The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Lotte's, in a certain way, as expected. Adolf shows his neck shaking left and right after breathtaking, not just telling him to exhale and do it loosely.

"... it is gratifying that you can appreciate Klaus so much. However, 'Arre' is the most prominent candidate for the next chairman of our Hotel Larchia. I'm not going to let you out."

To the gentle Adolf's refusal, Lotte laughed and waved left and right.

"Why don't you" steal "the next chairman of Hotel Larchia to the King's Palace? As I said earlier, this is' training '. With the exception of Lord Klaus and your parents' hotel, I hear you've only worked here at Hotel Larchia. What do you think? Isn't it one hand to experience the 'outside' world while you're still young?

"Neither I, nor my predecessors, nor my predecessors were born in Hotel Larchia, and I do not know any hotel other than Hotel Larchia by oligarchy. But still, Hotel Larchia continues to be Hotel Larchia. It hurts to worry, but forgive me."

It is not unusual in itself for the successors of a company to appear in the name of 'training' to other companies in the same industry or industry. According to companies, especially if they are homology-run companies, it is in itself - well, there are examples of failures, but it is true that there are many success stories equal to or greater than that. Sometimes I come back with experiences that I didn't get from my company alone that I developed elsewhere in terms of technology, thinking, or connectivity. Wang Fu, if you ask me, is a chance to grab a huge crowd of high-ranking bureaucrats and a superior if you take it to Hotel Larchia, which makes luxury a 'uri'.

- If Klaus is a 'successor' recognized by everyone, though.

Klaus' position is very subtle. Indeed, Klaus marries Elle and becomes part of 'Burkhardt', the chairman's house at Hotel Larchia. I will, but my son-in-law adopted me, and his position is not a stone. Unless this is drilled enough as a successor, I wouldn't be talking about it, but I don't have the time or free time to 'train' Klaus elsewhere as it stands. In that case, you will understand that the first thing you need to do to stay at Hotel Larchia is to consolidate your body is to look at the partnership with the Yuna Hotel. Quite frankly, Klaus can say zero with the exception of Elle, a trustworthy ally.

"Indeed, we are heavily aware that past presidents of Hotel Larchia are more polished in their work at Hotel Larchia. Yes, but isn't that why Lord Klaus doesn't have to train?

"It's..."

"Especially now Hotel Larchia is going through a transitional period. Beyond partnering with Yuna Hotel... I know it's a bad idea to say this, but isn't it possible that we're only doing the same business as we've always done with the wealthy?

……

"I think the King's Palace is an excellent 'hunting ground' in that regard. Even so, Wang Fu is not a promising bureaucracy in the future."

Well, you said 'second-rate', laughing.

"... both Yuna and Hotel Larchia will have won enough customers and their trust. But the newly woken hotel called 'Larchiana' in partnership is still just a weak player on the market. No matter how much Yuna's, how much Hotel Larchia's capital is in there."

It goes hand in hand with the theory that even in that area it is difficult to say that it is first-rate in other industries with subsidiaries' capital in them. Nothing, it's not a rare story.

"... right"

"Except for that, the war ahead, Hotel Larchia was devastated at Arre. If at that time...... right, what would have happened if there had been a 'politically competent' manager? I'm not saying I don't support Hotel Larchia's decision, but wasn't there something inside? And to you, and to the staff."

"... I will not deny it. Sure, we didn't get much out of that decision. But I did lose a lot of things. As your Excellency said, if we had political power in Hotel Larchia, we might have made another decision."

'Injection of public funds' that came out when the management of Hotel Larchia leaned. At that time, I couldn't do it for fear of excessive business interference from the royal family and the king's palace, but it might have been possible for me to do so. The heavens and the earth do not go away because we cannot be strong enough for the managers we know or the companies where the management team is located.

"Isn't it? If Lord Klaus had served in the King's Palace, we could have talked differently again. You may be mistaken, but as a man of our royal palace, we do not want to tarnish the tradition of Hotel Larchia. You didn't even have that information."

"... so you want me to serve Klaus,?

You didn't say, "Let me do it, did you? Your majesty says so."

"Isn't that what we're doing together? enforceability, in that"

It's a direct 'word' from the supreme power of the state. Regardless of how credible it is, it's not an easy story to say no.

"Well, that doesn't mean I'm going to swallow a promise."

Because this is something that will continue to concern Hotel Larchia.

"... Hmm. So what do we do?

"Our Hotel Larchia has branches in various countries. Thank you, noble people from all over the country."

"Is that it?

In Lotte's words, Adolphe takes a sip of tea and includes it in his mouth.

"It is a great shame to leave this Flame Kingdom, our homeland... but we have no choice. Transfer all headquarters functions to the Kingdom of Solvania."

That's what I say, Adolph, and I laugh and I show you. After staring at the smile, Lotte sighed as if she were frightened.

"… is it not wrong to cut the biggest card at first hand in a negotiation, but is it not slightly short-circuited?

"Say anything. Because boulders have conditions that can and cannot be swallowed."

"This is why the nine-member committee is a 'hassle'. Roat Chamber of Commerce, Becker Trade Chamber of Commerce. One thing, too extreme a way to do it."

