as he breaks his finger.

"Right.

And then there's Radicotica.

"Hmm? William... I don't think that report had the head count of Radicoccica?

King Azpar says strangely.

"... indeed. But you can't imagine multiple demons listening to this one, can you?

So I made it one... "

"Sure.

But this trip to Takeo is unusual.

Find, buy and subordinate the slave trade that was supposedly not the Katlanda Empire.

Put together three workshops for the manufacturing of weapons to be hidden and relocate them.

And he accompanies a woman who seems to be the third princess.

Don't be unusual... then don't think it's too early to think of the number of demons as one.

"Right.

William, Alma, and Leila nod.

"... William, Alma, Leila.

King Azpar sees Williams and the others with a strange face.

"" "Yes.

"I'm asking you to consider me as a king, not as a father..."

"You're the third princess of the Katlanda Empire, right?

Alma answers with a true face.

"Um... I know the emperor is after something over the country.

Then I think the path that our country should take is to set the conditions that will favor our country in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

"We thought about that, too.

... is that William's side room?

Says Leila with a subtle face.

"Mm-hmm. I can't let a regional nobleman take care of the Crown Princess on a boulder.

If the Katlanda Empire has achieved its purpose, we can keep it as one of William's sons, and if it's in danger, we can send in a third queen girl.

... I want it to be Cliff's or his next generation's handbill.

As far as the King's judgment goes... "

King Azpar tells him with a serious face.

"... Brother Cliff is the next king and those of the Katlanda Empire will not be accepted.

Besides, Brother Neil, I can't accept this because he's going to confront me directly.

Because it's easiest for me to accept that I don't confront the Katlanda Empire and that I have little influence over national politics.

And as His Majesty says, it is powerful enough as a hidden hand card for the future.

William also takes his thoughts seriously.

"But... as William's father, as Alma and Leila's stepfather, I don't think I need to be forced into a side room.

I don't mind if you do as your lords please.

I have an idea just now as a country, but it doesn't make sense for me to be bothered within my family.

It is of the utmost importance that you keep the couple company.

"Don't your father-in-law want a bill?

Alma listens.

"Well... I think it's better to have more bills if you mean it, but even if you force it into a hand, you think that only makes sense.

If you're going to be William's daughter-in-law, you need to be prepared to do what you can for this country.

I have trouble even if they think about the other side forever because she is the Empress of the Katlanda Empire.

I need you to run William's territory first and love the people.

"So, even as Your Majesty, in the compulsory side room?

"I don't give orders.

I just want it to be that way.

If you think you can tell by William, Alma, and Leila and put them in the side room, let them in.

If you don't think it fits, let Takeo take care of you.

"In Mr. Takeo's side room?

Leila listens.

"... I'm not prepared to turn Alice against the enemy..."

"Right. You saw Alice's scales on the boulder the other day.

If that thing goes this way... I don't want to.

Alma sighs.

"Um. Would you like me to introduce you to a good man?

"Hmm? Father-in-law, how do you know you're single?

"Ah... actually, the two names of the third princess are 'Empress of Thin Happiness'.

"... I don't know either..."

"Um, I only know about Orcott and Clark.

It's not about another country, and I haven't explained it to anyone in particular.

The third princess continues to be unhappy when her husband dies suddenly during the wedding, or her eldest brother or second brother dies in an illness or accident.

"Uh... in the middle of a wedding?

"Uhm.

So, William, the third princess is her biological daughter.

"How do you expect me to react?

William protests with his jitsu eyes.

"... Father-in-law, how old is that third princess?

"Sure... don't feel like it was 24 or 5.

"Right under me..."

"Older than me..."

Alma and Leila whine at the same time.

"Either way, if Mr. Takeo returns to the King's Capital, there will be a look at the example butler and this princess...

We'll figure it out then we'll all think about it.

William answers.

"Um, do that.

King Azpar snorted too.
