111 – Grocery Shopping
“Maybe this would be great! Momma!”
“What can I do? It’s over.”
“Son… Your brother knows all about it, so don’t blame him too much.”
They are dressed up in fancy silk clothes and silver jewelry and gather in a large pyeonjeon.
Anyone can see that they were the royal family, a royal family that supports a country.
They were having a meeting about what might be good about the recent discovery of a super-giant oasis by the husband of a church saint in a neutral region.
The king even fainted when he heard that it was several hundred times the size of the oasis discovered by their ancestors.
“The lighthouse in the desert has already been taken over by a man called Bugun. What can I do?”
“So you’re saying you’re going to give me your place as the capital of the Neutral Zone!”
“Isn’t that a problem we can solve? It’s all in the hands of the president of the National Alliance.”
The president has already finished preparations to relocate the building.
The State of the Church also paid an astronomical fee to dismantle the temporary port town they were using and started constructing the largest city in the neutral region.
In addition, it is said that the saintess’s husband handed over all her authority to her saintess.
In the first place, they cannot interfere in the construction of a city in a neutral area through legal procedures, but
It became a difficult topic to even mention because the saintess, the representative of the goddess, is said to be in charge of her.
That’s why family members who can openly talk are gathering and having conversations.
Of course, unfortunately, no proper solution has been found.
“Isn’t it because of the size of the oasis that Unio was able to exist in the capital city in the first place?”
“That’s right…”
“So you’re saying that I should just stay still without doing anything!”
“Your brother seems to have misunderstood something. Such is the law of the Neutral Region.”
The home country of Unio, the largest city-state in the former neutral zone, ‘Terra Republic’ is a very small country.
It is a historic country with a history of nearly 3,000 years, but its population and national power are very weak, and it is only one member country in the national federation.
However, because the Republic of Terra was the home country of Unio in a neutral region, it also had several benefits and a right to speak.
However, the Order of the Hellenes, a permanent member of the Federation of Nations, took the title of the capital of the neutral region.
From the standpoint of the Republic of Terra, it was only a loss, and from the standpoint of the Hellenes Church, it was an unexpected rice cake.
“What…What can I do. These are all trials and destinies given by the Goddess…”
“I’m not convinced! I’ll go to the National Federation and file a complaint!”
“Don’t do stupid things. Did you find out that the prince who is the number one successor to the throne of the Kingdom of Lolth was excommunicated a while ago!”
“But!!”
“And if you, the heir, leave the country, the people will be confused. Just be quiet.”
The Duke of the Principality ordered his son.
Don’t do anything stupid and stay still.
It’s all over anyway.
Hearing that, the duke’s son squeezed his hand tightly.
He seemed really resentful and resentful.
***
Stella seems really busy these days.
Looks like he’s busy with Oasis city construction.
Aren’t you glad you didn’t go to the site though…
If I had abandoned myself and left alone, I would have been very sad.
“The saintess will try to take you somehow.”
“I still have work, but I can’t go.”
“A month after getting married and going to the National Union, isn’t that what a guy who has been playing for two months would say?”
“Is that the same for you?”
If anyone sees you, you’ll know that you’re playing because you want to play.
Of course, to the person who went to the National Federation and filed a complaint to punish the Kingdom of Lol’s under international law.
“Yes, yes…”
“Spell it… You’re going to get a little scolded.”
“Oh, no, Mrs. Ma. Please forgive me for my mistake.”
“Ehh… Let’s eat.”
By the way, we haven’t gone to work yet.
I am resting at home after taking a break for a week saying that I worked hard to come back after traveling a long way.
So we, who have nothing to do, are busy cleaning the front yard.
While we were gone, the remaining members of the Knights cleaned up, but the growing grass and trees seemed to have nothing to do with it.
This is my duty as the representative of Stella, the owner of the house.
“Yongyong, prune the tree beautifully.”
“Kyung!”
Yongyong started pruning the tree neatly with wind magic.
At the same time, I started arranging the leaves of the small trees in the flower bed.
From what I heard, it seems that King Jin made Yongyong do this often.
