69 – Kingdom short selling method 5

“what? Is that… is that real?”

“Yes, yes, Your Majesty the King!”

The news of the unexpected visitor, and the face of King Mohichi began to turn bright for the first time in a while.

“I can’t believe it. Does that mean he really visited this place? Bahamut of the upper ranks of Beden?”

“It is true, Your Majesty! They say they are waiting to see Your Majesty in front of Daejeon.”

“Come on, come on! Greet them with the courtesy of a duke.”

“I see, Your Majesty!”

The chief chamberlain urgently goes to deliver the news at the king’s words.

Watching that scene, King Mohichi began to taste the feeling that the hope that seemed to be extinguished was revived a little.

The Continental Colossus, Bahamut Fernandez, and the top of Beden.

Their great reputation was already well known to the king.

A series of events that occurred in relation to the Eastern trade at Bennett.

Rumors about this had already spread across the continent, and above all, the declaration of war by the Rose Emperor, which could be said to be the beginning of this incident, also began there.

As such, the fact that he, one of the people who can affect the current situation of the continent, came to find himself, not the rose emperor, was obviously a big boon for King Mohichi.

“Bahamut Fernandez, the owner of the Beden Merchant, is meeting King Mohic I of Hungary.”

Bahamut and his companions respectfully bow to him sitting on the throne

Accordingly, King Mohichi welcomed them with sincere joy.

“Come on, Prince Bahamut, I’ve heard about you well, so I’m well aware of it.”

“It is truly a great honor to know that Your Majesty knows a small man who is only a merchant.”

Bahamut lowered his head and showed a humble appearance.

Looking at him like that, the king nodded his head with a satisfied expression and then spoke with a little expectation.

“I am really grateful that you came all the way, but now I want to hear what the owner of the Beden Merchant Merchant has come to here. Tell me about your visit to me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Originally, there would have been a small mass phrase and introduction, but the current king could not afford to do so.

Standing at the crossroads of whether or not to form an alliance with the Sakiels, the situation is still exposed to the risk of breaking the peace agreement.

For him, the magnate called Bahamut, who visited such a difficult time, was being accepted as if it were the last rope that came down from the sky.

And. Seeing the king’s expected reaction, Bahamut began to open his mouth in a calm voice.

“First of all, please pass on the people around you, Your Majesty.”

*

“what? Bahamut Fernandez?”

“Yes that’s right. It is said that he just returned from an audience with the king.”

Unexpected news.

A look of uneasiness began to appear on the man’s face.

“That is not a good story. Bahamutra… The man who made a huge amount of money through the Eastern trade the other day is intervening in this matter. So, what was the story going on in Daejeon?”

“That’s… I’m sorry. Before the full-scale story begins, the man called Bahamut bites everyone around him… ”

“Um… After all, is this a man with no gaps?”

While feeling so regretful, the man immediately took action, deciding that he had to hurry things up more than he had originally expected.

I don’t know if it’s an ordinary person. If that Bahamut intervened in some way in this situation, there was a possibility that all the game plans that had been designed so far could be reversed.

“Plan ahead. I will write a letter right away, so please deliver it.”

“All right.”

With those words, the person who hurriedly lifts a fan in the dark, relying on a faint light.

The fair hand reflected between the candles began to write a terrifying story quickly.

*

After the King’s audience, Bahamut arrived at the royal castle’s private room with Ophelia.

Although the overall state of the country was not good, nonetheless, as the royal castle of the Kingdom of Hungary, which has existed for hundreds of years, the interior was not so splendid.

“Huh… Anyway, with this, I’m relieved.”

“You worked hard, Master.”

The interview with the king went as Bahamut had hoped, and he succeeded in getting the result he wanted.

The first hurdle in carrying out this work was Sam, who managed to pass it without any problems.

However, there were still scattered problems to be solved, and a tightrope walking was also left.

‘Still, since Ophelia is there, there won’t be any big problems… but you must never be careless.’

To compare what Bahamut is doing now, it’s like trying to put implants on a toothless lion that was being toyed with by hyenas.

Funds and efforts were required, and furthermore, those who corresponded to hyenas were likely to rebel against Bahamut’s actions and try to sabotage them somehow.