Saying so, Lotte sighs deeply and deeply again.

"... take it to Hotel Larchia. I know Lord Klaus is a 'secret child'. And it's not that easy to get us to give up. Therefore, I will say no to your majesty."

"Let me return what I said earlier, my lord. This is why the" King's Palace "people are troublesome. If you make a mistake, convey the truth vaguely, imitate this judgment, and say a different word to your own will, I will say," I didn't mean it. "

"In addition, if you turn around behind it, it's strong, but if you're asked on a genuine basis on a table, it's weak, please add and put it down. Well, it's the habit of a bureaucrat."

"No bullshit. So? What do you want from us as that 'consideration'?

"I'll just sit here and let you do it in good faith."

"I don't trust you"

"Trust me."

"I told you, I don't care about bullshit. If you don't ask me what I'm asking for, I can't ask you to do it in good faith."

How far is it true - Adolf doesn't know if Liz went out of her way to look at Klaus, the Chamber of Commerce, who hasn't exchanged anything yet. I don't know. But still, you can't help but think there's no better reason for Lotte to be unpaid than the fact that she 'moved'.

"Come on, my lord. What do you want me to do?

That's why I said it, to Adolphe, who sees Lotte like a stare.

"There's nothing there. I don't want you to do anything."

Again, smile and Lotte says so. I felt that was not enough words, or I put my mouth on the cup of tea at hand to continue the words.

"On the contrary, I ask you, Lord Adolphe. What the hell do you think I'm looking for?

"... Isn't that decided into one"

"One?"

"The other day, Miss Zion came to see me... in favor of introducing banknotes."

To Adolph's words, after only a little rounding of his eyes, Lotte looked oddly broken and showed.

"Ha. I see, I see. But Lord Adolph, that's a hassle."

"... 'hassle'?

"Yes."

That said, put the cup of tea you had on the table.

"Hotel Larchia will be Lord Adolphe, indeed a group headed by you. But, Lord Adolph? It is not 'you' who makes Hotel Larchia decisions. It can only be decided at the management meeting, chaired by you. In a fantastic system: the council system. Different?

"... it's called 'Udo' to you, is it?

"I'll leave that decision to everyone, though. But personally, I think it's a great form, without a multiplier. You know, it's really wonderful that you don't allow the runaway of the powerful."

"... thanks for that. So?"

"I don't think you're going from end to 'yes', I am. I heard from Lord Matsuyoshi that the management meeting is a long way from here, isn't it?

"... right. At least, there are no plans to meet before the next Committee of Nine"

"So, if there is, you can't say yes." 'Cause, right? That would tarnish the traditional management meeting at Hotel Larchia. And that's something you want to avoid at all costs. "

Gently glancing at the edge of the cup of tea, Lotte turns her gaze to Adolf.

"Nothing else, for Lord Klaus, right?

……

"Lord Klaus' position is very delicate. I am related, but not close enough to say close relatives. It will be well known to you that you are married to a young lady and you are married, but you are nevertheless in a brittle position. It is a very treasured system to take it to Lord Klaus, who was not born 'Chairman', and call it a management meeting. 'Cause, right? Because you don't have to take all the responsibility alone."

"... right. For my part, there are a number of measures that I believe have been a failure. Still, it is undeniable that there was a title of bias in favor of the management meeting that did not develop to the issue of progress and exit."

"So you can't 'agree' to this proposal. Breaking that tradition of deciding on all the proposals at a management meeting would strangle my own pretty 'son'. In the future, Lord Klaus will decide the emergency by himself... No, because he doesn't want to do something like" I have to decide "alone. You don't want to make bad precedents, do you?

Talking that far, Lotte turns her gaze to Adolph. In response to that gaze, Adolphe glanced at her shoulder small.

"May I ask you a few questions, too?

"If only I could answer that."

"First...... if that's all you think about, do I need to let Miss Scion and Coata Matussillo come to my 'persuasion'? Don't you think it's a waste of time?

"Because I couldn't even deny the idea that it was my solitude. The circumstantial evidence was not conclusive. Plus, I've decided it's well worth a try."

"I let you expose me," he said?

"No. I thought you could appreciate the partnership with Yuna the other day, so I thought, 'Or'. I must say, the outlook for that was quite sweet."

"I guess so."

"But... right. Ten years later. If it had been ten years, there might have been another different development. If Lord Klaus had grown to be a successor, even Lord Matsuyoshi and Shion might have been" persuaded "to do so. Different?

"... there's no chance, is there? If only Klaus had been recognized by anyone as his' successor '."

"... very personally, Lord Klaus already thinks he has enough qualities for a successor?

"There are a lot of places in Klaus' ability to admit it, too. But it's not just about the simple qualities and abilities, so the job of chairman of Hotel Larchia. I'm scared."

"Is that the kind of thing"

"Yeah. And the only way to do that is to be the 'water' of Hotel Larchia. I don't have time to train elsewhere in Klaus, who was not born 'Hotel Larchia'"

That's what I said, I sighed deeply - and Adolf smiled bitterly.