Forcing my daughter-in-law to work so hard… Even if Jinwang wasn’t the only one, I’d be cursing him coolly.
“Kyung!”
“Hey, did my daughter finish it already?”
Still, if you can solve a problem that can be solved by dozens of people working together for hours, you can finish it in a matter of seconds by yourself.
Let’s give Yongyong a delicious bread later.
“You don’t give anything to a priest who works hard?”
“I’ll give you a piece of bread too.”
“The bread is good. Can you go to the village to the east of the store to buy some wood cutters?”
“It won’t work, I don’t have…”
I can’t move without Dave, and Dave can’t move without me.
I wonder if something like this happens between men, but in my case, Eri-san and Etheria are included as well.
It means that the master and the attendant must always go together.
I thought it would be frustrating at first, but it’s not that frustrating.
“What about Eri and Etheria?”
“They both want to go because they have something to live for.”
“Then I’m glad… When shall we depart?”
“Now?”
“…..I have to eat and go.”
It is a town that takes at least an hour round trip.
Is it okay to go without eating?
*
After that, I came to the eastern village with our priests and knights.
The woodcutter Dave wanted to buy seemed to be foreign-made, so he said he had to go to a place where foreign merchants gathered.
That’s where Stella and I went to buy furniture.
“What are Eri and Etheria going to live for?”
“I put on oven mitts and stuff…”
“I also want to buy stationery and a ballpoint pen and go shopping.”
“Okay… Let’s go shopping comfortably today.”
It feels strange that I left Stella alone and came out to play.
Well, it’s okay because I can take care of Stella later.
“Shall we go together or share with the knights?”
“Hey, go together. Something will happen.”
“You’d better do that, Mrs. Ma.”
“If you leave Alvin alone, something will happen.”
Oh…
I don’t think I’ve ever had a serious accident.
For some reason, everyone started to worry about me.
Isn’t there a person in this Order who would start a fight with a person walking while being escorted by the Templars?
No… There was one…
Coming to think of it, that person was also from the Kingdom of Rawls.
It’s better to just move together.
“Then where can I hear it?”
“If you go over there, you’ll find a big market or something? I think you’ll be satisfied if you go that way.”
“I agree.”
“Me too.”
Since everyone agreed, I nodded.
As expected, our attendant priests are on good terms.
Well, maybe it’s because I have two soon-to-be married couples and my younger sister.

“Alvin…How much money did you bring with you?”
“Me? Five silver coins…”
“Lend me some money. I’ll give it to you as soon as I get home.”
“Why, I want to buy something, but it’s not enough?”
The laughter I was trying to hold back burst out.
That’s why I told you to pack a lot of money.
When I came out earlier, I was told that I only needed to buy a wooden sharpener, so I brought less, but when I came back, it seems that there is something that catches my eye.
“I think I’ll regret it if I can’t buy this? So please lend me it.”
“How much is it?”
“A piece of silver…”
“Oh…That’s pretty expensive.”
Considering that our monthly wages are in silver dollars, it seems like they are buying something quite expensive.
Well, the watch I’m buying isn’t very expensive, so it’s fine if I lend it to you.
“Here, here.”
“Thank you! Thank you very much!”
“Okay, so hurry up and buy something. I want to go buy a watch.”
“Doesn’t matter. I’ll be back soon.”
Dave started running with an overclock again.
Looking at that, I smiled and turned my eyes to Eri-san and Etheria, who were picking out stationery next to me.
“Are you worried?”
“Yeah…What would you like…”
“How about this one? It looks pretty because it’s green.”
“Is this okay? Then I’ll do this.”
Etheria nodded her head at the words of her older sister, Eri, and immediately made the payment.
Now it seems like we’ve become really good friends.
The reason Etheria is buying her stationery is that her mother really likes her daughter’s letters.
It must be difficult to leave her 15-year-old daughter alone, but she seems to want to send her regards to her parents by writing letters often.
The royal family also has their own worries.
As expected, no one lives comfortably in the world.
“Did Eri find something to buy?”
“Yes, an oven glove and a stainless alloy spatula.”
She says she bought it to cook with Stella.
Recently Stella has been baking with Eri-san a lot…
