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

Three days have passed since Lisa's disturbance.

At first, when we looked at each other, we had an irresistible smile on our faces, but just after three days we returned to nature.

Drop Lisa off at school with Kendra, then head to the playroom with her.

Now while Morgan is at work, Randolph is dealing with the customers.

But if more aristocrats arrive in the King's Capital in a while, more and more of them will offer to meet Isaac.

Especially this year, the first stay in the Wang du since his interaction with Dwarf was reunited.

I can easily predict more visitors.

Isaac was thinking about playing with Kendra while he was at it.

"Dear Isaac. Ralph of the Gray Chamber of Commerce was used as an intermediary and the traders in Wang Capital offered to see him. How would you like it?

Norman smashes Isaac's mind.

When he takes over, he hears what happened last year from Glenn, who somehow had a sunny look on his face.

I was wondering if it was okay to let Isaac meet the merchant from Wang Du.

But it's not a good decision to make on your own.

Except if Isaac had told me in advance that he would not "meet with the merchants of the King's Capital," but that hasn't been said.

I couldn't say no on my own, and I had to hear from Isaac first.

"Um, there's no reason to say no..."

There's no reason to say no, but there's no reason to see him.

I guess it just makes me cry somehow, so I guess I can go through.

But here's the problem.

- That they use the Gray Chamber of Commerce as an intermediary.

Ignore this and the face of the Gray Chamber of Commerce will be rounded up.

Recently, awareness is spreading that he is essentially the embracing merchant of the Marquis Wellrod family, such as taking a deal with Dwarf in one hand.

If you behave lightly with Ralph at that time, the Gray Chamber of Commerce will also have a hard time doing business.

Whatever the reason, the extent to which Isaac and I are asked to mediate seems to be deeply connected to the surroundings.

Then you should give him that push.

"Fine. I'll see you."

Isaac replies yes.

That's when Isaac realized Norman's eyes were shining.

"What, what?

"Ah, no. I wondered what Isaac was going to talk about."

That's what I say, Norman laughs.

He worked as Isaac's secretary a long time ago, and came to Wang Capital to quickly become involved in exciting content projects, so he became intrigued.

"I care, too."

"Grandma!

As they were talking, Margaret pinched her mouth.

Isaac is confused by the unexpected intruder.

"If you're meeting with a merchant, will you let me be present, too? I wonder what you're going to talk about."

"I don't mind that......, all of a sudden. What's wrong with you?

"I want to see my grandson grow. That's all."

Isaac was anxious for Margaret to say with a serious look.

(Maybe you're not trying to help the merchant out of me and sell thanks)

The reason Isaac thought that was because he knew that Margaret was losing her trust from the nobility under the Marquis Welrod umbrella.

She had pushed Nathan to succeed her, and for that she had asked Melinda to cooperate with the nobility under her umbrella.

While some of them thought "Isaac has legitimacy," they reluctantly supported Nathan by Margaret's persuasion.

Yet Nathan broke into a successor dispute and Isaac became his successor.

When this happens, those who supported Nathan by Margaret's persuasion feel ridiculous.

"I should have supported Isaac," he thinks, holding a grudge that he couldn't be a winner.

The same dissatisfaction spread to those who supported Nathan of their own free will.

After Nathan and Melinda's death, "If Master Margaret hadn't told me, I would have supported Master Isaac," he said, blushing shamelessly and beginning to appeal to Isaac to be on his side.

This was heard from the mouths of the nobles who came to ask Isaac how he was feeling.

Even so, Margaret still retains some influence.

But it's the difference between before and after the incident four years ago.

Isaac thought it might be an opportunity to sell favors to the traders in the Wang capital and try to regain some influence.

"Fine. Norman, tell me you'll see me on your scheduled free day."

"May I tomorrow morning?

Isaac's plans are vacant.

So Norman asked as he turned his gaze to Margaret.

"Yeah, I'm fine, too."

"Well, I'll tell you that,"

Leaving that behind, Norman walks away.

Isaac smiles at Margaret.

(Nothing good. I don't think I can move everything by myself. Wang Du merchants can have Grandma hold the reins)

There are many tradesmen in Wangdu.

It's hard to manage them on your own.

Then you'd better have Margaret hold the merchant's reins.

Isaac himself just has to manage the movement of one Margaret, so it's much easier than managing a merchant himself.

Isaac thought so.

----------

The next day, the reception room was awaited by Ralph and three men representing the merchants of Wang Du.

Confirming that Isaac and Margaret were here, they stood up and greeted them.

"Long time no see"

The tradesmen of the Wang capital don't remember their faces because of the large number, but for now Isaac and Margaret sat in their chairs, greeting them as if they did.

"Please, have a seat"

Isaac advises him to sit, but the three non-Ralphs did not try to sit.

The three don't try to move with upright immobility.

When Isaac looks at it strangely, one of them.

Whoever would be older than Morgan with gray hair opens his mouth.

"We appreciate your consideration, Isaac. Thank you."

"Thank you"

"Thank you"

The three of them say thank you verbally.

Isaac couldn't understand the situation and had a big hatena mark in his head.

I don't take any account of them.

All I could do was stare at them without being able to react, saying things I didn't even think about.

The three men keep talking.

"It depends on Master Isaac's deliberate reluctance and our common impression of generosity. Even though His Majesty did not set a tariff in view of his friendship with Dwarf, the Marquis Welrod imposed a 100% tariff independently. And that helped us."

"Dwarf's products are even everyday items, just wonderful objects that can be confused with works of art. What would have happened if it had been circulated without tariffs on it…. It's scary to think about it."

"Make money if you do business with Dwarf. I was dazzled by such an immediate greed that I embarrassed myself by the stupidity of working on a new trading route for the Count of Bristol."

