Price of Management

Chapter 10, Rick.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Count Antares leaves, as if he had nothing more to do.

Earl Great Gen also poured a drink with his father until late at night and left, saying he did not intend to play with the groom for long. Perhaps it was time to see him again on the battlefield.

Evan came to see me early in the morning and asked me.

“What happened? ”

I shook my head.

“Earl Antares is wrong. ”

“I thought so. Old people don't change their minds. But the important thing is to understand what Earl Antares has to offer from the Horn Empire. ”

I didn't think of that.

If you had made contact, you would have received something from the Horn Empire.

“You were promised more than keeping your current title and territory, weren't you? ”

“Yes, I would have offered terms that would have been of great benefit to the post-school. Even for the Horn Empire, it would be very important to turn back the landscape. ”

“Anyway, keep an eye on Earl Antares for now. We have to stop the other mothers from hatching. ”

“Leave it to me.”

Let's think positive.

Things have changed more positively than they used to. We have allied ourselves with the Orient Kingdom, and Earl Ranzhel has passed on to us during the siege.

Earl Antares is mistaken and will not fall easily.

On the last day of the party, I met Raell again. Perhaps we should have tipped off this to our friendly Kingdom of Orion.

“Did that happen? ”

Raell's expression became serious. When Jehovah passed over to the Horn Empire, he spread his wings to the ogres. The Horn Empire is the most desperately needed economic force. It wasn't just the Kingdom of Leaden that caused trouble.

“First of all, I'm going to try not to make the same choice as Earl Antares until after the other onslaught. ”

“We Orient Kingdom will also try to figure it out. ”

“Yes.”

Ugh...

In the end, I was concerned about the repairs on the Northern Era.

But that didn't mean I didn't use my hands at all. That's when Julia, a rising social ladder, contacted the Northern Lords who participated in the party on my behalf.

I negotiated with the Northern Lords through Julia, and everyone agreed to join me and make a payment unless they were as poor as some.

When the Northern Highway was breached, the economy was also economic, but we could see the effect of being heavily protected by royal troops deployed to protect the Northern Highway.

The total amount of funds promised by the Northern Lords was roughly 500,000 Redinas.

I'm just sighing.

It was a figure that allowed us to see how the economy in the northern part of the Kingdom of Leaden had deteriorated.

Of course, even though they tried to reduce the amount of money to become lords, they suggested that their financial strength was poor compared to those in the southern areas where there was a landfall.

I thought if I met up with top merchants and raised donations, I could collect about 200,000 more. Fundraising will be easier now that the fantasy system has been implemented. We can collect the donation in exchange for appointing him as a fantasy to benefit from customs duties.

After the party, the family became a little peaceful.

Of course, the fighting pits were still idle, but the mansion was quiet as if empty.

Just seeing people crowded felt stressful, but I finally felt relieved. Even faithful Arthur was relieved that he didn't have to entertain guests.

It had been a long time since my family had lunch together.

The Kunt side is Miranda, who became a father and stepmother, Arthur and his wife and nephew Elena.

Me, Julia, and Sis are on the ligand side.

Eight.

Plus, there are five women!

You've prospered a lot compared to before. I was filled with emotional tears because I thought men no longer had to eat depressingly.

Yeah? Yeah.

But I feel like I forgot one...

“Is Rick still there? ”

Arthur asked his father.

Oh, you forgot your brother Rick.

My father nodded.

“Yes. I occupy my own training ground and live in it. ”

What was so frustrating about it was that my father's face was aching.

Arthur smiled and said.

“Hahaha, but isn't it a great blessing for our family if Rick becomes a master like your father at this opportunity?" ”

So I helped my brother-in-law Reynald.

“Yes, three of the strongest men on the continent. ”

That's right. Even if Rick succeeds, we are truly the best in the Kingdom of Leaden.

Where is that?

My sweet niece Elena is also born with a rich spiritual affinity.

Of course, aesthetics isn't all that talented, but it's obvious that Elena will grow up to be kind and pure, isn't it? I'm sure he'll make a great spirit. Hmm. Like me.

My father gave the brothers and sisters Pinzans.

“Do you know how easy it is to be a master? Rick is talented, but we can't be sure if he's lacking in spirit. ”

“Haha, you too. As long as Rick picks up the sword, he's someone else. ”

“Hmph, swordsmanship's a bitch. ”

He was a disgruntled father who insisted on picking up the style of his brother Rick's sword. If Brother Rick hears that, he'll be furious. This is going to be fun, so I'll have to tell you later. Ah-ha-ha.

At that moment, Miranda opens her mouth cautiously.

“You must be struggling with your training. Do you take good care of your meals? ”

“Haha, you're so sweet. But there's no need to waste your kindness on Rick. ”

My father laughed loudly and patted Miranda on the shoulder. After remarrying at a late age, I was already a loving father to my wife.

Miranda shyly said in praise of her father's storm.

“You have to eat well to be energetic. ”

“No, you don't have to eat him well. And you'll need to starve before you can train. ”

You're the guy who became a master at eating bread and milk while starving.

He was wary of being beaten by Rick as he became a master. Anyway, it was a childish rich man.

I laughed.

“Maybe Rick's monogamy will change. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

Arthur asked.

“Now that your father boasts that he's the Master, he's arguing with Rick, and now that you're the Master, he's going to boast about your wife. Well, then who knows if Rick will be inspired to find a good bride? ”

“Hahaha! You're right! If Rick doesn't like to lose, he'll be able to eradicate his venom. ”

“Funny. I don't know if he can get a better bride than my wife. ”

My father snorted, and Miranda blushed like a scarlet in praise. Oh, you've really put on weight. If I hadn't gotten married, I wouldn't have survived that salting.

We enjoyed eating while talking.

Rick cannot forget the day his father visited Duke Meutt.

The image of my father who became a master and braved against the heavenly Duke of Master Meutt.

It was a day when the father, who had always been his first goal, had a rival consciousness in similar circumstances, appeared to be a great UAV.

It was a big shock to Rick.

If Duke Meutt was in the sky, his father was a realistic goal. I decided to move on from my father. With his talents and Duke Meutt's teachings, it would be possible. The Father who had done so became another heaven.

The shock soon turned into a strong stimulus.

I've always wanted to, but on the one hand, it has become a reality that can only be touched by dreams.
