Chapter 79 – Hero of the West (3)
Xian went to the barracks with Conrad.
It was none other than the barracks where Xian had just woken up.
There was no other reason.
Although the crisis in the West has been resolved, the damage has not yet been fully repaired.
And the Gern Territory was the first area to be swept away by monsters.
Although it was less than Ruben before development…
Still, it was nothing but ruins.
The only clean place was here.
So Xian entered the barracks with Conrad.
“Lord.”
Upon entering the barracks, Amelia rose from her seat.
Since Sian heard the circumstances from Amelia, he left right away.
It seemed that he couldn’t leave the place because he was worried.
As expected, Amelia approached Xian with a worried expression on her face.
“Are you okay? It’s very noisy outside…?”
And as she spoke, Amelia’s head tilted to the side for a moment.
It was because he had found someone who had entered after Xian.
Amelia’s gaze naturally turned to Xi’an’s back.
and face to face.
“Hwa, Hwa, Your Highness the Crown Prince?!?”
Amelia’s eyes popped open.
His expression was on the verge of fainting.
Besides, why was the prince here!
And why did Xian and I enter this place alone!
Why is the second person in the empire?
Amelia couldn’t understand what was going on.
and finish
“ah? Ahh···?”
Amelia is broken again.
Sian looked at Amelia and shook his head.
Well, look at the reaction.
Amelia didn’t seem to know that Conrad was coming either.
Apparently, going west was Conrad’s arbitrary decision.
“hmm? Who is this woman?”
Conrad, who found Amelia, asked Xian.
Sian slowly opened his mouth.
“This is my native Amelia. Now I lead the Ruben Brahe upper house.”
“Ruben Brahe? Wait, could it be Brahe…?”
Conrad tilted his head at the name Brahe.
He seemed to know Amelia’s family, Brahe.
Hagisa Brahe was a caravan that briefly approached the dream of becoming the number one person in the West.
It was to the extent that he knew Brahe’s name when he was in the Ciando family.
Not to mention, there was no way that the crown prince, Conrad, would not know.
“Amelia was a daughter of the Brahe family.”
“Huh… I knew something bad happened a few years ago. Was that woman a member of your domain?”
Before long, Conrad’s gaze turned to Amelia.
But what
“ah? Ahhh??”
Amelia was still broken.
Sian let out a small sigh and spoke to Conrad.
“Amelia is out of order… no, she seems very upset.”
Sian sneaked up to Amelia and stabbed her in the side.
“hot!”
Then Amelia flashed and was fixed.
Then, in amazement, he set his example.
“Wow, see your Highness, the Crown Prince.”
Was it that much fun?
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Is it because I resemble you? Youngji people are also quite special. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Conrad let out a big laugh.
“No, I was rude. sorry···.”
“It’s done. That’s not what I meant, so don’t be afraid. ha ha ha.”
At Amelia’s words, Conrad waved his hand and said,
In a way, it seemed ugliness.
Conrad just smiled, wondering if this situation was pleasant.
“Amelia.”
“yes? Oh yes!”
At Cian’s notice, Amelia hurriedly rose from her seat.
Then, hurrying out of the barracks, he went out.
Seeing Amelia like that, Conrad asked Xian.
“Am I that difficult?”
“Don’t you tell the Crown Prince? Even if it’s not Amelia, everyone will be like that in front of Your Highness.”
“hmm···.”
Conrad nodded once.
Because I wasn’t aware of my position.
“But don’t you find it difficult for me at all? Come to think of it, I think it was like that when we first met.”
“You are mistaken. It is still difficult enough.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Conrad laughed out loud.
“I like you because I am like this.”
Conrad moved along with a kind smile.
Then, seated in an appropriate place, he spoke to Xian.
“Sit down. Oh dear. i was a guest May I sit here?”
Xian wanted something.
Conrad only smiled again.
Xian was located at a moderate distance from Conrad.
“Hmm… I don’t know where to begin.”
Conrad was silent for a moment, as if lost in thought.
And it was something I felt before.
Conrad seemed to know all about affairs in the West.
Exactly what the West was like.
And why didn’t he properly grasp the circumstances of the West?
Also, what did Xi’an do in the West?
Even what the West would have been like if Xian hadn’t been there.
After a while, Conrad slowly opened his mouth.
“First of all, I have to say thank you very much. Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you… the West would be over. On behalf of the imperial family, I sincerely thank you.”
Conrad sincerely thanked Xian.
