Reincarnation Monarch

Once Gaius had finished eating, he looked around the shop again.

It seems to have calmed down a lot in time, and the number of customers is decreasing.

I could see the empty seats, so it seemed that the time for filling was over.

Gaius looked at the timing and called the female clerk earlier.

The female clerk replied kindly and arrived immediately.

What?

"Oh, this drink."

Gaius ordered while pointing to the menu.

The female clerk shouted the name of the drink towards the kitchen behind the counter.

"Do you want dessert?"

"Oh, I don't need dessert, but I need to ask you something."

"What? I want to ask you something."

"I hope you understand, but is it true that there's a war going on here in Berk?"

The female clerk shrugged her shoulders.

“Yes, that's right. Unfortunately, we've been at war for the last few years.”

"You don't really feel like you're doing it?"

"Yeah, it looks like we're at war, but we've never been attacked."

Oh, I see, you mean you're just getting into it.

“Yes, they say we're waging war against the surrounding country.”

"Hmm, what do people think about that?"

"Are you a foreign customer?"

"Oh, I'm traveling.I was wondering what to do because it stinks. "

"Oh, I see. Yeah, I see.We're all in trouble. "

What do you mean, trouble?

"War costs money, doesn't it?Where do you think that money is coming from? "

Gaius only thought for a moment and answered immediately.

"National taxes"

Then the female clerk said with a rather annoying face.

"Yes! That means our lives are being oppressed.That's why, to be honest, we all want to stop the war. "

"The king did change five years ago, didn't he?Then I heard they started invading other countries. "

The female clerk nodded loudly.

"Yeah, that's right. But it's strange."

Huh? Strange to say?

"The new king was originally a very mature prince.And then, as soon as I became king, I started waging war on the neighboring countries, focusing on the military as if people had changed. "

"Oh, that's an interesting story."

Gaius narrowed his eyes and made a difficult look.
