There was no way to answer the question of how he felt for Nivea. So I decided to stay a little longer and watch.
Witch’s Elixir has started to be produced smoothly. It was because they had to secure a certain amount of supplies before the merchant Shalltear sent them arrived.
Beyond that, I did a few more things. I could guarantee that the witch’s elixir would succeed, but I couldn’t rely on it alone.
Borrowing a little bit of the vampire’s casting secret, he began to produce witches’ liquor and proceeded with other projects using the witches’ abilities that still remained.
The initial funding is all done with money from my own pocket. It sounds like a great business, but in reality it was just a pittance. Nivea said several times that she would pay it back later, but this was not enough money to open a small shop in the Akasha estate.
To me, who has never properly counted the money in my pocket, money is already close to meaningless.
Around the time the witch’s elixir had been completed and the witch’s drink prototype had just been released, Shalltear’s sent group arrived. It was a guild directly managed by the Principality of Nebra.
However, the size of the upper ranks was enormous, as if Shalltear had used his kindness. It was important to sell the territory here, but there were many things that were needed.
The items brought by the guild were all necessary, so I gave the money to buy them all. Nivea tried to refuse it at first, saying it was too much money, but later received the money and bought them after being told to pay back.
As expected, the witch’s elixir and alcohol obtained by the Nebra Merchants started to gain immense popularity within the Nebra Principality.
The quantity taken by the Nebra Merchant Merchant was not sold at first due to unfamiliarity, but as word of mouth spread, it sold out in an instant.
Around that time, officials dispatched from the Akasha territory arrived at the Nivea territory, and when the administration began to return, the Nivea territory began to find stability.
Aside from the territory, I was diligently looking for Shalltear’s successor. It wasn’t difficult to find, of course. Many of the newly born children in the past few years have outstanding talents.
However, not all of them are candidates. He had no intention of bringing a child who lived happily with good parents.
Among hundreds of talented children, we narrowed down the candidates to three children.
The first were the people of the Principality of Nebra. Needless to say, he is a very gifted child. She is now six years old, but lost both her parents in an accident last year and has been living with her uncle. My uncle is a relatively nice person, but his house is also not in a good situation, and living in someone else’s house can’t be good.
However, he has no wrinkles and is a very good boy. But there was one flaw. It’s a girl, but I didn’t exclude it from the candidate. There was no law forcing Shalltear, a female monarch, not to take a girl as her successor.
The second was a boy born in the ecliptic of the Aether Empire. It wasn’t in Akasha’s territory, but like most cities, there were slums in the imperial capital. He is the child of a prostitute there. He is now less than 100 days old. Her mother reluctantly sucks her wet, but she is a child whose future cannot be guaranteed if left as it is.
The innate talent itself is the best among the three. Depending on education, it can become the most outstanding talent. If Shalltear does not choose this child, I will take her to the Akasha estate and raise her.
The third is a 13-year-old orphan from the far east continent of the Hughes Empire. The boy who ran out of the orphanage was young, but he was holding back the children in the back alley and reigning as the captain. Among them, more than half of the children were older than themselves.
Due to the nature of the back alley, most of the things the gang run by the child do are bad things. But being a ruler is not just about being nice. Of course, the previous two children can change according to education, but nature is not so easy to change. This child was born to be a born leader.
I went back to Shalltear with these three candidates. Shalltear kept his promise, and I didn’t have to procrastinate.
As a result, it was meaningless to think about which of the three children Shalltear would choose.
“I would choose all three children.”
“Are you going to have all three children?”
“I’m still young, can’t I wait and see? Even children who are not chosen can be moderated by the government, so it won’t be a loss to them.”
I accepted Shalltear’s opinion. The girl living in the Principality of Nebra decided to send a person directly from the royal family, and I decided to bring the other two children.
First, it was very easy to bring a child living in the Ecliptic of the Aether Empire. When I threw a gold coin to the mother, the mother told me to take the child without hesitation.
However, it was a little difficult to bring the guy who was the captain of the back alley of the Hughus Empire. It’s because I just didn’t listen well. In that case, there is a very good communication method.
The guy who saw the sword that caused the aura immediately surrendered. he’s an evil boy He quickly lowered his tail to opponents he could not defeat on his own.
That’s how I brought the two children to Shalltear. The back alley leader immediately noticed what situation he was in and quickly put on a look full of anticipation. I could see ambition overflowing in the boy’s eyes. The girl is too nice and the other is still too young. The next throne will already feel like your own.
But Shalltear is still young. You’ll still have to wait 40 years to inherit the throne. At that time, it is the time when all the good conditions you have now can be overturned.
Anyway, I kept my promise by guiding the children to Shalltear. The rest was up to Shalltear to take care of, and how well the children could use their opportunities on their own.
