Price of Management

We arrived at Leaden Castle in two days.

I bought clothes to wear at the court meeting and accessories. While buying jewelry, I recognized the fashions and industry trends of precious metals, which I still knew as a memory of my past life.

Since we arrived before January, we were hanging out in the city of Ledon.

Explore delicious restaurants, explore markets, and find businesses worth a fortune (?).

I decided to visit the Magic Guild and buy a 4 Circle Wizard.

The magic described in the Magic Guild sold for a high price is just basic stuff that has already been distributed among numerous wizards, and the state-of-the-art refining magic that the real magic guild know-how is concentrated on is not disclosed externally.

But that was enough for Sis. I'm not taking her to the battlefield. And Sis is so talented at magic that she will be able to refine her own magic.

While I was playing around without realizing time, it became a new January 2nd.

“Let's go. ”

“You're really going to the palace, aren't you? ”

“Then shall we go to the palace, and return home? ”

“This is the first time I've been to the palace. Visiting the highest man in the country is a dream. ”

“You think you've met a good man. ”

“Hehe, thank you. ”

Julia kissed my cheek lightly. You're getting pretty good at it now. Well, that's a desirable phenomenon.

You have passed the palace guard's inspection and entered the palace.

Through the front door, we were welcomed by a garden decorated with green grass, trees, and colorful sculptures.

I've seen it many times before, but Julia is so excited that she wants to go for a walk here. Sis didn't look good, but she seemed happy. I had some time left and decided to play here.

“Ahh. We make a lot of money in this conversation. ”

Julia lies flat on the grass.

“You're still making enough money. ”

Lots of money.

“I'm making a lot of money to build a house bigger than this palace. ”

“ ……. ”

Why does my Vatan need such a huge piece of architecture in the same tiny territory?

Kids who don't even reveal their dresses or jewelry use vanity in strange places. I'd rather just reveal precious metals. That'll be cheaper.

Suddenly, looking to the left, you see someone hiding in the shade of the tree and taking a nap.

Who's there?

I looked familiar.

Summon gnome, share your senses, and check again. It was Jeron. Jeron Deckard, the most unwilling governor in the royal family, was taking a nap.

I'm sure it's still office hours.

He's playing hooky!

“Noum. Go grab him and wake him up. ”

- Yeah!

The gnome rushes forward, bashing Jeron's head in with a large shovel in his hand.

Deen!

“Huff!”

Whoops, what a cool way to punch someone's kid.

Jeron grabs his head and rolls around in a ditch. Jeron glances around in cold sweat, and his eyes meet gnome, and then he finds me.

“What are you doing? ”

“What the hell are you doing? ”

“I was enjoying my nap. ”

“The superintendent has to work at this hour. Why are you napping?! ”

“Your Honor, you're not here to prepare for the court meeting, and Louis Concern is in charge of the foundation office. No one said anything, so I'm taking a nap. ”

“Are you sure?! To the late Duron? ”

He works hard at his retirement age, making him work young!

“You're disgraceful. Is this how you treat me to be a man of the next generation? ”

“You, you see, when I enter the royal court, I'm gonna fry you up real good! ”

“Tsk! Congratulations on your wedding, by the way. ”

“Hmph, thank you. How's the royal mood? ”

“I've been thrilled since negotiating the Baden River, but I'm getting nervous again because of the recent trends in the Horn Empire. ”

“The Horn Empire? Oh, that. ”

“Did you hear?”

“Yes. That's when Emperor Kars joined the nomadic race, isn't it? ”

“Yes. It may be a short onset of labor, but it may be possible to subdue the nomads and put them under its control. ”

“... I'm just asking, don't you know that the landscaping is behind the nomads? ”

“Yes?”

You show your whole body the problems of the Kingdom of Leaden. The intelligence is too weak. Well, I heard it from Jason himself, but it was quick.

