Common Sense of a Warrior

Then two days later... five days after I stuck in the inn, Alf came back.

With a soft grin that doesn't make you feel tired at all, the same as usual.

"... what's the end?

"Tomorrow, the funds will be returned to the House of the Duke of Baskar"

"Well... well, you've been able to row that far safely on these tough dates. Is that a stupid question?"

"It was pleasant, take it on. The Duke of Baskar will also finally be in jeopardy of the flow of funds… Please accept the interview offer from Count Talbot's house immediately. The clerk has a letter and funds from Count Talbot, which will be returned tomorrow. Of course, I checked the text. In brief, 'The Duke of Baskar was at his convenience, the Chamber of Commerce of Nord, had deposited the funds with both protection and insurance when passing through our territory. The lack of a request for the return of funds because they had left the territory without causing any special problems, as well as the fact that our home was in a rush to replace them, led to a very slow return with great fear. We have deposited it here, and we will return the funds in bulk."

Less common, but leading merchants and aristocrats may deposit amounts on top of the toll taxes they pay when entering other territories.

It had two implications: coverage that it was a definite identity, and insurance that I wanted it to be convenient when I got into some kind of problem.

The funds deposited will then be returned for that amount upon leaving the Territory if nothing happens.

The Earl of Talbot had the funds received processed as deposits.

"... well, that would be good"

"I'm afraid so....... This is a meeting with Lord Romel's Duke of Sliger, but I had him scheduled for tomorrow. We also have plans with the Duke of Kreutz family before we meet the Duke of Sliger, so we are here to put in an interview"

"Okay.... you put a lot of effort into this one."

"It's a hell of a thing. So long, Master Romel. That will be all for the report, please excuse me."

"Oh. Get some rest this evening"

And the next day, I headed to the Duke of Kreutz's house in the morning.

Our Lord Chester Crowe, who was the hard-held one with which tensions were conveyed at the beginning, was also able to ice melt where the reciprocal inviolability pact between nations was discussed and row down to the point where he accepted the talks in the Kingdom of Tasmeria safely.

After the talks, we head to the residence of the Duke of Sliger's house once we have returned to the Inn to rest.

The carriage rocked me, and I lost so much that I arrived at the mansion.

Before entering the mansion, stop for a moment and look up at the mansion.

"How did you do it?

That's how Alf, who was walking behind me, called out to ask.

"... no, it's nothing. Let's go."

I laughed small at the question and started walking again.

Alf asked no further, just followed quietly.

"Welcome aboard, Master Romel"

As soon as we enter the entrance, the old man in the butler's clothes greets us with a line.

He brings a welcome smile and shows a beautiful thank you.

"My husband is waiting for you. Please come this way."

But when I saw him, I exhaled from the inside.

The old butler didn't make any suspicious moves.

He's more of a kind person, with a good grin of people.

But in front of that perfect grin, I felt an atmosphere similar to that of Alf, and I was vigilant.

The old butler advances in the corridor with a red carpet without a single footstep.

Then me and Alf and the Kreutz escorted along.

"Now, please wait here for a moment. The escorts are in the next room."

In the room I was put through, I sit on the couch indicated.

Behind it, Alf stood to refrain.

Soon afterwards, the old butler appears with the knocking sound again.

Now, accompany me with a masterful figure behind me.

I get up on the spot.

"... nice to meet you. I'm Curtis Sliger. Far away, welcome.... Are you feeling better now?

"I apologize for that verse. On an unfamiliar journey, I seem to have become tired from day to day. It's totally better now. … Thank you for your time today"

When Curtis sat in the opposite seat, I also lowered back to my seat again.

"So, Lord Romel.... Why did you come all the way to this country?

I sigh under a grin when it's something I say sarcastically for a long time from the start.

"Isn't it natural for you as a prime minister to try to interact more with your neighbors?

"Well... so?"

Curtis raised the edge of his mouth slightly. But I'm not laughing at all.

"Lord Romel is diligent. Because your country and my country have not had an interactive interaction in the past.... Oh, speaking of which. There seemed to be some small interaction between parts of our country and parts of your country."

I still laughed, either mentioning that point.

"Oh... I hear that. Do you think there is an exchange between the Earl of Talbot in our country and the Duke of Baskar in your country? Before leaving the lodging, Count Talbot's use came and reported to me today asking about the Duke of Baskar, so it might be time for the talks to be over."

To my words, Curtis changes her complexion for the first time.

"... Were you? I hope it serves as a good bridge between our country and yours."

But he had a sarcastic grin again as to whether he had quickly rebuilt himself.
