Price of Management

It started snowing two days after I left for Leaden Castle in my wagon.

The white snow settles on the ground like a cotton wool, and suddenly the field is all white.

When I saw the white field without question, I felt sorry for leaving a wheelchair trail on it.

I sat in the carriage seat and watched the landscape with the spirits.

I was the only one in the wagon.

Then who's driving the wagon?

That's what our little gnome is driving.

After the dramatic increase in spiritual affinity, I was able to summon spirits, including gnome, all day long.

The gnome who was obsessed with horseback riding was a single, elongated person. Surprisingly, even the horses pulling the wagon followed Nome well.

Woundee used to sit on my head and occasionally restore the horses' fatigue.

The salamander sat on my knees and served as a furnace. When I hold her, I feel hot and cold. But he had a face full of heartache to see if he didn't like the snowy weather.

While I was sleeping, the three spirits continued to drive horses. This was possible because the spiritual affinity recovered while sleeping was higher than the spiritual affinity used to summon the spirits.

The horses drive their wagons all day, but Undyne recovers their fatigue and makes a steady move.

Thanks to you, I was able to get to Leaden Castle very quickly.

- Dad, we're here.

Norm the Horseman said.

“Yes. Let's go inside. ”

I returned the salamander. It was because the troubled Salamander didn't know what the fuss was about.

As you reach the gate, the soldiers stand in front of you to confirm your identity.

The soldiers find the gnome sitting on the carriage seat, and their faces turn dull.

- My father is Baron Caroc Kunt.

The figure of a twelve-year-old girl naturally said that her body was glowing golden. It wasn't hard for the soldiers to get confused.

I, who was in the wagon, took out my ID and showed it out the window. After confirming this, the soldiers hurriedly greeted and cleared the way.

Norm continues to drive the wagon into the castle.

The same thing happened when I entered the palace.

- Baron Caroc Kunt.

The soldiers in the Royal Guard were momentarily embarrassed by the words of gnome sitting in the carriage seat.

However, they seemed to have been informed in advance of me, also known as the Spirit. The soldiers nod.

“I will report to the king. Wait in the tangential room.”

-Yeah.

Noon, who is connected to my mind, stood up for me and drove the wagon into the palace.

Huh, this is fun. I will often appoint Gnome as my agent.

You step off the wagon, placing gnome and unde on your shoulders, and step inside the palace. I had already been in and out several times, so I could easily go to the tangential room.

After lying down on the couch in the tangential room, the maids came in.

“Are you Baron Carroc Kunt? ”

“Yes.”

“The king asked me to join him for dinner soon, and he told me to relieve my fatigue from the journey. We'll take you to the bath... ”

“Ah, I don't need it. ”

“Yes?”

After leaving the embarrassed maidens behind, I said to Woundee:

“Wounded. Shower and laundry. ”

-Yeah.

Woundee made a big puddle of water in the air and turned it over to me.

Uahhhhhh!

The blob of water turned around and washed my body thoroughly and made my clothes clean without stains.

I told the maidens who were astonished with their eyes wide open.

“Just get me a cup of tea. Earl Grey.”

“Oh, yes. ”

The maids resigned after greeting Huddak. Seeing the surprised faces like that, the spirit seemed to have never seen him before.

King Eric invited me to dinner, by the way.

The dinner is attended by all the royal family members.... It would be a place for King Erik's queen and children to face each other.

Perhaps King Erik wanted to make my relationship more prosperous.

I think you're going to work hard because you want to be with me, but this is a concern. It's hard to refuse when you offer a lamp like that with extreme care.

Look at Marquis Duron. King Erik's relentless love call finally got him a job at that old age. King Erik's efforts to acquire talent have been persistent.

* * *

Dinner was attended by one of King Eric's family, Earl Duron, and myself.

King Erik had a family of 22-year-old queens and a two-year-old little prince.

Queen Siena stretched her long blonde hair and her skin was as white as milk. The white dress went so well with the white skin.

Queen Siena has long been renowned as the finest beauty in the Kingdom of Leaden. In my past life, I was famous for my beautiful woman's pronoun.

