"Is something delicious...?"

His Majesty looked at us as he murmured.

I couldn't distinguish the emotions in those eyes, but they were colored to attract people.

It may be the King's style, which deprives others of sight in one move.

"Naturally, it's fresh to be told again by others."

"...... hello, didn't you like it?

"No, I just thought it was your word."

You think it's me?

Does that mean I'm greedy for food?

... well, that's the truth.

It is surprising that His Majesty was able to discern him without much friendship.

"How did His Majesty know I was interested in food?

"... if you look at it... you'll see"

Was it that easy to understand?

When I was against His Majesty, I was going to wear more cats.....

"In the first place, if people weren't twice as interested in food, they wouldn't be able to bring strawberries here today to be recognized as food ingredients. You weren't afraid that you might be punished for offering poison and mysterious strawberries in front of me, the king?

"No, I didn't have that fear. I don't think His Majesty would punish me without asking about our situation."

I made a smile to show my confidence in His Majesty.

Your Majesty's impression is cold and inaccessible.

However, after seeing the behavior at the birthday festival and the behavior in the past for a short time, I was convinced that I was not a human being who wielded power irrationally.

"If His Majesty had explained strawberries to me, he would have approved their cultivation in the out-of-court. In fact, in addition to that, I received a compliment that it was delicious. I would like to thank you again."

"... that's the queen of the weirdo to be happy with just one word of deliciousness.... but despite the circumstances, the political situation in this country has forced you to live in isolation. I was going to give you jewelry and luxury to comfort your boredom....."

"No, thank you, but we don't accept such items. There are some things I would like instead, may I say something?

"What is it?

Your Majesty has urged me first.

"Thank you very much. Let's start with the first. I'd like to cut through the woods near the Away Palace, develop strawberry fields, and build a Griffon hut. Can you give me permission?

"It's no problem if you don't put a significant hand on the isolated building itself. Let's turn around carpenters and people who can play dirt."

"Thank you very much. It's a reward for the carpenters....."

"I'll hold it there. You don't have to worry."

"No, let me pay. I would like you to pay for this item."

Get the hidden (pockets) of the dress.

The removed object does not resemble a room in a luxurious imperial castle.

"... slicker brush"

"Oh, Your Majesty, you knew."

My ears are fast.

The slicker brushes made with this Refining were already serving Edgar and the Wolverine.

The Wolf is directly under the Royal Family.

If His Majesty the King Glenn Reed knew about the slicker brush, it wouldn't have been strange.

"This brush is an object I made with the magic of Refining. Unfortunately, it will break in a few days....."

The truth is, you can make brushes that won't break for more than a month, but it's a secret because magic in this world is out of common sense.

As a precaution, the brush intentionally adjusted the strength so that rattling came in about ten days and told Edgar and the others to dispose of it every few days, so the plain cheese should not be found.

"But this brush is a useful tool that makes it easier to care for beasts with wolves and furs."

"Oh, I know. That's why it feels so good... when the wolves talk to me like it feels good, I hear it from the wolves."

His Majesty was nodding.

"It seems to be popular and most importantly. So this brush, if the blacksmith's hand could replicate it, would it make a huge profit?

"... you're going to give me the right to this slicker brush?

"Yes, I thought it would be a waste to just use it with me and Wolf."

"What a waste... There are many beasts in this country, and beasts often have some kind of beast to themselves. If we succeed in replicating this brush, we'll make a lot of money, like you said. That is why, in exchange for labor costs for strawberry farm maintenance, a great deal of wealth must certainly be generated. As a consideration for labor costs, it's like we're not getting along. Is there anything else you'd like from donating your brushes?

"... it's so helpful to talk quickly."

Your Majesty, my head was spinning so fast that I knew the existence and value of the slicker brush.

"Actually, I can use Refining to make some other tools. But if that fact becomes widespread, it may attract unnecessary attention. I need your help to avoid such a situation."

It is a "refining" that can make various convenient goods, such as slicker brushes and foams, but it is originally a difficulty magic that takes years to make one kind of object.

The servant of the House of Separation serves me, but at the same time he is a man in this country and under His Majesty.

If the tools made in "Refining" had been used in the Separation House, the sight of His Majesty might have known of their existence, in addition to the slicker brush.

Then I wanted to tell His Majesty about the Refining beforehand and ask him to help me keep the information from spreading.

"... okay. In my name, I will tell the servants of the Separated Palace not to leak about your" refining ". Fortunately, you seem to have a good relationship with the servants of the detached, so no servant should be able to proceed to your disadvantage."

"Thank you."

"But the fact is that I doubt that I can jump all the trouble about 'refining'. The court magician's bodley seemed so excited because of the Refining you demonstrated on your birthday."

"... I'm going to deal with you."

I had already received an offer from Mr. Bodley to meet and talk to him once.

Mr. Bodley seems to be traveling away from King's Landing right now, but I have a feeling he will attack me with questions as soon as he returns.

I wanted to go in a less conspicuous direction while thinking about your countermeasures.

I see. Then you should be prepared.... you said you had a few wishes, didn't you? Tell me what else you have. "

"Now, tell us. What does His Majesty intend to do about Natalie's treatment?

"... Natalie. I'm going to punish the Duke, her father, not herself. Specifically, I intend to have some of the profits from the Duke's port city paid directly to the country in the coming years."

"I think it's a reasonable punishment, but will the Duke accept it?

"Ah, you'll have to accept it. The thieves are Dears, but the blame lies with his master, Natalie. Even if Natalie was branded disqualified and banished, he couldn't complain, so if he could avoid it, the Duke would have wanted it."

Indeed, Your Majesty may be right.

The Duchess sent to the royal castle as a queen candidate is sent back as a sinner.

It is no more disgraceful as a Duke, and Natalie's chances of becoming the next queen will be crushed.

Unfortunately, Natalie's current parents didn't have any daughters to be queen candidates other than Natalie.

If Natalie is banished, the Duke will be forced out of the next queen's struggle.

Of course, even Natalie's reputational damage from this theft is deeply rooted, but there is still no chance of becoming the next queen.

Besides, Your Majesty, you don't want Natalie kicked out.

If Natalie disappears, the power relationship between the remaining queen candidates to fill the gap may change dramatically and develop into a dispute.

Avoiding such a situation and retaining Natalie as the queen's candidate would have been a profitable choice for Her Majesty had she been able to sell her favors to her parents.

Ask more about fines imposed on the Duke's territory and moisten his slightly dry throat with tea.

The poured liquid is already warm.

I may have stayed a little too long.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for inviting me in my busy day. I think it's time for your next appointment, and I'll be free."

"............ ahh"

His Majesty nodded, but there seemed to be something unfortunate.

If you wonder, wipe and distract your eyes.

Behind Your Majesty's gaze was an empty chiffon cake plate.

"Your Majesty, was the strawberry dish you brought with you today not enough to eat?

"... maybe."

"Thank you very much. Would you like me to bring strawberry to you the next time you cook?

"No, it's not that much, but... The next time you visit me, you can bring me one of your souvenirs. I'd like to ask you directly about this slicker brush and your Refining."

They still liked the desire to cook as a souvenir.

I left you thinking about what to eat next.
