Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

- Diaz at the reception.

When the negotiations over the location of the border and the investment were over, Yaten and Paigin returned and looked at the documents left on the table for the negotiations...... Arnault, who was watching Paigin's carriages leave at the entrance to the reception hall, calls out after closing the entrance door tightly.

"That Yaten guy was bright red... There was no strange lie in that word, so I kept quiet..."

Alnar was able to do the soul appraisal without shining a horn for a while, and apparently he was still doing the soul appraisal during the negotiation... As a result, Aima and Hubert start rushing to check the contents of the documents.

I checked whether the wording and content contained any kind of trap, intent to trick us, or such malice... There was nothing malicious about it, and there was probably nothing wrong with the text. Immediately, Aima and Hubert stroked their chest as they let out a sigh.

"Just because I have bad intentions doesn't mean that the other person will do something soon... but suddenly, as soon as Diaz pointed out that, he stopped making concessions... and did everything he didn't really understand."

Looking at the two of them, Arnault said something like that... and we all leaned our heads together and began to think about Yaten's thoughts.

But I couldn't give an answer, and to the best of my knowledge, I was able to read through the area like Zhu Ha... Next time I talked to Zhu Ha about something, the discussion settled down in that way... and Gordia called out, apparently waiting for it to happen.

"Whatever the other person's intentions, it would be nice to receive an investment of this amount."

I'm sure you'll be able to collect all the materials you need... I'm sure you'll be able to start mine development as soon as you find someone who knows more about mine development and people who can help you with their limbs.

... however, it's unlikely that anyone can do it, so even the guild can find someone they can trust. "

We nodded in response, forgetting about Yaten for a moment, and began to talk about the mine development that was to be officially started.

- In the carriage, Paige de.

The walls and floors are covered with a high-quality black altarboard, the sitting area is dyed red with a high-quality maori cloth, and there is a cotton mattress on top.

Various craftsmanship items, including wind chimes, are hung near the windows, and the windows themselves are the result of artisans' mastery of various craftsmanship.

In a carriage that was so lavish that it would end up battling out how many gold coins it would be able to buy if it was a completely different carriage from the one that Paige and the others normally used, Paige de sat down facing Yaten with an uncomfortable face, and Yaten slowly opened her mouth when she noticed it.

”... I don't understand the intentions of the statements made at the negotiating table earlier. If you don't understand, then that's what you're saying, right?”

Worried about how Paige Dawn had returned the words, Yaten glanced half-eyed at Paige, and then returned her sighing and serious words.

"Well, you guys have done a lot of work on this... it's nothing to answer that kind of question."

It would be impossible for you, a natural merchant, to understand the negotiations in the first place.

I'm not talking about your qualities, I'm talking about any merchant... the man I kept from Lord Me 'Abadar always looked like you... I guess he's a merchant too. "

"I mean, you can't understand anything that makes a living as a merchant...?"

Those guys are negotiating about investment and future business, like Arisa's main body...? "

As Paige leans her neck back, Yaten narrows her half-eyes even further... and continues to say words.

"At that point, you've already made a mistake."

In the first place, this case should have been about seeking friendship between nations from the other side... when it comes to investment, it's just a mistake to focus on how to make money from investment.

Friendly... yes, friendly. They came up with a story in search of friendship. If only they could enter into a friendly relationship, it would be good. The profits from mine development should be second... but the ordinary and stupid ones will lose their original purpose there because of their foolishness.

As soon as you get a lot of gold and silver, your greed drives you to make money for a seat that is supposed to be friendly.

I try to scold the people who have come all the way to seek friendly relations, and I try to make a lot of money with a little caution.

That might be good for a merchant... but that's not good for you and Lord Me 'abadar.

If Lord Mayavadar had come aboard that story, the story of friendship would have been a ruin at the time.

I'm worried about the other person who wants to have a friendly relationship and take away a lot of money, but what's friendly about it... even if it turns into a war as it is, can't you complain? "

"Oh, that's... that's... that kind of thing, so?"

Ah, from what I can see, it seems like it's the fault of those who showed such weaknesses in the important negotiation..... "

"If you're a merchant, that's good, but as a country bearer, that's not good."

Seeking friendship from the other side, a group of people like me went out of their way to betray their feelings, steal their money, and humiliate them... then the war will not stop, but the weak forces in the last seat of the nation will not want to be like that.

But we also have a face here, so just stop the war and we won't be able to drink it... yes, we'll have to get the ownership of the mine and a little territory that caused it.

