The eyes of the king, who was looking down at the fountain pen, shined once. The same was true of Ofelia.

On the other hand, the approximations around the king have not changed their faces at all. With a well-forged weapon, you wouldn't even care about a pen that uses literature.

But they'll find out soon enough. Sometimes the pen can be stronger than the knife.

The king, who was watching the fountain pen for a moment, opened his mouth.

“This... is the first thing I've seen. But I'm used to it somewhere. It's quite similar to the pen Ophelia received the other day. ”

“A fountain pen that feels more elegant than a ballpoint pen. This product was developed by a company called Mathis. ”

“By the way, I heard Duke Midas just got a wonderful pen. Something like that. ”

“That's right. It's more refined, to be exact. Mathis' master was unable to attend the party, so he asked me to advance to His Majesty through me. ”

Rather, I could say it because it was a locker room. Nothing good will come of the story of an upgrade to the duc. I want to applaud Ophelia's sense of relocation.

“What a remarkable mind. ”

The king nods satisfactorily and sweeps his beard once. Then, my thick hands snapped.

“Sir, please get up and come closer. ”

“Take orders. ”

On my feet, I came to the foothills of the king. But I couldn't get close anymore. It was a middle-aged man who appeared to be the commander of the guard.

No one else can bring me near the king without a one-sided meal.

I didn't say I felt bad because I had a strong professional spirit.

The commander reaches out.

“A token for the king. Be careful not to drop. ”

The commander of the guard picked up the fountain pen and sent it to the king.

It's time to look at the reactions.

Henry III pulled out the fountain pen from the wooden case.

Seeing your fingertips tremble, you seem to be getting old. He glanced down with a fountain pen in his hand.

“I heard you can write without having to take ink. Is it true?”

“The cartridge is built into the fountain pen, so you can store ink and use it when you need it. You can write comfortably without having to carry around an inkcan. No more accidental spills of ink cans. ”

“Bring me the paper. ”

The acolyte beside him immediately fulfilled his command. This is the royal palace. The materials used were of the same quality and the paper prepared was of considerable quality.

The king wrote with a fountain pen in his hand.

You hear a faint pen that squeaks. Obviously the quality of the paper is good, so I feel like the pen sound has also been upgraded to a new level.

I smiled at the mouth of the king who had tried writing like this.

Is it working?

“I like you very much. I don't write a lot, but this is definitely cool stuff. It may not be big and fancy, but it seems to contain human wisdom. ”

It contains human wisdom, and it is true. That's what technology is.

“Take it.”

The king handed the fountain pen to Princess Ophelia. I was slightly surprised by the unexpected behavior, but I thought it was Princess Ofelia's birthday today.

Then the king said.

“Ofelia, this should be good for your birthday. ”

“But this is a genuine product for Avama, right? ”

“How much will I write if I write? So make yourself useful. I heard you've been working hard at the Academy lately. It will help you study. ”

“Yay! Thank you! ”

Princess Ofelia did not refuse, but took the fountain pen. The king smiling satisfactorily turned his gaze back to me.

“Not only this fountain pen, but the company that Ophelia gave me the ballpoint pen called Mathis. ”

“That's right. It's an honor to remember. Your Majesty."

The name Mathis seems to be engraved deep into the brain of the king.

That's a good sign. Now that I've made a deal with the Duke of Bahamut, it'll be a lot easier if the king gives me a little more power.

“I hear you're a family heir to the Adeline family, and you're related to Mathis. Without it, I wouldn't be able to deliver a genuine product instead. ”

“I'm in charge of torture at Mathis. He also works as a butler in the Adeline family. ”

“I see. You'll have to tell the master of the party, Mathis, that I've been well received." ”

“I'll do as I'm told."

The king spread out his arms. And as I said,

“And tell them to work diligently on various inventions for our kingdom. Commercial revival is the shortcut to wealth in the country, so you should try without rest. ”

I bow my head in absolute obedience.

Only on the outside, of course.

I'm not interested in the progress of the kingdom. My first priority is to grow my company. You may be eager to transfer your headquarters to another kingdom if you receive too much tax or interfere with your business.

It used to happen in the world I lived in.

“I cannot help but admire the grace of His Majesty. I'll tell everyone from Mathis. ”

“Good. I like it. You should step back and enjoy the party. ”

“The castle is doomed. Your Majesty."

After the fountain pen came to an end, I took another example and left the locker room. But Ophelia closed the door without following me.

Instinctively, I feel like there's something going on, and I'm walking around nearby, pulling up my hearing.

- What do you think?

- Yes, he seems very clever. My eyes were alive, as if I was looking at my youth. He is going to be big.

A fairly unexpected story was developing. I think that's my story.

