Sweet Reincarnation

The artisan city of the Voltuzara Kingdom.

A place where those who do not sleep work in a city that operates at forty-six o'clock as a trading city.

In the first place, a trading city is a city that has literally grown from trading.

A natural road between the desert and the desert, between the mountains and the mountains, and between the forest and the forest. It is a city where they intersect, and merchants gather from east, west, south, and north to exchange goods for gold, or gold and goods.

Beyond being a trade, exchanging goods for gold is more important than anything else.

Depending on the content of the bumps, there are some products whose value changes many times over in a moment. There will be products whose freshness is life. Sometimes the cheap stuff I bought yesterday turns jewelry into a bright blue price the next day.

That's why traders waste their time.

Would you be grateful if you were a craftsman who stops working at night, or a craftsman who works through the night if it's a rush?

Of course, if you are told to be in a hurry, I would like to have a relationship with a business partner who is really in a hurry.

So, I can't sleep.

Some workshops have artisans who literally work all night long, while others have many artisans who take turns working.

In modern times, black companies are pale, but there are many artisans who work until late at night.

Some craftsmen work at night every day, and naturally, sounds and lights leak out.

Especially for blacksmithing, the sound is annoying. I can't help but be isolated away from the residential area.

In particular, there are artisan towns far from where nobles live.

In other words, it is an unusual place for aristocrats to get lost by accident.

Not to mention the impossibility of having a prince of one country. Such insanity cannot happen. And the world thinks.

Taking advantage of the entrenched stereotypes, the First Prince of the Divine Kingdom, Lunikis, lived in a house far away from the artisan town.

"You are the Foreign Secretary of the Republic of Sorami."

"Haha, I'm so happy to see you, Your Highness."

"I am also pleased to meet Praulich as a generer of those who rule the kingdom of God."

"I'm afraid so."

Amorous = Ludo bows his head in front of the men.

As the head of the Mission of the Republic of Sorami, it was a small group of only one clerk and one escort.

Prince Lunikis was accompanied by Squirrel as an escort and Pais as an assistant clerk.

Both the Sorami Republic and the Kingdom of God were equal numbers. The first time we saw each other informally, the political dynamics of being as equal as possible would have worked.

Originally, it would not be praiseworthy for a person who would be a prince of a great country to secretly hide and meet a small number of people who might be well-versed in foreign countries.

It's a noisy world. If you were captured and said, "The prince is seeking asylum in our country," you don't know how much ransom will be demanded.

Still, this three-to-three match is because the prince trusts the guards. To be more precise, I know that the bodyguard captain's aide is a thousand riders.

Two representatives with first-hand knowledge of generosity. The chat begins after a social gesture, whether the observation of each other is over.

I don't think I need to ask you again, but I hear you're from the Sorami Republic.

"Yes, Your Highness the Left. My motherland, the Republic of Sorami, has sent me to this country. It's up to you to advance to your assigned duties while being a genius."

It is easy to understand that the prince is in a position to represent the country. Practically speaking, it is the number two in the country, including Kadrechek, who concurrently serves as the general of the central army, and Siebert, who concurrently serves as the state secretary and can be said to be the substantive prime minister.

However, if you only look at the royal family as a lineage, the number two of the royal family is Prince Runikis.

In contrast, the representative of the Sorami Republic is not an aristocrat.

For the Divine Kingdom, which does not know the intel of the Sorami Republic, it is necessary to first check whether the representative is decorative, has the final authority to negotiate, and can take responsibility for the practice.

No matter how much you negotiate, if you end up saying, "I'll bring the conclusion back to my home country," you'll always be flipped over the table when you're still negotiating.

The beginning of the chat is the propaganda that we are good enough to negotiate.

I think it is because I have been able to confirm that I can be a sufficient negotiating partner.

Prince Lunikis nodded with satisfaction.

"But the name of the Sorami Republic is unheard of." What is it like? "

"Then there will be a great river within the continent, and from the beginning to the end of the great river, it will be my Sorami Republic."

Hmmm.

In advance of the negotiations, Amorous speaks frankly to the prince, who shows interest in the Sorami Republic.

The content to be told begins with history.

"The water is clean, Sanzimizu. Water transport has been prevalent in Japan since ancient times, protected by abundant land."

Huh.

As the term "gift of the Nile" is used in the advent of Egyptian civilization, roughly all of the cities that have developed more highly in this world are near rivers and seas.