Xian looked at Conrad like that.
In fact, it was not necessary for Conrad to do this.
Aside from any other explanation.
Because Xian also volunteered to build an overwhelming justification.
So there was no need to do this.
Even so, it goes this far.
With what kind of person Conrad is.
It was a part where you could get a glimpse of Conrad’s sincere care for the people.
“You know, it was something I needed too. To be honest, things worked out better than expected, so I’m in a good situation, so you don’t have to go that far.”
Sian showed humility and said to Conrad.
But Conrad shook his head and said.
“Of course, it was necessary for you too. But you simply didn’t think so. From what I heard, they handed out items for free to the starving people.”
“uh···.”
Xian paused for a moment.
And Conrad’s words that followed.
“To take great losses for the sake of the people…”
Maybe…
I seem to have misunderstood quite a bit about this part.
Of course, there were things that could not be ignored by the starving people.
Still, I was thinking of tearing it off to the nobles of the West.
“How can this be an action that can only stem from duty?”
But Conrad really seemed to think that Xian accepted the loss.
This… shouldn’t have gone on like this.
Even the crown prince had to say what he had to say.
Sian slowly opened his mouth.
“That’s-“
“I will pay well enough for that. Thanks again.”
And at Conrad’s words that followed, Xian kept his mouth shut.
No, not exactly…
“It was just doing what I was supposed to do.”
I wiped my mouth clean!
Xian slightly lowered his head without any change in expression.
“You really…”
Conrad’s eyes subtly changed at the sight of Xian.
It was as if there was no one like Xian in his eyes.
“what···.”
Xian secretly avoided Conrad’s gaze.
No matter how much it was written, this was a little… burdensome!
No, because I was stabbed by my conscience!
But to be honest, I didn’t mean to say that.
no what…
Because good is good
And for real. I’m not kidding.
There was also a heart that could not turn away from starving people.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have unpacked the items like that.
Of course, if someone asks me if I solved it for free even in a situation where I couldn’t get it off…
hmm.
Xian tended not to think about things that hadn’t happened.
well, anyway.
“As soon as the word comes out, I will go ahead with it. Do you have any ledgers?”
“There are few things to keep track of stock, but…”
Inventory is sick.
It was a ledger that he recorded while beating Amelia to devour each one.
Xian took out several sheets of parchment from his bosom.
It’s nothing but before what happened.
It was the parchment he had received from Amelia while he was explaining the circumstances.
Conrad was handed the parchment by Xian.
“You recorded it pretty accurately.”
And there were more items than expected.
I wondered if this was the amount and type that could be produced in one territory.
Almost to the extent that it could come out of the entire county.
There were even things I had never seen before.
soap.
I’m not sure what the hell it’s for.
It wasn’t even out of stock at all.
So, if you sum up all the items listed in the ledger…
“7 million gold… what is this?”
Conrad screamed involuntarily.
7 million gold!
What kind of ogre farts is this!!
Conrad looked at Xian with an absurd expression.
‘Oh right!’
And Xian wanted to ache.
No matter how many items and quantity of items.
The price of 7 million gold could never come out.
It couldn’t be called an upsurge.
Even so, it was simple that 7 million gold came out.
‘I didn’t fix the price that was beaten.’
Because Xian hit the price of goods several times!
I just wrote it down because I was planning on ripping it off from the western nobles anyway.
just as expected.
Conrad asked again, casting his gaze at the parchment.
“The prices of the items listed in the ledger here are a bit strange… In particular, don’t grain prices make sense?”
Conrad gave him a suspicious look.
Even though he was the crown prince, he still knew the basic market conditions.
Seeing Conrad like that, Xian pondered for a moment.
but come now
I couldn’t fix my words.
There was no other reason.
‘7 million gold!’
Because Xian’s eyes have already gone back for 7 million gold!
Sian slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s because it’s a specialty of Leuven.”
“Special products?”
Xian nodded and said.
“Crops do not grow in the Dark Forest. As you know, it is because it is infested with demonic energy. The crops sold by our Ruben Brahe Merchant Merchant are harvested from such a dark forest.”
“So there is a price premium?”
“That’s it.”
Sian nodded without changing his expression.
Conrad looked at the cyan silently.
Sian slightly lowered his gaze and received Conrad’s gaze.
A strange war of nerves came and went.
Conrad did not know that this price made no sense.
But Conrad finally burst out laughing.
“You really…”
Conrad shook his head as if he couldn’t stand it.
