However, as far as I know, there are no major problems with the Empire right now. Externally or internally, the Ether Empire was in a situation where there were no major problems except for some local lords trying to expand their territory.
“Why did you call me, who is living in isolation?”
Well, it’s a busy body, but from the outside, it’s close to being a secluded person.
“Hmm, it’s nothing else but the empresses.”
Did you call me for marriage counseling? Shall we defeat the emperor? He seems to have noticed my intentions, whether my expression was a little outwardly revealing, or whether it was because of my reputation as an emperor.
“Well, as the count knows, aren’t the empresses’ families a bit powerful?”
Yes. It is William who has the heads of the aristocracy and the imperial faction as his father-in-law at the same time. Therefore, in the early days of his administration, he was able to run state affairs smoothly by receiving support from both sides.
“But now, the fact that the empresses conceived at the same time seems to be a problem.”
“I will reduce it for now.”
It’s good to have two wives pregnant at the same time. The problem is the problem, and congratulations were given. The bottom line is that since the two empresses were pregnant at the same time, the families were already trying to fight over who would be the successor, so they asked me, a neutral person, to mediate.
Of course, he already knew that the empresses had conceived. But I didn’t bother looking into it in detail. How could I keep watching until the two families fought for power outside the imperial palace? Even if he did, it would be up to William to take care of it.
To be precise, Hilda’s was about a week faster, but that’s not the point right now.
“Thank you.”
William received my congratulations. But the face wasn’t like that. I’ll have to give you an answer soon and go back.
“Your Majesty, actually, there is nothing to worry about.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Empress Hilda conceived a princess, and Empress Diane conceived a prince.”
“Is it really?”
Of course it is. It was confirmed by looking into the stomach.
“That’s right. The Guardian Spirit informed me.”
In this case, there is nothing better than selling the Guardian Spirit.
“He is such a wonderful person.”
William’s expression brightened at once. yes i am a great person Still, it might not be the time to be careless. There is no guarantee that the firstborn will be outstanding. Nor is the Ether Empire a country where the eldest son succeeds first. Well, until the child grows up to a certain extent, there will be no noise for the time being about the succession.
“By the way, the count has no intention of succession?”
“For now, it is. It is too high-brow.”
“Tsk, it’s such a pity.”
William clicked his tongue. Was there anyone who could introduce me? As far as I know, there is no young lady who has anything to do with William.
“Is anything going on?”
“There are so many nobles who are interested in the succession of the count. But maybe the count is too scary, so I can’t approach him and he calls me.”
No, why are you filing an appeal for my marriage?
“If we can’t get married, I’m thinking of adopting an adopted son in moderation, so please don’t worry too much.”
This is why I asked Setas if he had no intention of adopting me. It was half joking, of course, but half serious.
“I think there are a lot more noble materials interested in the position. For now, I’ll have to keep it a secret.”
William is right. If this is known, those who will abandon their family and come as adopted sons may fill the Akasha estate.
“Thank you for your kindness.”
I chatted with William a bit more before leaving the palace.
If it was difficult, it was a difficult problem. If I hadn’t confirmed the s*x of the fetus, the two factions would have fought bloody battles until the children were born.
Together with Dibbi, who was still waiting in the carriage, I went back to the Ecliptic Mansion. He ordered the servants to decorate Dibip.
Before long, Dibbi appeared as a new man. Originally, he was said to be a hunchback, but after washing and putting on new clothes, he was still worth looking at.
And as I knew from the first time I saw him, the boy named Dibip was not a bad talent. That’s not to say that he’s not a genius, and he’s a little short of genius, but he thought that if he worked hard, he would be able to make his talent bloom.
I took Dibbi back to the Akasha estate. When he called the official and asked him to find a suitable job for Dibib, he took Dibib and tried various things, and unexpectedly, he said that a job called a watchtower guard would be a good idea.
It’s hard to use the body, and I can’t even do office work because I haven’t been properly educated, but I can see well at night because I have good night vision.
Moreover, since I rarely encountered other people, it could be said that it was a customized job.
I went to Dibip, who was appointed as a watchtower guard.
“How can you do your job?”
“of course. I will do my best.”
Dibib seemed to like the position too. I got a decent job and accommodation overnight from a beggar in the slums, so that would be the case right now.
“You may be tired, but try to go to school during the day. You are talented.”
“Can I do something like that?”
“What kind of person are you? There is no such person in the Akasha estate.”
Divib nodded without speaking. As I said, Dibbi worked at the watchtower at night and went to school during the day to learn the basics.
There were fewer bad people in the Akasha estate compared to other estates, so there were no children who looked down on Dibip or made fun of him with a hunchback.
Dibib started to blossom that talent little by little. Basically, he was a smart kid. And he worked harder than anyone else and had passion. Dibib quickly learned all the letters and mastered arithmetic, and within a few months he was now learning rudimentary magic.
Even if the report didn’t come up, I was happy to watch it. There are many talents I found and hired other than Divib, but there was always someone I was attached to.
In the meantime, a shipyard was finally completed in the New World. The preparations for building the airship in earnest were completed.
The design of the airship was changed again. It was neither the floating island that the Dwarves had designed nor the floating fortress that Setas had added.
It was designed similar to the fact that Setas is a flying aircraft carrier in the other world, but I had nothing to say as I had never actually seen it. The model of the new airship had a smooth body like a real ship. However, this one was also huge. It is said that it was designed so that more than 500 people can board, but I wonder if it is even necessary, but the expert Setas said that this is a good thing, so I just kept my mouth shut.