Water is essential for people to live, and it is reasonable to do it next to a river when farming.

The city of Sorami, the predecessor of the Sorami Republic, was also interested in the fact that people gathered by the river.

Agriculture flourished, and trade was conducted using water transportation, the head of the mission said.

At the same time, it seems to be rural compared to the Voltuzara Kingdom and the Kingdom of God.

Amorous says that there is still a lot of room for development, and that there is a country that can look forward to the future.

“A few decades ago. It's my grandfather's time, isn't it? When the foreign countries were greatly disturbed, the surrounding land was very rough. Our land is no exception, and we have been burned to the ground again and again because of the power of the time."

"That's a terrible story."

Yes.

The colored man nodded with a face that looked like a victory at first sight.

Once upon a time of war. Even the culprits of the chaos are no longer certain now, but there were fierce battles and bloodshed across the continent.

The weaker nations are defeated by the stronger nations, and the stronger nations, if they are thought to be, are cracked up or pulled apart by the coalition. And it's a time of ugly war in the mud, fighting each other even harder.

And the city of Sorami was no exception: and some neighboring nations contended that they should not take the city of Sorami: and they repeated that which they had taken; and every time the house of the city was burned, and the riches of the city were taken away, and the people of the city were slain.

"The ruler of a city that changes." We can't defend ourselves for a long time. Those who thought so have joined forces to celebrate their country. ”

There will be no end to the fight.

A situation in which the rulers arbitrarily kill and take at their own convenience.

No one is dissatisfied with this.

If it was once or twice, I might have endured it with only this time and tears.

But the waves of the times demanded a battle from the weak.

The union of citizens who stood up with their weapons and tried to protect their city and their families finally led to the independence of the old rulers.

If it is a future textbook of world history, it will definitely be a fierce and turbulent story written over several pages.

"Did someone represent you to become king?"

“No, there is no king in our country, and the leaders we have discussed and decided are going to be at the top of the country.”

"Isn't that the king?"

"Leadership is by tenure. When the deadline comes, we'll take turns.”

At the end of the battle, a small state based on the principle of inhabitant autonomy was born, like the ancient Roman city state.

They avoided that some privileged classes would arbitrarily take the lives and property of their inhabitants.

Therefore, a system was created to determine their own affairs, and in modern times, it became a system like a democratic system.

"I see, it's an interesting story." I just heard the story and felt strongly about it. "

I'll just say that I was interested because I just heard the story. I don't talk about things that have been examined in advance.

The prince listens to the conversation in the first place.

"I hope you are interested in my country."

You must have been convinced that you made a good impression.

Amorous to make the smile even stronger. Because a man of color looks even more handsome when he smiles, it is good to be a man with a good face.

Speaking of which, I wonder if you've already eaten this country's food.

“Yes, I enjoy a different taste than my country.”

The purpose of this meeting is to confidentially meet and get to know each other.

As part of the chat, the prince asks about the meal.

“Do you have any dishes that you particularly like?”

That's right, I'm impressed by the sweetness of this country.

”Ho ho ho”

The prince glanced diagonally behind him.

There is a silver-haired young man who also works as a record clerk, but he looks like a serious clerk.

Just the way it looks.

"I was also proud of being noisy about meals, but I am often impressed with the confectionery in this country. I was surprised to see the kingdom of Voltzara.”

The crispy sound makes me happy.

It's like singing a subtle song.

There are no bad people for confectionery lovers, and a peaceful space is created.

Amorous seemed strange to me. That's right, just the feeling of the meal made it look very soothing for some reason.

The prince sneaked closer to Amorous, who seemed strange.

"Let's just talk about this."

It was a private conversation.

Amorous, I don't know what to do.

"Actually, what you said you were impressed with... is all that was taught the other day by people in our country."

"What!?"

The food in this country was terrible when the Divine Kingdom's mission first arrived.

It was the heresy of the Mortelleun family that improved it quickly.

Pais intervened aggressively, especially when it came to sweets.

Although he would have been willing to intervene without saying so, it is new to his memory that it was a direct request from Lord Rosumo, who is responsible for the state.

I'll invite you again if you like.

“I appreciate that. Thank you very much."

The meeting is to be held again.

That alone made today's face-to-face mutually fruitful.

Next, in an official setting.

Yes, the representatives of both countries secretly left the scene.