- Can everyone please leave? I need to talk to Avamamma!

- Do as Ofelia says.

Immediately the door opened and the guards began to come out one by one. Finally, I made it to the Knight Leader. All the knights are out.

This makes it even more exciting.

What are you two girls trying to talk about? My ears were clearer.

― I think if I use Mathis well, the people of my kingdom will be able to live a more glossy life.

Oops. My voice has changed. Just like before at the banquet, he showed his true colors.

- You saw the ballpoint pen, right? There's never been a merchant guild that made anything like that. Everyone's only interested in spending money. But there are convenient items from a long time ago in the city. in a little company called Mathis.

The princess then began enumerating the advantages of the objects she was trying to develop in Mathis. Paper as well as office and living supplies.

I had to recruit the princess as a salesman, but I was considering the value of our goods. I'll give you 10 out of 10 points.

- So we have to use Mathis well. to make them absolutely loyal to the crown. That way our kingdom can expand. It's time to show our superiority to the entire continent.

Superiority? No way... Was it a woman Hitler?

- It's not as easy as it sounds. Merchants are bright. If you have to go, you have to come.

- There's only one way to clear a debt.

- What is it?

- Mathis is in trouble. The Astrians provoked us, and we ran into trouble on the trade routes. It's also a bad place to buy because our headquarters is in Adeline. If the border is blocked at this rate, we'll lose power.

The silence subsides for a moment. As the girl with the tray passed by, I summoned her. The servant politely handed me the cup.

I continued to focus on the dialogue within, smelling the luxurious aroma of wine.

- The pus that was filled with wounds has finally burst.

- What do you mean?

- It happens. You have nothing to think about.

I think the king knows about the incident that happened 500 years ago.

But it's a little weird.

The princess had abandoned her appearance and was analyzing the phenomenon like a soldier. Nevertheless, the king did not point out that part.

It was the king who told the princess to show her uplifted appearance because she was no longer young. That's why the attitude of the king was suspicious.

I hope the princess doesn't fall into the category of heir. Talking about politics so comfortably means we're in a unique position.

I think I should investigate their relationship once in a while.

- Anyway, bring it on. If the rear is this confused, it's no good for the royal family. When she wakes up, her power will weaken and she will tolerate foreign invasion.

- But it's not easy. Like an old bottle doesn't heal in one day. There are two family representatives here, so I'll talk to them carefully.

― Do you think it will go well?

Her voice was skeptical. I think so, too.

- Honestly, I don't think so. If the ranchers come and talk to me, it'll be okay...... Since my sons are here instead, there will be limits.

- You'll be groaning at the main house if you ask.

The king laughed. There is a sound of muttering, and the king is generous.

- Now, get out of here. The protagonist of the party shouldn't be gone so long. Everyone will be looking for you. Don't miss your chance.

- Okay, well, get some rest.

Opportunity for what?

Bark, the door opens and the princess comes out. Seeing me leaning against the wall, I look at my drink and smile.

“Sir Dylan! I thought you said you were dancing with Ella. It looked like my brother was having an affair. Why are you doing this here? Let's go dance!”

I came back with an evil voice.

I suddenly remembered a moment ago when I revealed myself to Confucius Hamel, and he was angry to do just one thing. I think I know how he feels.

“I just wanted to say thank you again. If it weren't for Her Royal Highness, I wouldn't be able to post the merchandise to His Majesty. ”

The princess shook the fountain pen before my eyes.

“I finally got my hands on it! Can I give it back if I need it?”

“Don't you need it? ”

“Honestly, I feel more comfortable with a ballpoint pen. ”

That's right. Even with inventive motivation, ballpoint pens are designed to improve the weaknesses of the fountain pen. You're young. You're young.

“I've already left my hand because it's a genuine gift for His Majesty. Keep it as a souvenir. ”

“Then shall we dance? ”

“It's so sudden. ”

“No?”

“I'm honored… but I'm having trouble with a partner. ”

“Too bad. One dance and Adeline and Astria and the two families will stop fighting for a while.”

The princess who said that laughed.

Are you threatening me?

I think the princess wants to train me. For use as a good hunting dog. But because of that, my bowl is not small.

“You may think you're arrogant, but I have a hand I haven't pulled out yet. ”

“I wonder what that is. ”

I'm not lying.

The moment I confirmed that the princess really wanted to get to know Sapiella, I came up with a good idea.

“You'll find out soon enough. Excuse me, Your Highness. Congratulations again on your birthday. ”

I went to Sapiella, who was waiting for me, leaving the princess's sad gaze behind. She was still surrounded by men.

“You've waited a long time. Are you ready to go up?”

I pointed to the stage, and Sapiella smiled and took my hand out of the myriad.
