Price of Management

But the late Duron praises me for that.

In my previous life, I wanted to put myself on the stage of history as a bystander of history.

It's also the next superstition that will drive history.

I was afraid of it.

What can I do if I put myself on top of the turbulence of that cruel history?

Wouldn't it be swept away by the turbulence?

I want to live my life to the fullest, I want to live my life to the fullest, but what can I do about being afraid at the same time?

Do you really think that Duke Duron is capable of handling that?

After much thought, I opened my mouth.

“I have a question for you. ”

“Tell me.”

“What aspect of me did you see and appreciate? ”

“You can hear three things. ”

Duke Duron continues without hesitation.

“First of all, I had a great eye for the future. ”

I know the future. I couldn't say it was my ability.

“Secondly, I know how to judge and deal with you. And finally, the third... ”

Duke Duron keeps saying, placing his hands on my shoulders.

“You know how to present your vision. Do you remember the day you asked me what I had to do to resurrect the Kingdom of Leaden? ”

“Yes.”

“Then you showed me the way to go. It's about whether you're right or wrong. The important thing is that you planted faith in me. ”

I was surprised to see two more advantages besides predicting the future.

“Then let's get this straight. I know how to see, I know how to deal with people, I know how to present my vision. It's a virtue enough to be a trophy. ”

“Am I... really like that?" ”

“Don't be afraid to fail. If you are blamed for your lack of abilities for your incompetence, say so. I was given permission by Philip Duron to fail. ”

Suddenly, I felt an unknown hot feeling.

This is how the late Philip Duron trusts me. Not just me who knows the future, but me, Caroc Kunt himself.

“Then I look forward to a good answer. ”

The late Duron is gone.

I lay alone in bed thinking a lot.

Earl Duron's words linger in his brain. It's okay to fail, f....

After a while, I was able to make a decision.

Yeah, it is.

It's okay to fail.

This country is doomed, after all.

I'll be the heir to the Duke of Duron, and I'll ruin this country or I'll fry it!

Let's do it. I'm trying to decide if I'm worthy of it.

Can you persuade the Horn Emperor or not?

* * *

The next day.

Eventually, I accepted the mission.

Once I decided to do this, I became curious about the Horn Emperor.

It would be a meaningful experience to see the face of the preliminary conqueror who eats half the continent in the future as well as this country.

And in addition to meeting the expectations of the late Duron, I had a more important duty.

As Duke Meutt's disciple, Rick is practicing his sword.

If I were to truly accept King Erik's lightning offer and work for the crown, it would be to protect House Kunt and prevent Brother Rick's death.

So this is our chance to check out the Young Emperor of the Horn Empire.

You have to know your enemy to win.

Anyway, a few preparations were needed before we left for the Horn Empire.

Ready for what?

Shouldn't we be prepared for the success of persuading the Horn Emperor and negotiating passage through the Baden River?

The Horn Empire!

Although the image of a barbaric military state is very large and there are cultural environments that must be called, the Horn Empire is still a very large country.

The land is large and has a large population. And there is always a shortage of supplies, including food.

Once the trade tax negotiations on the Baden River are concluded, the market entry into the Horn Empire should also be resilient.

From now on, you can get a lot of supplies in advance and then export them to make a high profit. I'm the only merchant who knows this information.

Of course, if the negotiations are not finalized, all the pre-stocked quantities will become unnecessary and will put pressure on me, but I think this is likely to work. Even for the Horn Empire, it benefits if the toll on the Baden River decreases.

It only takes one thing.

Emperor of the Horn Empire.

He's a man I can't judge lightly, so I don't know how to get out.

Anyway, we have a good chance to make some money, so we need to move fast.

I quickly took my quill and wrote a letter down on the paper.

"Dear Julia,

Are you earning hard money? You'll always be full of complaints, but don't be too hard on the staff.

To cut a long story short, we need food and supplies for export to the Horn Empire. (This is a secret) We may soon have a chance to enter the Horn Empire. You should put 20,000 Redinas in the fund.