“At the time I entrusted you with this job, I told you that I would reward you even by ripping off the nobles of the west. Above all, he just said that he would give me enough compensation…”
Conras’ gaze.
“Anyway, I really need to be careful with my cube in front of you.”
Eventually, Conrad nodded slowly.
“Okay. I will reward you with 7 million gold.”
“ah···!”
Sian let out an exclamation involuntarily.
As if someone had cast electric shock magic.
Xian’s whole body trembled.
But Xian desperately suppressed it.
No matter what, I couldn’t have access to the crown prince!
It was 7 million gold.
It was a whopping 7 million gold!
A whopping 7 million gold was earned from a single upswing!
Even this wasn’t the end.
The money that none other than Melia earned while roaming the West.
I haven’t heard how much yet.
From nob le mt l. co m
Judging from Amelia’s expression of confidence, it must not have been a small amount.
If you add that money and the money currently in Xian’s hands…!
maybe… really maybe…
It could have been over 10 million gold!
‘Che, 10 million gold!!!’
“Ahh···!”
Sian let out an exclamation involuntarily.
The whole body that finally finished contacting could not control itself and trembled!
10 million gold.
The amount of money went crazy because I couldn’t really make sense of it!
Xian wanted to take out his smart phone from his arms right now.
The mobile lord who became stronger through the last temporary maintenance.
However, can he remain sane even in front of 10 million gold?
‘Ahh···!!’
Right now Xian, I can’t keep my sanity!!
Xian couldn’t control his trembling body for a while.
How much time had passed like that?
Xian managed to come to his senses.
and.
“·······”
I could see Conrad’s dumbfounded expression.
“Hey… are you okay?”
Conrad wanted something.
I really wanted something.
Didn’t you say that you had a hard time with me just a while ago?
But what now…
Sian answered with a slight frown.
“Ah, since the wounds sustained in the decisive battle with the devil have not yet healed…”
“ah.”
Conrad then nodded as if he understood Xian.
“I’m sorry. They say you just woke up.”
“it’s okay.”
Sian nodded slightly.
Fortunately.
It seemed to go well.
Xian let out a sigh of relief.
Eventually, Conrad’s expression darkened.
That’s what Xian just said.
The demon that disappeared a thousand years ago is resurrected.
Because this wasn’t usually a serious problem.
“I’m asking you out of the question… was it really a devil?”
“It was clearly the devil.”
Xian shook his head firmly.
Despite Xian’s confident words, Conrad did not readily believe.
However, since there were testimonies I heard, I couldn’t deny it.
None other than Alex’s report.
What was written in it was shocking itself.
The situation in the West was also the same.
Along with the resurrection of the devil, Xian annihilated the devil.
Conrad, of course, did not know the strength of the devil.
Not only Conrad, but everyone on the continent would be like that.
It is known that the devil was annihilated by the Arnaises a thousand years ago.
But I knew, at least indirectly, how terrible the devil was.
along with stories from mythology.
It’s because I’ve encountered demons called the remnants of demons.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just by looking at it, you could tell how terrible the devil was.
But did Xian annihilate such a demon?
What Alex and the Royal Knights couldn’t handle?
To be honest, Conrad couldn’t believe it.
I can’t believe Alex, the captain of the Royal Knights, gave a false report.
Even so, I ran like this in a month to confirm the fact myself.
“majesty. In fact, there is one thing I haven’t told you.”
Xian told Conrad another story.
none other than the last day.
The decisive battle against Nurbia in Leuven.
Conrad calmly listened to Xian’s words.
after hearing all the stories.
“How can that happen…!”
Conrad exclaimed in amazement.
Eventually, Conrad was silent for a while.
It seemed like there was quite a bit of shock.
Xian waited quietly for such a Conrad.
How much time had passed like that?
“Perhaps… if it hadn’t been for this incident, I wouldn’t have believed you. No, actually, I still can’t believe it.”
Fully understood.
Because it was such an unbelievable story.
“Is that why the saintess said that too…”
“yes? What did Arya say to Your Highness?”
“It’s nothing. You said you were looking for the legacy of Charlotte the Great to find the devil. At first, I wanted to say something, but…”
Arya was looking for a demon?
“Anyway, this doesn’t seem like something to do right here. I think we should go back to the imperial palace and discuss it with His Majesty.”
Xian nodded.
As Conrad said, it was not a matter of what to do right now.
It wasn’t even a simple matter to think about.
The question is whether the emperor will believe this.
