Chapter 58 – Royalty – 5
A few days after Bahun’s royalty, Amelia Bahnia began to entertain as her guest. Been incredibly busy in the meantime.
I fell into a harsh situation in the name of a deputy head of household, and I fell into a situation where I had to work without resting from the time I woke up in the morning until I went back to sleep.
“… That bird in the sky is beautiful. The day will come when I can fly freely like that bird. Bird, bird Blue bird.”
“Indulge in strange sentiments when you have time. Here are the additional documents.”
“Isn’t that too much? I am the deputy governor, the deputy governor. Scold?”
“So?”
Looking at Chloe’s cold glare, he eventually slammed her face into her desk.
My closest aide, Chloe, an escort driver, has increased her duties just as much as mine. The authority itself did not deviate from my work assistant, but the reason was that my work increased. My work has increased, so Chloe’s work has also increased.
“Is that strange? You must have had a happy night. From the next day until now, overtime, overtime, overtime, overtime… Is this the allowance coming in?”
“Kuh, kuh hmm.”
“Where did the daily life that makes you happy go, and the life that was hit by work appeared?”
“Did I know it would turn out like this…”
“…”
I finally averted my gaze at Chloe’s fierce gaze, which turned so fast that I could hear my muttering and the sound of the wind. Chloe was just sorry. Because the only one who can help me right now is Chloe…
Of course, there are many vassals and subordinates who help with work, but in the end, it was said that there were not enough kids to be close enough to trust. Should I still scout people? Oh, no, no.
If you are in charge of people, you have to work that much.
Zeke left the castle to eradicate the red blood. Maybe now he’ll meet Isabelle and Beatrice and start working together. Adventurers and the head of the group that manages the back alleys are helping, so it’s worth it? Well, it can’t be easy to find the one hiding.
Anyway, that’s not the problem right now.
The red blood issue isn’t going to end in a short period of time, and my job is to make the foundation. It will start in earnest when my father or older brother returns.
There was an important reason why I worked so hard in the first place. That’s right…
-Smart!
“…”
For a moment, Chloe’s eyes met.
I nod and Chloe heads for the door.
Familiar presence and magic.
It was Lena.
“What happened?”
“Her Highness Princess Bahnia wants to see the acting head of the family Franz.”
“Is it again?”
Chloe’s eyebrows twitched at Lena’s words.
Chloe, who had never seen Princess Amelia Bachnia herself, had no feelings at first.
It’s not just that I don’t understand. As Chloe had said, the princess had visited many times.
“How many times is it already? I know who is busy with this…”
“Chloe. No more.”
“… Sorry.”
Chloe bowed her head in my jersey.
Well, it’s not like Chloe said, but the princess keeps arranging meetings with me, as if seeing her face at least once a day will loosen her aptitude.
However, the meeting itself is not useless at all. It’s not bad as a means to dig up or share information while chatting with each other.
It’s just that work is so busy that it’s hard to make time for it.
“Are you done with the extra work?”
“Yeah. An important task has been completed. But as you know…”
“Okay, then.”
Chloe stopped talking and looked at Lena.
“Get ready. Filled?”
“I will prepare.”
“Oh yeah. And…”
He gestured for Chloe to leave.
It’s a bit sensitive.
Immediately after seeing Chloe withdrawing while lowering her head, she looked at Lena after blocking the surroundings with magical power.
“How are you today?”
“That is…”
In fact, it could be said that it was rude for a position like Lena to interfere in a relationship between nobles. That’s why Lena seems to be hesitating. But that time was short-lived. She whispered in my ear right away, as if Lena thought it was something she needed to convey.
“Anyway, Her Highness…”

When it comes to specialties from the Daesangmaek, the Daesangmaek is so large that there is a big difference depending on the place. Of course, each region has the same or different specialties, but that was not as easy as it sounds.
There are various reasons, but even if the great mountain range is included in his territory in the first place, there is no lord who builds a village or city near it.
This is because the monsters of the Great Mountains easily recognize that there are people nearby. As a result, it is not easy even for aristocrats to deal with the monsters that come down and attack so often, and since the damage is not done once or twice, they eventually give up the land when it comes to profit.
Except for the slashed-out people, fugitives, and outcasts living there, Franz is the only one who builds and manages the city nearby.
So, aside from the difficulty of obtaining it, Franz is the place where most people come to find special products.
In other words, showing guests the specialties of the Great Mountains is one of the good entertainment.
