117 I’m crying
As the days got colder and colder, heating magic tools began to operate here and there in the imperial palace.
It is said that it was difficult to cover all of them with magic tools alone until Rudy was discovered.
So, magic tools were placed in places for show off, and fireplaces were mainly used in places that were not.
It is an imperial palace of an affluent empire, but in terms of management, it is essential to somehow tighten the belt and use money and objects efficiently.
It’s because the cost that goes into splendid and huge is also an astronomical number.
Even a small fixture is of the highest quality, so it is a considerable amount, but if you collect all the trivial things, it becomes a truly enormous amount.
But things changed when Rudy arrived.
The people of the world would be surprised to know what the most important thing the Emperor of the Empire does.
The emperor supplies mana to the magic stone whenever he has a chance.
In the imperial palace, there are magicians who supply magical power to the magic stones.
There were slaves with magical powers, and there were also children from aristocratic families.
However, it was difficult to fill the small magic stones used in daily life with them alone.
The emperor supplied magical power to important magic tools, such as large magic stones that were out of their power or weapons of magicians.
Even after doing that, if he had time to spare, he would dabble in magic stones that would be used throughout the imperial palace.
Perhaps the magic power used in the magic tools that light up the hallway is the emperor’s.
When I first found out about it, I was surprised.
The Emperor’s work is much simpler than I thought. The Emperor seen from the outside was so different from what he actually saw from the inside.
But you get used to everything in this world. After doing it a few times, I didn’t even think about it. I just put magic into it normally, put magic into the magic stone again, and then I suddenly thought about it.
Rudy’s mana is more than normal mana possession. Instead of putting them in one by one, wouldn’t it be okay to put them in one box at a time?
At first, everyone expressed disapproval. Doing so will waste your mana. Even though it’s a small part, it’s too wasteful to have magic sprayed on boxes and empty spaces.
But after Rudy did that a few times, nothing more came out. It was because both the servants and officials realized that Rudi was completely different from the magical powers he possessed until now.
now?
It became cumbersome to pour mana one by one, and since everyone knew the existence of demon creatures, the work was done by demon creatures.
“Now, time to work.”
As Rudy said, the light exploded and the demonic creatures gathered.
Mice are the most They are probably the most agile and diligent, so they make a lot. In addition, it is said that the fingertips are sharper than other children, and they did well no matter what they were ordered to do. Rats seem to have a good brain. Or maybe it’s the characteristics of mice, which are demonic creatures.
As the demonic creatures gathered around Rudy, the office was instantly filled with glowing creatures.
As he poured magic power, the light of the demon creature became stronger.
The space was covered by demonic creatures, and it seemed as if a curtain of light was drawn between the people in the office and herself. It’s as if Aurora is hovering in the office.
Magical energy moved from Rudy’s body and was transmitted to each end of the creature’s hair.
The demonic creatures whose bodies have been filled with magical power to the limit trembled as if they were happy.
Shining light flowed from their bodies like dandelion spore and spread in all directions. The light disappeared as if it melted like the first snow before reaching the ground.
“It’s always beautiful to look at.”
The officer’s muttering was heard through the light of the demon creature.
Rudy thought so too.
However, it will be a little different from what the secretary feels.
It doesn’t just look pretty. The ecstasy felt was greater than the beauty seen.
The magical power of these children is definitely her own, and being surrounded by them made her feel indescribably cozy.
It wasn’t like this at first. But little by little, that feeling has grown stronger, and now, whenever I am surrounded by them, I feel like I am back in my hometown. It was like magic.
“I’m asking you again today.”
When Rudy said, the demonic creatures turned around in place as if they knew.
and move right away.
Those with wings flapped their wings, and the children who moved on their legs quickly kicked off the floor and jumped out.
In an instant, the light disappeared and the office returned to a dull, ordinary space. Except for one place.
Rudy’s gaze turned to the floor.
The gazes of other people in the office are also directed toward the floor.
Waddling, waddling, there were ten demonic creatures eagerly running through the spacious room of the office where all the colleagues had left.
it’s a penguin
The slowest and somewhat useless thing I’ve ever made is probably the penguin.
Even if they have wings, they cannot fly, and even if they have legs, they are too short. Running is not running.
Compared to other magical creatures, penguins are truly slugs.
These kids were walking down the hallway a minute ago, but when I look back, they are still waddling down the hallway.
When the gunshot rang out to start, it was just like starting while all the other kids ran around and came back.
The penguins flapped their little wings and made their round eyes even bigger and jumped.
still eager As much as enthusiasm and effort, it must be the first place. That’s why you can’t say that you don’t need to supply magical power.
Rudy smiled bitterly and spoke to the penguins who still couldn’t leave the office.
“Good work today”
Ten wings all at once flew up into the air as if making a pop.

I couldn’t hear it, but the voices of the penguins seemed to resonate throughout the room.
The officials laughed and talked to the penguins.
“Good job!”
“It’s okay, even if your legs are short, you guys can do it.”
“Because I’m rooting for you!”
Listening to the encouragement of the officials in the office, the penguins waddled hard and ran outside.
The chamberlain glanced at the penguin and smiled, bowing his head to Rudy.
