After all, Raul was aware of this.

The fact that the gold coins are too new is not in itself a basis for them to be fake.

However, Arnold's records of the exchange office showed that this gold coin was still unnatural.

This information was originally requested in the hope that Galkhain and other countries' trading trends could be explored by understanding the trade situation from currency exchange records.

Looking at it, there is no record of Galkhain's gold being exchanged for more than a certain amount of Fablanian gold in the last few years.

It is unnatural for a partner country that does not trade heavily and does not have a consolidated record of currency exchange at the nearest port to hold a brand-new gold coin full of sacks.

As long as you have suspicion, you can determine whether it is real by appraisal.Leechee has been a merchant for many times in her past life to see the true nature of things.

What we have here is undoubtedly cheaply made gold, which does not contain the statutory amount of gold.

"The Fabranian nation must be involved in the creation of this gold coin."I don't really think Harriet would have prepared it. "

After all, Harriet is limited in the types of books she can read.

Even a modest freedom is unforgivable for her, and she cannot make money on her own.

Raul laid his feet on the rampage, and laughed with his cheek stick on it.

"It's totally strange." What does the Fabranian Nation make Galkhain coins for? ”

I wonder if you're asking me to try Leechee.

"The raw materials that make gold are cheaper than the par value of that currency."In other words, you can use cheap materials and get expensive goods. ”

“Hmm. I mean, Fabrania wanted to be rich in Galkhain, so she did this.”

"... if the state makes riches from other countries, there are some effects that can be targeted"

Remembering the future, Leechee said with a smile on her face.

"The circulation of riches leads to the economic drain of the other country"

……

The economy can be very disruptive when money is put into circulation.

Even in the future, something like that was just happening.Cash was discovered in several countries, which lowered confidence in the money itself, and even trivial money exchanges required authentic confirmation.

The economies of the countries slowed down quickly.

There should have been a circulation of gold in Fabrania.

In the past life, it has been said that "the wicked queen Harriet has made the people needy enough to make gold".

(... I'm sure that Harriet-sama's act of [buying jewelry from foreign countries] was a fact in itself)

Leechee squeezed the hem of the dress.

(But correctly, I think it was "ordered by the king to do so".It was never a luxury, but "to use the money of the other country to make the property owned by the other country belong to Fabrania"......)

In fact, King Fabrania has given money to Harriet on her way to Galkhain, telling her to "go shopping to the full".

(According to a rumor I heard about Harriet in my life, she bought everything from home to abroad.You should be able to get gems and dresses from home.)

The reason for this is to send money to other countries and take money from them.

(Platinum from another country to enrich Fabrania by the Fabranian royal family....... it's too much of an immediate benefit.)

Arnold is trying to find a way to protect Galkhain's economy from other countries' hardships due to a shortage of gold and silver.

In order to be prosperous, other countries that are trading partners must also be prosperous.

On the other hand, what the Fabranian side was trying to take was a bad man who could hunt down his own country.

(In fact, Fabrania's economy has completely collapsed in five years.)

Fabrania made it a sacrifice to deal with the evil sentiments of the people, guilty of "because Queen Harriet scattered the money and crushed the treasury."

(It seems that Harriet-sama's execution also meant shutting her mouth.... if you are a [sinner], even if Harriet-sama tries to accuse you of money laundering, it will diminish its credibility)

Thinking of her life so far, she tightens her chest.

(Even when the people were hungry, the Fabranian royal family collected a lot of wealth.... that's why, five years later, Sigwell was able to participate in the war against Galkhain after adding the country to his umbrella)

In view of that, it seems that the Fabranian royal family won the battle against Galkhain rather than defeating the nation's hunger.

When I called in a merchant for shopping, Harriet seemed scared all the time.

……

"However, it wasn't because the maid was scolding me or because I was afraid of expensive shopping."... perhaps, the fear that "you have to spend your fortune according to your fiancé's orders"

Thinking like that, I am convinced of the "failure" she made yesterday.

"Yesterday evening, when I went shopping in the city, Mr. Harriet said," I forgot my Galkhain in my room. "It will take some time to get it back, so I decided to exchange it for my Fabranian gold. ”

"... hmm"

"But I'm sure you didn't really forget that."... even if you were to be scolded, it might have been an act of indecency to avoid using Galkhain's coins. "

Before the shopping, Harriet offered to dress herself rather than let her maid prepare it for her.

As a result, I forgot the gold coin, and I was impressed by the maid, but it seems that I did it on purpose.