“This is a hemp that often appears in the Great Mountains.”
“Great. Mountain ginseng of Daesanmaek… It is the first time I have seen something of this size.”
Similar to wild ginseng seen on Earth… It is really wild ginseng. To be honest, I’m not old enough to take care of such things, and if something like bellflower is shaped like a person, it’s called wild ginseng or ginseng, right?
Anyway, such a thing actually exists in this world, and the effect is so good that I actually admit that I, who have only eaten Samgyetang in real life, have eaten it.
“Pure magic attribute. Pure.”
“Well, it’s hard to keep.”
Wild ginseng processed from magic stones to prevent contamination from surrounding magical powers and placed in a transparent container. Yes. The bottle we know. That’s it. It’s the same in any world. Anyway, Princess Amelia looks at the barrel of wild ginseng that has been managed in this way, her eyes twinkling. Can’t you feel the status of this precious thing when you see that you are still interested in such a precious thing even at a young age? From size to quality. This is a tribute to real royalty.
Even my father regrets not having a drink on the day my mother visits.
“That, however.”
“Well?”
Princess Amelia hesitates for a moment and looks at me.
“Can I accept something so precious… ?”
A quality item that is useful for diplomacy. It is not a matter of demand, including money, but something that cannot be obtained due to a lack of supply.
It is said that giving this as a gift covers the corresponding cost or debt. In other words, it is not just about receiving.
“Fine. It’s precious, but it’s not impossible to find because of the nature of the land… This is an item I received for my birthday, so it belongs entirely to me, so I can decide how to use it.”
“Mmm.”
It’s a burden, but it doesn’t seem like you want to give up. In the current situation of being kidnapped, wouldn’t it be less likely to hear curses if you take these things with you? What will her current situation be like?
I don’t know about Baheun’s political problems. I know the basics, and it’s not that I don’t know the nature of being in a neighboring country, but my father must know the details.
First of all, I’m getting some information by ordering a subordinate who will listen to my orders…
“If it helps Her Highness the princess, it will be enough to pay for the goods.”
“… I will not forget this grace. Leoric Franz.”
In the end, she seemed to have decided to keep her eyes closed and took the container of wild ginseng. It’s good that I have connections in her foreign country, and she’s content to get one of the means to make up for her situation.
It’s a win-win To be honest, it didn’t taste very good, so it wasn’t my taste.
“The land of Franz is really rich.”
“Strictly speaking, the other lands are similar.”
As I said, if you want to be able to get something from the Great Mountains, anyone can.
Yet not doing that.
“Is it that severe? Below the Great Mountains…”
“Um, don’t you know?”
Barheun Kingdom in the western region must have a great mountain range too.
“It is a deserted land. Most of the people below the Great Mountains are slashers or outcasts.”
“Well, I guess.”
There is only one reason not to do it.
This is because the losses are greater than the gains.
As you get closer, you have to maintain the city against the monsters that attack you every day, and you have to maintain security enough for merchants and people to visit. That was easier said than done.
“The theater I saw before was also great. That… Did you say Hollywood?”
“Hmm. That’s it. It’s called Bollywood.”
One of the modern lore cheats… Even if you say that, if you say it in moderation, the lower person will make it well on their own.
Literature also existed in this world, and there was no theater.
However, it was difficult for the common people to access it, and it was not easy to distribute it to other lands, so proper consumption did not occur.
It is the way of any country on Earth that made it easier to consume literary genres, including entertainment for common people.
Aristocrats and those close to them might not know about complex content or tragedy, but if it is difficult for commoners to approach, dance will solve it.
That’s Bollywood!
“It’s amazing that you’re good at art…”
He smiled wryly at Princess Amelia’s admiring look. I felt it every time I used the modern knowledge cheat, but it’s a bit embarrassing for people around me to admire it because I couldn’t induce it or just think of it. Because the skin on his face isn’t that thick. Still, not writing what I know is stupid, so I should write what I can write.
It’s hard to understand, but I remembered what Lena said a while ago as I gave her a suitable match for Princess Amelia, who was speaking in a slightly excited tone. She is a girl with an expressionless face who doesn’t show her emotions outwardly. She has that much power as a royal family, but anyway, her age was a girl who was not yet an adult in this world or in modern times. Such a girl suddenly opened her eyes to a foreign land. It was also brought by force after being knocked out by an unknown person.
– It seems that he is uneasy when Leoric is not by his side.
Write.
I look after him because he is a kid with a promising future.
