Chapter 285. From now on, (3) Pena had to go to Ernesia Kingdom as a hostage in the name of studying abroad due to the cost of the last war.
Originally, she was destined to waste her life as an unfortunate princess and a pawn in a foreign country.
After being acquainted with Arrel Ernesia through spirit magic.
She will receive advice on commercial plans to maintain the empire directly from Arell.
In addition, the agricultural plan was reorganized in earnest and through trade, the economy gradually began to recover to the extent that there was no need to worry about perishing even if it did not enjoy the same strength as in the past.
Many people were interested.
Of course, there were other parts that they showed interest in, rather than agriculture, trade, or the economy.
What is the relationship between Pena and Arell?
A pawn in another country is reviving her own country through a relationship with the prince of that country and a genius who can shake the continent's copyright.
It was enough to make a good gossip.
In fact, it is said that quite a few people have asked them.
Some say they are truly fearless and admired.
Neither Arel nor Pena had ever given an answer to such a brave question.
It was because Arel simply passed it off with a clever speech, and when he reached Pena, he smiled bitterly and avoided answering.
On the other hand, there was also a country that walked the path of collapse.
Zelnian Castle.
No, she should be called the last saint from now on.
Nelvenia plots an unreasonable invasion of the kingdom of Ernesia in order to prosper the kingdom based on her false ideals, but eventually fails and is criticized by Arel.
As a result, it causes an unreasonable war and disappears after defeat.
To this day, Nelvenia has not been seen since she disappeared from the fortress where the final battle took place.
Many people thought she was dead.
At first, the people of the castle believed in Nelvania's survival theory and cried out her name, but gradually changed their voices to resent her as the economic situation of the castle worsened and evidence of the saintess' past activities came out one after another.
And at the same time, the religion of the Holy Land also walked the path of downfall.
The only survivor of the shaky political world, Kelius, the high-ranking priest, tried to hold on somehow, but that was all.
In a precarious situation, with diarrhea, the kingdom had to face another war.
heterogeneous country.
My name is Kelly.
The Queen of Kelly, a person who gathered all kinds of heterogeneous tribes into a state and declared war on the kingdom as soon as the state was stabilized, as if to relieve the resentment of discrimination and invasion in the past.
Seongguk had to make a final decision in front of the army of the different races, who rushed at it with terrifying momentum, as if exploding the sadness of the past.
Even before the battle, Kelius persuaded the remaining people to surrender.
It's actually a war, but it's over before the armies even collide.
As a result, the religion of the Holy Kingdom was completely abolished, and the Zelnian Holy Kingdom was renamed the Zelnian Kingdom.
And in effect, it became a colony of Kelia.
A scholar who saw the result said this.
“The country that was hostile to Arell Ernesia was eventually ruined. Any country that had a friendship with him survived.”
A historian heard the news of the Zelnian Kingdom and said it half as a joke, but after hearing it, his students thought it was a serious evaluation and spread the story here and there.
Although it was a joke, many scholars, as well as nobles and royalty, took it seriously.
When he finally reached Arel, after hearing that, he
muttered sadly, “What did I do... No, I'm not such a scary person?”
The kingdom of Ernesia also did not know how to stop growing its power.
A new metal titanium produced in Fahilia.
In addition, chocolate has also started to be sold in other countries.
In many ways, the momentum of still siphoning money became stronger, but not less.
The leaders of other countries were worried about the strength of the Ernesia kingdom, but now they had to be careful about even muttering complaints to themselves.
It's not even allowed to look over anymore.
It was because such a rule had already been implicitly established because of the actual example of the Zelnian Kingdom or the Zelnian Kingdom.
Aside from that, in the past two years, small things have happened.
Arele Ernesia, who still can't get out of the top of the topic...
“I'm not working today, but I don't want to do it anymore....
I was rolling around in my own secret space.
That was his true self that no one in the world knew.
yes? The big star of the topic.
Now, for almost everyone in the world, I feel like I've become an untouchable that I dared to talk about.
A lot of things have happened in the past two years, but it's annoying, so I decided to skip it.
Now I was in a huge crisis.
It's not a joke, but the sense of crisis tightens to the point where you'll break into a cold sweat.
I can't even speak.
How long has it been since my snout lost its function?
Never in this life.
Well, even if it were me, I wouldn't hit it.
For some reason, I think I feel the first lonely feeling after having a younger sister.
Well, it's really cute, so I can't help it.
I can't.
This time around, I don't think I'll be able to get through it as usual.
“To tell you the truth, I am busy.”
The prefix “playing” was intentionally left out.
“I know that, Arell.
Mum seems to understand.
For some reason, it seems that my lost conscience is calling me from somewhere.
“Arel, I know you are busier than anyone else.”
Where is my conscience? Should I go find it soon?
The mother sighed lightly once again and spoke once more of the root cause of this atmosphere, as if admonishing a son who had missed something.
“But that's not a reason to refuse the marriage talk this time, isn't it?”
“....yes.”
No, I really have no excuses for this.
This is why I am so embarrassed right now.
As soon as I turned 20 years old, marriage discussions, Where is my conscience? Should I go find it soon?
The mother sighed lightly once again and spoke once more of the root cause of this atmosphere, as if admonishing a son who had missed something.
“But that's not a reason to refuse the marriage talk this time, isn't it?”
“....yes.”
No, I really have no excuses for this.
This is why I am so embarrassed right now.
As soon as I turned 20, marriage talks started pouring in literally explosively.
It was more terrifying than dragons coming in one pile.
Recently, it is literally only confrontation.
All of my work lately is filled with confrontation.
When you wake up in the morning and ask Dia what her schedule is today, she says that it is breakfast and lunch and dinner and dinner.
....it's blatant.
I was starting to question whether I became a lord for this purpose.
“Didn't you refuse to marry the duke's daughter this time? You thought she was a good young lady, but didn't you like it?”
“no. It's not like that... But...
Actually, all the young ladies I've met recently were outstanding. but....?
” but?”
“Um, what should I say? I don’t feel like getting married yet.”
At first, it was rounded around.
I can't say openly that I don't want to get married yet.
If that's the case, this time mom will cry.
No matter what, I just can't get to that point.
....Why should I feel like an unfilial child when I'm only 20?
This is why this era!
Why is everyone so anxious to get married early!
Well, is the issue of my marriage story sensitive even because of my position as a royal family and a popular lord?
“Arel.”
Mom called my name seriously.
I had no choice but to listen to the nagging in silence today, thinking that I had to somehow get out of it, and quietly went into listening mode.
“This mother misses her grandson.”
“...Lea will cry when she hears it.”
Lia, who was eating milk powder, shook her head for some reason.
.... No? Stop making excuses for yourself?
That's too much, my sister.
Before that, is your mother really a grandson?
I think you may have skipped too many steps.
The daughter-in-law is still here too...
No, but that doesn't mean you can't buy and hit her and bring her grandson.
Am I not that stupid?
....maybe.
Or do you have a corner where you can guess somewhere?
I broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, it doesn't seem that far.
