216. Merffy Commercial State Management and Integration Part 3

"Congratulations on your marriage."

I would like to congratulate Princess Abigail of "Mephie Commercial Nation", who stands in front of me, and Gregorius, who was elected Grand Duke after a clear election.

The venue is the same as the party venue where Dirk was at when he attacked, and it's no different that the Surdise Chamber of Commerce is dominated by something that has changed dramatically in the way it gathers there.

It is a great occasion to announce the results of the Grand Duke election and the engagement of Princess Abigail and Gregorius.

"This is Reiko... Thank you very much. Without your help, this would not have happened... and now Abby will return the favor."

"......!... ah, thank you... thank you."

Her nickname is Princess Abigail, and in the crowd circle, Gregorius, a two-legged, pig-like man who caresses her body without hesitation, seems to be laughing and laughing at a slightly less suitable combination of men and women.

... well, depending on that man (the father on the family register), I might even get married and get mixed up with an ugly meat bag.

"My real name is Lena, so please call me that from now on."

I see, I understand.

I apologize to Gregorius for his unexpected face, but I didn't trust you, because I feel terribly self-centered that I don't want an ugly man like you to call my mother's name any more.

... well, if you're mistaken about this and you want to grow, I'll erase it... but if Mr. Gillan is with you, you'll be fine.

And what about the two of you in the back?

"Let me introduce you in turn ─ ─ This is just a dilk (...)"

As I pointed out with my hand, a man with a grossly exhausted expression... Dirk Fastoria, who was the (...) heir to the Fastoria Chamber of Commerce, reappears just Dirk.

"Oh, oh, isn't this Dirk Fastoria?

"No, it's not. Are you aware of the recent upheaval that greatly discredited the legitimacy of the Grand Duke election at the Fashion Chamber of Commerce? Wasn't the Fashion Chamber destroyed at that time?"

"Oops, that's right... no, I was surprised that the Fashion Chamber of Commerce didn't exist."

……

It's just so much fighting noise on the boulder, there's no way you can hide it through your feet.

Originally, the king of the country was just a decoration, and it was easy to crush the Fashion Chamber of Commerce, which had been a part of the country's hub since the founding of the country, for causing a major incident shaking the country after the Grand Duke election.

The second and third chambers of commerce were on Cochira's side, the head of the fashion chamber was dead, and Dirk was in custody... the rest of the family couldn't do much with him.

"Actually, I met him on my way here, begging. He is a very patriotic person who graces things and listens to them whimsically... and above all, he is brilliant as if he had been educated by a chamber of commerce."

"Ho, ho..."

"I was struck by his strong desire to help Princess Abigail, and I wondered if I could use him as Mr. Gregorius's chaperone."

"Well, that's... it hurts to care."

Speaking with a strong eye, tell Gregorius, and hence Gillan, who stands behind him, that this is an order, not a request or a visit.

By placing Mr. Dirk's identity at the Surdis Chamber of Commerce, he will be held hostage to the disturbing rebels who were formerly subordinates of the Fashion Chamber of Commerce, while at the same time serving as a shackle for Mr. Gregorius.

Former ministers will not be able to manoeuvre as long as Mr. Dirk, a legitimate member of the Fashion Chamber of Commerce, is present at the Surdis Chamber of Commerce, and it will soon become clear that he is going to take charge of Mr. Dirk.

Conversely, Mr. Dirk's presence at the Surdis Chamber of Commerce, and hence Gregorius, will bring former ministers together in the Surdis Financial City… which means that Gregorius will have internal distress in his own garden.

And Cochilla is Ellen Claudia Burrence, the current king of the United Kingdom of Burrence.

It's Ellen Claudia Burrence.

Then I will introduce Ellen, who has pulled from the City of the Beginnings for this day, by turning his hand to the other side.

I can see that Ellen and Princess Abigail and Gregorius, who suddenly appeared in their titles, had their mouths convulsed brilliantly and the party venue where they were listening quietly.

"Abigail Murphy Langdock and Gregorius Murphy Thaddeus will be awarded the Duke of the United Kingdom of Burrence."

─ ─

Gregorius and Dirk, who pale their faces more than ever and make their mouths squeak... include in their mouths a drink taken from Princess Abigail, who is about to collapse, staring at me with dead fish eyes while gently supporting her from behind.

By the time I got here, Ellen was complaining at such a critical volume as whether I could hear or not, but you were on time for the meeting.

"Do you have any objections to the fact that they are granting a territory that includes the cities of Secondia and Sardis in the state of Mephie in the United Kingdom of Burrence?

"... no, of course... no, neither..."

Exactly, Ellen presents her dagger to Gregorius along with a bundle of documents, such as deeds, rights, and orders.

"The official medal ceremony seems to be scheduled later."

"Ha, ha!

"Bruce Secondary has already been awarded the title of 'Queen of the United Kingdom of Burrence' … Use it well as a neighbor or a substitute."

