Price of Management

I met with the late Duron before I left. Earl Duron seems to have something to do with me.

“Haha, I couldn't say anything about politics, but congratulations on getting married. ”

“Thank you. In fact, I wanted to ask the Führer for an anniversary of marriage, but I couldn't because I had to hurry. ”

“Tribute to this old man? Hahaha, I'd be happy to give you a funeral if it were your wedding. That's a shame. Be sure to call me at the next wedding. ”

“Oh dear, I'm in trouble. There is no next.”

“Phew!”

We shared a virtue for a while.

Earl Duron, however, soon came to the point.

“I have a question. I wanted to see you. ”

“Tell me.”

“Why does the Orion want you so badly? ”

“Yes? That's ……. ”

“Don't take this the wrong way. Of course, this old man knows you're a rare talent. But I'm not sure why the Orion is so eager to take you, even with Princess Serence. ”

Princess Serence is literally a single princess. I have rare and beautiful beauty.

As a royal Orient, it was literally a political card of the spleen.

But if it was worth it to me to be willing to use that card, it was worth thinking about a little bit.

Especially since the Orient King is famous for his love for Princess Serence, his youngest daughter.

It was no wonder that Earl Duron had questions.

Ugh...

Why are there so many people around me who notice so quickly?

Duke Duron is someone who trusts me enough to think I'm his heir, so I've decided to tell him the truth.

“Your Honor. This should be kept confidential. ”

“As I get older, my mouth gets heavier. ”

“Actually, I'm a Senior Spirit. ”

“ ……?! ”

Duke Duron raises his eyes wide. Oh my, it's bad for your heart if you startle an older person.

“Is that true? ”

“Yes. I was recently on the verge of superior animosity. ”

“So the Orient royal family knew that. That's why I was willing to mobilize Princess Serence. ”

“Yes. I wanted to hide it, but Duke Joel Briton found out. It was short, but it was also a duel. ”

“You fought Duke Britain? Haha, that's amazing. I can't believe you were able to compete with him called the pinnacle of the Knights of the Orient Kingdom. That's why the Orion King wants you. ”

“I'm sorry for the secrecy. I wanted to hide it until the crucial moment. ”

“Excellent. ”

“Yes?”

“Well done. It's foolish to show all the cards from the beginning. Rather, it deserves to be praised. ”

“I'm glad you said that. ”

“Haha, this old man is even more relieved to have you, after Duke Meutt, by the way. Please continue to empower His Majesty. ”

“Of course. But more than that, I'm in charge of the newlyweds.... ”

“Oh, right. I'll take good care of your wives. The Queen is making friends with a lot of people. Maybe she'll be a good friend. ”

“Thank you."

“Now go. ”

“Yes.”

I left the palace in peace.

Julia, cis, forgive me for wanting to work. Your husband is a great man, and he's always busy.

* * *

“What! Marry me? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. A family member of the Kunt family has been married for a short time. I just received a report from a spy planted in Kunt territory. ”

Duke Joel Briton reports that the Orient King is in ruins.

I can't believe you're late!

Who knew I'd get married in such a short time? With a woman of two!

“Have you seen this mess? I hesitated again and missed my chance. It was just a matter of time! ”

“Your Majesty.”

Duke Britain tilted in a quiet tone, knowing that the Orient King cares about his lack of decisiveness.

“There has never been a report of a woman to do this to Caroc Kunt. ”

“But you got married. ”

“The women were originally subordinates, but they didn't have a relationship with Caroc Kunt until they looked at the staff at the Caroc Armory. Suddenly, he got married. ”

The Orient King twitched his eyebrows.

“Have you noticed our thoughts? ”

“I doubt that. I don't think Princess Serence and my son Raell read their insides to Carroc Kunt. ”

“Huh...... If that's true, then you really are a ghost. ”

The Orient King kicked his tongue out of his chest.

“There are more pressing matters at hand. ”

“Huh? Ah, I see. A week ago, I sent an envoy to make an alliance offer. ”

“As long as we don't get Caroc Kunt, we shouldn't offer alliances first. ”

“I know. We shouldn't offer it first. ”

The Ledden Royal Family is the one who desperately wants an alliance.

However, it was foolish to suggest that this side should make an alliance first. As long as you don't get Caroc Kunt.

“Bring him back in. We should probably get him back before he reaches Kingdom Leaden. ”

“You've probably crossed the border with Ledhan by now. ”

“Then I'd better hurry. Oh, then call Earl Raymond. ”

“I understand.”

Duke Brighton has asked someone to retrieve the late Raymond.

“You wanted to see me, Your Majesty? ”

Earl Raymond is just moments away. Until just now, I was doing my favorite magic study, and I was annoyed with my face.

The Orion King laughed.

“I'm sorry to call you so busy. ”

“Experiment, no. What's the matter?”

“One week ago, Rica, who was sent to the House of Leaden as an envoy, should recall the Earl. ”

The Orient King explained the details, adding.

“No one on this continent is faster than you. ”

Earl Raymond nods, convincing.

“Very well. Then God must go. ”

Thus, the Grand Wizard of the Seven Circles, Earl Raymond, made his own move.

“Teleport. ”

The moment you cast your magic, Earl Raymond's new stature vanishes from the air.

I flew very fast and arrived at the border checkpoint in Lerdon Kingdom.

I flew for two days without even having a chance to eat.

Oh, I'm starving. I should have packed some jerky. But for now, it's imperative that we find the Lion of the Orient Royal.

I went to the border post.

“Stop.”

“Identify yourself. ”

Soldiers at the Sentry Post are approaching. But some of the soldiers recognized my face.

“Huh? You've hunted ogres before, haven't you? ”

“That's right. That was the first time I saw an Ogre corpse. ”

“You remember.”

“Of course. The border here is more memorable for those who are special than you might think. ”

The other day, when Patrick and I went to the Orient Kingdom, we caught an ogre. You remember that.

“Did the nobles of the Orient Kingdom pass through here, then? He's presumed to be the Lion of the Orient Kingdom. ”

In my question, the soldiers nodded.

“Oh, yeah. Yesterday afternoon, a nobleman came across the border as an angel of the Orient royal family. ”

“Name.”

“He was Earl Ricardo. ”

“Impressions.”

“Well, I mean……. He was in his early 40s, and he was slightly smaller and thinner than me. And he was wearing a white coat. ”

“What wagon were you on? ”

“That was a pretty good wagon for two horses. ”

“Were you in a hurry? ”

“Yes, I remember it was urgent and speeding. ”

“Okay, thank you! ”

Thank goodness. Across the border.

You impress the soldiers and find them more easily. Moreover, if he passed yesterday afternoon, he wouldn't have gone that far.

“Here. Have a drink after work. ”

I threw a single gold coin at the soldiers and jumped into the sky.

Paaaaaaaaaah!

A pile of dirt rises from the ground and burns me as a chair. I soared straight up into the sky.

I could feel the anger of the soldiers staring at me with their blank expressions. This will be the talk of another day among the soldiers at the Borderline Sentry Post.

I continued to expand my shared senses with Noonum, looking down the road from the border checkpoint toward King Leaden.

Occasionally, however, I only saw merchants hauling wagons, but I didn't see the fancy wagons that were ridden by nobles.

And as I went further, I could see a small village.

I see. Maybe he's staying in town for the night.

You must have been exhausted in the rush. The horses must be tired.

After landing on the ground, I entered the town.
