159 – Big Deal 1

If you ask what the biggest difference is after marriage, it’s probably that you have new things to care about. And there are things that you don’t have to worry about anymore

It will be these two things.

But either way, it was clear that there would be a change in the existing life.

In that respect, Bahamut was going through a hectic adjustment period in many ways.

‘Having a very capable wife… is sometimes a bit tiring.’

Through this marriage, the Beden Merchant Chamber and the Uranos Merchant Company, which had nominally existed until now, were completely united, and the name Uranus was downgraded to the name referring to the Holy Empire branch of the Beden Merchant Merchant.

It was an internal subordinate relationship anyway, so it was true that people who knew the inside story couldn’t feel much of a difference, but at least for Bahamut, who became the subject of integration, there was a significant change.

Previously, it was Bertina who was only involved in matters limited to the Uranus Merchant.

However, now that she has taken on the position of hostess of the Beden Merchant Chamber, she automatically takes care of her business as well.

Began to write.

In other words, along with Isolda, one more person pecked next to him.

“You must have made it clear that you shouldn’t take this side of things lightly, right?”

“It’s as Bertina-sama said. I’ve passed Eoyeongbuyeong so far, but I can’t stand it any longer. They say it doesn’t show it very well, but do you know how much money is being counted here?”

“Sigh..”

Although Bertina had neither the authority nor the thought to touch deeply on the overall policy and flow of the operation of the upper tier and the part related to large-scale transactions. Apparently, he is clearly pointing out the details along with Lee Solda.

As a bonus, all of those parts are habits that Bahamut also thinks needs to be corrected. Regarding this, Bahamut couldn’t refute anything and could only silently accept it.

“Anyway, then I’m going to handle this part like that, so please pay for the rest of the materials.”

Lee Sol-da hurriedly leaves the room with the documents that have been processed.

Watching that scene, Bahamut started to feel like his younger brother, who had been nagging him, had gone outside… but his mother was still by his side.

However, although the points pointed out are almost similar, Bertina had several differences from Isolda.

“..sorry. Uranus is also busy with work, but he made me pay attention to this part as well.”

“Whoa.. but it’s definitely getting better faster than before. I made a lot of mistakes.”

Bertina quietly smiled while watching Bahamut apologize.

Although it was similar to being in a nagging position. In Bertina’s case, she had the temperament to handle situations a little delicately.

Bertina, who is strict when necessary, but at the same time gently comforts and encourages people.

This was especially so because the target was her husband, not someone else.

‘Honestly.. As the owner of the guild, this is a part that Isolda and I can cover. But still, we should help fix the parts that can be fixed. Bahamut… Because my husband is the one who will be the greatest merchant to hold this continent in one hand.’

The emperor of the commercial world who can hold and shake the continent’s economy.

This was originally the highest goal that Bertina tried to achieve with her own hands.

And… Bertina, now the wife of a man, had a desire to make sure that her beloved husband could sit in the highest position.

‘It’s not just about aiming. Thanks to her husband’s actions so far, the foundation has already been perfectly established. All that’s left is how to use it…’

Right now, the seeds of debt have already been sown all over the continent. If you cultivate it well, it is certainly not impossible to achieve your goal.

‘But… there are many things that are lacking simply with our strength. It must be all the more so in that the opponents are all high-nosed monarchs with enormous power. Is there any better way?’

While thinking about that, Bertina’s gaze slipped to her husband in front of her.

The person who is working hard at his job even at this moment.

With that adorable figure in her eyes, Bertina quietly made up her mind once again.

‘Let’s see, you… I’ll definitely put you in the top position with my own hands.’

A carriage running along the road in Schwyz.

Although it was not immediately noticeable, two people were boarding inside it, which was made of a fairly luxurious material.

One was a woman with the appearance of a woman in her late teens who gave off a sense of youthfulness.

She has purple eyes and long, almost waist-length hair that is plucked into two parts.

She was looking out the window with a slightly relieved expression on her face, wearing a rather unusual hairstyle that made her feel like long, straight hair because it was so long and thick for a normal straight hair.

“This is Schwyz.. All I could see was the mountains all the way here, but I think I finally entered a city inhabited by people.”

She is relieved that the rather boring trip is finally over.

Another woman sitting across from her.

The woman with green eyes and a face that looked like she was in her late twenties, but who looked much calmer than the woman with pigtails, spoke in a quiet yet calm voice.

“It was definitely quite long. The number of times Ayla rampaged along the way is beyond counting on my fingers.”

“Ahahahaha… that’s because of the thieves who fearlessly crawl out to rob the wagon.”

“Even so, the genocide without leaving a single person was a bit excessive. I could have just preached enough and sent it back..”

She speaks with sadness.

Regarding this, the woman called Eila spoke in a light voice.

“I’m sorry, but that’s too much. Unlike Elbafa, I am not a doctor who saves people, but a shadow knight who kills people. Furthermore, in a top-secret mission like this, it’s better to keep the number of witnesses as small as possible. Just like the saying goes, the dead don’t talk.”

“Sigh..”

A woman called Elbafar sighed a little at Ayla’s words.

Then, as she watched Ayla looking out the window with interest, she began to feel familiar but a bit regretful.

‘Still, he used to be a pretty nice kid… I should have taken care of him and raised him as a doctor, just as Rosebeta wanted…’

Just as she was thinking about it, the carriage she had been running on finally stopped, and the two immediately prepared to get off.

“Are you done?”

“Yeah, sister, did you take care of things like personal letters and gifts? As you know, in this case, I am always an escort, and my main role is the older sister.”

“Of course, I thoroughly checked everything, and there is nothing wrong. Then we’ll leave right away.”

Elbafa and Ayla come out with a slightly nervous look on their faces.

Before their eyes, they saw a woman with red hair who was welcoming them at the entrance of a huge mansion.

“Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you.”

She bowed her head politely with three or four servants behind her.

Judging by his outfit, he was considered an executive of the Beden Merchant Merchant. In response, the two of them also quietly bowed their heads and entered the mansion without a long word as they were guided by her.

A room located deep inside the mansion.

There, Ayla and Elbafa were watching a man greet them.

“You have worked hard to come this far. My name is Bahamut Fernandez.”

“My name is Elbafa Envy. I am very happy to meet the owner of the Beden Merchant in this way.”

Elbafa speaks in a polite voice.

In response, Bahamut nodded with a gentle smile on his lips, and seeing him like this, Elbafa spoke in a quiet yet slightly powerful voice.

“Then… as we foretold, we will deliver His Majesty’s edict regarding the transaction. Please take it.”

With those words, Elbafa handed over the letter sealed with a seal in front of Bahamut.

In response, Bahamut carefully received it and carefully checked the contents.

And..
