Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

"First, we looked into Divan and the Isler Chamber of Commerce. It was not until a few years before Baroness Yuri's mother died that he began working in this country. His footsteps were erased beautifully and I couldn't grasp them, but according to Baroness Neuer's story, you think he's visited Yuri a few times? Perhaps before Baron Neuer took her... it is presumed that she had some contact from an early age"

"... when you checked on Yuri before, the man who names his relatives is likely Divan."

"Yes, probably. And Baroness Yuri's mother, of the Duke of Rubens family… was precisely the one who worked as a maid of the royal palace, on the recommendation of the former Duchess of Rubens, who was descended from the Twile Nation".

"Adding that your father advised me to stop the investigation, he concluded that there was a good chance that the intelligence of the Twilight Nation"

I told Tanya to make sure.

"Yes.... actually, there were others who came to that conclusion and were grasping the facts"

"Aren't you the only ones in the upper echelons of the country, starting with your father?

"No, this is Baroness Neuer."

To an unexpected person, I looked out for surprises.

To put it this way... the Baroness just grabbed a secret at the national level.

"You resented the woman who caused it and made her look into it as the hearts and minds of her loved ones moved away. She refrained from blowing around to the fact that it was too heavy and secretly ruled out Baroness Yuri's mother. In doing so, he took a statement from her mother."

"I see, hey. Nevertheless, Tanya. You say it as if you've seen it."

It was a likely conclusion to say that it was true, but at the time of the previous examination it was only not within the realm of speculation.

That was only circumstantial evidence, because there was no certain thing.

Therefore, I wanted to know what her sources were.

"By the curse of Baroness Neuer...... no, it was in the notebook. The security of Baron Neuer's house was quite loose, so we could easily see it for the price."

The book of curses and what Tanya was about to say, her inner cheeks cramp.

"As the Beloved Goes Away..." I honestly though I was surprised when words like a sentence of Lovelomance came out of her mouth... I see, because I read Baroness Neuer's notebook?

Perhaps what I described as a book of curses was what contained such resentment that the seer of Baroness Yuri's mother would suffer and hatred for Baron Neuer.

"If it's in your hands, it doesn't seem like there's a loose guard. Nevertheless, the fact that it's so heavy, why the notebook... Careless."

"Lady, people can't keep secrets. It's quality."

Her words were strangely persuasive.

Sure, that fact is too heavy to hold in.

Baroness Neuer's mood at the time...... I want to bump into it somewhere and lose it, and the black feelings that come out one after the other in me go together, and I probably couldn't keep it to myself.

I have my own experience, so that mood is not hard to imagine.

"In other words, it is certain that Baroness Yuri's mother was an intelligence agent of the Twile State. It's reasonable to assume that Divan is also an associate of the Twilight Nation and has come to this country to do something."

"Yes, I thought so, too"

To Tanya's consent, I exhale heavily.

I have a headache when I think about how many sighs the hell I'm going to have today.

Yuri has the mother of an intelligence agent from the Twile Nation.

Divan is in the same position as Yuri's mother… even if he is different, he is in some way beneficial to the Twilight nation.

No way I've come to visit an enemy country that has ceased to be a truce, not a truce. There's just no way... and that's probably very likely.

If they're still connected like that... there's nothing but cold.

Anyway, Yuri is the fiancée of the second prince of this country.

And corrupted one powerful man after another, fierce.

No... Was Lady Ellia falling on her too?

Either way, the information in the upper echelons of the country means that it is out of the way of the Twiles.

... I can't stay without sighing.

Until now there has been a party that has spearheaded your father and stopped it... how far does that work now that your father has fallen?

"... what's Divan's move?

"We are going around visiting a group of aristocrats from the Marquis of Maelia. Others are buying and selling food as a meeting of the Isler Chamber of Commerce"

"... of the Maelian Marquis clan, the nobles to whom Divan came into contact?

"I've created that list."

Tanya hands me a piece of paper.

I saw that, zah. Then compare it to a letter from Moneda.

"... we might have connected."

Bounced out, reasoning.