He said he was kind and caring, and that he always had a fresh smile, so he rang a lot of men instead of looking at him. When she became King Erik's woman, there were two orders of magnitude men who cried on the ground.

Her appearance was so beautiful that even I couldn't take my eyes off her, holding Prince Giren, who was two years old. She was as beautiful as she thought she would be when compared to Sisna Julia.

It is such an honor to see that beautiful woman as she was told only by words.

“Be careful, Your Majesty. Looks like Baron Kunt is eyeballing me. ”

I scratch my head at the evil jokes of Duke Duron.

“Oh, my God, did you get caught? ”

King Erik bursts into laughter.

“Hahaha! Please be patient, Baron Kunt. ”

“It was a mistake to invite me to dinner, Your Majesty. ”

Queen Siena blushes in our conversation. What a beautiful woman.

But I was not careless.

Having Earl Duron at my dinner meant that something important would come up.

You should also look at the placement of the seats.

Rarely, I used a round dining table to set the table free.

In the center of King Erik is me and Earl Duron on the right and Queen Siena and Prince Giren on the left.

But what if I look at it from my point of view?

King Erik and Marquis Duron pressurize me on both sides, and Queen Siena stumbles across the snow. The best beauty in the kingdom that any man can fall in love with is sitting in front of me.

What does this placement mean?

I was in a position to do something incredibly difficult. A brother who whips me on both sides and gives me carrots by the pretty Queen Siena in front of him?

“Sienna. Don't be surprised by Baron Kunt's talent. You'll be able to taste fantastic wine today. ”

Eric told Queen Siena.

“Oh my, are you sure? ”

Queen Siena looks at me with an anticipated face. Because it's facing each other, my eyes meet directly.

I can't believe I'm face to face with such a pretty face.

If the Duke of Meutt is the greatest knight in the realm, then the best beauty in the kingdom is Queen Siena.

She's a deadly beauty.

I couldn't keep my eyes on her and stay calm. I stared at the wine bottle in the ice bucket instead, avoiding my gaze.

It was' Queens Blood ’, a fantasy red wine I had drunk before. I think I just got another bottle.

We're all looking forward to it.

“Wounded.”

Moisture clumps into a puddle of water in the air, and a puff of Woundine appears.

As soon as Woundee was summoned, she glanced at me and kissed my cheek.

“Oh, no.”

“Gaaaah.”

Queen Siena looks surprised at the appearance of Wounded, and the two-year-old prince reaches out with a twinkle in his eyes.

“Woundee, please. ”

-Yeah.

Undine, who read my thoughts, releases her findings toward Queens Blood.

La-lak!

The red wine in the bottle spins, creating a small whirlpool. Removing any fine foreign matter that clouded the precipitate or taste, followed by a work that breathed the energy of recovery.

As Queens Blood's flavor is being upgraded, Earl Duron tilts his head to look at Wounded.

“Baron Kunt. I remember that spirit being smaller than it is now, didn't I? ”

“Oh, yes. You recognize it. It just evolved into an Intermediate Spirit. ”

“Oh, did the spirit of the earth make the water spirit an intermediate spirit? Congratulations!”

“Thank you."

King Erik was surprised at our conversation.

“Two intermediate spirits at that age. Baron, how long have you been practicing spirituality? ”

“It's been a little over two years now. ”

“Hurrah!"

“Is that true? ”

Everyone looks frightened.

I was somewhat embarrassed by their reactions. In fact, all I did was play around with my cuties...

“You've gotten that far in such a short time. You're a genius at animosity now. ”

I'm embarrassed by King Erik's admiration and shake my head.

“It's not fair. Aesthetics doesn't have much to do with talent or effort. I was just enjoying hanging out with the spirits, and I was fortunate enough to make quick progress. ”

“I see. I can't believe how beautiful and cute these kids are. ”

Queen Siena said, looking at Wounded as if she was very lovable.

“Come on. By the way, let's start enjoying the wine. How long do you intend to keep this old man waiting? ”

“Haha! So is he. Let's get this meal started. ”