The metals to enter were to be supplied from the new continent on its own. Originally, there were many iron ore mines in the New World. I just left it alone because there was no one to mine and I didn’t need it, but now there are a lot of genius dwarves working in the mines.
If you take a picture of the location of the mine, the elves and dwarves rushed in and dug a mine at once to create a mine.
In addition to iron ore, there are also quite a few gold and silver mines, so it is not immediately economically active, but when trading with the outside world, it will enrich the residents of the new continent.
Although it is a heterogeneous race that thinks the value of property is low due to lack of greed compared to humans, it is better to have it than not have it.
After passing by without incident for a while, Argin came to me early in the morning with a spleen expression. I was just guessing. What is to come is what is to come.
“My lord, I have something to tell you.”
“I know what you came for. But you should have found someone other than me.”
“That’s it, that’s…”
Argin was speechless.
“But are you really going to be okay?”
“No, of course!”
“Do you think you could die?”
“Do you really want to die?”
“No, I could really die.”
Argin doesn’t know how dangerous this is right now.
“I am quite strong now. Don’t you know?”
Well, now, if you look at it in terms of rank, it’s the second place among humans.
“That’s not enough”
“So, if the lord can help me…”
But will this be solved with my help? It may help a little, but I don’t think it will solve the fundamental problem.
“You have to help. I’ll make sure you don’t die.”
Argin’s expression immediately brightened.
“That is enough.”
He sent Argin for now and told me to come back in the evening. This can only be done after sunset.
Before sunset, Argyn came to visit, wandered outside the office, was kicked out, and returned after sunset.
And Argin and I left the mansion. We are now going to face what may be the most important battle in Argin’s life.
On top of my shoulder is Bastet, who came like a ghost. It’s a burden to have Bastet, whose eyes sparkle even more than usual, on her shoulder. I handed over a word out of courtesy.
“Are you doing anything special these days?”
It’s been a while since Bastet made a new home over Setas head.
[I want to eat something delicious]
Are you tired of tuna?
“If there is anything you would like to eat, tell me anything.”
I owed a lot to Bastet. can do that much.
[I want to eat full fish]
Full Fish What is it? Does it exist in this world? I don’t know, but I’ll ask later. You have already arrived at your destination.
I opened the blue door and stepped inside.
“Long time no see. saint”
A handsome man with a pale face greeted me.
From noble mtl dot com.
“How are you Eltis?”
“Thanks to you, I’m doing well.”
The first store in Paradise of the Blue Moon was very successful. The liquor made and supplied by vampires in the New World was very popular. Despite the price being a bit high for ordinary people to drink, it was selling like a hot drink.
Even now, there were almost no seats in the blue moon paradise. As I entered the bar, some of the people sitting there recognized me and tried to stand up.
I motioned for them to sit down again, and Eltis guided me into a room inside the bar.
It was a boudoir that only a few regulars could use. Usually Howard occupies the place alone, but these days, it was empty because he was having a long-term duel of souls with the Dwarf Elder in the New World.
Argin came in from behind with a stiff movement that made me wonder if this was a grand master.
“Argin says he has something to say.”
“okay.”
The cold eyes of the Vampires were fixed on Argin.
Argin was restless and struggled to open his mouth.
“Da, give me your daughter.”
In an instant, Eltis’ eyes turned red. Didn’t that only change like that when the instinct awakened? Argin could really die today.
Quaang!
Argin flew through the tavern’s walls and out. Even a grand master could not block the blow of Eltis, who was enraged.
I asked Eltis, who untied his wrist and came out through the hole.
“Did you know?”
“of course.”
Eltis smiled, showing his fangs, which looked exceptionally sharp today. Eltis’ adopted daughters, Violetta and Argin, have already played with fire and it has paid off. Eltis, who knows everything about blood like a ghost, couldn’t have known that a new life was in her stomach.
“That makes me even more resentful.”
I nodded. If she impregnated someone else’s daughter before the wedding, she would have nothing to say even if she was beaten to death.
Eltis’ furious attacks exploded one after another, and Argin flew around. In fact, the skills will be almost the same.
Of course, Eltis would have the advantage if he risked his life to fight, but the two would not fight to such an extent unless Violetta and Argin got divorced.
I slowly followed Eltis, heard a loud noise, calmed down the dispatched guards and vigilantes, sent them back, and watched Argin get beaten for a while.
“Are you having fun?”
I asked Bastet on my shoulder. This cat god must have come to see this.
Meow!
You do. I finally got to understand cats too.
Eltis’ beating lasted longer than expected and continued until dawn. I came right after the sun started to set, so Argin, who had been beaten for almost 12 hours, was a mess.
I could only say that the person who hit me or the person who was hit was great.
Eltis went into the tavern to avoid the rising sun, and I approached the fallen Argin and healed him.
“Is it good?”
“great.”
Argin laughed like an idiot. It was because he finally got permission from Eltis near the end of the beating.
“But my father-in-law is very strong.”
Unfortunately, Argin hadn’t seen the true form of Eltis yet.
“So you said I might die.”
“He is the continent’s strongest craftsman.”
Is it true that neither I nor Howard have any daughters? Argin laughed like an idiot again. Violetta, who had been watching from one side all night, was approaching. It was time to get out of the way.
“I am going too.”
I went inside the tavern and sat down in front of Eltis, who was resting.
“How does it feel to have the strongest human son-in-law?”
“We are still far away. I will have to train for a while.”
Eltis was also laughing. I got the feeling that Eltis would be leaving soon. It was a promise from the beginning that they would be together until Violetta settled down. I had high hopes that there might be some left, but now I was convinced after seeing the smile.
