167. Fox Baron (2)
“Genga, who is also acquainted with the princess of Bakal… ?”
“This is ridiculous….”
Until they recently concluded diplomatic relations, Leon and Bakal were cold.
When told that there were connections between the two countries, Burke and Frey’s expressions hardened.
He just stares at me with a face as white as a plaster statue.
A friendly conversation with the princess of a country.
“Yes, I even served the rice myself.”
I smiled broadly and pointed to the crystal ball.
「Connected.」
“Princess Tina-. How have you been? “Are you okay?”
He greeted the beads with a sly accent.
Golden Apple members flinched every time they called Christina instead of just Tina.
“Now, the princess of a country is called Tina….”
“Hmm….”
They watched nervously to see what answer would come.
Finally, the moment you hear a sound coming from the crystal ball.
「Veil-? How long has it been since this?”
A fresh voice, hard to believe she was the princess of a cold northern kingdom, has returned.
The entire bodies of the two powerful people who were watching with suspicion trembled at that voice.
“I really meant it… ?”
“Oh my… I am also familiar with the royal family of Bakal….”
I waved my hand at them.
Please be quiet.
「Is there anyone around?」
“Oh, yes…” . “I have some acquaintances around me.”
「Well, I’m an acquaintance.」
Tina seemed to guess the purpose of my call for a moment, and her sentence became longer.
After that, she immediately asked back in a sensual voice.
「I guess you called me because you needed help rather than to see how I was doing?」
“Oh my gosh, that can’t be-.”
I said slyly.
However, the astute strategist immediately grasped the point.
「Otherwise, there would be no reason to call me in a place where there are a lot of people watching.」
I glanced at the lord who was noisy at her words.
Then, those who had ever doubted my abilities looked away with apologetic expressions.
「It’s okay-, it’s okay-. “I don’t mean to interrogate you.”
Fortunately, the princess of Bakal came back with a generous voice.
I could hear the sound of pages turning, so it seemed like he was leisurely reading.
「So what help do you need from me? “I’ve received help before, so feel free to tell me.”
“I understand.”
I was satisfied with her refreshing personality.
As if responding to this, he asked directly.
“I know a close merchant who owns a top…. He admires Bakal a lot.”
When I opened the gun, the sound of the princess turning the pages stopped.
He was listening to my story.
「Really?」
“Yes, especially Bakal’s strong military power. “I was so envious of the soldiers I saw on this escort route.”
I did not hesitate to praise Tina’s guards.
Then, a chuckling sound was heard from the crystal ball.
「Our weapons are the best on the continent.」
“Yes, so-. “The merchant wanted to import the military supplies.”
In keeping with the brighter atmosphere, I asked a question subtly.
「Hmm…. Okay?”
However, the naturally asked question was met with a cynical response.
The voice of a wise man who knows how to distinguish between public and private matters.
「However, exporting military weapons to other countries must have very strict regulations. No matter how much I do, it must be difficult-.”
“Hmm….”
Burke is disappointed.
He looked at me with an earnest expression.
“Don’t worry. “That’s the answer you expected.”
I quietly reassured him.
Afterwards, he smiled brightly at the crystal ball and spoke.
“That’s right-, that’s right-. “Of course it will be difficult because technology from other countries may be leaked.”
In the first place, I wasn’t aiming to import military weapons.
“That’s why-. “Rather than importing the weapons themselves, I would like to obtain mithril quarried from Bakkal.”
Make unreasonable demands from the beginning.
Afterwards, if you gently offer a milder proposal to the person in trouble….
“You are exporting quite a lot to maritime countries…. Now that you have established diplomatic relations with us, the justification is sufficient, right?”
「That’s right.」
The other person tends to think positively.
「If we export everything to other countries, there is nothing we can’t do for Leon.」
“Our merchant is quite famous in Leon. If you trust me and leave it to me, I hope I can import it at a reasonable price….”
I suddenly delved into Tina, who had opened the door to her heart.
Whistling inside.
‘I’m almost done with this.’
But, at that moment.
「You provide the guarantee, right?」
The whistle that was blowing inside suddenly stopped.
Because Tina was by no means an easy monarch.
「If only you would participate as a guarantor when a problem arises. “I will consider it positively.”
“Uh…. Sure. Sure-!”
‘It seems like your tone of voice has become strange….’