Of course, I would believe Conrad’s words.
However, it would be different from seeing it in person.
Right now, even Conrad didn’t seem to believe 100%.
but what
That’s only Conrad’s territory.
It was not something Xian could be involved in.
Anyway, that’s about the end of the story.
Right then.
“So that’s what I mean. Do you really have no idea?”
Suddenly, Conrad asked out of nowhere.
“What are you talking about?”
When Sian asked, Conrad changed his expression and said.
“My sister.”
There is only one person that Conrad can call his sister.
Elena von Charlotte.
It was none other than the princess.
“If you want, I’m thinking of discussing this matter with His Majesty and making a suggestive suggestion… How about it. Do you really have no idea?”
“Are you proposing? So what are you talking about?”
“It’s a marriage.”
Conrad made a subtle expression.
It was Conrad who brought up a similar story at the last imperial palace.
The atmosphere now is quite different from then.
At that time, if interest and interest were the main thing.
Now it could be called ‘Desire’.
“You are joking too much.”
“To be honest, the last time was a joke. But not anymore. I’m more serious now than ever. Come to think of it, aren’t you and your sister’s ages similar?”
Conrad looked like he would go ahead if Xian said anything.
That’s why Xian was really absurd.
‘No, what…’
What kind of confusion do you mean?
Above all, even if the subject of marriage was difficult for the princess, it was not usually difficult.
At least the prince of a foreign country.
Wouldn’t it be better if it was Panat or Kai, who are called the stars of the empire?
Xi’an was not the kind of person who would have a wedding with the princess at all.
But what the hell did Conrad see in Xian and do that?
Xian couldn’t understand at all.
Then all of a sudden
Xian felt a strange sense of deja vu in this situation.
none other than a thousand years ago.
Arnaise Charlotte and her sister Leah.
and Kyle.
Sian looked at Conrad quietly.
Conrad was such a descendant of Charlotte.
Elena is Conrad’s younger sister.
And Sian is Kyle’s successor.
······ Come to think of it, the situation is pretty similar, isn’t it?
‘Couldn’t it be that it was Charlotte who spoke first, not Leah?’
Of course, Xian had no way of knowing the circumstances of a thousand years ago.
But something…
It seemed quite possible.
That’s what Leah says.
Because Kyle said he was missing something.
So Charlotte could have spoken first to catch Kyle like that.
Of course Kyle was engaged to Leia.
It must not have been very heartless.
Although he had to leave abruptly because of some truth, he would not have been heartless.
But Xian had no idea.
“Thank you for the suggestion. I have no thoughts of marriage yet, Your Highness.”
“Hmm… my sister doesn’t look like someone who’s going to be bullied anywhere.”
Well, I guess.
Of course, Xian had never seen Elena.
However, just looking at Conrad right now, I could fully predict what Elena would be like.
But it wasn’t a matter of looks.
Because Xian really had no thoughts about marriage.
I don’t know if you know Xian’s thoughts.
“Please sleep. Did I have feelings for Brahe’s daughter from before? Um… Anyway, it’s a bit disappointing for my sister to become a concubine…”
Conrad was muttering a strange delusion.
#
All the nobility of the west have been captured!
What Conrad did struck all over the West.
The Crown Prince personally stepped forward to investigate the case.
Soon, the relevant facts were uncovered.
The Western princes hid the situation in the West in case their ugliness was exposed.
I reduced the situation in the west and reported it to the imperial palace.
He even caught messengers leading to the imperial family and silenced them.
This angered Conrad considerably.
Therefore, Count Elitz and other princes were sentenced to death by asking for a crime equivalent to treason.
In addition, Conrad demanded a huge fine for each noble who failed his duty.
Everything he had had to be taken away to pay off the debt.
So the Western princes fell in an instant.
It is safe to say that the other nobles were virtually ruined.
It was an instant for the loser of the West to disappear like that.
And a new name emerging in between.
The hero of the west, Xian.
and his estate, Ruben.
While the names of Xian and Ruben are all over the West.
“Ahhh···!!!”
Xian was trembling with uncontrollable joy.
That would also be the slip in my hand right now.
Because he had a slip worth 7 million gold in his hand!
Because there was a slip of 7 million gold stamped with the seal of the imperial family!
“aaa!!!”
Xian couldn’t stay sane for a while.
Right after such a long time has passed.
“This time, I will definitely get the inspection reward!”
Xian took out his smart phone with twinkling eyes.
