The Villain Daughter Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (Hostage) in a Former Enemy Country

When I made the appointment with Arnold, Kyle prepared a room that was used for the meeting.

Since it is a room used by the royal family, all the furnishings are first-class. The roundtable in the center of the room is not in the guest room.

Eventually the knock sounded, and Oliver the Servant opened the door.

When he stood by the door, Arnold appeared from behind.

Kyle, who was already on the table, stood up and thanked him.

"Lord Arnold. Thank you for your time today."

"--I 'll tell you in advance."

Arnold looks quietly at Kyle across from the round table.

"I'm not going to repeat the same story the other day. I still don't feel worthy of an alliance with Coyol."

"... I understand."

"But"

The gaze turned towards the corner of the room.

"I wonder if you can tell me something decent? Riesch"

"... of course, Lord Arnold."

Standing away from the roundtable, as if she were a maid, Riesch smiles in Arnold's sight.

(Don't be under pressure. This is an opportunity, it's a fight)

Arnold's eyes are militant. The provocative glare tightened the indoor air perfectly.

Kyle must be feeling it. After laughing, Arnold sat down looking away from Riesch.

"Sit down, too. I want you to start talking now."

Before that, Your Highness.

Riesch stood in the middle of Kyle and Arnold as she walked to the side of the round table.

Then he opened his hands and smiled as he looked at Arnold.

"Do you know what makes me different today?

……

Arnold raised his eyebrows to Riesch's question.

This reaction is imaginary. But when Arnold looked at Riesch, he answered with a cheek cane on his armrest.

"Bracelets and earrings on the necklace. --I 'm familiar with none of them, I guess I've never worn them before."

I didn't think you'd be spotted.

(Lord Arnold has good eyes. Not only simple vision, but also insight, kinematic vision, and the ability to discern various things are very strong....)

Riesch nodded and sat down, explaining to Arnold.

"As you said, I bought all of these outfits yesterday from the Aria Chamber of Commerce. It's a bunch of jewellery made in Coyol."

Kyle opened his mouth after Riesch's words.

"Let me explain the industry in Coyol. In addition to producing gems, more than half of our country is closed to snow for a year. These conditions overlap, and there are many good craftsmen who make jewelry."

Coyol does a lot of thinking about how to spend a long winter.

The habit of men praising women is also a tradition to keep the family smooth. Similarly, the work of jewellery that can be carried indoors has been valued from the past to the present.

"In other countries, time-consuming decorations, if they are my coyote craftsmen, will be finished quickly and meticulously. It is a coyote treasure that can be proud of all over the world."

Kyle is telling the truth about this.

The other day, Riesch was to receive a ring from Arnold. And it was told that it would take a month for the ring to be completed, if it were true.

However, according to a letter from the store owner's old woman, the period was shortened to just one week.

The reason for this is that Kyle's craftsman was on board a ship that he travelled to Garchain.

(I'm sure from my life as a merchant. Coyol's technology is one of the best in the world)

On the other hand, there is no craftsman in Garchain who can make such fine work.

The effects of the war ahead.

It is separate from the technique of forging metal and the technique of fine workmanship, and there is no technique of metal workmanship in Garchain today.

In other words, it is an area that the powerful Garchain is not good at.

――……

But Arnold's makeup was cold.

is sitting on a red velvet chair and looking at Kyle in a boring manner while wearing a carefree cheek wand.

"Riesch"

"....."

Arnold's eyes spoke of no indifference.

The moment they call me by name, I get nervous. But Riesch only had a soft smile.

That's it.

I know that Arnold is not interested in "jewellery making techniques." Kyle was worried about this because she couldn't convince Arnold.

However, this is a commercial law.

When a product is offered, the customer's choice is' buy or not buy '. And most of them tend to' don't buy ', and often they don't get business opportunities.

However, when you offer more than one product, there is a different thought than buying or not buying it.

It's a rounding up of 'which one of these is the most valuable'.

The judgment made in that case changes to 'which of these to buy' rather than 'buy or not buy'.

Opportunities after you have selected "one of multiple items you like" are easier to conclude than when you present only one item from the beginning.

(Of course, I don't think such a small business code will apply to His Highness Arnold.... but for me, this deal isn't just about forming an alliance...)

In order to do so, it was necessary to present a technology of no value to Arnold.

Prince Kyle.

Kyle nodded quietly when Rieschett called her old business partner.

Put your hand in your pocket and remove something from your jacket. Kyle puts' it 'on the table, but Arnold's expression doesn't change.

For Arnold, Riesch asks.

"You recognize this item, right? His Highness Arnold."

A pale reply was returned to the clear question.

"The original belongs to me. What's wrong with that?"

"This is...."

That's when Riesch tried to explain.

Wait, wait, wait.

Arnold frowned slightly and stopped Riesch.

His expression, which seemed to be irrelevant at heart, changed only slightly. I understood the reason, and I was surprised at Riesch.

"... I didn't think you'd notice anything like this."

Though the smile for the deal remained on my mind, I wrapped my tongue inside. Although Arnold doesn't talk much, he must have spotted Riesch's "tricks."

"This certainly looks the same as what Lord Arnold treasured during the war.... but what's on the table right now isn't yours."

Reaching out to the next bag, Riesch took out an item. And just like Kyle, he put the item in front of himself.

"Your watch is still with me."

Two pocket watches line the table.

It hardly changes its appearance, but the golden glow is different. Arnold must have spotted this minor discrepancy.

"Prince Kyle's clock is a reproduction of the clock he borrowed."

……

Arnold watches Leicher quietly.

"This was created by a jeweler who visited Garchain on the same ship as Prince Kyle. I consulted the jewelry store owner and borrowed the necessary equipment for casting. --Jewelry like rings, gears, spirals and other metals can be cast in exactly the same way."

They scrape wax and the like to make a prototype, use the prototype to take the mold, and pour the metal into the mold to solidify it.

The most time-consuming of these steps is prototyping.

On the other hand, once the prototype has been completed and molded, the same type of workpiece can be mass produced in a short time using the mold. That is the strength of casting technology.

And a skilled craftsman can refine the casting that is susceptible to failure.

Nevertheless, it was a bet that we would make it in time.

(A 'good craftsman in coyol' and 'able to board a royal ship named Prince Kyle' … I thought maybe, but I was really glad to know him.)

It was also Richie's past life that produced the watch.

The man then asked the craftsmen of the land of Coyol to cast the parts needed to make the watch. The man chose Coyol because he was interested in jewellery processing.

The craftsman who travelled to Garchain had a mold for casting watch parts.

When working outside the country, it is common in terms of sales to take the product of the work you have done in the past.

And this time, fortunately, things were carried out as expected by Riesch.

(If I even have the parts, I can assemble the watch perfectly.... thanks to Professor Michelle's careful teaching in the alchemist's life.)

While feeling a little rusty, he confronted Arnold.

"Gears and helices made with precision metalworking. These combinations have created this pocket watch that you treasured in the war. Similar products will probably develop in the near future."

Riesch is convinced.

These processed metals can create a variety of possibilities depending on how they are used. Now it's an empty story, but I know that there are a lot of scholars in various countries around the world who study these fields.

In the alchemist's life, Riesch has seen a lot of their research.

"His Highness Arnold. I'm sure you want it."

If only he had understood the value of the clock correctly and used it for his own purposes.

"This technological power will be transferred to Garchain."
