#13 Waiting for Spring (8)
It was truly a storm-like appearance and exit.
Igret shook hands with Danal, who suddenly appeared, and Ricky, who was lost in spirit, and shouted, “This makes everyone happy!”
I keep watching it with the mindset to see how far I can keep it.
“Then I must go! Boo, madam! Thanks for the treat… yo. this!”
“Ah, yes.”
“Guys, let’s go!”
The meal hadn’t even started, but Ygret seemed to want to leave and dragged the two of them along.
While the atmosphere was forming to take the two of them like this, Tyria stepped out.
“By the way, could you leave the drivers behind for a while?”
“huh?”
“Unfortunately, since these knights have just been appointed to the territory, trouble will arise if they leave. I understood the wizard’s intentions, but I needed a bit of an ending.”
For Tyria, he said this because he thought that Elric was a knight who had worked hard.
It was just a word that I said for that reason, but the ripple effect was enormous.
“lady!”
“master!”
Tyria at that moment was the savior to Danal and Ricky, who had the feelings of pigs being led to the slaughterhouse.
It was a light that warmly embraced and rescued from the fire of hell, and at the same time, it was like a warrior who saved the people from a great evil.
The look on his face, which was thought to be fat, is reflected in solemnity.
His clear tone is like that of a general reading a speech on a podium.
Dignified, brave and beautiful!
Tears flowed from the eyes of Danal and Ricky, who couldn’t help but feel the rising emotion.
“Well, then I get it! yo. this!”
Since Ygret agrees, the case is completely solved.
It was a word that had no choice but to get through in the first place.
Wasn’t Ygret’s purpose an excuse for the words ‘I came to find a fiancée’, which he uttered in an instant, and at the same time, ‘I’m going to draw a line with Kasha, who has a lingering attachment to me’?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, since all of the above objectives had been achieved, the two knights had nothing more to do.
“Guys, see you later!”
Took!
After putting her hands on the nape of their necks, Ygret waved her arms wide and laughed before disappearing from the mansion.
Silence then turns.
She left allegiance to Danal and Ricky, relief to Edward, and questions to Elric.
‘After all, what did that woman come for?’
Elric had to indulge in that thought for a while.

It was after dinner, after all the chaos had passed.
One of the unwelcome guests had disappeared, but three more remained.
It was a headache, but whatever it was, it had to be resolved.
“It was an interesting sight. I didn’t know that Hwa-hwa could be such a pleasant person.”
Late at night, in the reception room.
Returning Tyria to the room, Elric narrowed his eyes at Elbus’ words.
It was an act that showed displeasure, but Elbus only shrugged his shoulders as usual.
“I must have known and came here. It’s all a crazy coincidence.”
“That’s not something I really want to hear.”
But it’s not that I don’t understand why they came.
As I said earlier, Elric has been sensitive to news from the West to the extent that he can predict their purpose to some extent.
“Prince, long time no see.”
Elric nodded slightly.
Only then did the 3rd prince, Credon Mahir, who was sitting with his legs crossed, took off his bowler hat.
suitable for blondes.
The handsome man with elegant lines took a long breath and replied.
“Long time no see. Kasha.”
“Don’t you know now that it’s not that name?”
“All I need is the name.”
Kredon Mahir, the King’s Wrath.
For Elric, this was the second meeting after the Imperial Banquet.
It’s been several years, but that blunt disposition doesn’t seem to have changed at all.
“Could you hand over the author first?”
What Credon pointed out was Edward, who was munching on refreshments.
“hmm?”
He tilted his head, and then he drew a smirk.
“Ah, are you going to make me feel so alienated? I came because I had some business.”
“Isn’t your business a chlorine?”
“Ouch, old man. Didn’t I tell you that I was wrong?”
Edward raised his eyebrows as if he was unfair.
Certainly Edward had apologized as soon as Ygret had left. He emphasized several times that all of this came from an accidental mistake, and even revealed that he had no hostility.
Can you make it look pretty with one thing like that?
Even if it was a mistake, it cannot be denied that it led to an accident.
Besides, it also played a part that I didn’t have good feelings about him in the first place.
“You should be thankful that this is inside the mansion. you.”
When I expressed those feelings in one word, Edward made a sad face.
It seemed that he had no intention of leaving quietly.
“Huh… Not on my side.”
“If you know, why don’t you stop going now?”
