Price of Management

The time has come to negotiate, and we have paid the price to leave for the Baden River.

The members headed for the negotiation were very glamorous.

First and foremost, King Erik.

It's been a long time since I've held a sword since I've been an identity, but I was once King Erik of the Intermediate Exports.

Young and active, King Eric prefers to ride by himself rather than a wagon.

By the way, I heard that not long ago, when I came to our territory to buy 40,000 sacks of wheat, I didn't even get on a wagon.

King Erik refuses the carriage and rides on his white horse.

It was not just because of his taste.

The negotiations were held together by the rulers of the Midwest continent.

Their intention was to show them a robust yet energetic young image.

Well, I was certainly envious of the Orient King who wanted to be a strong monarch.

Ah-ha-ha.

But because of that, the old Chancellor decided to stay in the palace.

He had no strength to travel a long way without a wagon, and had to take care of government work instead of King Eric.

Jeron, who has been assigned to the new administration of the treasury (I'm sorry to hear that), has decided to stay and help out.

Me and Louie decided to accompany King Erik, and each of us prepared a message.

The escort was commissioned by Earl Randall Spay, deputy commander of the Royal Knights.

Now that I've got that liquor coming, you'll be groaning for me to make good wine again.

And most of all, this guy.

Among our group, there was someone more conspicuous than King Erik.

“To see you, Your Majesty. ”

“Duke Meutt! Welcome aboard! ”

King Eric welcomed Duke Meutt.

“Jim's making trouble for the Duke. ”

“I just wanted to see an emperor of the Horn Empire. ”

Duke Meutt was still solemn in his words.

King Erik shouts to the rest of the party.

“Duke Meutt is here, and here we go! All hands on deck! ”

He began to run vigorously whipping the horse. Duke Meutt is behind me and Louis are behind me.

“Let's go! Yay! ”

Only after Deputy Chief Randall left did the knights of the Royal Knights begin running in unison.

Unlike our free-running cages, the Royal Knights surround the group and form an escort.

Aside from me and Louie, everyone else had a good level of riding. He too is a skilled person who has mastered martial arts one by one, except the two of us.

Louie has a strong ego, so she doesn't want to see him struggling, so she rides the horse with a straight face.

But I could imagine Louis would have a hard time working as a royal steward.

And why is that?

I'm in trouble, too!

Ah...

I want to fly in the Earth Hand.

However, the young monarch was riding hard, and one baron, or bird, was not able to ride the palm of his flying hand in a tumult. I also wanted to keep it a secret for a while.

Then I suddenly had a good idea.

That's right.

Why don't we call Woundee?

“Wounded!”

- Yeah!

Wounded appears from the air.

“Heal them whenever they're tired. ”

- Yeah, Dad.

Wounded sat on my head. My cuties love my overhead.

Since then, Woundee has healed anyone who sometimes looks tired.

The first to be healed was me and Louie. Louie looks down slightly at me, thanking me.

Horses, not just humans, saw the healing effect of Woundee.

Thanks to that, we were able to move very quickly. It was truly a march speed comparable to the nomads of the Horn Empire.

Thanks to you, I didn't slow down at all even after dark.

“Haha! It's been so long since I've run like this! Thanks to you, Duke Kunt. ”

King Erik starts calling me Birch without hesitation because he has nothing more to hide.

I also said with a smile.

“You're welcome, Your Majesty. ”

“Your spirit is truly divine. If I make the wine delicious, it will keep me healthy even after running all day long. I don't want to go camping if I feel the same way. I want to go all night. ”

“You can do that, then. ”

“Haha, it's a shame I can't run because I can't see when it gets dark. ”

“Your Majesty, did you just leave me by your side to worry about that? ”

King Erik makes a curious face, I say.

I summoned the Salamander.

“Salamander! Clear a path! ”

I said it solemnly because it was in front of everyone else.

Not long ago, I evolved into an intermediate spirit, so Salamander who could read my mind did not smoke, but followed me gently.

Glug glug!

It was a rare spectacle.

Thirty torch-sized fireballs were lined up, illuminating the path ahead of us.

“Oh!”

“Oh, my God! ”

“Amazing animisty! ”

Knights of the Royal Knights were greatly impressed. The fireballs even looked majestic because they were plunged like a blessing in front of the king.

I shouted curiously.

“Your Majesty! Don't you have any intention of establishing one at this time?" ”

“What kind of work? ”

“Fastest sprint from Ledon Castle to the Baden River! Stamina is the responsibility of this spirit, Caroc Kunt. ”

Knights of the Royal Knights, including Randall, glitter at my words. Mobility is the second most important thing after swordsmanship for knights on horseback. It was an honor to break through from the Kingdom of Leaden to the River Baden at an unprecedented rate.

King Erik smiles brightly, eager to become a knight of the Expert class.

“Very well! I say so, and if you don't accept it, you'll become a woman of burden! ”

“Oh!”

Enthusiastically accommodating Royal Knights.

“Let's go! We won't rest until breakfast tomorrow! ”

“Old!”

So we ran like a storm. I crossed the darkness in the light of the Salamander. The deeper the night, the more frequently Wounded heals.

But I was a higher spirit.

My spiritual affinity was so overwhelming that I could run for a week like this.

Of course, running a whole week of undenes and salamanders made me suspicious that I would be a higher spirit. I was going to run until tomorrow afternoon, sighing and pretending to be tired.

The next morning, after running all night, we left and stopped for the first time.

While the knights were preparing for camp, I sat back and rested.

Then Duke Meutt suddenly approached me.

I stood up and bowed my head.

“Duke. ”

“Have a seat.”

“Yes.”

We sat face to face.

“Apparently, you've done a lot. ”

“I'm ashamed.”

“I gave you some advice the other day. ”

I remembered what Duke Meutt advised me to remember.

“Be complete.”

Duke Meutt asked.

“Is it complete now? ”

I laughed.

“Yes, at least we're closer to perfection than ever. ”

I could tell you that for sure.

Jeron Deckard, Louie Concern, Patrick Condol, and Harden and Richard Buck who just recruited them.

Those with radiant talents that could be the flavor of the age were gathered around me.

If you look at them, you will have faith that you can make a better destiny than before.

“I see.”

Duke Meutt nods. His silent and solemn personality did not make a lot of faces, but I could see that he was satisfied.

Lanchel Castle.

The centre of Earl Ranzhel, just to the left of the great fortress, is the river Baden, creating a beautiful landscape.

Inside the massive walls is a luxurious port city with a rich logistics hub, so merchant ships passing by the Baden River are actively approaching.

Outside the castle, there were also large expanses of houses and fields for the settlers.

A well-paved road passed by the wagon without rest.

Merchants from across the Baden River were constantly on the move to sell goods to the Kingdom of Leaden. It was a good representation of how prosperous the landscape was.

However, today there was heavy tension in this noisy city.

No one was unaware that Castel Castle was captured by the Horn Empire.

In the meantime, you set up an imperial flag and march as if seen by the hordes of the Horn Empire.

The luxurious carriage drawn by eight sturdy black horses must belong to the emperor of the Horn Empire. After that, the greatest knights of the Horn Empire, Emperor Knights, were also sufficiently breathtaking.

Everyone was anxious because they thought they were the enemy.

At the gate of Castle Ranzhell, where they are headed, there is an encounter with soldiers, including Earl Ranzhell.

The fancy carriage of the Horn Imperial Court stops, and the carriage door opens. In it, a middle-aged man with a long sword comes down first.

Then the young man slowly walked out.

Yawin size.