“Before Earl Ranzhel dies, I want to give Emperor Kars a great gift. A few nomadic tribes will stand up claiming independence. ”

“Is that true? ”

“Well, am I lying? ”

“Then there will be a civil war at the heart of the nomads in the Horn Empire. ”

“Yes."

“I was relieved that was good news. At this point, the most important thing to be aware of is whether or not Zack Kunt will become the royal son-in-law of the Orion. ”

“No. Look, these are my wives. ”

I introduced Julia and cis.

Jeron looks at me as if to say hello to them.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Open your eyes.”

“What's so special about you that you've got two beautiful wives? ”

“Noum, hit him again. ”

- Yeah!

“Now, hold on! ”

De-En!

“Grrrgh!"

Jeron gets his head bashed in with a shovel of gnome again.

Then Sis hit me.

“Why?”

“Time.”

“Ah.”

I took out the clock and checked it, and it was 12: 35 p.m. one day. Ugh, we're gonna be late!

“Let's hurry. It's time. ”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

We head back to the palace behind Jeron, spreading out over the grass.

I grabbed anyone and asked, and a maid showed us to the reception room.

And soon an old lady appeared. I looked like a high person who was about to become a bridesmaid because of the luxurious outfit or the items on her body.

The old lady bowed her head to us.

“My maid name is Margaret, Earl Arren's wife. Are you the Baron of Caroc Kunt? ”

“Yes, Mrs. Birch. ”

I politely pushed back.

As a maid of honor, she was a major member of the royal social community serving the queen directly. Earl Arren was also a prestigious member of the historic royal family. Even though the force has declined a lot now.

Earl Arren's wife said:

“You will be attending a court meeting soon, and Baron Carroc Kunt will be familiar with you, but I will guide you because you may not know the rules of the royal court. ”

“Please.”

Julia and cis nod politely.

Later, we learned a simple royal manner from Earl Arren's wife.

“If you wait here, I will call you soon. Then follow the instructions to enter the courtroom and do exactly as I taught you. ”

“I understand.”

“Excuse me, then. ”

Earl Arren's wife left to say goodbye to us.

Julia and Sis, who were very nervous, sat on the exhausted couch.

“Whoa! I'm nervous. ”

“Don't be nervous. Sweetheart, your romantic is the most powerful man in the royal family. Even if it's a little wrong, nobody can say anything. ”

“Wow, really? ”

“Of course! I'm just putting a little pumpkin in the back for a rude woman. ”

“What the hell! I hate it more!”

“Tsk, tsk, it's Julia. Being the wife of a great man like me makes me a target of jealousy for many women. Get used to it from now on.”

“ ……. ”

Julia looked at me in a daze.

“Can our Sis do better than that? ”

“... Yes. ”

“You're not crying because you're so nervous, are you? ”

“No.”

“Yes, it's great. ”

I stroked Sissy's blue hair. The texture is as soft as silk, so I keep stroking it. This is going to become a habit.

What a cute girl! My wife! Now it's not a crime to hug and sleep at night, is it? Nice!

“Wow, shorty, you're making a terrible face. ”

Julia frowns.

“You pick a mean word like that and it's simple? ”

“Great. I'll scratch you like crazy, too. Let's see who wins." ”

“I was wrong. ”

“Hehehe.”

Seeing that she was relaxing two women with such silly chatter, one maid came to us often on foot and told us.

“Your Majesty wishes to see you in court. ”

“Come on, let's go. ”

We went to the court room with the maid's guidance.

I've done a lot for the royal court, but I didn't have to go to the court because I wasn't a member of the royal family. So this was the first time I went to the court meeting.

Well, I'm not that nervous after all. Compared to talking to a psychopath in the Horn Empire, it's like going for a ride.

I finally reached the entrance of the palace meeting. The entrance was guarded by two knights of the Royal Knights.

Through the senses of the gnome, I felt the beating of Julia and Sis' hearts.

A lot of people are nervous.

“Wounded.”

-Yeah.

Wounded appears from the air.

“Conceal yourself and continue to inspire healing by our side. ”