“By the way, you said that you only need to keep the deal with the witches of Count Akasha short, right?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Can’t we keep it a little longer? I don’t know anything else, but alcohol is really my taste.”
“It won’t be difficult to maintain enough for the empress to eat. However, I won’t wait for the rest of the deal in the Kingdom of Cython for too long.”
Rumors of the witch’s elixir had already spread to the Kingdom of Cython. Merchants who were already recognized within the Cython Kingdom were snooping around Nivea’s territory.
Even in the Kingdom of Saiton, it won’t take long to see the situation in which its goods are exported to other countries ahead of its own.
“Should we make a deal with the Kingdom of Cython to make the witches’ territory belong to Nebra?”
“It is the Empress’s choice.”
I don’t know if there was even a slim chance before, but I won’t give it up so easily now.
Shalltear really seemed to have that in mind. Even in my opinion, it seemed better that Nivea’s territory was transferred to the Principality of Nebra.
However, even if Cython is a little less useful right now, there is no way they will easily let go of Nivea, their greatest strength. Moreover, I will not be foolish to hand over Nivea’s territory, which has just begun to develop.
As a gift to Shalltear, I handed over a bunch of vampiric liquor that could be said to be the original, not the witch’s liquor. It was a gift with various meanings, but it was not something I could know how Shalltear understood the meaning.
In fact, everything I have to do in Nivea’s territory is now complete. Now it’s time to go back to the Akasha estate.
When I told Nivea that I was going back, Nivea asked for a day. And the night came.
I expected it to some extent, but Nivea came crashing into me. I didn’t deny it. Rather, it burned hotly without even knowing it.
After the dreamlike night passed, Nivea fell asleep at dawn. I carefully got out of bed and put on my clothes. And before leaving, I raised the Nivea blanket and covered it, realizing that I had seen this scene in my foreknowledge.
In the end, the taste was a little bit bitter that it had been foretold. Returning to the Akasha estate after a long time, I heard various reports from Wither.
Almost everyone already knows this, but sometimes the alter ego misses it.
“But the Neos Kingdom seems to be going quite differently than before.”
It must be a different story from Wither’s previous life.
“is it?”
“Yes, my memory may not be accurate, but I know that the kingdom of Cython was destroyed around this time. However, since the lord supports the witches in the kingdom of Saiton, there is nothing to perish now, is it?”
“How did Cython perish?”
“Nobody knows that. It’s a story I’ve only heard from rumors, but literally overnight, the entire royal capital was reduced to ashes, and not a single person survived.”
Who is capable enough? There are not many beings in this world other than God who can do such a thing. Those who mainly use physical force, such as Howard and Argin, are excluded for now. No matter how grand master he is, he can’t kill everyone in the royal capital overnight.
There must be great magic or authority, but if that’s enough, Antariel, Golem, and Ben Bezalel, who took a lot of modified humans, or Setas would be possible.
But did these three people ever have such a grudge against Cython in their previous lives? Except for Setas, who probably died years ago. Then there are two left.
If there was a possibility between the two, Ben Bezalel, who participated in the civil war, would have had such a grudge against the Kingdom of Cython?
As I was thinking about it, a scene passed before my eyes. His face was distorted like that of a demon. They smashed, burned, and killed everything in sight. And what was killed he raised up and burned again.
‘It’s me.’
It was I who destroyed Cython. There’s only one thing I’m angry at enough to burn Cython’s royal capital to ashes.
“Do you know what happened to the witches?”
“After escaping from the Kingdom of Cyton and exiled to the Aether Empire, I settled there and lived well. At least it was while I was alive.”
“What about the Archwitch Nivea?”
“She escaped and lived well. I understand that he was also given a title in the Empire.”
what? It’s not the story I expected. If Nivea had been alive and well, what would I have been so angry about? What is the difference between Wither and his previous life?
“How was the Principality of Nebra?”
“It wasn’t long before the Principality of Nebra was created. It wasn’t even a principality, it was the kingdom of Nebra. Empress Shalltear was not an empress at that time, but a queen.”
I found something different. But I don’t think this is the reason I’m angry. First of all, he began to intensively investigate and audit the royal family and important nobles of the Kingdom of Saiton. If there was a reason, I thought that would be the cause.
Also, the number of clones around Nivea was greatly increased. And I also visited Nivea’s estate often.
I’m not the kind of guy who throws women away after a one-night stand. I tried again to suggest that Nivea move to the Akasha estate. If he brought the witches into the Akasha estate, he was thinking of formally proposing marriage. But it was rejected by Nivea.
As Shalltear had said, she sent envoys to the Kingdom of Cython to formally offer to sell Nivea territory as well. Considering the value of the territory including the amount proposed, it was a very large amount.
However, Cython Kingdom rejected the offer with a single stroke. So far, it was within the expected range. The problem happened after that.
