Price of Management

However, according to my father's insistence, our family decided to hold a feast to celebrate Elena's birth.

Recently, the Kunt family has grown rapidly and has grown considerably in stature, so the banquet has decided to be held largely.

I decided to invite the entertaining acrobats, musicians, theaters, and dancers, and invite a skilled chef to give me the main dish of the banquet.

I made a large statue of my family in the courtyard of the mansion and decorated it.

Father, Arthur holding Elena, Rick, and myself.

My father was still cheerful with his sword, and Arthur and his husband were smiling happily together.

I chose to stand in a pose, looking up at the sky, dressed in a gorgeous red misrell coat. Well, it was a really nice statue. But let's make it look a little cooler.

“Noum, let's go a little taller. Keep your nose up a little bit. Please.”

- Yeah!

Norm quickly looked at my statue. Well, that's much better.

Anyway, the preparation was carried out in good faith under the direction of Brother Arthur. He was the most ordinary of the men of the Kunt family, but he was involved in the work early in his childhood, so he showed great leadership in this matter. Didn't I tell you? If it's not just you, I want to hire you as an employee.

And most importantly, it remains a matter of choosing a guest to invite to the banquet.

Because it was a matter of political personality, I also discussed it with Arthur.

“How many guests would you like to invite? ”

“Once upon a time, I would have invited only a few of the families that were related to my family and the families of the surrounding lands, but things are very different now. ”

“Yes. The rumors about you leading the Baden River have increased interest in our family." Your father made it to the top of Expert when he came. ”

“Once the royal family has received an invitation to all the major nobles. I'm close to the late King and Warden Duron, so I'm sure all the guests will be there. ”

“I see. Is there no one for you to invite to the Horn Empire or the Orion?" ”

“Hmm. There is no one on the Horn's side, and the Orion's side is tied to the crown and the Duke of Britain. ”

“But the Duke of Britain is one of the most prestigious ducs in the world. Perhaps you'd like to join us for our banquet. ”

“He'll be here. ”

I made sure of that.

“Are you that deeply in love with Duke Britain? ”

When Arthur asked, I sighed and said,

“You know I'm a higher spirit. I told you, I fought Duke Joel Briton. ”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk." Even if Duke Brighton doesn't come, he'll say hello to his son. ”

“Send an invitation to the Orient Kingdom as well, brother. We must forge an alliance with the Orient Kingdom, so we suggest building a peaceful mood. ”

“Got it. Any more invitations?" ”

I nodded.

“Yes, I do. Someone very important. ”

“Who are you?”

“Baron Jason Lanchel. ”

“Excuse me?”

Baron Jason Lanzhel. He was the eldest son of Earl Ranzhel and was the next heir to Earl Ranzhel.

“What are you going to do about inviting the key figures from post-school? Probably won't even accept the invitation. ”

“He'll be here. ”

“Why? ”

“Earl Ranzhel is ill, and Jason is clearly named heir by now. Soon you'll be a new housewife, and you'll want an opportunity to look into the political situation ahead of time. ”

“Mmmm... What are you up to? ”

“I intend to persuade him to turn his mind towards the royal family. And that's what will shake the landscape. The moment Earl Wolfgang Lanzhel leaves the stage is the perfect opportunity. ”

“Is that possible?”

“I don't know, but there's a chance. Jason is a man of a different disposition than his father, and he knows it. You know you can't be a post-school leader like your father, and you feel the need to navigate differently as long as negotiating the Baden River changes the political landscape. ”

“I see. I see. I'll send you an invitation. ”

“Thank you."

“What. You're a politician now, by the way. ”

Arthur gladly smiled at me. I scratched my head.

“You have to work hard as a young man. to retire early and play around early. ”

“Tsk, tsk, you still don't know what you're doing. I wasn't always like that, but I feel like a completely different person when I turn 18. ”

You didn't even know him that well.

Arthur carefully wrote the invitation. The content of the invitation varied depending on who it was. Since it was her birthday party, I overlooked her willingness to pay close attention.

I also wrote an invitation to help Arthur.

The completed invitation was immediately sent to the cavalry.

Finally, after completing all the invitations, Arthur got up, rubbing his pretty shoulder.

“It's finally over. I've never known it so hard to write an invitation. ”

“There weren't a lot of people to invite before. ”

“I want to celebrate quietly with my family in mind, but where would it be? I'm celebrating my daughter Elena, and I'm going to be on the political stage. ”

“I can't help it. We're nobles.”

“I see.”

Arthur laughed in relief.

The Orient Kingdom.

After yesterday's meeting, King Orwen summoned Duke Britain and Earl Raymond, who were his closest friends, to talk privately.

This is an informal meeting in which state operations are actually determined by those three.

It was the way King Orien has always taken it since he took the throne to the throne.

“It was Miss who was so focused on getting food. A continent over-produced grain, so the market hit bottom. It's not just loss. ”

The Orient King was very uncomfortable.

It was the Oriental royal family that suffered from food shortages after a series of catastrophic famines and blackness.

Since food was an important component of maintaining the military, King Orien set out this year's policy of securing large quantities of food early.

I paid in advance and released the funds in bulk in the spring by receiving food during the harvest season.

However, since it is autumn this year, all grains, including wheat, are during the Great Year.

All the lords focused their efforts on agriculture.

The price plummeted to the bottom, and the Orient royal family, which eventually paid in advance, bought food at an unbelievably expensive price.

As king of the Orions, my heart ached.

“If I could have predicted the price, none of this would have happened. ”

He was the king of Orion, whose economic side was missing a bright figure.

Then the Orient King suddenly remembered a figure.

“I see you have an invitation from the writer Kunt. ”

“If you're a Kunt writer, are you referring to the Karoc Kunt family? ”

Earl Raymond is interested.

“Yes. His niece was born. Well, as a courtesy, they've sent invitations to our royal family. Duke Britain, has your family been invited? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“I see. Oh, by the way, did he buy food this year? ”

Duke Britain shakes his head.

“Last winter, he bought 20,000 Redinarch groceries with food, but his groceries were larger than his, and he didn't even touch the food this year. The food and vital supplies you have secured have also been reported on trends in exporting to the Horn Empire. ”

Duke Britain operated several merchants, and intelligence networks were also spread across major countries.

So Duke Joel Briton was able to sit still and see what was happening all over the continent.

In addition to his ability as a master and his familiarity as a friend since childhood, he became the right-hand man of the king of Orion.

Of course, in recent years, the most notable figures of the Duke of Britain's network have been Emperor Kars and Carroc Kunt.

“The Horn Empire? ”

“Yes. The Horn Empire still lacks food and supplies. It looks like the Waves of the Baden River Passage negotiations have been settled, and they're headed that way. ”

The Orient King laughs in vain.

“You already know the outcome of last winter's negotiations and are preparing to make money. It's amazing.”

“It's not a normal bet. Somehow he was a quick friend from the first impression. ”

Earl Raymond is reluctant to recall the first time he met Carroc.

At that time, he was fooled by Carroc Kunt and had demonstrated that the Orient Kingdom had received an alliance offer from the Horn Empire.

“I need to get him into my arms fast. ”

I couldn't help but be a greedy human being.

You have the wisdom of a higher spirit. And yet he's only twenty-two years old.

If I could make someone like this a handful, I could pay for anything.

The Orient King was eager.

The damage caused by this food acquisition policy made me want to win more caroc kunt.

He was also a merchant, so he must have been very bright in terms of economics.

The Orient King made his own decision.

“I accept the invitation of the writer Kunt. It's not bad to show him my youngest daughter. ”
