I returned to my room after the spiritual child finished bathing and went to bed.

I walked the curtain and looked out.

The wagon from the royal palace was still there in the space where it could be stopped. The wagon is inspecting the horse, and the guards are guarding it.

“Are we still on for dinner? ”

That can't be right.

I checked the time. It was past 11: 00 at night. Even a feast doesn't last this long.

That is proof that things are going well.

If we hadn't found a settlement or found nothing, we would have said goodbye already.

“Looks like your work is going well. ”

I was about to conclude that Confucius Hamel's lobby was working properly, but I needed concrete evidence. I went outside for a moment to call the gatekeeper.

“Is there anything you need? ”

“Go down and see what the dinner looks like. Don't go inside. Ask the people around you. ”

“Yes, Sir Dylan. ”

The soldier moves quickly. A few moments later, he leaps forward with unexpected news.

“The feast is over, but the princess is in solitary with Prince Hamel. ”

“The manger? Where? ”

“I am Prince Hamel's chambers. ”

“ ……. ”

Why aren't you in the reception room? When you are greeting guests, in the reception room....

At that moment, I remembered different possibilities.

I checked some meaningful characteristics in the status window of the Princess earlier, and I think I know what the two of you are doing. Why you chose a bedchamber.

“I see. Well done. ”

“Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you! ”

“Yes."

I came back into the room.

“I didn't expect the Confucius to go that far. ”

Maybe the princess is literally devoted to both her body and mind. I walked around the room for a while, thinking about it, stood in front of the mirror, checked the clothesline, and left the room.

Where I was headed was the residence of Prince Hamel.

However, knights have been camping since the entrance of the hall. I saw some Adeline knights, but most of them were Royal Guard knights.

As expected, there was Lord Casiopea at the forefront.

As I approached, she came forward.

“Sir Dylan. Just in time. How's Miss Sapiella? ”

“You must be exhausted. You're not sick, but you seem to be accumulating blood. And now you're in bed. ”

“I'm glad.”

Lord Casiopea's eyes changed a bit. Looks like Eluna's quilted supplies are working properly. She said with a slightly excited expression.

“I'm sorry I ended up at the sword today, but next time, let's have a proper duel. Come with Arthurs and I'll show you the Royal Guard Headquarters. ”

“Thank you for the invitation. We'll be with Arthur next time we get a chance. ”

I didn't say I'd take the fight, so I'll get around to it later.

Of course, she's not afraid to run away from a duel. I didn't have to. I don't want to show my strength in useless places.

“Great. We'll wait for that day. By the way, thank you for your gift. Where did you get such good stuff? There was nothing I disliked about it. ”

It's refreshing to hear stories like this from 37 people.

Eluna's eyes are unmatched. She's a descendant of the Elves. Plus, Quilt is one of Eluna's main disciplines. Humans and Elves are incomparable.

I bow politely.

“I'm glad you're happy with your gift. Let's talk in more detail next time. ”

“Of course.”

“I was able to get a little enlightenment through the sword. Thank you."

I shook his hand in gloves. I need to check on something. Fortunately, Casiopea took off her gauntlet and shook his hand.

I had a slight increase in appeal to 25. A few lines of interest were added to it. He wants to try the quilted ingredients I gave him right away.

It doesn't really help to increase my liking. Unless you've decided you want to impress him.

I want to be clear right now that I am not of the slightest rational interest, even if Lord Casiopea is a magnificent hermit.

He's just an experiment.

It is very important to create data on how to use traits and interests to increase appeal. It's a professional experiment. Human resources are key to what I'm trying to do. I'm not trying to seduce you.

Anyway, thank you for being such a valuable subject. Lord Casiopea, I will not forget your efforts.

“Then why are you all here? ”

I pretended not to know what I was doing and asked her. Again, she gives a vague look to see if she doesn't understand this unexpected situation.

“The princess has something to say to Prince Hamel for a moment. He ordered no one to come near him. ”

“Oh dear, I have to report something to the Confucius. It's embarrassing.”

“I'm sure your business will be done soon, so please wait. ”

I didn't like the overwhelming tone, but I took a step back because I had a real purpose anyway.

The attention of the knights naturally got away from me. In the end, Cassiopeia was no longer interested in my side.

At that moment, I slightly raised Mana and focused on her hearing. Then I turned that direction towards Prince Hamel's bedchamber door.

Spilling Mana on your hearing requires application. If you do not filter, it is meaningless to enhance your hearing. It all sounds so loud.

