Chapter 214. Let's build a boat... a very big boat (6) + Anguish of an Ordinary Brother (1) ....Actually, the conditions are not that good.

It seems like I'm throwing away a lot of money right now, but if I calculate the gains I'll get later, I can cover it with about 300 gold coins.

I told them it was just a huge, sturdy ship.

It didn't say how much power it had.

I'm thinking of picking a lot of mulberries and eating them.

Until now, chocolate, which was only sold within the Kingdom of Ernesia, is planned to be sold in earnest as soon as the fruits are imported from the continent.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to more.

Rather than trade, it is to benefit from the results to be obtained by the means that will be produced by it.

If you import finished products, there won't be much benefit because of the tariffs.

However, most of what we touch are raw materials.

There is little reason for us to lose money.

Even if it is part of it, there will be no perception of loss as it will eventually guarantee them the same level of profit as before.

‘Even if I knew my intentions, I would still refuse.'

It is true that they are in financial trouble.

You can put out an urgent fire right away, but there is no way you can look ahead 10 or 20 years.

“Keuk... I don't feel any taste.”

He took a drink and let out a heavy sigh.

It has suddenly become a transaction involving a lot of money, so of course it is frustrating.

“Would you agree?”

“We must ask His Majesty's intentions.”

I understand.

This is not a decision to be made alone.

“are you okay. It's an opinion, so you can ask slowly.”

It takes time to build a ship anyway.

There are other issues that need to be addressed right away.

“Quick.... I will try to get an answer as soon as possible....

” Huhuhuhu. okay? Are you looking forward to it? Please review slowly.”

Then, the work story ends here?.

I moved the fish dish that came out into my mouth.

fish is delicious

I'll have to tell the store that I'm going to buy more later.

The result of that negotiation?

I don't care about that again.

I will accept it anyway.

I was looking forward to that.

It doesn't matter if you force it.

At that time, I just need to squeeze them into signing somehow in some other way.

I was halfway ignoring his nervousness and leisurely tasting the fish dish.

Mmmmmmmmmmm... This one tastes good too.

I should buy this type of fish too.

I was just relaxed.

Ordinary Brother's Agony (1)

King Ernesia.

Even though it was late at night, Jeil, who was still checking the agenda in his room that he had not yet reviewed, greeted the unexpected guest and started talking to him unexpectedly.

“It's a big deal, Leonil. I never thought you would come to me at this hour.”

Leonil, who was sitting across from him, bowed his head as if he was sincerely embarrassed.

“Please forgive me for coming to you at such a late hour, Your Majesty.”

“....Okay. There is no need for such trivial courtesies between us.”

Jeil smiled lightly and shook his head at Leonil, who was polite to the king as a younger brother and servant.

For the dignity of the position of king, it is right to draw a stern line with his half-brother, but he had no intention of acting rigidly even in such a position.

If possible, he tried to spill the nuance of how it would be like to live as before, but Leonil firmly refused.

“One cannot. Aren't you the one who should lead the kingdom of Ernesia now?”

“....I see.”

“You should be stricter.”

... Uhm.

Having said this, it would be right to respect the wishes of the younger brother.

“Yes Leonil. Tell me about the business that came to me at this hour.”

“yes. Actually, I asked to see you to tell you what I will do next.”

“Hmm? In the future?”

What are you trying to say?

Jeil, who was curious, understood the meaning after a while.

The current royal family was perfectly taking their place one by one after the coronation ceremony.

First of all, their father, Theonel Ernesia, who should be called the previous king, is living a leisurely life after stepping down from the throne.

He may have broken four or five tables on the spot.

However, Cheil sighed.

“Leonil I am not my father.”

Jeil doesn't have enough muscles.

No, I didn't mean that, but his disposition was quite different from Theonel's.

“I cannot write the same way.

That's why you think it's not possible.”

“Why?”

Isn't the king supposed to suppress those who go against his will with strong force?

At least, that was the state affairs that Leonil had seen from his point of view.

“That's not it, Leonil.”

Jeil flatly denied it.

“Of course, I have no intention of ignoring their behavior.”

“then! You have to push harder.”

“Don't worry, I'm going to do it my way.”

He said that and pointed to the document he was reading a moment ago.

“Now my aides are digging behind those nobles. Sooner or later we will find grounds for friendly pressure.”

If we use that as an excuse to create a place to negotiate again, we will be able to get their consent.

Jeil explained to Leonil about the way he handled state affairs.

However, when he heard that, his expression was not clear.

“However, wouldn’t such a lukewarm method not be enough?”

“Okay. Even Arell agreed with this method.”

Leonil's eyes trembled at that moment.

“Again... It's Arell.”

“Leonil....

“The king is not Arell, but his older brother. But how can you be so ignorant?”

“Leonil I don't know what you're talking about.”

Jeil could not hide his embarrassment this time.

Originally, as a king, he might have had to firmly rebuke even his younger brother.

But at the moment, he couldn't even think of it.

“I did it the way I thought. How can you misunderstand that you did what Arel wanted?”

“...That's that.”

“Leonil must be upset.”

Entering a new era, everyone has a lot of thoughts.

Jeil just regarded Leonil's current condition as just being nervous with anxiety about the future.

....without realizing that it was her own mistake.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear the story just now.”

“I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Apparently, as Your Majesty said, I thought a little too much.”

Leonil bowed his head again and apologized.

Jeil just let it pass without a word.

“Then see you next time.”

* * *

After Leonil withdrew his energy as if he had no face, Jeil sat still and chewed on the sense of incongruity from earlier.

‘...Something bothers me.'

what?

‘no way???????'

Jeil tried to grab a pen when a possibility popped into his mind.

It is to contact someone.

Someone had given him some advice before.

Remembering that advice, the first thing I wanted to do was just in case.

However, Cheil shook his head and put the pen down again.

‘No. It's still too early to judge.

I want to believe no.'

I decided to watch more.

After all, is my older brother still soft...

I sighed as I hid their conversation and overheard it.

Well, it's not that the oldest brother did anything wrong.

Sometimes you need straight teeth like that.

But I was wondering what to do in this case.

It doesn't matter.

It was expected from the beginning.

Then maybe it's time for me to step out.

Because in the original world, if someone else can't help, someone else can help.
