102 – That girl’s sweet trading method 1

“Ahahahahaha!”

“… Don’t laugh.. I really didn’t know it would end like this.”

She is laughing cheerfully in front of him.

Looking at Mina Roseveta, the emperor of the Dragona Empire and his mother, the Dragona Emperor, Elios was showing a puzzled expression with his face slightly flushed.

No way, it was because she never imagined that the plan that she had been preparing with all her heart and soul for years would end in such a futile way.

“Ahahahaha! Ha.. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Stop it because things are going so much fun. I didn’t know that Hungary, which had been steadily weakening for a while, would revive again like this. Whoops! And using the plan you made as a stepping stone, no one else?”

“Um… ”

Sakiel’s intervention and Princess Leila’s scheming.

Regarding this, Emperor Roseveta judged that it would be beneficial even if only one side could collapse, Sachiel, who carried out the slave trade without fear, and Hungary, which was the original enemy.

However, as the emperor expected to some extent, it was good until the Sakiels lost their power and stopped the slave trade. What happened after that ended up with really unexpected results.

As a result of this war, the Hungarian kingdom, which had been divided in national opinion, was united again, and the Black Legion was also revived.

This meant that the series of plans that Elios had been carrying out through Princess Leila were completely in vain, and Sakiel, whose power had weakened, was the man…

As he went under Bahamut, Elios’ influence on Sakiel was also completely destroyed.

In other words, as a result, Hungary and Bahamut benefited, and Elios suffered a loss of blowing all the cards he had prepared.

However, the emperor was not particularly angry about this, rather, he was simply enjoying the exciting current situation.

At least the goal she wanted was achieved, and the damage that occurred was not a particularly painful loss from the emperor’s point of view.

Although her influence on other factions was slightly reduced, it was most important to her that she managed to sort things out without spilling the blood of her allies.

No need to be impatient… no need to waste my emotions.

She knew all too well that time was on their side anyway.

“Anyway, with this I have once again confirmed the true nature of that man called Bahamut. It’s something I’ve always felt at Benet, but he’s a talented person that I covet.”

“Certainly, he is a very precious person to be taken away by Hungary. What should I do? If my mother wants it, I might try my hand at it, but…”

Along with those words, Elios showed a meaningful expression on his face.

Seeing her like this, the emperor smiled contemptuously as he read her intentions.

“Hmm… It’s definitely a story that appeals to the taste buds. But there’s no need to rush. After all, the other person is a merchant, a person who moves by weighing profits, so if you arrange the right time and place, he will act on his own.”

“… I see what you mean. Then, we will take a step-by-step look at the time and prepare.”

“Okay, where are you doing well?”

As usual, Emperor Rosebeta spoke with a voice overflowing with composure.

Seeing that, Elios smiled slightly as he read the meaning of her words.

‘I’ll give you a chance first, this is it.. no. Try this if you can.. that’s what you mean? Either way, it doesn’t matter much.’

“Sigh… ”

In the depths of the luxurious royal castle, there, a boy sighed softly.

Heir to the Hungarian royal family and a man who is expected to succeed the next Bowie. Robert was slowly turning the pages with a bored expression on his face.

“..what is it, prince? Your complexion doesn’t look good lately.”

“No..just a little..”

Robert hesitates at the servant’s question.

The servant started to worry inwardly when he saw the prince who had always looked like that since the previous war with the Sakiels, and the same was true of King Mohichi, who was hearing reports about this.

“Yeah…you mean you’re still depressed?”

“Your Majesty. It seems that the aftermath of losing the princess is quite large…”

“Uhm.. I’m sure he would too, but…”

Due to the previous war, Princess Leila was no longer a person of this world. It was not a simple assassination, but a situation in which he was killed because he failed to eat the country.

As such, the King and several others who knew this fact were reluctant to mention Princess Leila as much as possible.

On the other hand, Prince Robert did not even dream of such a fact and only knew that his sister was killed in the war.

Although there was quite a difference in age for a brother and sister, and it was a little awkward, judging from his depressed appearance since then, the death of his family seemed to come as a fairly big shock to him anyway.

“I can’t. Jim will try to talk to the prince himself.”

“That sounds like a good idea.”

“If Your Majesty steps forward, the Prince will surely cheer up as well.”

A slightly sudden confrontation between the king and the prince.

Personally, as a father and son, there was no big burden. Nevertheless, as it was the first meeting right after losing a family member, a slightly awkward atmosphere began to flow between the two.

“Yeah.. how are you doing these days? In the meantime, this father was busy with work and couldn’t come to see him.”

“Yes, father. As usual, I am working hard on my studies and fulfilling my duties as a prince.”

“Um… ”

A prince who speaks in a somewhat businesslike way.

Seeing him as if he was trying to hide his emotions as much as possible, King Mohichi felt a little hurt and spoke with kindness.

“Okay. You don’t have to do that in front of me either. Even though I have the status of a king and a prince, in private, I am not your father. If you have something in your heart, you can talk about it without hesitation.”

“Um… .”

Prince Robert begins to pay attention to the king’s words.

Seeing this, the King, as he expected, recognized the fact that there was something big discomfort in his son’s heart, and said with a fatherly smile on his lips.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s uncomfortable to talk about. Like I said, it’s not a private place. No matter what you say, I will accept it as a father, so just say it.”

“I… if it’s true… Abamama… Soja has one request…”

The son who carefully tries to bring up the story at the words of ‘Father’.

Seeing this, the king naturally assumed that the story of Princess Leila would come out of his mouth.

And..

“Um… ”

The king came out after the meeting with the prince.

However, it was nice to be able to talk openly with my son. That gave the king one more trouble.

‘I never thought our prince would ask such a favor..’

Prince Robert says that he has overcome his sister’s death to some extent.

However, he then made one earnest request to the king as a son.

It was.. It was a request to get out of this narrow palace and look around the wider world just once.

In particular, the person he cited as an example was Bahamut, a hero who had saved the kingdom of Hungary the other day, and the king was displeased about this, but he could not refuse it.

Normally, of course, he would have stopped it, but it was a request from his son who was trying to soothe the pain of losing his sister, and even more objectively, it was an educational necessity in the sense that it broadened the knowledge of the heir who would lead the kingdom in the future.

‘Ummm… I’ve definitely been raising it too much in the meantime. Things in the world are not something you can learn simply from books. Before I unexpectedly ascended the throne, I had traveled quite a bit…’

Although he did a lot of immature things at the time, those experiences were truly valuable experiences for the current King Mohichi, who had to become a king and guard the throne.

‘But… no matter how much it is, simply attaching an escort is not enough. Personally, I’d like someone who knows the outside world to help me…’

After thinking that far, a person automatically came to mind in the king’s mind.

A person who can be trusted enough and is sure to know the situation in other countries better than anyone else in Hungary.

If it was that person, the king decided that he would surely keep his son safe and at the same time give him a lot of good experiences.