"That's my last question. Can you tell us why you came all the way out here today until you found out that I don't agree?

to that word.

"It's easy. Are you really trying to figure out if you don't agree?

To Lotte, who said so like nothing, Adolph raised his hands to reinforce the colour of bitter laughter.

"... Yep. I don't agree."

"That's all you need to hear. Oh, what about the nine-member committee?

"I'll join you. Honestly, there's no need for my Hotel Larchia to be in that ring."

"That's what they say. Honorable, isn't it?

"I don't want to suffer from 'hard work' like talking to you in honor."

That being said, Adolph mouths a completely warmed cup of tea.

"By the way, can I ask you something for your information?

"Well, what is it?

"Is it a fact that His Majesty said 'I want Klaus in the king's house'...

"... is that story important?

"It matters, my lord."

"... Hmm. So, shall we do this? Even if it is a lie, I say, 'Lord Klaus is excellent. Be sure to say that it is a necessary human resource for the King's Palace', it is a fact and -"

"Oh, it's not"

Block the talking lotte.

"We are very aware of your relationship with Your Majesty. If you say 'excellent', Klaus will be rated 'excellent'. And even if it's not a 'now' fact, I know better that any of it will be a fact"

"... So why do you say it's important?

Give a surprised lotte a nothin 'look.

"Simply...... if 'son' is recognized, it would be a pleasant thing, wouldn't it?

Rarely, it was for a moment that I opened my mouth to pocan like I was taken aback.

"- Ha ha! I see, I see! This is this lotte, this has been taken one!

Lotte looking fun to break her face.

"Ha ha. Excuse me, right. Sure, that's true. You'll be worried, Lord Adolphe. Your Majesty certainly acknowledges that Klaus Burkhardt is excellent. He said he was a rare personable person and a promising young man in charge of the future of Hotel Larchia."

"... With all due respect, has His Majesty ever met Klaus?

"What do you think? Your Majesty stays at the Hotel Larchia every time he travels, but I don't know if I know Lord Klaus."

"The... So why?

Larchia is the city where the king lives. If you ask me, "Your Majesty the King" will not be the first to stay in the main building of Larchia, beyond what may be Liz's lap. The regional branch manager class will also have the opportunity to visit Liz during an outing, but Klaus is a part of the main building. I don't know Adolf by oligarchy that he and Liz are face-to-face enough to be evaluated as' personable 'at the very least.

"I don't know if Lord Klaus and His Majesty know each other, but I understand why His Majesty appreciates Lord Klaus, don't you?

"Professor, if you wish."

"It's easy."

Take a breath.

"Lord Klaus is Zion's friend."

".............................. what?

Now Adolph opens his mouth and shows it, as he did with the earlier Lotte's re-baking.

"... it seems to expose the shame in my body. It is arr... this is what Theon... what shall I say?

"... no... no matter what I'm told"

"Shall I call it ironless, unplanned, or just an asshole... anyway, he's some kind of 'unscrupulous' person. The roof of the Larchia Auditorium will blow up, and you'll terrorize half of the students at the University of Larchia with food poisoning. Normally, people like that would give up their love, right?

"... Yep"

"Still, Lord Klaus is with you at all times without abandoning Scion. Theon served as Sire's educational guide. Always, His Majesty said." I'm sure Klaus is a wonderful human being to be able to be friends with Theon. "

……

Adolph, there are no words.

"... you've made such a human being a good, well, guide to His Majesty's education, haven't you? Is it a human resource difficulty?

"Very unfortunately...... excellence is excellent, no doubt. Also, I don't have a great deal of political credo with me. It's also unlikely to imprint a lot on Your Majesty poorly... and in that respect His Majesty's guiding role is perfect, to put it perfectly. I'm close, I'm a woman."

"... before excellence, I've never heard the words' unfortunately 'attached."

"I've never followed anything but Theon either."

That said, Lotte takes a small sigh and makes her smile look bitter.

"Well, in that sense, I thank Lord Klaus, too."

"... thank you. Should I say thank you, or should I say choose a friend, I'm lost in judgment?

"I trust you'll stay with Scion after choosing, I am. Well, it's a hopeful observation."

That said, Lotte takes a seat.

"... you've stayed long. Now if you'll excuse me."

"I don't know what to do."

For the first time today, Adolf smiles with a heartfelt smile. Lotte also laughed so that she could stick around and keep saying the words.

"No, it was a conversation that meant enough to me. Now, Lord Adolph, while you..."

Talk that far, Lotte cuts the words.

"... I completely forgot. Lord Adolph, there was one request."

To that word, Adolf tightens his slackened expression. At the end of the day, Lotte turns her smile into a bitter laugh at how much of a 'bomb' she's dropping into a vigilant Adolphe.

"I'm not saying it's not a big deal, but it's not a big deal."

"... what is it?

Wave gently at Adolph like that.

"What, next time there's a Chinese candlestick in the Kingdom of Laurento. At that time, I thought I'd make an appointment at the Laurento branch of Hotel Larchia.

I joked. I showed Lotte that, in many ways, Adolph was weak.