Anyway, I could hear what was going on in the room.

I thought you might hear a slight groan, but the two of them were talking in a quiet tone.

- Are you going to empower me?

- What the princess wants is Alprost's throne. I will gladly surrender myself to the throne.

- He's trying to make a dangerous deal.

- Wouldn't a fruit grow that big?

There was a huge story going on, but I tried to keep my head down.

“That's Confucius Hamel. I need you to figure this out. ”

I went back to my room. It's time to make your next plan.

“In this situation, it's best to return to Adeline territory. ”

If trade with surrounding territories is blocked, you can focus on developing new products while building the company's interior.

“But once you're in the royal family, it's not a bad choice. There are some variables, but if things go according to plan, the situation is better than not going back now. ”

Even if I returned to the territory, I scheduled it after the Princess' birthday party.

There were several reasons, but also the biggest reason was to assist Confucius Hamel. He puts everything down and strives to please the princess. I didn't want to ruin it.

That's how desperate a succession is. His desperation seeps through the skin and into the bone.

But it's his life. It's not a matter of my deepest concern.

“Anyway, we have to seize this opportunity. You should see King John. What's the point of going into the palace if you can't? ”

A muttering voice lifts me up from my bed.

Thinking of meeting the king, I remembered the general fountain pen that Eluna brought a while ago.

“I had to test it to see if it was working, but I forgot. ”

The process of making the fountain pen is not sophisticated, so there is a possibility of defective products.

That's why we have put down instructions for taking enough notes and selling them before selling.

On second thought, I pulled out a wooden case filled with 10,000 pens from the drawer.

Opening the case, the fountain pen wrapped in a luxurious cloth revealed itself. I sat at my desk and formed a Demibeast and lit a candle with the magic of Flint.

A little brighter, and I took the pen out of the case and looked carefully.

“I think I just tweaked my body a little. ”

I felt a sense of otherness

It was not a bad sense of otherness, but rather a good sense of otherness. The body part was refined more delicately and the nib was slightly different from the original.

I hold the pen in my hand.

“I feel a little better about the grip. ”

It was produced at the same time but seems to have made some changes.

Spinel was upgrading the product without me saying so.

Of course, it may be problematic to change the specs of marketed goods, but it is hard to see that the general fountain pen is sold as an unofficial route.

Moreover, there was no standard at the time. It's not the time to be filmed in a factory.

Since the era of craftsmanship is central to the same design, it is a routine era where errors occur and objects with a slightly different feeling appear even if they have the same drawing.

I'm not going to press charges for a little variation.

“Let's give it a try. ”

There was always paper on the desk. The quality is lower than the playback paper compared to where I live, but writing was not a big problem.

I started taking notes with the nib on the paper.

Scraper.

I like the feel of a pen running on paper. But there was still a regret. The quality of the paper seems to have fallen a little bit, so the sensation of the fountain pen that my previous life remembered was not 100 percent.

“When we get back to the territory, we'll need to develop more paper. ”

So I tested the product, consuming ink for a long time. Fortunately, no particular problem was found. Rather, it was good performance.

When I close the pen lid and put it back in, I hear a knock outside.

“Sir Dylan. Confucius Hamel is here. ”

“Take her.”

I quickly put the fountain pen in the drawer. At the same time, Confucius Hamel appeared. You look awkward.

“Are you feeling sick? ”

“I hung out with the princess for a while. You're tired in many ways. ”

“Have a seat over here. ”

I led him to the couch. He sighs and buries himself on the couch on his forehead.

“Can I get you some tea? ”

“All right, have a seat. ”

I behaved as he instructed. He twists his legs and says arrogantly.

“The princess has decided to help us. I think I can find a way to silence the Astrians sooner than I thought. ”

“That's a relief. The first Confucius must finish the job before he raises the ball on the battlefield. ”

“We have to try our best. ”

“Careful. I don't think you're worth it. Ambition. Be careful not to get eaten by ambitious people. ”

The princess nods bitterly.

“By the way, I want to hear your next plan. What do you think we should do if things calm down? ”

“After attending the Princess' birthday party, she is thinking of quitting her studies and returning to Adeline territory. ”

“Did Elda notice? ”

“I told you to be careful. ”

“Well done. Keep reciting. ”

“I need to go back and do something right away. It's about the second Confucius. ”

You are revitalized in the eyes of Confucius Hamel, and the gun flashes. Like someone who remembers what he forgot.
