Chapter 32 Side Story Lord Liam-Certified

Chapter 32 Side Story Lord Liam-Certified

The lord who had complete control over a planet was actually a king whose territory spanned across an entire galaxy.

In my office.

I was looking over the galaxy I ruled over through a stereoscopic image.

Wasnt it a beautiful galaxy?

By reaching out my hand, I could zoom in and out of it and use it as a map.

Using it like this, I really felt like a ruler of the stars.

It was like I had the universe in the palm of my hand.

Everything in this galaxy is mine. Now, what am I supposed to do with it?

The one that answered my murmurs was Brian, who had prepared green tea and jellies for me.

Lord Liam, its time for your three oclock snack.

Did you bring the expensive tea leaves and sweets? Im not going to have anything cheap.

Eating sweets bought using my peoples tax money was the best.

And the ones that cost an exorbitant amount of money were the most delicious!

As far as this Brian here knows, the tea leaves used were the best in the local area, and the jellies were specially made from a store that has quite a history to it.

They were tea leaves whose prices were extraordinarily high.

While the sweets were made by specially commissioning the owner of a famous shop thats been around for hundreds of years to personally make them.

I couldnt even imagine how much money it cost just for my three oclock snack.

When I tried eating the jellies, I could taste a refined sweetness spreading throughout my mouth, while the tea I drank to wash it down didnt taste bitter in the slightest.

The combination of the two was amazing!

This is great! It really gives off the feeling of living in luxury!

Brian looked pleased.

Im happy to hear that, Lord Liam.

I thought itd just be another set of tea and sweets, but they were better than I thought.

Lets add them to my snack time rotation.

Brian, add todays sweets and tea to the rotation.

Oh, are you sure about that?

I have the money to do so! This is why I squeezed my people for so much!

After the tax increase, tax revenue rose significantly.

I left everything else to Amagi, so unfortunately, I didnt know the finer details. Still, even though my people were suffering, the sweets they made were pretty good.

This was true bliss.

Looking at my smile, Brian called out to me,

Lord Liam, then are you fine with treating both as recognised by you?

How would they feel about receiving their evil lords approval?

In truth, all those who had it would have complicated feelings rise up inside of them.

They wouldnt be happy with the recognition, but itd be impossible for them to go against me, the ruler of this galaxy.

In that case, Id happily admit it.

Lets give them my approval, which has become notorious with my tax increases.

If I was a peasant, I definitely wouldnt use the store certified by my despot.

Of course, Ill give them an official certificate in my name! Theyre now Lord Liam-certified!

Understood, Ill make the arrangements immediately.

Make sure they display it in a place where everyone can see it.

Of course.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Whatll happen once they put it on display? The customers who have a grudge against me will leave, and then the store will be forced to rely on me to make ends meet.

If thats the case, then I cant wait to see what kind of expressions theyll make.

Ill ruin their lives and make them feel like Ive just handed down an execution order for them.

Im looking forward to this!

The tea and sweets were great today as well!

The opinions of the executives were

Can we sell these in territories outside of the Banfield houses domain?

Theyll sell, but we should bring them to the more developed ones.

If were talking about places where Lord Liams name is known, then how about the Exner territory?

Where could they sell it?

That was what they were all discussing.

Liam, The Pirate Hunter.

The moment such a person became the purveyor of something, said product tuned into a safe and trustworthy thing to invest in.

It immediately became a commodity that could be sold.

Thomas finished eating his portion and spoke,

Its not bad. The combination between the two is good as well. Lets put them together as a set and try selling them like that.

There were many planets that people lived in within this universe.

Some of them would like this product, but the opposite is true as well.

There are a lot of products we can export from the Banfield territory after all.

Thomas was happy.

The more specialty products he had access to, meant that he had more unique goods to sell.

One of the executives spoke,

In recent years, it looks like some other vendors have been pressuring us.

Thomas was troubled by this.

Lord Liam had absolutely no tolerance for pirates, which meant he was a very good lord for merchants who traveled across the cosmos.

There were many merchant houses that aimed for their spot as his exclusive merchant.

if they have any problems with our business, tell them to bring it up with Lord Liam. I dont want to deal with annoyances like them.

My office.

I was upset.Amagi had brought over a cup of tea and a plate of sweets.

Master, are you alright?

Several months later, the alleged tea and sweets were still as delicious as ever.

But the problem wasnt that.

Yeah, Im sure I gave my certification to the tea and sweets, but how come its sold out everywhere on the mail order site?

Amagi quickly answered me,

Theres already a waiting list that goes back for several years. I expect itll take at least three years for the situation to improve.

The store can be renovated, their fields can be expanded, they could hire more people and so on.

But why was it selling so well?

Even Thomas came and told me, That tea and sweets set is being quite well received.

But isnt this weird?

Please rest assured. Masters portion is firmly secured. A set amount is always being delivered to the mansion.

No, thats not what Im talking about, Amagi!

Pardon?

Why is it selling even with my seal of approval? I mean, since I increased taxes and tried to regulate that weird hairstyle, shouldnt they hate anything with my certification?!

Amagi pondered this for a moment before answering,

will people really consider a product bad if you gave it good marks during your evaluation of it?

Ah

To be honest, I was actually surprised by how normal the answer was.

It definitely was a good product.

It wouldnt be strange if it sold well.

If the first place, when I first tried it, wasnt it already a popular product in my territory? Even if I gave my seal of approval then, wouldnt it just give off the feeling of, Hmm, why now?

I made a mistake. I completely misread how this would end up.
