Chapter 473. (2) “ Yes,
it is a herb that the Duchy of Ruin uses as a means of trading.”
The last time I sneaked in, I secretly infiltrated the field they were managing and took the herb.
It's a common herb, frost!
Of course, it was very simple.
On my return, I came home chewing the herb.
And as soon as I put it in my mouth, I spit it out.
It was tasteless.
And it was tough.
“This... is an ordinary herb.”
“Yes, it is an ordinary herb.”
The important thing is that this herb is very common.
To put it bluntly, he would have grown up in the back mountain behind the royal road.
Poor things that will never become specialties.
But why did this become a specialty?
“They seem to mix these ordinary herbs with magic potions and sell them as special potions that only grow in their territory.”
“???? indeed.”
Cagin understood that the scene had been imagined.
At least I guessed that it wouldn't be the right thing.
However, the reason I brought this here is because there is another annoying thing.
“By the way, the magic potion mixed with this herb is generally prohibited. It’s profitable, but it’s a product that shouldn’t be sold easily because of side effects.”
The effect is excellent, but the side effects are so great that even if it is unavoidably used, it should not be handled unless it is a magician of 6th class or higher.
It's a scam after all.
“So... what are you going to ask me to do?”
“It’s nothing. Take a look at the trading routes with this.”
Perhaps I can guess that the Principality of Ruin did not simply sell this.
This method is impossible without a tacit understanding between each influential person who deals with them.
In fact, it seems that the ones consuming herbs are the underlings who don't know anything.
In any case, it is a weakness for them.
but you have to step on it it's annoying too
“Everyone put your hands up. I mean to ignore it. appeasement or whatever In some cases, I will allow you to mention this name. However, there is no way out of the way.”
It's annoying if I do it myself.
So, on purpose, I'm going to entrust this guy with that troublesome chore.
There was also a purpose that brought him in to do this.
So, you should eat well.
“I'll just pretend that I'm going to make a normal deal with Elim, so on the other side, you contact me and use your hand.”
“Are you okay? How much more did you make me do that?”
“under? Do you want me to do something?”
I snorted and pretended to cut my throat.
That alone made Keigin flinch as if he had the illusion that the inside of his leash was aching.
As you can see, he's still a long way off.
“Don’t think of it as evil. After all, they were the ones who touched me first.”
I grinned as I crumpled the herb in my hands.
“So okay?”
“....yes.”
Cagin meekly gave in and accepted my command.
okay. nice not nice
Listen to me so meekly.
If I'm in a good mood, I might pay off the debt a little bit.
Once the explanation of what you want to do with this is over.
“however. That's what you said earlier. What do you mean you thought I should go to sleep by then?”
I was suddenly curious.
Didn't he just say that he was thinking about abandoning the Budel Company at that time?
I think it's pretty early.
In the first place, I moved so hastily that it got caught on me.
I wondered if there was a reason.
“...Actually, something unusual happened at the time.”
“nicety?”
“Yes, it was not too long ago that Mr. Arell visited the Budell store. Actually, someone came.”
“who?”
“I don’t know. I didn't even mention his name, but he immediately overpowered me and said,
‘Are you related to him?' he asked.”
What is this?
“What do you mean?”
“Among the old tales, there is also a story about a family that has been angered by a higher-ranking being... and receives a disaster
...
In the end, the wizard nodded and walked away this time.
A catastrophe... that's unpleasant bullshit.
But on the other hand, the duke felt uncomfortable.
Let's assume the author is right.
But then who?
‘...I'm guessing it's Arrel Ernesia. No, that's speculation.'
Chestel's behavior may have offended him.
However, if he intended to retaliate, he would have chosen the means of paying back politically.
Whatever it is, common sense makes it impossible.
The wizard was talking nonsense.
He shook his head and tried to think about what to do with the situation.
Then, suddenly, a servant came running in.
“...What are you doing?”
I frowned at the rudeness of not even knocking and tried to warn him, but for some reason his face is not normal.
It seemed that something major was going wrong.
“Bong... Duke!”
“Tell me.”
“It's a big deal!”
“So, didn’t I tell you to tell me!”
After catching his breath for a moment, the servant said that it was a big deal.
The moment he heard it, his heart sank.
“The villagers and soldiers rebelled!”
“???? What?”
Why are they suddenly standing up?
no, there might be a possibility.
It is a fact that he himself knows that the lives of the people of the region have become difficult due to the excessive promotion of several projects and developments.
Could it be that he couldn't stand it and got up?
“What are the soldiers doing?
No, who was the ringleader of the rebellion before that?”
I don't think it's because the young people just woke up.
There must be someone who instigated their actions.
“Tell me!”
“That's it...
“So who's that!”
“...the young master and the ladies.”
....what?
His eyes widened.
Who did you say you were now?
That my children caused it?
Going back a little bit, 3 days ago.
Duke Lesnel's children gathered together in secret.
Have the children ever gathered together like this in the past?
Each of them became a victim of an arranged marriage, and since they were scattered, wasn't it to the point that I hadn't even seen their faces recently.
It might be a situation that will never happen again.
Chestel thought devastated.
‘Haa... Why did this happen?'
The problem is that the places where they are gathered now aren't gathered like this because of good things.
If so, we would have had tea time in the garden on a sunny day.
They would not have gathered in a dark place like this, and at dawn, when they could not even reach their necks.
‘how.... What is everyone trying to do...?'
I was already starting to worry.
The fact that the children have gathered secretly like this now is something that Father does not know.
In other words, I want to tell you a story that my father shouldn't know.
My body shuddered when I remembered that fact.
“Lunian sister? What on earth do you want to say?”
“Yes... I must finish the story in a hurry. You can't stay long.”
When Chestel asked cautiously, Rooney Ahn, the eldest daughter, said with a sigh.
“You know what? What will happen to us in the future?”
” yes?”
“A little while ago, an official divorce paper came in...?”
Runian said as if lamenting.