Talking that far, they bowed their heads deeply.

What, what? What's going on?

Isaac was the only one on this scene who was not keeping up with the current situation.

"I know everything," he says, confused in his head.

I'd like someone to help me, but I understand that Isaac is waiting for this situation.

When you have to do something for yourself, never open your mouth.

"Keep your head up, please. And have a seat."

Speak with a conscious, emotionally pushed and killed voice.

Because if I didn't, I'd be in a hurry and a pitiful voice.

As Isaac told me, the three of them sit in their seats.

And I waited for Isaac's word.

"Did I do something?

This is a pure question.

Isaac also has difficulty responding if we first learn more about their reasons for thanking them.

But because of the emotional voices that pushed him to death, there's...

"I didn't do anything. Don't worry, I'm not going to thank you for this."

- And it sounded as if I had said it plainly.

It even seemed as if Isaac, who still leaves it unbearable, was entangled in the style of Morgan - no, a super big guy like Jude.

The gray-haired man answers.

"This may be the end of the story for Isaac. But it's important to us merchants. No, it was also a big thing for the Reid kingdom. If the Marquis of Wellrod had to impose high tariffs, domestic industry could have been driven away sooner or later by high-quality Dwarf goods. Unlike us, who were blinded by greed, thanks to Isaac's far-sighted eyes, we gave our lives. It's up to me to thank you today."

Three men bow their heads deeply again.

At this time, Isaac finally understood why they had visited.

Though, I was still confused on the inside.

(Uh, are you going to buy Dwarf products from the Grey Chamber of Commerce and wholesale them to the Grey Chamber of Commerce for double the amount? I mean tariffs, I just wanted to make money...)

That was an action that arose from a desire to expand the army a little bit.

I didn't think it would work as a tariff and protect domestic industries.

The deal with Dwarf has just begun.

We don't trade enough to rock domestic industry.

Isaac thought they were just being daunted.

I guess I'm just rushing to say it out loud because of something I never expected anyway.

Even if you look like an experienced old man, hesitating in unexpected circumstances is just like you.

If you think so, there's a natural grin on Isaac's face.

"No, I just wanted to make money. It wasn't that deep of an idea."

So I even got room for "Let's be honest with you about everything and calm you down".

But they didn't get what they said.

"Such modesty...... We know very well that Isaac has a profound idea. Though it had the great purpose of the economic stability of the Kingdom of Reed, you reached out to us, who had almost become a commercial enemy. Thank you, Isaac, for your generosity."

"Oh, yeah. Then I guess I should think so."

- Mistakes due to in-depth reading.

I wasn't likely to be able to correct that, nor did I seem to need to correct it.

"Whatever happens now," Isaac said in words that would throw him away.

But even that was taken in their favor now.

"Yes, we will not forget this grace!

To them...

"I just did what I thought was necessary for the Reid kingdom. I'm not going to thank you guys. If you feel benevolent, feel free."

- And it sounded like Isaac was saying.

Margaret also knew and was extremely impressed with Isaac's natural instrumentation.

(I can't help it, this)

The anomaly that he felt he was being made a terrible mistake, but would be affirmed even if denied.

Isaac could only throw a spoon in his heart already.

They went home from then on when they lined up words of praise for Isaac and conveyed their gratitude.

At the end of the conversation, Isaac sighs hu.

I realized at this time that continuing to be praised was also quite a psychological burden.

"Isaac"

"What is it?

Norman went to drop off the merchants, so now I'm alone with my grandmother.

Isaac gets up a little bit wondering what they're going to talk about.

"You're amazing. It's not just brains. It also has the size of a nostalgia to forgive hostile opponents"

Margaret talks smudgingly.

Tears were beginning to come to those eyes.

"If only I had realized your talent sooner..."

"From the kids, it's not that easy to tell."

Isaac speaks comfort.

But Margaret shakes her neck to the side.

"No. The truth is, I really knew. Ever since I offered you a bid for iron ore. But I thought it would be more right for my oldest son to succeed, and I was afraid that everything I'd ever done would go to waste. I couldn't stop it."

Margaret bursts into tears.

In a way, maybe this is the first time I've accepted my mistakes.

- Isaac was the one who deserved a successor.

I thought so, I couldn't stop crying.

"Randolph......, only that kid knew who was worthy of a successor. He must have instinctively felt it."

(No, I don't know about that)

Isaac was a little cold against my father.

That's just because you can't tell before your child grows up, and you know it's about Lucia's decision to be cute.

"I did something bad to Melinda and Nathan... And to you too."

Isaac gently embraces her tearful grandmother's body.

"If you think it's bad, be my best ally from now on. Best than anyone. As much as I give priority to being on my side over the Reid royal family."

"Is that all you need?

"Yeah, of course. Oh, you can go after your grandfather or your father."

Isaac said to stand aside.

That is to mislead the part of the Reid Royal (...).

But I took the word.

In terms of conspiracy, Margaret is the most dependable opponent in the Marquis Welrod family.

There's no harm in keeping it on your side.

"Normally, you do not say anything to be thankful in a situation whereby everyone is thankful. You've really grown up... I had an immeasurable amount of weight."

Margaret cries in silence.

Isaac held her tight like that and was about to cry himself.

(It's nice to have a higher rating, but if you fail, there's also a big difference in that amount. Why are you being hurdled up so far?

Isaac is also aiming to be high.

So I was prepared for the ratings to go up and the eyes around me looking tough.

But I was just prepared that that would happen as a result of the pile.

I'm not prepared for a sudden increase in ratings where I haven't thought about it myself.

I think it's a good thing my grandmother really just came to see Isaac grow up.

But Isaac was about to leak a cry, "Why won't you fit within your assumptions?
