I Became the First Prince
227. 66. Sometimes a soft appeal is stronger than a knife (1)
Hestia Neumann Tudor was extremely nervous.
It was a long time ago that the prince was promised exclusive deals in Dwarf Gear and all the details for the alliance were coordinated.
All that was left was for the representatives of both parties to seal the agreement in writing.
However, the people of the Kingdom of Leonberg, who were acting like they were about to finish their work, suddenly began to hold negotiations.
I asked him why he suddenly changed his attitude, and he was a prince.
Hestia immediately found the prince.
“What part of it don't you like? ”
And I asked him why he didn't close the negotiations.
“Wait.”
“How long do you expect me to wait? As you may know, after the Duke of Seymour of the Nation, negotiations can be difficult. It won't be a good thing for your return after a long time. ”
“I'll be leaving soon, so wait. ”
The prince repeated like a parrot just to wait.
I was just waiting.
The prince was the one holding the knife.
One day passed and another day passed.
Even though he waited and waited, the prince sent a message of affection.
I found the prince again with a sudden heart.
But Prince Al Hyeon refused.
I have visited it several times, but the results were the same.
She was not allowed to enter the palace of the prince and was struck by a doomsday.
In the meantime, I heard that King Leonberg is on his way back.
The discord between King Leonberg and my eldest son was also a famous story in the distant Tutton.
The eldest son of the Leonberger family, who was driven to the north by his father's hatred.
His son set up a great ball there, but instead of acknowledging his son's ball, he gave him the position of the envoy's representative and chased him back to the Empire.
After a year of returning to his life as a speaker, it was hard to say that his father had forced his children to be destroyed.
I also heard that if it wasn't for the war, the eldest son of the Leonberger family would not have been released from the ruins.
It turned out that Hestia was very worried that the disagreement between the two rich people would not affect the negotiations.
The King of Leonberg, she heard, was a rather emotional, dark monarch in Sari, a father who covers up and opposes what my eldest son does.
Hestia went to the palace of the prince several times to ask for Al Hyeon.
Of course, the prince did not listen to her request again this time.
She pleaded guilty.
I think he was overly optimistic about the negotiations. The Dwarfje armored monopoly was overruled by the treaty. I don't even know how this is going to turn out.
Things were bad.
I also heard that Duke Seymour had succeeded in extinguishing a certain amount of Simma through articles from the Roses Division recently.
The fact that someone from another country believed only verbally in their promises and made things right made her unbearable.
But what really bothered her was the fact that she still couldn't give up on the prince.
He was different from the rest of the men.
In short, he had a strange magical power and the power to make the listener feel the expectation that he would be drawn.
If it wasn't for him, she would never have dreamed of the queen being defeated by her men again.
“Hestia, Hestia. I can't believe you believe him even in this situation. It's good to see you. ”
She sighed.
While she was so proud, the King of the Kingdom of Leonberg finally returned.
And soon after the king returned, I heard that the prince was completely in my palace.
I heard he was not feeling well.
A man strong enough to trample Duchess Seymour, who was called Western, and make him a dead man, is now a wayward soldier.
It was a lie that even a child would not believe.
I just recalled the discord of the Leonberger family that broke out until Sassam Tutton.
Then one day the King of the Kingdom of Leonberg sent a messenger.
“Your Majesty said he would be waiting for Tutton's representative in the Feud at noon on Myeongdae. ”
For Hestia, it sounded like he was going to meet tomorrow and destroy the negotiations.
It was the moment when faith in the prince, who had not abandoned him to the end, became unbearable.
The day was bright and she was neatly equipped and headed to the Feud.
Then I met the current monarch of the Kingdom of Leonberg.
“Tutton's Tudor family, Hestia Neumann, greets the monarch of the Kingdom of Leonberg. It's an honor to meet you. ”
“I'm not too glad I found the most precious rose the Tudor family boasts without first finding it. ”
A formal greeting came and went.
She lowered her head and began to calculate what the king would look like.
I will say, "I have heard your reasoning, but I will refuse. ”
In the meantime, the king said,
“The agreement between Tutton and the Kingdom will be as it is. ”
She raises her head in an unexpected way.
And for the first time, I could see the king's face.
In the mid-30s, the face of the corporation was strangely familiar.
The only difference was that the temperament was much softer when the prince was old.
“It's like I thought I'd make a convention out of nothing. ”
Hestia nods at me for a moment.
