The Economics of Prophecy

Two Stories: First Half Invitation

"Normal room than I thought."

"............... right"

The size is about the curator's office before it was expanded, and the walls are brown. One by one is never a crude thing but the conditioning looks minimal. I was sitting in the Imperial Empress's private room, and I was a little slapped out. I went in for sympathy when Alfina fell, nothing compared to her private room. All the more so because that would suck in the royalty of the kingdom.

No, and the possibility that this isn't really a private room... Do you think too much about boulders?

It's only a six-month temporary inn for Lisaberto. Besides, it was only recently that this place was treated as an imperial ”public house”. Until then, they should have said "merchant hall." The doorways and hallways were not particularly luxurious until they came to the room either.

"Calm down, both of you."

Lilka told me she was just looking around. Of all the three invited civilians, she's the only one who's calm. You can count on your fearless personality at times like this.

"I know. This is enemy territory, so to speak."

"... even though it was Lilka who recommended lamb to Master Lisaberto. Vinder, unlike you, I am ordinary. You're a real civilian."

"I'm not a fake. If you're gonna say that, Shelly's a lot more of a lady."

Yes, we were summoned to the Imperial Palace as a thank you for the lamb, no, we were invited.

"... I guess it's time they pulled it out on a commercial scale"

"It's off the record, Shelly."

Lilka told a friend. Just then the door opened.

"Thank you for waiting"

Lisa Belt, with her own tray, came in with a woman dressed like two samurai. I am tying my purple hair and draping it forward. Slightly loose eye blouse and skirt. That's a much crusher impression than a college uniform.

Is it one hand to say that you show me what I normally do? Even if I know it, it gets a little bit worse when a beautiful girl does it to me. Sad manhood.

"Though I'm ashamed to say Yookan's payback. It's a treat from my hometown."

Lisa Belt puts a plate in front of us. One of the samurai pours tea into the cup. The other is looking at us with his bare hands and unreadable eyes of emotion. Is it an escort? Anyway, we're civilians from another country.

The brown dough is served with citrus and hung with honey. You're right, it feels simple. Although the lamb looks more plain. Speaking of lamb, is that my hometown treat in a way?... you should never be known.

I got a terrible treat in my hand. A slightly hardened tooth, a rustic, grainy, coarse tongue.

"That, this sweetness..."

The sweet honey hanging on top is not honey. Is it maple syrup on Garrett? Are you convinced that the Empire has many mountains? Sounds like it's a lot more than chocolate coming out.

"I thought honey was used to eating"

Lisa Belt said to me with a naughty smile. On the other hand, my spine freezes. Careful, I don't know this is a sap boiler.

It's an invitation a few days after the prophecy came out. It's too much timing. Anyway, I need to make sure I don't give you any extra information. Instead, we need to extract information. "Are you planning on an Imperial Army visit to Bertoldo soon? ♪ But you ask. ♪ It's too ridiculous.

The next question is how rare that carriage is for the Empire. On the day you ask me about military secrets, I can't leave here alive.

"The moist sweetness goes with the fabric,"

"Su, I think it's lovely sweetness"

Lilka and Shelley said. I want more trees to produce this than syrup.

"I was really surprised by the ice cream from the tea party. That was a treat like a symbol of the richness of the kingdom. I heard that Master Alfina is often spent in the diocese, so I'm afraid he put a burden on you. That's what His Highness Dorisdia said."

Oh, I see, that's what you're talking about losing. He did a good job of showing the Empire Alfina's financial strength because it didn't do him any good.

"Besides, I was also surprised by Yookan. It's a very sweet and tongue-touched treat, and it's rare in the kingdom, isn't it? I thought I'd pick it up, and I was surprised to hear the price from the Plura Chamber of Commerce"

The princess looked a little off. I think it's useless for the Crown Princess to appeal to the commoners. I mean, if we're going to do that in the kingdom, we could lose our reputation the other way around. Does it feel different from the Empire?

Besides, there are quite a few sights to appreciate lamb. Speaking of empires, it's black. Perhaps there is no aversion to color...... No, no, no, if you're really getting a social dictionary?

I'm not cholly enough to be cautious about my hometown (previous life) treats in a praiseworthy position. I told Alfina yesterday at the academy, Meer at home, and even Pulra and Vinaldia, who were mistaken in the hallway of the academy before I got here.

"Stop declaring war on the Empire or something" was a terrible joke leading up to Dalgan. Looks like Lilka and Shelley didn't take it.

"Yes, here too, the beans are near the mountains, in areas that are no match for wheat..."

Water is pointed at Lisaberto, and Shelley talks about Yokan raw materials. If you're talking about business with boulders, you have a decent response. Lisa Belt is a hostly listener.

"Well, that's what happened at the college festival..."

"Yes, so Vinder gathered us at the beginning..."

Lilka even talks about the establishment of the Central Garden at Shaoxian Festival as she is asked. If they think it's student play, it's convenient, okay?

No, that black prince tried to make contact with Alfina is also the Sauhyan Festival. Maybe there's some intention.

