138

Enferlum, where Count Neyron’s family is located.

There were two teleportation gates there.

It was the gate that existed in the Plains Tower, which was the upper-level tower, and the gate that existed in the Count’s House.

My destination was the latter.

Because I had to meet Count Frantel.

As we rode through the gate with Seron, a familiar face caught my eye.

It was the count.

“It’s been a long time. How have you been?”

“Yes, I have been well. I wonder if it has been too long since I visited.”

“No. I heard that you not only built a new magic tower, but also received a title from the royal family. You must have been very busy. By the way… should I call you Baron Kyle from now on? Hehe.”

“No. Just treat me comfortably like before. The Count and I are not strangers, are we?”

At those words, the count’s expression brightened.

“Huh. If you say so… I will do so.”

Even though it had been a long time since I had seen him, the Count was very welcoming to me. The favorability rating he had on his head was even higher than before.

It seemed like there wasn’t any ill will.

‘Or… …I just decided not to bring it up.’

The person who bought wheat in large quantities was Abel.

Moreover, it was very shameful to blame others for the rising price of wheat due to the famine.

He is a seasoned merchant, so he would know that much.

In the meantime.

The count, looking at the public opinion standing next to me, asked quietly.

“By the way, I haven’t seen this knight before… Do you have a knight escort other than Sir Leonhard?”

“This is an article that came to be with me by chance. Public opinion?”

“It’s called public opinion, Count.”

The count nodded in satisfaction at the boy’s calm greeting.

“I can tell what a great knight you are just by looking at your eyes. I will be entrusting you with the care of the Baron from now on.”

“Yes, of course.”

“I think I’ve kept you here too long. Would you like to go to the office?”

“yes.”

So Seron and I headed to his office. He sat down on the sofa, which still looked soft as before, and then sent Seron out.

A car was parked in front of the count and me.

The count took a sip of tea and looked at me.

“Last time, I heard that you had your daughter participate in the spirit battle when you were playing Prinus.”

“you’re right.”

“Are you planning to train that child to be a battle mage?”

“yes.”

At those words, the count stared blankly into his teacup.

It seemed like he was thinking about something.

Then he let out a deep sigh.

“Whew. Actually, I really had a lot to say to you. My daughter’s magical skills are excellent, but isn’t she still a child?”

I could tell right away what he was trying to say.

‘I guess you were keeping it inside.’

Actually, that wasn’t wrong. She was born into a prestigious family, received a lot of education, and even showed quite mature speech and behavior for her age.

‘He’s still just a kid.’

So, it would have been unpleasant for the count to have dragged his youngest daughter to Yeongjijeon. Especially from the perspective of the count who had raised his youngest daughter like a precious jewel.

There was nothing I couldn’t understand.

If I didn’t know that in a few years the continent would be destroyed and all the people living here would fall into a hellish abyss, I wouldn’t have dragged him to the Yeongjijeon.

Maybe it was a few years later.

But now there was nothing I could do.

The situation before her was by no means easy for her to take everything into consideration.

“I understand what you want to say, Your Majesty. However, I don’t think any compromise is possible on this point. Wasn’t this something that was agreed upon when the contract was first written?”

Clause 7 was created to do just that.

The count frowned at my words.

“I know that too. But isn’t it too fast? I was thinking of a few years later.”

How many years later?

By then, there was no time to train him to get him used to fighting. He would have to fight Houdini and the Imperial Family to the death.

By then, Iris should have become a fully-fledged battle mage, firing all sorts of offensive spells at my side, rather than a burden.

“……It was something that my daughter had to experience at some point in order to become a full-fledged magician. I just…… thought it wasn’t the time.”

“Did Youngae speak to the Count about that separately?”

“That’s not it.”

That was a good thing.

No matter how much I tried to teach him, if this little boy refused to be educated, I could say there was no answer.

Well, I guess I did something admirable.

Well, it wasn’t the worst.

There was a moment of silence between me and the Count.

In the midst of the silence, it was Frantel who spoke first.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Go ahead.”

“Why is that so?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Aren’t you educating my daughter as if you were being chased by something? I don’t think you are a person who doesn’t know common sense. There must be some reason. Is it perhaps your personal reason?”

“…….”

In order to get on good terms with the Count, I had to answer well here. In addition, I had to make a deal with him.

‘I guess I should give you a little heads up.’

I felt I should tell him something about the guys who were slowly invading the Central Continent. Only then would the Count understand to some extent why I acted this way.

It wasn’t difficult to decide how much to reveal.

“Do you know about the secret incident that happened to the Marquis a while ago?”

“……I heard the rumors.”

“Adolf coveted power. Eventually, a conflict arose. The rumors that the Count knows about probably end here.”

This was something that everyone in the Marquisate kept quiet about. Even the three dukes in the empire would have a hard time finding out all the details of this matter.