“I thought the discord between me and him was due to Tutton. Even if you think so, it is not strange at all. ”
“That's not what I meant. ”
Hestia, who later realized her virginity, hurriedly bowed her head and apologized.
The king smiled generously and accepted her apology. And to add,
“Everything he said will be done as it is. ”
The prince's promise will be fulfilled.
“Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
She bowed her head deeply and praised the King's decision.
Inside, I cursed Tutton's joggers.
A dreamer who dreamed of independence from the Empire on a subject he could not afford.
An old king who looked older than I was when I was stabbed by a Sepha.
A narrow father in jealousy and hatred for my son.
None of what they said was true.
The king's eye, a typical dreamer, was too clear to say that it was the one who followed a vain dream, and his old appearance looked 10 years younger than mine. Moreover, even though there were only a few words, the king's voice, which referred to the prince, contained no deeper trust.
After that, the king gave her a few words of concern about her health and sent her out with a few more words of triviality to prepare her for nurturing.
“Ah..."
After the war, she unwinds and shakes me unconsciously.
Soon, however, he corrected his posture and put his face straight.
"Do you need some time alone? If possible, I'd like to finish reviewing the details today. ”
The people of the kingdom who had participated in the negotiations were waiting for her.
“So am I. ”
She read the writings prepared by the people of the Kingdom. It was a document stamped with the seal of the Leonberger family.
“As we agreed. ”
Hestia does not hesitate, but takes Tutton's seal from it.
That was how Tutton and Leonberg's alliance came about.
It was a moment when the princess, who had to stay like a flower in the garden because she was a woman, gained the power to trade in Dwarf gear.
Soon after, Duke Seymour was defeated and returned to his place.
“Your Majesty has certainly ordered us to solidify this alliance through marriage. By the way, why did the Princess take care of things so arbitrarily? ”
The face of the Duke, who would not once hate to save her, was cold before.
His eyes were full of vigilance, as if he were looking at static.
I don't know, but if it wasn't for the royal palace of another country, it would have made me very angry.
Hestia was trivial in his heart.
In the meantime, I think the feelings of my uncle's affection were so shabby. It was just a meaningful little affection when she was left as a flower in the garden.
The viceroy was no different. No, almost all the Tutons did.
What they loved was obedient and beautiful princesses, not princesses who would share power with themselves.
“All you wanted was a solid alliance. Marriage was just one of the many means to do this. Marriage doesn't necessarily have to be a premise. ”
Hiding himself, Hestia persuaded Duke Seymour to behave in a courteous manner.
“The mission of the envoy is a marital alliance. Why do you not know that it is against Your Majesty's dignity to interpret His Majesty's will and deal with His work arbitrarily? ”
But Duke Seymour didn't listen to her properly.
In the past, she would have bowed her head to Duke Seymour's instruction and just repeated that she was sorry.
“If Duke Seymour knows the majesty of His Majesty, you will not know that this attitude of mine seems to insult His Majesty, who appointed me head of this mission. ”
But not now.
She was no longer a powerless princess who yearned for the generosity and affection of others.
The look on Duke Seymour's face hardened.
“That's not what it means. I was just worried that the princess would be punished by Her Majesty. ”
“I have fulfilled your mission. Don't you think that the Dwarfje armor deal is a situation that deserves praise rather than income and reproach that His Majesty didn't expect? ”
Duke Seymour failed to answer her questions.
I only saw her with a slight confusion and an eye with greater vigilance.
Hestia liked it so much.
I felt like I was now on a par.
However, I had no intention of turning my uncle, who was in absolute power in Tutton, into an enemy already.
“I've been expecting it. If the Knights of the Rose Thorn were to be armed with Dwarves, how glorious they would be. ”
At her words, the Duke kept his lips shut.
“The treasure has its owner, and the sharp saber the dwarves make. But unfortunately, I don't have eyes to tell. I need a knight who's good at looking at swords and good enough to cover up their masters. ”
Hestia pulls out the sword held by the prince.
“Just like my uncle. ”
Then I swung as much as I could.
The Duke's face changed.
Greed came to my face when I was unaware and vigilant.
It was a face I would never have seen before.
The Duke was proud enough to give up even the throne for the completion of the sword.
But that high pride had already been crushed.
By the eldest son of the Leonberger family.
“If you can be a tribute to the humble kingdom of Jajumma, why not? ”
And the Duke, who lost his pride, chose power.
“I will gladly cooperate with the Princess. ”
A smile blossomed on her face.
Beautiful as a rose, with a sharp smile like a rose's thorn.
Hestia told the king to return and said goodbye.