Anyway, points are food and supplies.

I know there are many products that can yield higher returns (munitions, luxuries, etc.), but it is still food and necessities. You'll find out why.

Tell Hansen to get the herbs for export to the Horn Empire.

P.S. I've come a long way. In the meantime, you take good care of my sheath. My cis is precious.

- Great Lord Caroc, whom you admire very much.

Well, good. It's prestigious.

I sent this letter to Lord Kunt by a man.

That afternoon, I was formally appointed as the Lion of the Kingdom of Ledon. But the problem of the Baden River itself was a secret project, so I had to act in secret as well.

Therefore, the attendant was limited to one bodyguard. It is because the number of attendants will attract the attention of others, so that this can be communicated to people after school.

A situation within the royal court where the forces of the aftermath have infiltrated and King Erik is unable to exert his power properly.

It was Earl Randall Spay, deputy commander of the Royal Knights who decided to protect me instead.

“Hey, it's been a while. I heard you drank Queens Blood before, except for me. Was it good?”

“Tell me, what are you doing? I killed him.”

“Ugh! Why didn't you call me?!" ”

Randall manipulated my neck with tightness.

“Protest against the king. ”

“I protested! It didn't even work! It's been a long time since I've had enough vengeance against you! ”

The royal authority of this country.

The wagon was to be driven by an old wagon in the early 60s. He was an old man accustomed to camping because his mouth was heavy and experienced.

So we set out west, towards the Horn Empire, a military empire.

* * *

In my previous life, I spent half my life as a merchant of the Horn Empire nationality.

The Horn Empire has wiped out half the continent, including our kingdom.

After being subjugated to the Horn Empire, of course, the Kingdom of Ledon was installed and governed by the Governor, but it was still recognized as a separate land from the Horn Empire. Officially, they are the Horn Empire, but people still think they are from Le Dun Kingdom.

It is because the cultural differences from the Horn Empire are too large to be fully integrated.

The smart Horn Empire steered the way to indirect notification by the Governor, knowing that if cultural differences were to be forcibly absorbed, local revolts would also increase.

Well, it doesn't matter now.

Anyway, living in the system of being subjugated to the Horn Empire, I naturally became a merchant and learned a lot of common sense about the Horn Empire.

In the Kingdom of Leaden, the Horn Empire has been recognized only as the unknown land of the Barbarians.

But I am familiar with the culture and history of the Horn Empire. Perhaps I was the most suitable lion to be sent to the Horn Empire.

Since the road to the Horn Empire was very, very, very bored, I told Randall about the mutilation I knew. Randall listens to my story to see if he was curious.

“The Horn Empire was originally a small country in the Northwest. at a time when the Orient Kingdom ruled the Midwest as a great empire, and our Kingdom of Leaden did not exist. ”

“Ah, I've heard of that. But then a queen appeared and wiped out the kingdom of Orion, which was then a great empire, and took over. I heard that and I thought," What a girl. "”

“Yes. Her name was Isabella Hornt. ”

“Yes? Isabella? The Queen Isabella? ”

I nod, smiling at Randall with eyes wide.

“Yes, this is Queen Isabella, the protagonist of Queen's Blood. The one who suggested that I drain my blood when he recommended that I quit drinking. ”

“Oh! I knew you were a big drinker. ”

Earl Randall Spain fits into the category of a larger figure.

“And the man who advised me to give up drinking was the god of war, the Duke of Crocente Bezalius, who made the Horn Empire what it is today. ”

“Duke Bezalius? I've heard that guy's name before. ”

Of course you do.

It's a name that comes naturally to the Knight family when studying mercenary arts and war history.

“Duke Crocente Bezalius was originally a minor family and fortunately became Queen Isabella's booma. ”

“Oh, what a case of meeting a woman and lightning strikes. Sometimes I have friends like that. ”

“Yes, but in history, Queen Isabella met a man well and became an immortal queen. He is a remarkable man who stood on the battlefield and subdued the nomads of the South and defeated Orient armies to build the current Horn Empire. ”