「If a problem arises, you must come to Bacal to take responsibility, Baron Bale.」
She was clearly the one who went back to Barkal.
However, I was well aware of the news that I had become a baron.
“You knew I received a title…” ?”
In response to my question, I heard the sound of a book closing.
Afterwards, Tina responded in a sensual voice like a queen.
「If I want to know, I can know anything.」
I can feel the cold glacial chill in her voice.
Burke, who had been pierced by this, also flinched.
“hahahaha…. I never thought my fame would reach there. “I am truly honored, Your Majesty.”
「Then, we will send our quarry owner and merchant merchant within a few days. “Tell me about it.”
Christina spoke comfortably as if she was satisfied with my answer.
This solved Burke’s concerns at once.
If it had been someone else, it would have taken a good month just for the appeal to be filed.
「You should come out then too. Because he is a ‘guarantor.'”
“Of course, I will supervise-.”
It bothers me that you keep mentioning the word guarantor.
Once things were resolved easily, I decided to be satisfied.
「Okay then, I’ll stop now, Baron. “It was nice to hear from you.”
“Please enter carefully.”
I bowed my head towards the crystal ball.
Then, the sound of the princess pretending to be happy was heard from the marble.
「Hey, call the tailor.」
「Okay, you might be able to go a long way soon, so refine your boots and cloak….」
The voice gradually became quieter.
Thanks to this, I couldn’t even hear what the princess said.
「….」
The sound of the crystal ball was suddenly cut off.
‘I think I heard some kind of disturbing sound…’ .’
Still, the contract was completed.
Something that does not exist in our imperial capital.
However, it is a necessary item.
The item was connected to a local caravan owner.
Through this, he obtained a product that advanced to the capital.
And, at the same time, the birth of the first caravan group that absolutely supports the princesses.
“Well, you really did it! Baron Mikhail… !”
Burke hurriedly got up from his chair.
Afterwards, he held both my hands together and expressed his gratitude.
“I told you. “I will solve it once and for all.”
When I shrugged my shoulders, the members of the Golden Apple bowed their heads to me politely.
“Please forgive my negligence in doubting.”
“I apologize too….”
Frey also joined.
Thanks to this, Count Timan spoke to me as a representative.
“You would do this for us. “You are really on the princesses’ side.”
“Of course, there are so many blessings I have received from them.”
I answered them with a grin.
Then, the Count asked me carefully.
“Grace…. Speaking of which, how close are you to the princesses… ?”
In response to his question, I placed my hand on my chin for a moment.
“Well….”
Then, with her eyes wide open, she recalled the events that had happened with them.
“He always came to visit me whenever I was sick.”
When the Black Knight attacked me, Irina came to my house and nursed me.
“He used to help me whenever I had a problem.”
Leah calmed me down when I was having a hard time due to excessive Grand Aura.
“He put his private parts on his knees and hid them.”
Even Lydia, who hid her when she was in danger of being discovered.
“Everyone is precious to me.”
He smiled softly as he looked at the local lords.
Because these words are sincere.
“….”
From Noble mtl dot com
But.
What happened after the events just mentioned?
“….”
Shameful memories are dark.
The expressions on the faces of the princesses at that time….
Because everyone was very dirty.
“Well, anyway! “We have a very special relationship!”
At this, my face turned a little red.
“I see….”
“I understand.”
“Hmm-. “I know what it feels like-.”
When I suddenly spoke, the lords all looked at me strangely.
They were all married men or mostly people who knew love.
“Hmm…. Well, since it is late, I will quickly prepare to return to the capital….”
I got up from my seat and headed toward the carriage.
Then, the members of the Golden Apple stared at my back.
“You can feel it, right?”
“Yes, it certainly seems like the princesses have a special regard for that man.”
“Uhuhu….”
The three people all smiled sinisterly.
And then, they looked at themselves and nodded.
“I might have to prepare a congratulatory gift for this someday.”
“I will prepare the coma.”
Like I finally found a rope to hold on to.
This is the moment when the neutrality that has been maintained for so long comes to an end.
“As expected, you are the Count. How can you see the future so well?”
「―――――」
The next day.
Newspapers containing special reports were published not only in the Cornell area but also in the capital of the empire.
「The promising second-in-command of the Solar Guild causes a ruckus in the brothel!!」
Solar, the highest guild in the imperial region.
Jake, the second-in-command there and the son of a former mercenary leader, was seen on the rampage.
