The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

- Permission to expand armaments.

I guess that impact worked.

Playing with the staircase railings didn't piss me off.

The mansion staircase was so splendid that it made me want to shake it up a bit.

I lost my desire and slipped.

(No, I'm not. I don't care about that now)

But now is not the time to think about it.

Isaac waves and tries to forget he's playing with the railings.

(We need money to do enough arms expansion to fight the royal family. Dwarf's interests want to be monopolized. When that happens, Count Bristol's about to move on, another trading route is in sight. We need to thwart the plan in a way that no one points the back finger at us...)

Isaac squeezes his wisdom, "Can't you do something about it?"

When I thought about falling into this kind of person, I somehow turned my head around.

Originally, did you have good body specs?

Or I don't know if my young body is speeding up my head rotation.

But it didn't even cover my lack of experience or knowledge, so I'm sorry to hear that there.

(Sieghardt likes it, so he should give this one some priority when it comes to the deal. You don't have to. I just need to be in the safe zone and help them dance on their own)

That's the hard part, Isaac grins tiredly.

That's right, Isaac has also noticed that he's starting to get noticed lately.

As in the case of the Carmine Chamber of Commerce, resolving the problem through violence will disappoint many people.

Besides, it leaves a deep-rooted scourge on the neighboring Count of Bristol.

I had to think carefully about what I would do for the future before doing it.

- Avoid your responsibilities, while making them regret that they were wrong.

We need to think and implement that way.

Even if we can be somewhat forceful to the merchant opponents of the Wang Capital, we must use a modest method against the same aristocrat, the Earl of Bristol.

(Is it a convenient way? If I'm just going to kill you, I'll come up with some...)

At a time like this, I regret that I should have read a novel or comic book about a more plain political story.

I have a hard time figuring out how to do this because I don't have anything I can reference.

(... no, there is! There's a way!

What you need to have is family.

My great-grandfather Jude, whom I had never met, saved Isaac from his troubles.

How many times have I read what my great-grandfather did and thought, "What are you doing?"

But that helps now.

(You'll find out when you use it as it is, so you have to arrange some. But if you succeed, you can target your opponent's self-destruction)

The wisdom of our forefathers is great.

The vicious trap that took people's minds backwards also comes to mind easily if you refer to what Jude did.

I know what the Dwarves once said, "It's hard to come up with something new."

(Then let's not hesitate to borrow your grandfather's wisdom)

The countermeasure that I came up with.

I started getting ready so I wouldn't waste it.

----------

When the year began to dawn and the surroundings began to float with the resumption of interaction with Dwarves as they currently are.

Isaac started acting.

- The aim is the residence of the Earl of Bristol.

The ploy is sometimes bold and simple is also effective.

'Cause everyone can be alarmed that they're not supposed to do that.

Isaac decided to take only Glenn as his companion and board the enemy land.

Besides, without an appointment.

Naturally, the servant working at the Count of Bristol's residence was bewildered by an unplanned visitor.

But the visitor is Isaac Welrod.

He is an indispensable opponent in the Wang capital.

You can't leave without saying, "Go home because you don't have an appointment".

The deacon, who saw that a servant could not cope, comes out to the front door to cope with Isaac.

"We apologize for your luck with your legs, but our lord Roger is out. If you want to book a meeting, we can."

No matter how much Isaac we now turn to, lawlessness will not be tolerated by the Count's main opponent.

Include gently "appoint" in the words.

I understood what that meant, but Isaac was flat out.

Because that's what I know and do.

"Yeah, I know Uncle Bristol's not here."

"So what can I do for you?

He also knows that the Earls of Bristol are trying to make a trade route with Dwarves.

If I hadn't come to see Roger on that matter, I didn't know what I was here for.

"I'd like to talk to Mr. Conrad. About us."

Isaac laughed niggly.

The grin was not a child's grin, but made the deacon feel as if it contained something dim.

Conrad Bristol.

He is the belly brother of Count Roger Bristol.

He looks like a temperate uncle.

The Earl of Bristol went out, aimed at when he remained in the mansion, and Isaac came to visit for a reason.

Because he was the key to fulfilling Isaac's purpose.

