Price of Management

Two days later, King Erik summons an emergency court meeting. And all the royal officials declared in their seats.

“Jim will not interfere in the civil war of the Horn Empire. First, there is no moral justification to help the nomadic people gain independence, and second, they can weaken their relationship with the Horn Empire to provide a billy of war in the future. Regardless of this decision, however, the situation in the Horn Empire continues to remain vigilant. ”

The royal officials are stunned by the Declaration of King Erik. The attitude of King Erik was so resolute that I could hardly argue with him. I can't believe his attitude changed in just two days.

"Caroc Ligand Bird. His young friend hardened his heart like that. ’

Visa clenches her fist.

How great is this trust. It means that King Erik believes in Caroc's ability to judge.

I was jealous.

I was jealous of Baron Caroc Ligand, who was so comparable to himself.

‘Yes, Caroc Ligand is my enemy. I urged His Majesty to silence my proposal for his personal political position. ’

He lost his last chance to raise his diplomatic achievement, and his mind was burning with anger. Because of this, Caroc was regarded as a traitor to the king who planned his eternal life.

‘I can't just stand there. I need to find out for myself if I really have a heart for this country! ’

After the urgent court meeting, Visa immediately left for Caroc.

The alliance with the Nomadic Independents was also concluded, so I had some time to spare.

While I was thinking about playing, I decided to take a walk around the city of Ledon. Since I have to go to the royal palace from now on, it was a good idea to look for a house nearby.

On second thought, I asked and went to the broker.

“Welcome. What are you looking for?”

An old man welcomed me for being the longest land broker in the Kingdom of Leaden.

“I'd like to see the house. ”

The old man suddenly saw my red misrelcoat.

“You don't seem unusual, even for pretending. Is there anything in particular you would like for your home? ”

“The location doesn't really matter if you're inside Lerdon. I just want it to be bigger and have a garden, and it's better if it's in an alleyway that's convenient for wagons to travel to. ”

“Hey, sir……. Do you know that this is Ledon Castle.... ”

“Yes? Of course I do. Then this is King Leaden. Is the king an Orient? ”

“The Kingdom of Ledon is murderously expensive for the nobles who have lands abroad to bear their tongues. If the mansion meets all the conditions you mentioned.... ”

“Hey, hey. Let's not get soft with each other. What the hell are you talking about? The value of the land is not a consideration at all, so introduce me to the house. ”

“Oh, I see. Then I would like to introduce you to some of the mansions you are most interested in. ”

The old man had just revealed his true colors.

“Really? We wanted to go for a walk anyway, so let's go together. ”

“Yes, sir. Did you come by carriage? ”

“No.”

“I'm going to see about four houses, but I'll need a wagon. If you wait a moment, I'll get a wagon... ”

“No, thank you. ”

“Yes? But it's a little far to walk and my knee hurts again these days.... ”

I chirped my tongue and sang a song.

- Did you call him?

“Yes, Earth Hand. ”

- Okay, Dad.

The dirt clumps together and makes two large palms. I snuck up on one of them. Another Earth hand grips the old man.

“Aah!”

The old man, caught in the palm of a giant dirt hand, cries out in panic. Later, when he became a sitting brother-in-law on Earth's hand, the old man was frightened and struck the hand as if it were strange instead of shining.

“Oh, is this magic? ”

“Aesthetics.”

“Aesthetics?”

Then the old man looked at me with frightening eyes. The old man yells at his forehead.

“You must be the famous Caroc Ligand now. Look at this stupid head! I can't believe I didn't recognize the red Misrill coat you're wearing. ”

“What, you might not recognize it. Sometimes I don't recognize my second brother's face either. ”

“Huff. All right. Since I'm looking for the mansion of a famous rich ligand, I'll take you to the most expensive and good place on the property. ”

“Yeah. Which way? ”

“It's about 300 meters north of here. ”

“Okay, hold on. ”

I flew the Earth Hand towards the direction the old man was pointing.

In fact, it was gnome that was controlling the Earth Hand, but it wasn't that different from what I was controlling because gnome and I were connected in spirit.

In the blink of an eye, I arrived in the courtyard of the mansion the old man had mentioned. The old man admires you as you get out of the Earth Hand.

“You're amazing. It must have been a long time since there were so many travelers on the way to the wagon. ”

“What. But isn't the mansion too small? ”

I couldn't help but be disappointed by the mansion.

The mansion seemed to have compressed our house in Kunt territory by about a quarter. It was also the size, but the exterior was not very chic compared to my home.

Of course, it would have been made of much better construction materials than our house. We only had 500 Redinas in our house when we built it.

But instead, we have a house where Norm used to play.) It was very glamorous because it was decorated with a sculpture made. Even if I look around the front yard, my eyes are delighted with dozens of statues made by gnome.

This house was so small in the front yard that there was no room for a statue or space.

The old man said he had noticed my disappointment.

“The Kingdom of Leaden is originally very populous, and the value of land is tens of times higher than in other areas because of the affluent people and the wealthy merchants who buy houses here. And of course, the size of the house is smaller than anywhere else. ”

“I know that, but it's too small. Living in such a small place will choke your breath. You're gonna get claustrophobic. ”

“Huff, that's not all. ”

“Anyway, I don't like it. Is there a woman among my wives who has great vanity? I'm so ashamed to live in such a small house, I'm sure I'll leave. ”

“Oh, you mean Mrs. Julia? ”

“Huh? You know Julia? ”

“By the way, I used to live here in the restaurant with my face on. She is such a broad footed girl, and everyone knew her when she went to work in Ledon. I couldn't convince him to keep coming to expensive restaurants. ”

“Oh, did you know Julia well? Then it's easier said than done. I hate chaos, and Julia's a dozen times stronger than she used to be. because the flame of vanity didn't go out even though it was so much higher than when we ran the restaurant here. ”

The old man sweated as if he was afraid of what I said.

“That's... well, then I can't have this house. ”

“Isn't that right?"

“There's a better way. You rent an empty land outside of Lerdon and build your own mansion from the royal palace. The nobles of the Great Moon seek a home in the Kingdom of Leaden in that way. because those of you in high places don't have a small house in the city. ”

“The royal family is renting out land around this castle? ”

“Yes, there's been a lot of things going on during the civil war. It's hard to finance the royal family, so we rent the vacant land outside of the castle that we don't use anyway. ”

“Oh, that's a good business. One of those high humankind habits is to build a big competitive house. ”

“Oh my gosh, yes. Another nobleman built a big mansion outside the castle, but he has pride when he lives in a small house downtown. So there are a lot of mansions outside the castle that are called inner gates. There's a private carriage for them, so it's easy to get to and from the royal palace. ”

Hey, don't you know the Kingdom of Leaden can make a lot of money?