He molested women in a brothel while drunk. It is said that this behavior occurred more than 10 times.
It aroused public outrage not only from the provinces but also from all citizens within the capital.
「Even trying to hide the incident by hiring bards?!」
However, this incident had been hidden until now due to the bards he hired.
Thanks to you, it has finally been revealed to the public.
「Solar’s guild leader, Frey. “I am very sorry about this incident.”
A picture of a red mercenary leader announcing a statement with a confused expression.
The picture is of course in the back alleys of the capital.
It even flowed into the palace of the princesses.
“Hmm-.”
Leah wearing a monocle in the West Office.
She sat with her legs crossed and looked down at the newspaper.
“It’s strange, the imperial reporter brings all the local gossip.”
She is wearing a shirt larger than her size.
She pulled up her sleeve, placed it over her nose, and inhaled her breath deeply.
“Whoa…” . “And of course, it’s Cornell’s job.”
I feel like the headache caused by government affairs is disappearing.
Leah enjoyed the feeling and played with her wide dress shirt.
“Good job researching body odor preservation magic. “It was almost 70% neatly restored.”
Leah’s blue eyes closed strangely.
She covered someone’s body odor all over her body, like her own fragrant perfume.
But, at that moment.
“Your Highness, I will report to you.”
“Now, wait a minute…” . “Come back in a little while, Damien!”
At the sound of a knock on her door, the First Princess of the Empire hurriedly tucked the hem of her shirt into her skirt.
Then, she tightened her stomach so that her own voluptuous breasts were as taut as possible.
「――――――」
「Mithril from Bakal, imported to Leon for the first time!」
Cornell’s caravan.
News has been delivered from the top of Berk that Bakal’s high-quality mithril will be imported for the first time.
The merchant promised to set this expensive material at a reasonable price and distribute it to all parts of the imperial capital.
“Bakalsan mithril… ?!”
Irina wearing a bathrobe after taking a shower.
Without even drying her hair, she stared at the newspaper.
Because she was looking for the weapons of the Verdant Knights.
“If it’s Cornell…. “Now, this is where the veil is.”
Irina was lost in her thoughts for a moment, as if the princess’s senses were activated.
Afterwards, she only figured out who was the instigator based on this little news.
The only person at Cornell who has connections to Bakal.
Because there is only one person.
“It’s a veil after all?”
The second princess was satisfied with being able to obtain expensive mithril at a reasonable price.
She put her thumb to her lips, thinking of the person who accomplished this task.
“It’s amazing….”
Since when?
She developed a habit of licking something with her sensual lips when she thought of someone.
She gave a strange look in her eyes without realizing it.
「――――――」
Finally, the newspaper arrived at the Eastern Imperial Palace.
There was a woman there who was so focused on something that she couldn’t even read the special report that had arrived.
Gorgeous and antique roof tiles.
There is a wide folding screen screen and various clothes scattered beneath it.
“Hmm…. Is this it? No, it’s too childish!”
Lydia threw away her red cheongsam.
And, as she looked closely at the dancer’s uniform she wore, she fell into trouble.
“So, Veil said that that fox-like guy also likes small people….”
She wrestled with the clothes as if she were engaged in a great diplomatic battle.
The secretary looked at that with concern.
“Your Highness, it has already been one hour. How long are you going to just look at clothes? .”
Dressed in her suit, he was worried that the third princess of the empire had neglected her state affairs and had fallen for her man.
“If it’s government affairs, today’s work has already been done.”
“Yes… ? “Is that really true?”
The secretary was surprised to hear the princess say that she had done so many things in the morning.
And, in fact, on the table next to the folding screen, numerous documents that had already been paid for were piled up.
“This can’t be right…” . You usually found it annoying….”
She was the one who usually finished all her state affairs by the end of the day, nibbling on her candy.
However, Lydia is thinking about something so that she can finish everything in the morning.
The secretary, surprised by this, blinked his sharp eyes.
“Secretary, don’t do that, just look at the clothes here. “I have someone to meet tomorrow.”
A strange cheongsam that was open all the way to her thighs.
It was so dizzying that you could almost see the straps of her underwear.
“Those clothes are absolutely not allowed!!”
At this, her middle-aged man, who had cared for her all her life like his own child, hurriedly shook his head.
“Not until dirt gets in my eyes!!”