Hoping to get it off, but still not if it fits this far.

Tanya, look at this.

Tanya Ho, take a careful look at the paperwork I gave you.

It was accompanied by a letter from Moneda, a line of noble houses.

"This is the same list I gave you......? Handwriting of Moneda...... Does that mean that Moneda had the lady look into it, too?

"Yeah. I asked you to do something else. That's where I recently bought cereals. Moneda still has thick pipes with each chamber of commerce. That's why I asked him... boulders. Looks like it was the Chamber of Commerce that took the order that actually bought it into the market, and even looked into the owner of that order. It seems that nobles with cereal zones in their territories are not making purchases through the Chamber of Commerce, but raising taxes to store them. This list says everything about those houses."

"Does that mean Divan is buying and fishing for grain"

"Yep.... probably buying and fishing for the reserves each nobleman is accumulating. To make up for it, although each aristocrat runs to buy what goes on the market... there is no reason to make it. The same amount of new products will come out unless opened. So it's impossible to cover all the reserves and consumption."

"Why is Divan running to buy reserves? Wouldn't that be a good idea to buy something new on the market?"

"You must be afraid you'll have legs. If you buy in such a large quantity, each Chamber of Commerce, Commercial Guild, Country… there will be suspicious people in any place."

"But..."

"Buying reserves is less costly than new ones. A little color to buy the reserves would be beneficial to each nobleman.... the Maelian Marquis was famous, but there were a lot of places where the truth was a fire train."

"... I see"

"But this is the best reason."

I gave Tanya a piece of the enclosed gold coin.

"What the hell is this gold coin...?

"It's not a regular gold coin. Moneda made me look into it, and it says there's impurities mixed in with gold. The real gold is five of those gold coins for three regular gold coins. That's what the Chamber of Commerce received when they traded with the nobles on that list."

"No way......"

"If you're from the Chamber of Commerce, you'll find out soon enough. Although the Chamber of Commerce was also suspicious, it seems that they received it as it was because they thought it was... Fortunately, although the transaction itself did not seem to be significant. You missed the point.... What if it's this gold coin that Divan uses to pay?

"Divan can get food for less than the original price......?

"That's not all there is, though. Money is what comes under credit."

Monetary history was similar to that of the world that lived in previous life.

From bartering, it eventually changes shape to 'what everyone wants', 'what can be collected and distributed and can express the magnitude of the value that everyone can be convinced of', 'what is easy to carry and preserve'.... I mean, people created something called currency.

Eventually, gold will be used as a uniform standard and gold exchange vouchers… that is, banknotes will be issued as instruments that can be exchanged for gold. From there, we are moving to a managed currency system...

Even in this world, where the value of gold is used as a uniform standard, as in the world of previous life, it goes hand in hand.

Gold is used as is to exchange, and transactions are made in gold, silver, and copper coins.

In the territory of the Duke of Almeria, checks and bills have also appeared because there are well-maintained banks.

Now put that down, if all knew there was impurities mixed in the gold coins...?

'Fulfill it, is what you have really worth it?' And I wonder.

At that point, it loses its function as a currency.

For example, when someone brings me a story about wanting me to sell one piece of bread I have.

If you were asked to trade me for a voucher for a real and guaranteed gold extension stick, issued by a famous metal store like everyone knows, I would be happy to exchange it.

Because they give me a piece of paper that I've never even seen and I can trade it for a gold extension stick with this one... what would they say and respond to it? I wouldn't respond.

Because I really don't know if that paper is worth it.

And it's the same.

If you don't know if that thing that you trade for your own sale is really worth it... no one will want to replace it.

"You'll do it...! Divan."

I shouted as I thought of what I had seen at the Azuta Chamber of Commerce in Wangdu.

"It is imperative that the value of things increases more than the value of gold decreases. Besides, the thing itself is low.... If there's any noise, we can't stop the food surge at the end."

Although I can't afford to lose more of his ruse than the lives of the inhabitants are on my shoulders... for some reason, 'myself' was rolling if I didn't want to lose.