‘If you think about it, these things are really stupid. In front of my eyes, a dragon is coiled and licking my lips, but rather than joining forces, I can’t seem to catch and eat each other…’

Looking at it objectively, even though it was a situation where I was very weak. Nevertheless, Hungary’s national power was not weakened irreversibly.

As a traditional powerhouse that has reigned in this area for hundreds of years, it had enough power to not be swayed by the surrounding situation, including Sakiel, if there were adequate support and restoration of national power.

‘In the original work, it was the part that came out of the main character, Isaac, but… Now that Isaac is not known for being notorious, and now that he can’t see his nose, I’ll have no choice but to help him. In the process, make sure to spread a lot of connections here and there..’

With anticipation for the dangerous yet interesting situation ahead, Bahamut stood next to him and looked at Ophelia, who was silently standing guard.

Instead of the black sword he originally used, Ophelia wore the greatsword of Carl that he had gifted to him on his back.

From Bahamut’s point of view, it couldn’t have been more reassuring than this.

“Come to think of it. Are you getting used to that sword now?”

“Ah.. Yes, to be honest, I’ve never used a greatsword, so it was a bit awkward at first, but it seems to fit surprisingly well. Now I can handle it without any major problems.”

“Good. I’ve said it before, but you’ll probably have some work to do while dealing with this one. Then I’ll ask you a favor.”

“Yes. I’ll do my best. master.”

Ophelia looked a little happy at Bahamut’s words.

At that time, Bahamut suddenly felt a slight doubt and asked her.

“yes? Come to think of it… where did Isolda and the little secretary go?”

“If it were those people, after receiving the king earlier, they went out to see something for a while, right?”

“yes?…”

Suddenly, thinking that Isolda had been depressed ever since the incident the other day, Bahamut began to pay attention to her.

‘what… I’ll be back in a little while though. Also, I need to see an opportunity to appease her a little bit.’

Feeling sorry for the fact that he had done something a little bad because of such personal circumstances, Bahamut decided to quietly wait for Isolda to return.

*

Another private room located within the royal castle.

There, Isolda was led by Yuria’s hand and left alone.

“It’s a big deal. You called me out like this.”

“Um… ”

Yuria made a pouty expression at Lee Solda’s words.

Regarding this, Isolda felt suspicious and asked her.

“Why? Is there any problem?”

“Yes, I have a very big problem.”

With those words, Yuria stretched out her finger toward Isolda.

For a moment, Yuria spoke in a clear voice to Isolda, who thought her behavior was a little cute.

“Miss Isolda! Do you like Bahamut-sama?”

“! radish… what… ”

Lee Sol-da loses her composure for a moment at an unexpected story that pops out of nowhere.

Looking at her like that, YuRia continued talking.

“Don’t even think about hiding it! Even if it looks like this, I have my eyes. I don’t know about others, but I see it clearly in my eyes, who are always by Lee Solda’s side! The fact that Leesolda-nim likes Bahamut-nim! And that it hasn’t been going well lately, so I’ve been depressed a lot!”

“That… that’s… ”

At YuRia’s words, Isolda let out a small sigh, recognizing that there was no point in making excuses here.

“Sigh… yes, you are right All.”

“Also. It was.”

Yuria seems to have a somewhat triumphant expression at Lee Solda’s words.

In response, Isolda asked her with a slightly tired expression.

“So, what is it like? Are you going to make fun of me? About the fact that a bad girl like me likes someone.”

“No, of course not. I just want to keep my promise.”

“… Appointment?”

“Yes! Didn’t Lee Solda ask for it the other day? Please help Ms. Lee Solda when you are in trouble.”

“Yeah, but it was. This job is a little different from that… ”

“There is nothing different. It comes up a lot in old stories, right? It’s like women who fall because they can’t achieve love! If I leave it alone, there is no guarantee that Isolda-nim won’t change like that!”

“Um… ”

Lee Solda could no longer reply to some of the stories that suddenly popped into her head, and YuRia, seeing her like that, said with a confident voice.

“So don’t worry. No matter what, I will help Bahamut and Isolda get closer again.”

“what… What are you planning to do?”

“Huh, that’s right…”

YuRia then told Lee Solda what she had planned, and after hearing this, Lee Solda’s face began to show complex expressions in many ways.

‘It’s work, but… Our Yuria… might be a scarier child than I thought..’
