Tearmoon Empire Story
Episode Eight: Princess Meer, showing off Doya's face
Meet him, it sucked.
On that day, Meer was visiting a youth clerk for comfort.
My first impression was, it wasn't so bad. No, it was better.
Sarah's hair stretched out to the point where her ears were hidden, across a lens of small foreign glasses, and cool eyes emitted intelligent light.
Although it felt a little cold, a very neat face was enough for Meer's aesthetic eye.
So Meer spoke gently with a smile that rarely appeared to the civilian population.
Nevertheless, the answer returned was:
"Do you know how much it costs you royal meals?
This was it. And with a very cold, freezing voice.
"What, what? Wouldn't you be a little rude?
Suddenly, Meer made her eyes black and white.
The glasses young man in front of me was apparently angry, but I have no idea why, he's angry.
It's hardly anything that pissed me off, Meer.
Well, I don't know what it means to be told that by the first person I meet.
"Why, in the first place, do you have to come to work and be told that!
Yes, it is. She is now saying thank you to the person in front of her.
An empire set in distress by financial collapse, epidemics, minority tribal insurgencies. In a situation where many civilians and martial arts officers, even ministers, could escape, Meer heard about a young civilian struggling with the lone army,
"That's quite an inspiring story. I should pay you a quick visit."
So I thought, this is how it came about. He came and did it!
Yet! Yet!
The loyal youth clerk said a cold word with his chilled eyes behind his glasses, hissing, and turning here.
"Of you royals..."
Hey, I was nasty. On top of that,
"It's disturbing when you can stand there forever. If you have time, do what the princess can only do, Her Highness Princess Meer"
- What a treat! You mustn't forgive this man!
Meer was angry that day and couldn't sleep much.
Even after I walked into bed, I banged my pillow with a critical toothpick... and when I noticed it was morning when I was jittering my hands and feet.
And, well, it sucked to meet like that.
But it was true that he was running around to rebuild the empire even after Meer was captured in prison.
He also appealed to me to release Meer, and of all the ministers who were there, he and Anne were the only two who came to see me the day I was executed.
That's why Meer's trust in him is huge.
- Well, if you have a little more mouth, I have nothing to say.
"... Well, if that's all you have to say, I order Ludwig Third Class Tax Officer, your honor, to make an assignment to Red Moon Province"
While that was happening, things were rolling.
- Oh, yeah. It was Ludwig, his name... Red Moon Province?
"... go to the region, do you mean?
"Exactly. If we increase local taxes, we can avoid what you call an imperial crisis, right?
"But..."
- Oh, that's not good. These, those insidious glasses, are about to be flown to the region!
Meer was in a great hurry.
It wasn't until after the Tiermoon Empire went out of control that he returned to the Imperial Capital after being flown to the region.
That is……,
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Soon Meer jumped out of the shadows and stepped forward before the two of them.
"Hey, wait a minute!
"Oh, my God... be... Mi, Her Royal Highness Princess Meer"
"I've heard a lot about you."
"This is an ugly thing to show you…"
To Meer, who suddenly appeared, his boss's man said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"I don't mind. Besides, I'm not impressed. Flying young officials to the province cheaply. I want you to have a lot of arguments and work for the Empire."
"Yes, no, but..."
Mia glanced at the official who said something.
"Oh? Can't you hear me?
"Huh? No, no, no, no, no, no."
"Yes, I'm glad. By the way, did the young man there, uh, sure, Mr. Ludwig or something, say?
"Oh, ha..."
Suddenly, he talks and Ludwig raises his confused voice.
"I need to talk to you for a second, would you mind?
Meer grabbed Ludwig's hand and took him behind the building.
"Um, what is it? Me... No, I have a job..."
Until earlier, it was Ludwig who looked distracted somewhere, but now it looked white whether he regained his calm.
"I'd like to talk to you for a moment."
"Um, I said I'm busy..."
"I need you to tell me something."
"... Are you okay? You're more selfish than listening."
Ludwig sighed after shrugging his shoulders in a bit of a shudder.
"So, what do you want to hear?
"Well, if we're going to get straight, how can we rebuild the Empire's finances?"
When I heard that, Ludwig's eyes became so thin.
"Well, then, shall I ask? Your Highness Princess Meer, do you know how much it costs for your meal?
As if, laughing with his nose to fool around, Ludwig said.
In contrast,
"Well, I guess I just said a slice of March Gold for about a month of your salary per meal?
It was Meer answering with the best Doya face.