“I hope that Tutton will join the upcoming banquet as an ally. Will you listen?”
“I'm just sorry I couldn't do that because I have an urgent situation in my home country. ”
After repeatedly bowing her head, she tried to give an example of farewell as she had prepared.
“I will take care of the royal mercy at the upcoming banquet. Since the city is the city, I thought that the ceremony would also be more meaningful if the celebration of the allies were to take place as quickly as possible. But there's an urgent situation in my homeland, so I can't catch more with my greed. ”
It certainly was before I heard the purpose of the banquet.
“If that's the case, of course you have to attend! ”
As soon as I heard that, Hestia shouted without even knowing me.
“I remember saying there was an urgent situation in my home country. ”
"It's not as urgent as attending as an envoy to congratulate your allies on their slopes. ”
The king laughed and said, "Thank you.
That way, she and Tutton's envoy postponed their return and attended the banquet of the Kingdom of Leonberg.
As usual, I would have refused to go to the dungeon.
But I couldn't.
It was not that the identity of those who came was high.
Rather, it was the opposite.
Baron or Viscount at all costs.
Visitors were nobles of the Kingdom of Armenia.
It was not easy to refuse the provincial lords, the fathers who trusted me with their children, who held their rightful place even when the British lords and the nobles were attached to the Empire.
“Yes, it's been a long time. Baron Tailme.”
As I lay down my egg, the virtuous man falls flat on his face.
“I should have said hello to you so often, but I'm sorry I didn't. ”
“I was indifferent. I should have told Taylor the news, too, but I was busy and distracted. ”
“I just believed that the good news was good news and that I would be having a useful time under His Majesty. ”
I received a thoughtful greeting, and I immediately asked them why they came to the royal family.
“All the nobles of the kingdom have a royal order to attend the royal banquet. ”
I thought the banquet that Baron Tailme said was just a victory banquet.
“Congratulations in advance. I hope you can find a suitable mate for His Majesty. ”
But it wasn't.
“What?"
He frowned at me and asked me what I meant, and Baron Tailme opened his eyes.
“I heard it's a banquet that takes care of His Majesty's rain... Don't you know? ”
I didn't know what was going on outside while I was in a shelter doing body and vagrancy.
"The nobles of the kingdom, of course, and the envoys of other nations are present. I heard that most of them were accompanied by the spirits of a family called me in their own country. His Majesty will take one of them in the rain of His Majesty...”
When I heard that, I couldn't sit still any longer.
I got up and tried to enter the king's residence right away, but others came to me.
It was Siorin.
“Sire, at this banquet...”
“Get out!”
I threw out Siorin with a grip that would make Bonamana sound unspeakable.
Then again, Princess Tutton came to me.
“I thought the Duke of Seymour, who was called the greatest knight in the West, would be different."
“Isn't it good for you? ”
“Yes, but I'm not feeling well. But my uncle's face was uglier than I thought. ”
“Is that what you have to say to other people? ”
“What do you say? I saw all the bottoms anyway. ”
“If anyone listens, they'll be close. ”
I tried to tell you that the princess was hurt.
“I thought of His Majesty very closely, but it was my own idea. ”
“I told you not to act in front of me. ”
“I wish you were like any other man. If you had, you wouldn't have treated me as cold as you do now. ”
She smiled and asked when she was gloomy.
“It doesn't work. Tell me more than that. I'm not here to brag about my own knight. ”
When I asked her what she was doing, she started smoking a different song and suddenly hung up the wrong words.
A princess of a kingdom has a bad rumor.
He also said that after he wiped his makeup, he had a face.
Some infants have a nasty personality, so they can't find a place to live in their own country.
I was impressed by her actions that add up to a story I don't even know.
“That's what it is. What should I do?”
Even if she asks irritatingly, instead of answering, she hears the stories of women I have not heard for a long time.
“It's a big deal, because you told me that my appearance wasn't very impressive anyway. Because I'm the only one who can't. ”
“I don't know what the hell you want to say. ”
“I just don't want to be fooled by things like the fox that hid me. ”
The princess said a lot more than I could say, and I left.
“What is this...”
As I frowned and kicked my tongue, I went straight to the king's crib.
“Your Majesty is on his way. ”
The king never met me.
I found the king a few more times.
“Your Majesty is tired and submerged. ”
“Your Majesty has just gone to bed...”
Every now and then, the king never met me with such a flattering excuse.
I shuddered at betrayal.
Damn it, I didn't let you live like this.