"It feels good to hear about Lord Ricardo's work. I heard that the Crownheight Kingdom is a very stable country, and that's all the more so."

It was my story at some point. Leezaberto kept his mouth shut. He flaunts at me.

"Yes, it is, because we always start suddenly doing something different, so something pulls us around. Hey, Shelly."

"Oh, yes, it is. Say one thing after another, when you make yokan, there's no clapping."

I have a real sense of Shelley's words.

"Does that mean that sweet is the idea of Lord Ricardo?"

"Blessed are the edges of men"

I answered instantly looking at Lilka and Shelley. It's easy not to have to lie.

"Well. When I do listen to you two, you look very trusted. Besides, His Royal Highness Alfina seemed to rely on Lord Vinder as well. How many national calamities did you leave with the power of prophecy, His Royal Highness Alfina?"

"Terrible. I am only one of the people helped by Master Alfina."

The topic rolled out in a nasty direction. After all, is it aimed at Alfina's prophecy?

"Speaking of which, what kind of place is the home of His Royal Highness Lisaberto?"

I changed the subject. Did they pull out all this information?

"Actually, it's close to the King's Capital. Well, suppose this is the great river of hope..."

Lisa Belt drew a line with her fingers on the table.

"Is it the Great River of Hope?

"Yes, that's what the Empire calls the river between us and the kingdom... So, if I were an empire, my hometown would be..."

We're talking about a de facto border line, but I don't see the color of tension in Lisaberto. The Empress laid her finger north of the Wang capital, near the middle stream of the Great River.

"What, there?"

I said it unexpectedly. Near the mountains of blood. Close to that place I thought was the best location for an international trade city. To my reaction, not only the Empress, but Lilka and Shelley were decent.

"Is it near the Devil's Mountains"

Trying to fix it, I said. Saying next door, it's Warcraft territory, and it doesn't necessarily mean the Empress has information.

First of all, there's no way I can tell you that I want a neighborhood in your hometown. Dalgan's joke could be real.

"... Yes. Such as the onslaught of vicious dragons that were defeated earlier in the kingdom. The people of my hometown live in fear of the Warcraft."

Lisaberto clouded his face. My foot was stepped from left to right. Shit, it's like you're purposefully waving a landmine topic from the edge.

I should have left it to Lilka or Shelley to hear it out indirectly.

"So I think Lord Vinder is great that he contributed to the dragon crusade"

Brighten your face, Lisaberto told me.

"Terrible. The dragon crusade featured the bravery of His Highness Craig."

Lisaberto silenced my words for a moment. You look like you thought you would.

"Lord Vinder. I have one favor to ask you."

"... what would it be like for me"

I asked with the utmost vigilance.

"I'm talking about His Royal Highness Craig, the Knight Commander. I hear Lord Vinder is also familiar with His Highness Craig. I was wondering if you could tell me I wanted to see you."

I see. And if you think you're going to lift it, the rich good-looking guy you know was looking for. All right, all right, this would be easy to understand. It's a development that I've had experience with in previous life.

That's half as a joke, after all, is Craig and the Greedy Dragon Crusade the target?

"... so busy that they're saying no"

Craig still seems to be saying no. The Empress's caregiver is roughly Dorisdia of the Second Prince's Valve. It won't work very enthusiastically, I guess. He's looking at me like a straw.

"I'm sorry, the intermediary between Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness is beyond my means."

If I see Craig, I have to tell him the Empress is after him. If they find out about the pollen.

"I'm sorry. You came here to thank me, but I couldn't."

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you"

"Speaking of which, a treat called French Toast with a reputation in Wang Du..."

Lisaberto quickly changed the subject when he looked like he was really sorry.

"Dear Lisaberto, It's time."

Said the maid, perhaps an escort, who had refrained behind him as the story continued to be unusual. Let's try to pour some new tea. One samurai's movement stopped. Lisaberto looked at us unfortunately.

"It's a shame. I wanted to hear more about you."

"Yes, no, it's just an honor to have your busy Highness take the time like this."

Honestly, I wanted to hear a little more about the Devil's Mountains, but there's no way I'm going to talk about what's at stake over there. Later, let Jacob and the others find you with the keyword "home of the Third Empress." This was a harvest when it came to harvest.

"Now, thank you at the college."

Lisbeth told us she was coming all the way to the entrance.

◇ ◇

"... you seemed like a kind person"

"Right..."

I just left the office, and Shelley said it was smudging.

I agreed unexpectedly. However, it has nothing to do with the position of the enemy allies as to whether the person is gentle or not. Tell you what, he's a sweet wolf and a terrible wolf. Doesn't make any difference to the rabbits that are eaten. Being a wolf is the most important attribute, and other things are only trivial.

Not to mention, he's a person who can act that doesn't look like an act to me, no matter what I think.

"I did a little hitting along the way, but you were a grown-up for Vinder. Unlike Shelly, who promised to come with me to Senior Plura's."

"...... lilka. You're coming with me."

Shelley reached Lilka with a desperate face. It's a pleasure to apprentice me, I've recently gained more retention.