I feel good when I look at Gregorius, who kneels faithfully and receives a bunch of documents and a dagger while sweating so much as I doubt gravy from the inside of his face.

Needless to say, Bruce Secondia is my subordinate, so that delicious industrial zone is essentially mine, not Gregorius.

However, if I rule as a lord, I will have a clear relationship with Ellen, and if something happens, I will have to show my face, so it will be a form of double trouble.

"Ah, um..."

"What is it?

"Well, who controls the territory, including the City of Fastoria?

"Of course, it will be under the direct control of the Royal Family."

"Really...."

Former Princess Abigail (...) asks Ellen to be afraid, but it's unlikely that someone will leave a barn full of money.

And as you may know, Royal Direct Control in this case refers to Royal Burrence, not the deceased (...) Languedoc Royal of the "Merchant Nation of Mephie".

For that reason, there is also the side that pushed Gregorius, a former fashion chamber of commerce minister who was in the way of rule.

Well, since it's my hometown, some disturbing elements will remain... but I can't help it.

"That's it.... Lena, I need to talk to you about something important over there, okay?

"?... hah, I don't mind?

Ellen suddenly tells me that she is picking chocolate confectionery while she is in a good mood for the unexpected operation of restoring calm and forcing the flow to create a fait accompli before she recovers.

I don't mind, but I lean my neck deeply into the action from Ellen, who wasn't at the meeting.

"So, what's the consultation?

Exit the venue deliberately and ask Ellen, who is alone in a break room for the participants, what she wants to talk about with her head tilted.

"What do you think of the guy who steals a whole country as a souvenir?

"Isn't that guy crazy? I can't carry a country with me."

"... so, what did I get you as a souvenir?

"It's a" Mephie Commercial Nationality Greed Set "full of huge sums of money that will moisturize the forthcoming war money and national treasury, as well as a base that will be a bridgehead against the northern part of the continent, even though it's a continuous territory."

"Shit."

What's wrong with Ellen?

As far as I'm concerned, I was going to pick out a souvenir that Ellen would be looking for right now... but were you dissatisfied with it?

"What's wrong with you ─ ─ Ah, maybe Princess Abigail should have worn it?

"What about it?"

"I don't recommend it because post-processing is going to be more difficult than it is right now... if Ellen says she wants a woman, should she have put it on?"

"What about it?"

"That's right, Ellen is a man, so I want a beautiful woman... I'm sorry."

I'm worried about "Hmm" with my fingers on my chin... I don't really want to break the status quo so neatly wrapped up, but my mother also said, "Gifts and surprises are what the person who received them is happy about."

It seems that not thinking about the other person is just a push for complacency, so should we still discard our engagement with Gregorius?

"Hah... hey, Lena."

"... what is it?

As she was thinking about what to do, Ellen walked up to me with a sigh.

I didn't expect my skin to get close enough to come into contact with my skin, and such a close distance would inevitably look up at Ellen ─ ─

"─ ─ If she's beautiful, she's right in front of you.

Gently, while holding my jaw with my fingers, Ellen says something that she doesn't understand.

"... Ellen?

Surprisingly, I'll call him by his name, but all you have to do is sit still and stare at me.

……

... what should I do, I have no idea what he's thinking.

I don't understand people's feelings for a long time, but I can only deduce their thoughts and thoughts from the rules of experience from the words spoken by the other person, but it is troublesome to keep silent.

"... ahh, already!

"... Ellen?

I suddenly screamed in indignation... as usual, I can't read ordinary people's thoughts.

"Hah... are you a wild animal, will you lose if you turn away? Ah?"

"... what are you so angry about?

"Why are you staring back at me like an idiot?! Shame on you!

"... hah?

When talking to people, I was taught to look them in the eye and talk to them… Is there any special case or exception?

And is Ellen indignant because the special case or exception has now come to light and was not inadvertently distracted?

... it's hard to take one line of sight.

"It's full of colors on the outside, but it's completely empty... it's like a child."

"... I'm already sixteen?

That's just unacceptable, what was so naive about my behavior?

"Hah... you're too pure for good or bad."

"... hah?

"I even think it's more sinful to feel that way about you."

Why did Ellen start convincing herself, but I still don't understand at all?

What made him angry and convinced based on what information?

... well, it's not like I'm dissatisfied with my souvenir, so that's good.

I have no doubt that Ellen is going to leave the break room with her back away from me... I have no idea what's going on.

"─ ─ Ah, yes."

"... what is it?

Responding to Ellen looking back with her hands on the door of the room... could you explain the sequence?

"... I think that dress suits you very well."

"... hah, thank you for that?

I didn't plan to fight today, so I was wearing a deep blue dress... I didn't think I'd get any more compliments.

……

……

"... that's it, bye"

"... hah?

He kept staring at me for a while, but after a while, he left the room without looking back.

"... Ellen, are you tired?

Next time, I'll write it down in my mind notebook to make Hanako-san and Takeo-san's tea with scales.

"... how could you want her to run like an adult?"