... well, I'm not a demon either, I won't go that far, I won't go that far.

If Lord Me 'Abadar had tried to be on our guard, he would have blamed it on us and stopped us at that point.

Stop and be gentle... we'll take the lead, lead the conversation and implant a certain guilt in the other person's heart.

According to you, Lord Me 'Abadar is a big man, isn't he? The poison of guilt will work on your friendly heart, and it will continue to erode your heart for the rest of your life.

Eaten and weakened... until I die.

... oh, I did a terrible thing. It was totally unexpected that I would continue to push that proposal, but I didn't look like that kind of person...

No, that's too bad. If only the Lord had been a little more greedy... I could have made that meadow the way I want for ten or twenty years. "

"G-Geez!?"

Paige de unexpectedly screamed at Yaten's words.

In response to that scream, Yaten glanced down at Paige Daw from a distance...... and on top of that, he struck his hand in a very deliberate manner.

"... no, I see. It was a mistake not to come up with such a simple hand."

... we should have started by hunting down the opponent financially.

That curtain house was decorated with works of art from the Beastman country, wasn't it? I should have sold more of them and sucked up the gold before telling this story... oh, why didn't the merchants just think about it so soon... no, I'm just ashamed of it. "

Gosh!?

Yaten laughs and says such a thing after striking her hand, and Paige de screams again after receiving it.

Looking at Paige Dawn like that, Yaten didn't start from scratch... she clapped her fingers and laughed at Paige Dawn.

― ― ― Paige Les while clinging to the exterior wall of the carriage

Taking full advantage of his natural hands and feet, Paige Les was clinging to the exterior wall of the carriage, pressing her ears together and eavesdropping on the conversation inside. Paige Les heard the screams of her brother Du...... when she received the sign that she had met in advance, she took both her hands and feet off the exterior wall.

Release and fall to the ground... If the guards accompanying the carriage and the trusted men who have served the main house of Paigin for generations catch on, they will jump up and stand on the ground, and immediately prepare various tools such as paper, ink, ink, and brush... start writing in Sara-sara and the Kingdom language.

After watching Paige Les like this until the end of the meadow... escorting her to the newly defined border, Paige Les wrote down Yaten's thoughts and details about her persona while the small breeds of the Dog Human Clan tilted their necks.

(Dessner, Yaten-sama...)

Yaten-sama is indeed a fine man in a beastly town...... I used my eldest son as an envoy for a long time, and I used all of my family in this case...... but if you don't give me a big price, I can't respect him...... why do you think that my family will obey him honestly?

On the contrary, Lord Diaz has paid my clan well enough, Thamas.

The merchant, which one of us will be...... Self-evident reason (DeShouni)

And Paige Les remembers the price that Diaz and the others offered her.

It is an unbelievable right that "even if the Sekiguchi can pass freely, only the Paigin family can pass freely"... It is unimaginable how much profit that right will bring to Paigin and the others if the Sekiguchi is completed, investment is advanced, and national diplomatic relations are established.

Only the Paige family can come and go freely with neighboring countries that have famous products such as Maori cloth, rock salt and iron, and even the possibility of trading with neighboring territories beyond the meadow...

While other merchants are stranded at the customs post to check the loads and pay the toll, they are free to do business without such hassle or expense.

(In that case, it's not about where the mansion will be built, but about Masen, the castle... Yea, a little city and a small country will be created, and the money will be gathered in my house...

However, it is only to protect Death, that Diaz is the lord of this land, that Ga is alive and well... To protect Diaz like this, the Watashida Paigin family will also be on Diaz's side.

Ra, who has become King Beast and Lord Diaz, leans toward King Beast...... Yaten, your balance is slightly wobbly.)

Thinking about it further, Paige Les wrote a letter... and put it in a solid envelope and sealed it. She wrote a pen on the envelope saying "to Diaz-sama".

Then I silently handed it over to the Dog Man Clan... The Dog Man Clan suddenly tilted their neck as hard as they could, but they read the letters written there, understood that it seemed to be okay to send them to Diaz anyway, and ran towards the village of Irk with the envelope in their arms.

After seeing off such a dog clan, Paige Les quietly slipped her tools such as brushes into her favorite backpack... then quietly caught up to the carriage that was moving forward without understanding Yaten.

The men who were watching the situation closely followed Paigin Les without saying anything... and the remaining dog tribes who continued to escort the dogs had unusual habits in their neighbors. They tilted their necks as they thought about it... and then switched their feelings, snorted their noses, and pinned their ears to resume the important escort duties requested by Diaz.
