"… the report is more than that. The economy of the Duke of Almeria is not an exaggeration."

Speaking in a good mood, Moneda.

He is regularly asked to report on the bank's operations and other market trends, and discusses future developments.

He's right, the economy of the Duke of Armenia is doing well.

Not only is water treatment work under way, but local infrastructure is also being developed.

The territory of the Duke of Armenia is also experiencing a steady increase in population.

Along with this, trade with other countries has also been enlivened.

In this context of expanding both domestic and external demand, employment was on track and consumption was steadily changing.

"As for this realm, yes. But, Moneda. I care about one thing..."

"How have you been?

"The price of Wangdu is slowly rising, right? It's also mainly groceries."

"... well, you know"

"The trend in the Wang capital is confirmed by the details. So far, although it has not affected the territory of the Duke of Armenia... What do you think of this?

"I haven't heard anything about inappropriateness in other territories. I was also a little curious to find out, but I don't have the mane for some chamber of commerce to buy in and accumulate. That's why it's so puzzling."

"A boulder. Tanya said it would take a while to find out."

"It's a pestle I used to take. Even though I quit my commercial guild, I can still see my face in the Chamber of Commerce and the guild, including in other areas."

"I see.... you mean that things are decreasing even though it's not inactive...? Little by little so that the public's discontent doesn't explode."

"The possibility is that the cereal production areas are accumulating without release. Or that you are collecting in the royal palace. … is that about it?"

"... or is the Twill Nation chewing one..."

"Huh?"

Pottori and the words I squealed, they didn't reach his ears.

"Nothing. … we are able to secure stockpiles in this territory."

"When other territories raised tariffs with the Duke of Armenia, they bought it to turn it into stockpiles."

"Yep..."

Now it doesn't even feel like it's in the hands of the enemy,

... overthought, though I think.

Either way, it's a shame that we have enough stockpiles, as Moneda put it.

"We also need to think about releasing our stockpiles. Moneda, keep an eye on market trends."

"I'm in awe"

"Speaking of which, you seem to have gotten a lot of bills and checks out in general. It would be because the bank is well functioning. Thank you, Moneda."

"It's an honor to keep it in compliment. It's because you're helping your daughter. That special ink I received before... I didn't expect you to provide the bank with the technology for free, even though that would have built a fortune"

Previously, the bank was provided with a recipe for ink developed by a team from the Development Department of the Azzuta Chamber of Commerce.

I forgot what I originally wanted to make, but in the process I was able to get ink that when I hit the lamp, the color would change.

I have been supporting various inventors and researchers lately, and there are many things that I can do for everyone who gets them.

I have reported that there is nothing else like a toy to use where I generally sold it... and I bought it at the Duke of Armenia house.

That's what I offered the bank.

There is no other ink...... so it is used in checks and bills when it can be used to prevent counterfeiting.

As a result, various other ideas have been devised to prevent counterfeiting.

"There's no other good use. It's the right material."

"When it comes to the right material, I actually brought you a sample of the array we talked about before."

"All of a sudden I talk about ink, so if you think of something... that, even though I haven't accepted it yet. Let me see."

I take a look at it from him.

"That's brilliant. Because it's about you, is this also being devised to prevent counterfeiting?

"For its contents, please refer to this material"

"Well...... that you are really ready"

Moneda's, and I laughed unexpectedly.

"Because it's also important to bury it from the outer moat. … already in a state where it can be run at any time"

"I see. You were a merchant... a boulder. Let me think a little more."

Sebastian came in at that time.

"O... lady..."

It looks like a rare mess to him.... but I have a bad feeling about it.

"What happened, Sebastian?"

"From neighbouring Acacia, we have a messenger. … the First Prince said he wanted to inspect the Duke of Almeria…"

…… What did you say?

Just like Sebastian, instantly I messed up too. I'm circling my eyes like I'm surprised up to Moneda.

... It was more of a shock than I thought.

Neighbouring countries separating the territory of the Duke of Armenia from the sea… The State of Acacia, because of its location, for generations the territory of the Duke of Armenia has served as the gateway to this country… National dealings with the State of Tasmeria have been exchanged.

Countries with different languages and different cultures and everything.

Every few years or so, messengers come and go to the royal palace to say hello... but I have never heard the royal family begin to say that they want to come and visit the realm.

Because the trade has become more active... I wonder.

"And... anyway, I will meet with that messenger. Moneda, I'm sorry..."

Before I said everything, Moneda bowed her head and left the room.

"Do you accept princes?

"... I can't. It is too ill-minded for me to soak up the royalty of this country and meet you. But even though, because of me, the Duke of Armenia stands in a subtle position within the Tasmerian state... worst of all, I can't help but be seen as willing to leave."

"If so... refuse?

"I guess that's the best part.... I need to make sure the corners don't stand. I hope you can at least go to the royal palace and take the form of stopping by here..."

"Right......"

Sebastian looks pale.

That would be... I'm sure I'm something similar.

"Sebastian. Have you reported it to your father?

"Already have a fast horse."

"A boulder.... I can't keep you waiting, I'll be right there."

"I'm in awe"