"So, what's the business?

Conrad had a frightened look on his face.

But you're still seeing Isaac.

His role was to support his brother Roger, so he thought it was in his role to meet Isaac.

That kind of personality was also in the information I examined, so it was all in the calculation that they would meet me this way.

"I apologize for suddenly pushing you. But I wanted to talk to you while Count Bristol was away..."

To the words, Conrad openly puts his face to face.

He had heard a lot of rumors about Isaac, too.

"Didn't you come here to stop the Count of Bristol from doing business with the Dwarves?" and be vigilant.

The idea was right.

But I couldn't think of a way to stop it.

"If it is an important project, it cannot be decided during the absence of the Principal. You know that, don't you?

Conrad looks at Chirali and Glenn.

If you have an adult escort, you would have already been advised.

If Isaac is famous for being a smart kid, you know that much.

Yet I dared to visit.

"I'm sure they'll do something," Conrad says, raising the level of vigilance to the fullest.

"I know that, too. But I visited you today because I want to know who Uncle Bristol is."

"My brother's character?

Conrad puts his neck up.

The topic Isaac cut out is not what he was wary of.

It solidified for a little while to a question that was too unexpected.

"Dealing with Dwarves is not like dealing with human opponents. They also think differently, so everyone is in trouble if they get into a dispute over a mistake. So I wanted to know what Uncle Bristol was like. And..."

"And?"

"Sometimes I wanted to ask you if even my belly brothers could really get along..."

"Ah......"

The Housekeeping dispute, which was the Marquis of Wellrod, is famous.

- Isaac killed my brother Nathan with his own hands.

Many know that.

And Conrad, of course.

So instead of sending a messenger, he also shows understanding of what Isaac himself has done on purpose.

(Rumor has it he was a terrific kid, but he still regrets not having to kill his brother)

That's what he thought.

Otherwise you wouldn't say, "I want to know if even my belly brothers can get along" etc.

Back to what Isaac heard in the rumors, one distressed child was visible before him.

Once he laughs, he tells Isaac what his brother looks like.

"First of all, I want you to remember that it depends on your home environment. Do you know I'm a concubine?

"Yes."

The earlier Earl of Bristol had only one full wife.

Isaac also knows that Conrad is the concubine's son because it was in the information he examined.

"Unlike the Marquis Wellrod family, that's a big point. The First Lady and Second Lady's complicated power relationship prevented them from rubbing it in their successor's case."

Conrad looks away, remembering the old days.

"The first time I met my brother was when I was five years old, when my mother died, when I was taken over by the Count of Bristol's main house. My brother was good to me when I was worried about how my concubine son would be treated as a child. One day, my brother was being shouldered by his father. I was jealous that my father, who didn't mind me at all, and my brother, who was a man, would show me his side as a father."

When you look lonely, take a sip of tea.

"My brother noticed my gaze as he looked with envy. What did your brother say then? It was Conrad's turn next. I still haven't forgotten that word."

"You seem like a kind man."

To Isaac's gavel, Conrad smiled back.

"You're right, my brother has been a kind man since he was a child. Of course, that's not all there is to it. There's plenty more."

That's what Conrad keeps talking about Roger.

I wonder how much you admire your brother.

I think I enjoy being able to talk about Roger.

Isaac felt sorry for him.

(Even if I admire this much, my brother doesn't like me...)

Information on Isaac's examined Earl of Bristol brothers.

Among them was information that his brother Roger did not like Conrad.

The reason was "because Conrad is better" easy to understand.

Certainly, in the Earl of Bristol's house, there was no housekeeper dispute like Isaac and Nathan.

Roger, his eldest son, succeeded him in due course.

But that doesn't mean "I'm glad you're not in contention".

- Conrad is better in terms of ability.

The fact distorted Roger's character.

I guess I was really sweet as a kid.

But as time went on, in Roger, he said, "The only thing I've succeeded to is my blood muscles, not my strength. I'm sure everyone thinks Conrad is more worthy of the Lord," he begins to worry.

When I was young I was proud of my smart brother, but as I grew older I began to feel neglected.