“I know that is another story. No, I don’t want to do this either. Yes, I don’t want to offend the elders. By the way. Those humans are sitting there, how am I going?”
Edward pointed to Credon and Elbus.
“Let’s be honest. Didn’t you guys come here to recruit the elders too?”
“I’m not brainless enough to say that to an enemy general.”
“I already answered everything. what.”
A sharp current flowed between Credon and Edward.
Elric narrowed his brows.
“… If that was the case, I could have written a letter.”
I didn’t want to disturb the peace.
The thought of returning to the battlefield when the time was right was fading.
That is an undeniable fact.
But that’s what led to the result of calling them to the territory, so I’m sick to the stomach.
What the hell are these people fussing about to get this lame one?

“Please come back. I have nothing to say.”
It was the moment Elric was about to stand up.
“If you really want to share a story, what would you do? It is an important issue.”
“Me too. It’s a lifeline issue.”
Credon and Edward were of the same opinion.
At that point, Elric couldn’t help but question.
‘Is something happening on the battlefield that I don’t know about?’
No, if there was something he really didn’t know, it would be the Empire.
Edward’s purpose was probably to protect Zeldia, the major shareholder, and keep the battlefield in a standoff.
Elric, who had lived on the battlefield for a long time, knew.
The most perfect way to avoid the fire of war is not to turn away, but to face and walk in reverse.
There is nothing more terrifying than the absence of information.
talk needs to be heard
Judgment is over.
“… Then let’s listen to the prince’s side.”
“Me?”
“Let’s go. I have no heart to listen to your business.”
“Are you old?”
Embarrassment bloomed on Edward’s face.
He scratched his head, sighed, and leaned his upper body forward.
“I have no intention of going one-sided like that. I have no intention of holding it on the battlefield in the first place.”
Directly speaking was an agreement, in other words, a trade offer.
“You only need to swing your sword once on the battlefield. Even the elders will know which battlefield it will be, so I’ll skip that part, and if you just do it, I’ll pay for it. If you wish, we can even provide follow-up measures to ensure that nothing related to the battlefield ever happens again. You said that before, right? I am against the elders coming to the battlefield.”
In the end, the words to save Gerdia.
The conditions attached to the back actually appealed to Elric as well.
It means that he will put his name on the line to stop something like today.
It is only natural that he hesitated as he had already gone through trouble once.
Edward seemed to know that, and his smile deepened.
Edward looked at the Imperial side with a smug look.
However, that smile did not last long.
“Geuhup… !”
Elbus, who had been listening to the story until the day before yesterday, laughed.
It was a smile that stood out with its unique charm.
Daejeon What is so funny.
It was a thought provoking moment.
“Hey buddy.”
Elbus opened his mouth.
“None of the prices offered by the goldsmith are of any practical benefit to you. Isn’t it?”
A look of wonder crept over Elric’s face.
Edward’s forehead grew sinews.
Meanwhile, only Elbus was relaxed.
“Look at this goldsmith.”
“What is it?”
“Well, how should I say this?”
Tok, tok.
Elbus, who had been tapping his cheek with his index finger, smiled.
“You have to do the things I said before even if Elric doesn’t go to the battlefield.”
“yes?”
“That friend is your shareholder.”
“That’s moose… .”
For a moment, Edward’s expression darkened.
It’s because there was a passing thought.
‘wait for a sec.’
Elbus’s laid-back attitude.
Kasha with a face that doesn’t know anything.
word shareholder.
and a 6% stake KS within EW that is silent.
It was a cause and effect that was quickly made because he had been quite troubled by KS’s work lately.
‘Kasha. Kasha. KS?’
It was the moment when the guess was completed.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I told you. He said he invested with the money you entrusted him with.”
Elbus chinned Edward.
“I put it there.”
Doubts became certain.
Edward’s action was quick.
He slid off the sofa and fell to his knees on the floor.
Politeness like a painting permeated Edward’s posture.
It could have been used as a textbook.
“Are you there?”
Edward looked up at Elric sadly.
It was the face of a dog that met its lost owner.
“Lord… ?”
A synonym for shareholder and master.
At least it was for Edward.
whimper… .
Even making such a pained sound, Edward’s eyes lit up.
It’s a recruitment, it’s a nabal, and Edward’s head is only filled with the idea that he has to look good to the shareholders.
I knew from the initial that he was the No-Show investor lol.