"Mr. Harriet didn't try to sin against me."

I told Raul clearly in front of me.

"Rather, he would have tried to accuse me."Fabrania... and what you're trying to do. ”

――……

I think it was last night that I made up my mind about the accusation.

However, the knights of Fabrania entered the room and were unable to confess to Leechee.

"The knights of Fabrania told Harriet not to meet anyone but her brother and maid without the presence of a knight."That's probably why Harriet thought this was her last chance and put this sack in my bag. ”

And maybe Fabrania's desire to keep others away from Harriet is also due to her desire not to share her secrets.

“Dear Oliver, Your Majesty King Fabrania wanted you to marry your sister, but you didn't, did you?”

"Yes, I have been hoping to make contact with Galkhain several times, but the Emperor seems to be uninterested."

The Fablania of the Future adds Harriet's crimes as a shield to the Sigwell Nation's war effort against Galkhain.

Their motives include not only their own interests, but also their hostility to Galkhain.

It may be that Arnold's reluctance to get engaged to his sister-in-law or his pride has been damaged.

(In the past, the relationship between Galkhain and Fabrania has remained less friendly.Trade is not so strong either, so Fabranian gold would not have flowed to Galkhain.)

This time, however, Harriet came to Galkhain as the Princess of Sigwell.

“Dear Oliver, maybe Fabrania's desire for a friendly relationship with Galkhain also affects Galkhain's status as the nearest power?”

Oliver nods to the question.

"If the case of the ransom money is true, the purpose will be to abduct the goods of other countries and make them poor."If it is a big trading power, it will also increase profits from gold. ”

Galkhain's gold is a design that doesn't require much technology to imitate the status quo.

In the past, several humans have attempted to counterfeit it, which may have led to the appearance of gold.

But this time, other countries are aiming at the crime on a national scale.

"Raul.... you've noticed this platinum, haven't you?"

Leechee looked at his red eyes from the front.

"If Harriet-sama gets caught up in the crimes of her wedding home, Harriet-sama will not only be unhappy personally.In the meantime, I'm sure that Sigwell's country will be involved and develop into a major international problem.... "

In fact, that's what happened in my life so far.

After Harriet's execution, Fabrania is demanding compensation from the Sigwell nation in an absurd theory.

Sigwell, who had no other specialties than books and ran the country in a way that protected his allies, had no choice but to comply with Fabrania's demands.

Instead of paying the damages, you'll be brought into a reckless war with Galkhain.

Many died in that war, and Raul will not be safe.

I don't know the end of Sigwell's country.Because Leechee lost her life there.

"Isn't that why you're trying to save Harriet right now?"... even if it wasn't a royal order. "

……

Harriet told me that she had never been able to return to her country since she left for Fabrania to train as a bride.

She came to this country to celebrate the 'wedding of Leeche and Arnold'.

Without this opportunity, Harriet would not have met her brother Curtis or Raul until her marriage.

In other words, in his life, Raul hadn't been rescued in time before Harriet's marriage.

"The Fabranian state allowed Harriet to go out because it had the name" For the wedding of Crown Prince Galkhain ".On this occasion, I would have instructed Harriet to distribute the coins of Galkhain. ”

Harriet's participation was a unique opportunity for the Fabranian nation.

And it was the same for Raul.

(Without this wedding...... Raul couldn't have approached Harriet this way if it wasn't for me and Lord Arnold getting married.This is the seventh time in my life that I've had a chance to rescue Harriet.)

Thinking about it, I think I can see why Raul got so close to turning into Curtis without taking advantage of this opportunity.

"... oh, my God."

Raul, who had straightened his legs, leaned forward and covered his face.

"I can't believe it. I can't believe that Harriet revealed the existence of the platinum to you....."

"Raul..."

Oliver and I nodded our eyes as we looked up.

Leechee pushed her back against it and called out to Raul, who was hungry.

“It may be difficult at the moment to ask for His Highness Arnold's help.”

Leechee certainly knows that Arnold is a gentle man.

However, I also know that he is very reasonable and that he is alert to the Father Emperor.

As in the case of the Coyols, there should be no choice but to help others unconditionally.

Still, if there's anything I can do to help, I'd really like to cooperate.

……

Raul takes a big deep breath.

Thinking of it, the shoulder began to tremble slightly.Raul raised his face before wondering.

Fu, hahaha!

After a pleasant laugh, he looks at Leechee and laughs.

"--No, no, no, no!"

……

With a gentle red tongue, he turned his gaze towards me with a mocking smile.