Unlike Nathan, Roger couldn't use his brother's presence as an exciting material.

- Roger is foolish about his brother to other nobles.

This information was in the mansion's study.

In a book documenting the relationship of the aristocratic society, it was written in a book written about the Earl of Bristol family.

The ink was relatively new, so maybe it's what Morgan wrote.

I guess the person who wrote it felt like a little gossip, but it felt like Isaac had found a treasure map.

"Whoa, I guess we talked too much. Brother, I think you know what's good about you."

Conrad realized he was talking to me all the time.

I laugh embarrassingly.

Isaac also had a loving laugh at this.

"Yes, I understand very well. You're going to be relieved to make a deal with Dwarf."

It was flattering, but Conrad laughed happily.

"That's right. My brother would do well. We can trade more goods than just one. We want to work with the Marquis Wellrod."

- Isaac found out about Roger.

I think so, and Conrad is horrified.

If Isaac were to say here, "Whatever it is, I don't approve of the deal with the Earls of Bristol," it would have been a lot of trouble.

The biggest difficulty has been overcome, so it's reassuring.

"I wanted to help you make it work, too. Glenn, give Mr. Conrad an example note."

"Ha."

Isaac commands Glenn to give him a piece of paper.

That was the paper that wrote the impressions of Rudolph and the others.

"Rudolph has no idea of having his grandson Sieghardt cute present in the negotiations. My arms as a craftsman are unknown, but I am ineligible as the head of the Chamber of Commerce '

"Sieghardt is Rudolph's grandson. Maybe I have talent as a merchant, but I'm still immature. You should stay close because you may be the future owner at the Rudolph Chamber of Commerce '

"Wolfgang is impolite. I don't even say a word of thanks to this one for trying to figure out how to deal with it, even though I've originally resented my incompetence and punched him in. But if you're going to get a traitor out of the Dwarf because of that, a selfish man like him will be your target."

"This is..."

Conrad blushed.

I'm glad Isaac gave us information about the Dwarves he met, because it was a very tough assessment.

"Oh, I knew it was too much to write?

"Hmmm. A little more......, you better be soft"

"I'm sorry. Can I borrow your ink and pen?

"Okay."

Isaac laughs lightly.

That was a childish laugh called "screwed up."

The content I'm writing is harsh, but I think Isaac's reaction is "childish," which also soothes Conrad's expression.

Isaac, who received the ink and pen, erases the text written on the paper.

But I just erased all the sentences, and the hand stops.

"... I thought the city near the Earl of Bristol wasn't Saltstadt, was it?"

"Probably going to be another city. We won't know until we try to get through the road to the next town or the one farther away."

"So, does this help? Doesn't it necessarily make you deal with the same person, and it just makes you extra preconceived?

Conrad replied by looking away softly instead of responding.

Since I was hesitant to agree to it in words, I would consider answering it with my gaze.

Because it's hard to say "right" to what you brought me because you think it's good.

"I'm sorry. Can you throw away this piece of paper? After all, I don't think my feelings full of prejudice are necessary because I want the Earl of Bristol to deal with Dwarves without weird preconceptions. I'm sorry I pushed you on my own, but today around here..."

"No, no, it's a harvest for this one, even if it's just about getting to know your brother and going home. Neighbors want to get along."

"Nice to meet you."

Conrad drops him off at the front door because Isaac says he's leaving.

Conrad went out of his way to collect me at the front door, even the deacon and the servants of the handcuffs.

I'm happy to feel comfortable dropping you off.

"It was nice talking to you today, Mr. Conrad. years apart, but let's keep our brothers close to each other"

Isaac smiles and offers his right hand.

Conrad also smiled and shook his hand back.

"Right, let's get along. If you want to hear from your brother, there's still something left to talk about."

"Yeah, I'd like to hear more about Uncle Bristol again."

Isaac and the others parted with a smile.

The grin contains many emotions.

(I hope we get a chance to talk)

Isaac really just came to talk (...).

But that wasn't the only result I asked for.

There are many elements that rely on luck, but it's better than doing nothing.

The seeds were sown.

How you harvest it depends on Roger.

All I had to do was see what the result would be.