Of course, it goes without saying that he was a count.

“……That’s right.”

“Actually, there is a hidden story behind it. I will now tell the Count about it. However, regarding this matter… I believe that you will naturally keep quiet.”

At my serious tone, he nodded heavily.

So I began to tell him about what had happened in the rebellion.

Adolf using an unknown evil power.

And there was even a story that all the troops under his command were driven mad by his power.

As the count continued to talk about the Marquis’s secret, his expression hardened like lead.

“……So you’re saying…… that there was some evil force behind Adolf? And one with tremendous power?”

“That’s right. That’s our family’s judgment. Even if you’re the royal family of the Alton Empire, they can’t give you the power to instantly elevate an Expert-level knight to Sword Master.”

“……If there is a power there that can drive all the troops crazy…… then of course…… it would be impossible. There must be something behind it.”

“It is very possible. Even our family, known as the most prestigious family in the East, could not escape their clutches. Is this incident simply aimed at our Marquis? When we see the great power… we absolutely do not think so.”

“…….”

Silence continued in the office.

It might be because it’s an unexpected topic.

He waited a moment for the Count to gather his thoughts.

“……Is that why you educated my daughter so quickly?”

“That’s right. The situation in the empire is not good. Starting from the imperial family at the top, and going down to the numerous families, it’s all like this. It’s not just visible on the outside… It’s highly likely that the inside is already rotten.”

“……If everything you say is true, then something big could happen.”

It’s not that it can explode, it explodes.

This was the complete truth.

“All nations, including the Empire, are too accustomed to peace. I don’t think that peace will last long.”

“……Is that so.”

“At least one thing is certain. Even if we look at the imperial family alone, now is the time to build up our power unconditionally.”

“The Marquis and your estate must already be doing that.”

“Yes. Right now we are focusing on recovering from the damage, but once we recover, we plan to stockpile up as much military equipment as possible.”

“……Thank you for telling me that fact. I’ll keep this…… to myself until the day I go to my grave.”

“Then I am grateful. In fact, the reason I came to you, Count, is precisely because of this matter.”

At those words, curiosity appeared in Frantel’s eyes.

“Didn’t you come here in person to learn Iris’ magic?”

“Of course, that is one of my goals. However, there are some things I need to discuss closely with you, Count. I need money to increase my soldiers and build up my strength. Count. Would you like to earn money with me?”

The reason I visited here and not the Plains Tower.

That’s exactly what I was trying to tell you.

It started out as a simple business relationship, but later on.

‘We might be able to form an alliance.’

The Marquis, the Prines, and even Count Neron.

If these three groups joined forces, they could be considered unrivaled in the East.

I was thinking of adding one more family here.

‘The Duke of Emily.’

That’s why I tried to make a deal with the Duke.

It starts with a small drawbridge, and later on, it becomes a solid alliance like a steel bridge that cannot be easily broken.

If only I could get the Duke involved.

‘The Western Tower Tower can also support this alliance.’

Is that all?

The moment I eat the Eastern Tower in the future, the five groups may form an alliance.

At the moment, it was more important to attract the Earls of Neyron than the distant Dukes of Emily.

After the framework of the alliance was completed, the plan was to nominate a new candidate for the next imperial power struggle.

4th princess.

Of course, this is assuming that the woman comes to her senses.

It was difficult to prevent a civil war from breaking out.

To stop this, the three princes who were the main characters of the civil war had to be assassinated, but that was impossible even if the great wizard came.

This was because the princes were always guarded by skilled knights and magicians, and if they were not careful, they could be branded traitors and become enemies of the empire.

Catching them was impossible unless a justification arose later.

Geodore de Rohan.

After this dying candle loses its light, a full-blown wind of blood will begin to blow throughout the empire.

Before that, a huge coalition force had to be formed.

Only then can the empire be united again.

The deal he was proposing to the Count this time was the cornerstone of that grand plan.

The cornerstone of a sweet deal that will help you completely forget the memories of those slightly awkward times.

“……What if it’s a deal?”

“It’s simple. You can purchase all the items I’m talking about with your own money. You can sell them at a high price later. You and I can split the profits.”

Hoarding.

It was an act of calling it that.

This was already being practiced by later writers.

Because I was only buying the items that I told you about.

Now that I have established a certain foundation, I don’t need to move while being cautious like before.

It was for this very reason that I made this proposal to the Count.

The count, who had been silent for a moment at my words, asked quietly.

“……Do you happen to know what item to buy?”

“Maybe?”

“I appreciate you telling me the secret, but what do I believe in……”

“I will draw up a magic contract. If the price of the items I have told you does not rise above a certain level, I will bear all losses. What do you think?”

How to win at trading.

That’s making an offer the other person can never refuse.

Just like right now.
