The Economics of Prophecy

"I'm sorry for your loss."

"... Could it be you, Ricardo?

I raised my hands reflexively, as if I were a salaried man mistaken by a moron. The princess looks a little horrified that she figured out who I am.

"Kusu. This is a place for all students."

The princess's laughter broke the bondage. Situation of being alone. Adult hairstyles are more than usual...... No, no, not in that case, where did this princess come in from? I don't think he was in the library before me.

"How could Her Royal Highness be in a place like this?

As soon as he did, Zhu smeared on his white cheek.

"Well, I'm really supposed to be taking Dr. Fulsey's lecture..."

"Dr. Fulsey.................. Oh, the librarian's."

If you look closely, behind the library, you can see a different door than I came in. I guess it leads from the location to the curator's office. I didn't know.

"I'm embarrassed. I'm often reading here this time of year. Because that's not a lot of time in the diocese."

"Don't worry. I will never speak to His Highness."

"Thank you. Ricardo, why are you here?

When I tried to turn back that it was not a good idea to interrupt my patience reading, those words hung. This is the hardest part. In my abilities, I can't tell if I heard it once as a social dictionary or if I'm really interested. Not to mention heterosexual opponents.

The princess's gaze is right at the book in my hand. Apparently, it's true you're interested.

"Yes I am looking for this book..."

I showed you the cover of the book. At the next moment, cold sweat flowed remembering the origins of the author. Quattle Ferbach is a family of Dukes of Ferbach who rebelled ten years ago. Apparently, he was not involved in treason, but he died ten years ago while imprisoned. Honestly, I have to say it's a waste of talent, but that's not the problem.

Felbach's turmoil is a major incident for a stable kingdom, a foul spot in history. How can a person who sneaks a book of its associates into a library read it in the eyes of a royal family? My protection is a wind lamp.

"Wow, our Chamber of Commerce merchandise was associated with the western climate, vegetation, etc. I'm studying with this wonderful book from this college."

"Oh, maybe it's honey?

"... Yes. Not only that, of course, but there were many things in this book that were detailed with Western flora and fauna that would help."

I dare praise you honestly to emphasize that it is a business. If it's my ability, it's best to tell the truth as it is at times like this. The princess was interested in honey.

Except that's the best of the minefields.

That village, which taught beekeeping, was an old realm of Felbach relatives, who were still being treated cold after becoming a direct jurisdiction. That's why I actually convinced my dad to come up with a proposal because of the straw.

One wrong step could be taken as criticism of politics.

Confirmed his expression. The princess remains smiling. No, why seems happier without a heart than just now?

"I am this book"

The princess put up the book with both hands at the height of my gaze. The brown leather cover is dazzling with white hands that it has never even hit the day.

"'Prince Cornwell's Journey'? Actually, I've read it, too."

"Is it true"

The princess's face sparkled. "Prince Cornwell's Journey" is a traveling romantic novel written by the bard. Content that the Duke gives himself up to the poet and helps the heroines of the towns as he travels. If I do, there will be colorful bandits out there, or inadvertent men with no eyes for food.

Of course the protagonist is not an energetic old man who fights with a cane, but a handsome prince with a rapier.

I read it as a reference to how to promote it to people in this world, so I'm not the same kind of person the princess would expect.

"The stage is western, so I remember the towns and villages I went to in business with my father."

"Well. Ricardo, you're familiar with the West, aren't you? I'm leaving King's Capital, I've never left. Is it true that" a red-purple flower garden on one side as far as I can see "in this book? I've never seen a red purple flower before."

I've been listening with my eyes shining. What boxes of wild grass flower gardens are rare? The exception is for flashy and sweeping horticultural varieties such as roses and lilies blooming in the gardens of Wang Du. Roses are blue, by the way. Anyway, it's not uncommon for villagers to have flowers. Places that are not suitable for cultivation or where exploration has not progressed are mostly meadows.

"Well, when it comes to small flowers, the sight of the white to red gradient covering as much ground as you can see is a sight to behold."

"Well, that must be as beautiful as a dream..."

The crossing is ongoing. It is true that red purple flowers are rare. But the flowers are for me a honey source for beekeeping, grass without a golden tree. It's a versatile plant that will be pasture and green fertilizer. There is also careful attention to this topic. This is why it's so hard to talk to the upper classes.

I ask for the princess's face......................... I'm opening my eyes and listening to the story. I'm so out of shape.

Renge flowers only grow in the red woods of the southwest like that village. The nearest city is only......

"If you're a cathedral in Bertoldo, you might see it between trips"

"Is it Bertoldo? It's my aunt's territory!

"Oh, really? Then there will be an opportunity…"

That's the princess, and relatives aren't the norm. Bertoldo is the number one city in the West. No, no, why does it connect like this? I ask for the princess's expression again. But she smiled lonely.

"But it's hard for me to leave the King's Capital when I work. Attending this academy is thanks to my Aunt Euphilia."

Regardless of the princess whose brain is in the flower garden, the one on that aunt doesn't know what she's thinking. Let Meer look into it.

Concon, concon.

Suddenly I heard a knock. Looks like the door leading to the curator's office was knocked. Stiffen yourself by remembering the woman knight's sharp eyes, but the door doesn't open.

Alfina slowly closed the book.

"Thank you for sharing your fun stories with us today"

I get up in a hurry, too, to her as she raises her hips with the sound of rubbing clothes. The rattling chair made a noise. It is a stunning contrast between the noble princess and the civilian population. Alfina gave me her right hand, without blaming me.

"Let me talk to you again if you like"

"Yes, … it's an honor"

I held a white hand. Silky sensations and temperatures erode palms and consciousness. Hands away, Alfina leaves behind the door. Looking at that back, I thought it would be a shame for some reason that the warmth of my palms disappeared. I realize I'm finally open, but I'm looking at closed doors with resentment.

"You don't care about girls living in different worlds..."

If you squeal like that, you go to the right exit.

When I got out of the library, I saw Meer in the browsing room. Some female students, just like us, are civilians. Meer approached me in the shadow of the bookshelf when she stood up subtly.

"......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Hurry the Fourth Princess. Especially with Grand Duke Bertoldo."

"Okay."

Meer looked a little suspicious and accepted the instructions. I'll look into the background of my classmates, even though I was biased against Drefano, which is something I've been doing.

But bitter feelings come out of the back of my chest.... No, I'm doing what I need to do.

"... and there was definitely a souvenir from the children of the village in the luggage..."

To shake it off, I added a small errand.

Until the New Year's Festival, it was just a day to leave a week behind.
