Smith's room after dinner.
"That's why."
Smith was explaining the Elvis order.
"Hmm... that's a bit much.
No, of course, the total amount of money the store handles per year is small.
What do you think, Donnelly?
Let's not teach you a bit of a normal inquiry, shall we? "
"If you buy 50,000 kg of wheat at at once as explained... the price of grain in King's Landing is likely to fluctuate a little.
But, well, the delivery time doesn't seem to be short... and it might not fluctuate that much. "
Amy and Donnelly are thinking.
Gina was in a little trouble.
After dinner, Amy and the others were invited to discuss what Smith said.
And Amy was going to listen and think seriously.
Gina was beginning to think about how to take her to the royal castle from here.
"Last time I sold rye to the royal castle... this time it was a different order of magnitude.
If you buy that too... "
Smith is also wondering how to move.
"What does Gina think?"
Amy will ask.
"Hmm... that's right...
Even for a short period of time, I don't think that the price of wheat fluctuates due to the purchase of one territory, which is a bit of a royal capital or Elvis family rumor.
I think that some people see it as a bad wind no matter how secretive it is, and I think that the worse the rumors, the more interesting the people are spreading. "
"Yeah, that's true."
Smith nodded at Gina's words.
"However, the order to Mr. Smith says that wheat is supposed to be sent home by the due date, so I have to buy it from somewhere...
In a way that does not cause price fluctuations throughout the city... negotiate with the Imperial Castle to sell stockpiles.
How about asking the castle to buy less in dividends so that the market price remains unchanged? "
"That's one hand too."
Amy nods.
"But does the Bureau of Economic Affairs have a handler?"
Donnelly leans her neck.
"It's in the royal family, isn't it?"
Gina says Smith and Donnelly look at Amy.
"Hmm!? Me!?
No, if it's my personal purpose, I'm sure they won't listen to me, but I don't know him enough to introduce Smith.
Besides, if I put my shoulder in a weird way, I might get some bad rumors... "
Amy shakes her head.
Donnelly and Gina said, "Now?I don't say it in my mouth, but I feel the same.
"As Elvis, Mr Smith will negotiate this time.
I can rely on your husband's help... but it is possible that the Elvis family name will be dropped somewhat.
Thinking about Mr Smith's future, I wonder if Master's network should not be used now. "
Gina says.
"It is a topic of dress for those who think that the old aristocrats are the messengers of the new aristocracy.
I don't think Takio-san cares, and as Takio-san's assistant, the monopoly bureau and the diplomatic bureau seem to be able to move around... well, I can't help but use it for this kind of project. "
Amy thinks and says.
"Hmm... is that Leila's sister?
Onee-sama will probably come to my parents' real brother for consultation.
I wouldn't even be able to look around. "
Smith says.
"Mr. Smith, I think it would be good to consult with His Highness Leila, but first, why not rely on Erica, the advisor to the Third Prince's family?
In the end, I think you will consult with the Third Prince's family, but may I first visit you in the form of borrowing wisdom from the royal counsellor, avoiding going to the royal family suddenly?
I think that alone will change Mr Smith's assessment in the royal castle. "
Donnelly tells me.
"I don't know if that will change my impression.
And when I went to talk to Erica, all I could think of was Leila's sister sitting next to me. "
Amy says in a daze.
"Still, it is.
The Elvis family is an old aristocrat, but the Kitamizato, one of our men, will let you go with that momentum.
The royal castle is walking freely and the royal family usually drinks tea.
It's no wonder someone is messing with you.
If a disaster strikes you, Kitamizato will be able to move herself, but this man will not attack those who say so.
That way, it's no wonder the owner's trail is so bad. "
"Smith is from the Elvis family, isn't he?
And what are you going to do with that subtle rumor?
Will you only make yourself worse later? "
Amy is astonished at Donnelly's words.
"You might be spreading rumors to the extent that you don't.
How often do you say that about the royal castle? "
Donnelly says.
"Well... from the time of the appointment ceremony, that sort of thing disappeared."
"Why?"
"I wonder why."
Amy answers Donnelly's question lightly.
"Master Smith, what do you want to do?
Do you want to go with Donnelly's plan?
Or would you like to speak directly to His Highness Leila? "
Gina asks Smith.
"Well... yeah, I think Lord Donnelly is right.
Instead of asking the royal family if you suddenly get in trouble, it doesn't seem to be a problem to go to Erica, who has the status of a wise man in the royal castle. "
"I see.
Then I will go to the royal castle and ask Erica about his plans. "
Gina nods.
"Thank you for your time in the royal castle."
Smith says.
"No, it was for your husband yesterday and for Smith today.
Both work, no problem.
Now, Master Smith, I'm going to finish my work quickly. "
"Yes, please."
Smith nodded.
