Price of Management

The parrot yelled at me with a furious face.

Marry me! Cheater!

“ ……?! ”

Neither Princess Serence nor King Orion nor Duke Britain looked so baffled.

Come on, you shitty parrot!

The parrot spirit named Bic keeps talking.

- Married man! Bastard!

“Well, what's the spirit saying now? ”

“…… No way. ”

The eyes of the Orient King and the Duke of Britain are upon Princess Serence.

I was thinking the same thing. That spirit was speaking into Princess Serence's heart.

Princess Serence is blushing.

“Hey, hey! You can't say that, Vik! ”

- No, no, no!

“Gaaaah! Stop it! ”

Who are you marrying now? You rascal!

A parrot that never stops talking. You're a much scarier spirit than a salamander because you can't control it. After all, it was the Wind Spirit Silf.

“Ugh! Excuse me! ”

Princess Serence runs away with her parrot in her arms. In the meantime, the crazy parrot goes, "Demonstration, Demonstration! ’I shouted the same thing. You could have just unsummoned it, but it seemed a little embarrassing.

We stare at her back dazed.

“What the hell is going on, Bird of Ligand?" ”

After the storm, King Orien asked. I scratched my head with a bitter smile.

“Spirits are connected to spirits, so you can see inside of them. Perhaps that madman... … No, the Spirit has a habit of speaking in her mind. ”

“But the spirit said it would appear in the natural world in the form it wanted. Did Serence want that?" ”

“Perhaps…… the princess wanted something that made her mind so cool that she couldn't speak. ”

“Huh……. By the way, Serens never told me what was in his heart. I should have listened to Serens a little more. It must have been so frustrating after all this time. It's Jim's fault."

“Isn't that the law for all women of her age, Your Majesty? ”

Duke Britain comforts the Orient King.

The Orient King saw me.

“Anyway, you'll be happy to know Serens has become a spirit. I thank you. ”

“You're welcome.”

“But I don't understand. Why did you teach Serence, the foreign princess? It would be of no benefit to the Kingdom of Leaden or to you. ”

When the duck said that, there was an evil meaning in what the king said.

"Thank you for teaching Princess Serence spirituality, but it has nothing to do with alliance matters."

In the days of negotiating the Baden River, the narrative of the battle between Earl Halstein and Duke Meutt was also revealed.

But he's no good to anyone, Mr. Sly King.

I opened my mouth with a smile.

“Then I dare ask you one question. King Orion, do you know what makes a good world? ”

A slight embarrassment flashed across the face of the Orient King.

“Another puzzling question like that puzzles me. What was it again?”

I said with a smile.

“This is good. ”

The obvious answer.

The Orient King couldn't speak a word because it was the truth.

I kept saying.

“Only those who think they want to make people happy can make the world a better place. Although the strength of one person may seem trivial, that effort is never in vain, and it leads to someone who is inevitably fruitful. ”

“So, it's good faith to teach Serens spirituality? ”

“Yes. Aesthetics can never be used badly. Spirits make spirits happy. We can make people happy in front of us, and there's no need to hesitate. ”

All right, we got a little ambiance.

I kept saying.

“Your Majesty, that's what I came here for. ”

Getting to the point, King Orien and Duke Briton looked at me with a stiff face.

“Our Kingdom of Ledon will not be allied with the nomadic Independents. The nomadic people are a people who violate people's happiness because they have committed plunder. How much more can we justify helping them gain their independence? But the alliance with the Orient Kingdom is clearly a path for everyone's happiness. ”

“How do allies in both countries make everyone happy? ”

“As allies, we want not only military defense cooperation, but also economic cooperation. ”

“Economic cooperation? ”

“Yes, customs agreements and fantasy schemes. ”

I explained the customs agreement and the fantasy system in detail. The more I heard the explanation, the more interested I was in the faces of two people.

The imagination system had the effect of making merchants on the side of the royal family and advancing the throne, so of course, the interest of the king of Orion who sought a strong kingdom was inevitable.

“What a brilliant idea. To strengthen the throne by making the merchant side of the royal family. This is what you thought of Ligand. ”

“That's right.”

“Oh, yeah. The more I see of your power, the more I'm amazed. ”

The Orient King put out his tongue.

All right. Almost there.

“This economic cooperation can greatly increase trade between the two countries. You know, trading is about buying and selling things that we need. The lower the tariff, the lower the price, and the more trade, the richer the livelihood of the people of both countries. ”

“Hmm... I'm sure you're right. ”

All right!

But the Orient King continued:

“But it's always been a story of economic perspective. From a military perspective, it is still difficult to determine whether this alliance will benefit our Kingdom of Orion. ”

Here's what it means. It means that we don't yet know if the Horn Empire is threatening enough to make alliances with the Kingdom of Leaden and stop it together.

In other words, we need to see the outcome of the civil war in the Horn Empire.

Tsk, is it too far to convince them? But at least it was a positive response to the customs agreement, which was also a big success.

“Anyway, I will discuss the matter a little more and then give you an answer. ”

That is the conclusion of the Orient King.

I nodded.

“I understand.”

“It's been a long night, so go back and rest. Thank you for Serence. ”

“Yes, have a good night. ”

I turned around and walked up to the sky, greeting him with a proper greeting. My listing was on the third floor, so I flew quickly through the window.

* * *

King Orien gazes at Caroc as he walks up the stairs.

“Oh, what an unusual figure. There are no ordinary corners. ”

“Yes, he's a great young man. ”

Duke Britain agreed.

“Is that what you think? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Duke Britain then said,

“His abilities are great, but what amazes me is his character that is always on the path of coexistence. ”

“Character? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Fighting is easy, but it's hard to be together. In retrospect, he always chose a path where more people would benefit from it than from sexual immorality. The Barden River toll negotiations were also aimed at stabilizing people's livelihoods by capturing rising water prices, and choosing an alliance with us instead of intervening in the War of the Horn Empire. And I have to admire that. ”

“Nothing scares me more than the right one. ”

The Orient King smiled bitterly.

He recalled his past.

His journey to the throne was a path of blood that destroyed static and gained power.

It's the same now.

The reason I hesitated about the alliance was the ambition that if the Kingdom of Leaden could fend off the invasion of the Horn on its own, the Kingdom of Orion would be able to seize control of the continent on a fishing grounds.

Compared to Caroc, who speaks of goodness, it made him ugly.

“Duke.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“What do you think of the offer of the Ligand? ”

“Keep an eye on your alliance. ”

“Is that so? ”

“Yes, but what about the introduction of customs agreements and fantasy schemes? ”

“Let's put the alliance on hold and start customs? ”

“Yes, that can prove fruitful and indicate our willingness to maintain a good relationship with the Kingdom of Leaden. It's a good choice for each other. ”

“I see.”

The Orient King nods.

Caroc ligand showed good faith. So this side must show such good faith.