“Your Majesty, requests for an audience are gradually coming in from the Empress. I’m still rejecting all of them, but it might be a good idea to join the tea party requests from women soon.”
“The empress is still nine years old. Isn’t she too young?”
“Of course it is, but unlike the other princesses, Empress Mama doesn’t have much experience as an imperial woman. Even so, as an empress, she can’t go to a place where children participate, so there’s almost no place to gain real experience.”
The chamberlain smiled and said.
“Why don’t you take a little part in a small tea party held by a friendly family? With the baroness, it’ll be fine.”
Rudy thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Your husband was Baron Seren, right? What kind of person is he?”
“He has excellent business skills. He is also good at manor management, but he has a temperament closer to that of a merchant. So, he is not very well received by traditional nobles.”
But that doesn’t mean Baron Seren is a new aristocrat. It is said that Baron Seren has been ruled by their family for a long time.
However, the current head of the family rose rapidly as he invested in several businesses.
It is said that it is an investment, but in reality it is a business owned by the baron. Apparently, it didn’t look good for aristocrats to engage in direct commerce like merchants, so it was just a formality of investment.
Baron Seren succeeds in every business he invests in, earning profits several times the size of his current estate every year.
“Among the nobles, there are quite a few places with financial difficulties. The baroness’s original family, the duke’s family, is also a prestigious family with imperial blood, but it is a family that has become somewhat impoverished. That’s why we got married in exchange for financial support from Baron Seren .”
The chamberlain said, “Ah,” and said that the chair of truth made earlier also belonged to the artisan shop that Baron Seren was paying for.
Magic tools are the business of the Corea dynasty, but not all magic tools are made by the family of the Corea dynasty.
Even if magic tools are called by people from the Corea Dynasty family, there are many cases where each family has its own artisan or shop that deals with magic tools.
Baron Seren sponsored such artisans and shops, but also had several shops that purchased their goods and supplied them to each family.
“How are his children?”
“I know of two, but they are all smart. One is in court. He works as an official in the Treasury.”
“Does Baron Seren have a boat?”
“I know he acquired a ship from the fleet a decade or so ago. He didn’t have much fun with it. That was probably his only failure. But he’s sure to break through.”
Rudy nodded and opened his mouth.
“If the chief chamberlain speaks like that, he must be a competent person. Since the baroness is put in as the empress’ tutor or maid, there should be no problem with loyalty or other matters. Make an appointment with Baron Seren.”
As Baron Seren’s status rises, the baroness’s right to speak among noble wives also increases.
It would be different depending on what kind of person Baron Seren was, but it might be okay for the imperial family to invest through Baron Seren.
If we go further, there may be a way to buy goods from across the sea that are currently being imported at a low price through him.
Although the Empire is a powerful country, it was not very strong at sea.
Sea trade is difficult with individual strength alone. The sea was a different battlefield from the land. If there is no support from the state, all the hard-earned goods will be taken away by pirates from other countries.
Because of that, the current trade across the sea was slightly behind compared to other countries.
It’s not easy to make up for it. It wasn’t because there was only a ship, nor was it successful because there were merchants or pirates who listened to the empire’s orders.
I want someone who has the potential to succeed in that way.
Recognizing such a hint from Rudi’s words, the chief chamberlain lowered his head.
“All right.”
Suddenly, the chief chamberlain lowered his eyes and smiled.
“why?”
“His Majesty’s appearance is dazzling…”
The chamberlain slightly raised the corners of his lips and gave a small smile.
“At first, he showed signs of being a bit shy or reluctant, but lately he has become really splendid. It feels like he was born as an emperor from the beginning.”
It’s an exaggeration.
Rudy lowered his head, hiding his embarrassment in an expressionless expression.
It was the moment when I was about to pick up the papers on the desk and examine them.
Suddenly, with a feeling of twinkling, a female phoenix appeared with white light.
The wings of the phoenix, which always moved gracefully, shook the air with a sense of impatience.
I got goosebumps from the tingling sensation.
Lilitha!
Rudy jumped up from his seat.
Sensing an unusual atmosphere, the chamberlain asks.
“Why are you doing that, Your Majesty?”
“Something happened to Rilisha.”
He threw a short word and ran out of the office. My mind was impatient. I don’t know what’s going on. But he knew that something was up with her.
Ignoring the startled stares, Rudy quickly ran down the hallway.
A short flute sounded from somewhere. It is the communication network that attendants use when they are in a hurry.
When Rudy left the building and stepped outside, an attendant was already waiting with a horse.
As soon as he got on the horse’s back, the phoenix led the way.
But even without her directions, I knew where it was.
This is the building where Lilitha practices horseback riding.
He didn’t say anything, but the phoenix was telling him that.
“Ha!”
As he rode his horse briskly, several attendants and Boris followed right behind him, appearing from nowhere.
The wind brushes your cheeks.
Obviously the horse was running like an arrow, but it felt slow.
When I finally saw the building, I became more impatient.
Some demonic creatures came out of the building and ran towards Rudy, probably noticing Rudy’s approach.
Unlike the phoenix, they are things that have not yet been communicated smoothly.
It felt like those demonic creatures were talking while scattering light. It’s not a bad look. It was a voice that seemed to be asking for praise. However, the meaning conveyed there was not so good.
[Killed…killed…killed…killed…crying…]
