17 Episode 17: Meeting

"I am Julia's father."

… Is n’t it a bit too rapid?

A man lying in bed in front of me. King Rossais.

There is a smile on the side and Yulia looks like a dope.

Don't ask me

I imagined a daughter of a royal family or a close daughter of King Rossais.

No way the daughter of King Rossais ...

"My daughter is taking care of me."

"No, no, this is honey."

Honey is used as a medicine in the ancient world. I'm sure it is here too.

I was going to give it to the sick because I thought it would be good, but I would definitely give it to him.

"By the way ... I don't know you at all. I knew about Julia last night only after I asked him. So why not tell me?"

"Did Julia say nothing?"

"Oh, I guess it would be unreasonable. I didn't even talk about that pottery. Well, I wanted that pottery because I wanted it ... but I just want to see the producer himself."

So that's it.

Yulia escaped not because she was incompetent on her watch, but because she had tolerated.

Convinced.

"I'll talk now."

Of course, don't do anything you don't want to teach or do anything inconvenient.

"I see. I understand. By the way. Are you going to belong to Japan?"

"Thank you, but I will refuse."

"Reason?"

I tell you why I was thinking in advance.

"Because you are sick. Will you protect me when King Domorgar attacks you? And you too are sick and you cannot cope even with Ferm. I think it's too early. "

"I see. That's right. What about trade?"

Is that the main subject?

Well, I've heard from Julia that I hate affiliation.

"No problem. Do you want Sueki?"

"Oh, yes. What should I trade for?"

"I want livestock. Chicken, cow, goat, and pig. Horse if possible."

"Domestic animals ... we have to let go of our livestock quickly, and cows and horses are difficult to breed. We just imported from overseas. Is there any? "

"Then slaves."

What we lack is labor.

The task is much easier if there are multiple adult male slaves.

Slaves may seem pathetic, but slaves are common in these areas. In particular, there seems to be magic, so it seems easy to control.

"I understand.

"does not matter"

Slave, cheap. But such a thing.

By the way, the purpose of buying slaves was not only for the workforce.

Slaves were not slaves from the beginning. In the past, I was in a proper profession.

For example, grape farmers.

I don't know how to grow grapes. It looks difficult.

I would be lucky if I could get a man with the skills to grow grapes.

Other carpenters.

"I want you to continue interacting with Your Highness Julia in the future."

"... It's dangerous. Yulia is my only daughter. I can't help that."

"Hey, dad. I've been with Almus for four years but was it okay?"

Julia gets persuaded.

"It can't be helped. If you say that, I'll forgive you. But! Almus. Don't hurt your daughter. If you hurt ... you know?"

"I know. I understand myself."

Perhaps it's not the heart that hurt.

Body ... specifically a hymen.

I know that much.

Anyway, it was good.

If Julia goes away, you'll have to hire someone to teach you magic.

Oh, isn't your relationship with Yulia just to teach you magic?

But at worst I can talk to her.

The biggest damage is magic.

"By the way, do you have a wife?"

"No, but ..."

"Would you like to introduce me? What is your favorite type?"

What. suddenly.

That's kind of a connection.

Do you want to attach a relative or royal daughter to me? You're good at stealing technology?

Is it so easy?

Or rather, I'm scared of Tetra. be killed.

But how to refuse ...

That's it! !

"Yulia. Can you please?"

"That's impossible"

King Rossais snors.

I managed to cut it off.

He glanced at Julia and found that her face was red and hardened.

Hey, it looks like I'm really saying that face.

What to do if King Rossais kills him.

"Hey, no way ..."

Look, I was stared.

What should I do?

"Are you serious?"

"Well, how about?"

I show you crazy.

The reason why I do not say that it is completely different is consideration for Yulia, since it is relatively true

"I can't eat it. Is it really fifteen?"

"I'm actually over 20 years old."

"Don't lie. And are you still young?"

Well certainly.

I notice now, but I'm not too nervous.

Perhaps because he is a strong perception of being Yulia's father before being a king, or because I'm a strong type to say so ...

"By the way, your village seems to be close to the kingdom of Ferm."

"Yes.

"If there is something, why not cooperate?"

A troublesome story has come.

In short, an alliance.

If you receive it, the risk of getting involved in war increases.

If you refuse, you must defend alone.

It's a very annoying problem that goes well in modern times.

"... Can you think about it? We have very few people, so we can't go on war so easily. Please understand."

If this is a country of reasonable national power, it is still good.

But there are only thirty people who can fight?

Fortunately we have the technology. We can negotiate to some extent for it.

There are plenty of ways to avoid war.

I was glad if King Rossais was smaller than King Ferm.

But the kingdom of Rosais is larger than the kingdom of Ferm.

So the first thing to do is likely to be the kingdom of Rosais instead of Ferm.

Abo seems to be bleeding in the aggression war if mutual defense is good.

"I understand that much. I'd like to expect a good color reply if possible."

He has withdrawn.

He thinks he has more time for negotiations.

Can you make this conversation each time you meet ...

It might be better to prepare weapons.

"Finally, foreigners ... Are you a Christian? I want to buy livestock from them. Could you please introduce me?"

"I don't mind that much. There are several colonies of Christians farther south. If you go there you will be able to buy a variety of unusual things. I'll write an introduction."

"Thank you. Something ..."

"I don't need it, I just write."

Saying that, King Rossais writes on the wooden board with ink.

There's no paper ...

"So, we had a meaningful time today."

"Me too. Would you like to stay?"

"No, I told my friends in the village that I will return later today."

I say that and get up.

It seems a bit rude to refuse to be invited, but staying here is dangerous.

It is troublesome if you are drunk and get drunk and made a lot of facts.

Or rather killed by Tetra.
