Chapter 450: Savage Land Development Project 3
After we finished gathering the rocks, we spent our days between the Volton and Sacntuary mansions, sometimes we go to our base in the Demon Continent and in the Sky Island, and we mingle with Berkut and the Aligerous Tribe.
While we were living such a life, Sebastian said that a correspondence that came to Wedgefort from Prime Minister Simon.
「Lord Portfort will arrive at Wedgefort in 3 days.」
「Thank you. So, I have to meet him at Wedgefort too, right?」
「Yes. They stated that they would like to hold the meeting with your presence included.」
「Which means the representative of Yggurle Kingdom will be coming to Wedgefort too?」
「Yes, the manager for the development project as well as Princess Mimir would be participating for Yggurle Kingdom.」
I heard Sebastian mentioned the name of an unexpected person.
Rather than unexpected, it was my neighbor in the Sanctuary, so it was a face I see quite frequently. Meeting my neighbor Princess Mimir in a formal setting was a strange feeling.
As if reading my current train of thought, Sebastian explained the reason for Princess Mimir’s participation in the meeting.
「Yggurle Kingdom is an Elven nation. For more than a thousand years, there have been many proud individuals who regarded themselves as the most valuable race. Among them, Their Majesties the current King and Queen, and Princess Mimir were rare individuals who did not have the same ideals.」
Even if the discussion veers to me taking no part in the buildings of the city, the stones could be used for other things, so there’s no problem.
The day of the meeting in Wedgefort was relayed to us, and just in case, we will ride to Wedgefort the day before it and gather information in the city.
◇
We received information that Valkyra Kingdom’s Prime Minister Simon had already arrived in Wedgefort. Meanwhile on Yggurle Kingdom’s side, Princess Mimir had arrived yesterday. It was not known if the other civil officials had arrived yet.
The day of the appointment, a carriage sent by Lord Simon came to pick us up and we headed to the castle built on the small hill in Wedgefort.
It’s been a while since I’ve been in this castle. Now, the Viscount, Margrave Volton’s protégé, was managing it as its governor.
As we were waiting in a room in the castle, I sensed someone approaching.
「Apologies for making you come all this way. Please sit down.」
The person who came in was from Valkyra Kingdom’s side, Lord Simon and two assisting civil officials. Behind them, the people from Yggurle Kingdom’s side, Princess Mimir and Prime Minister Balza also appeared.
This was a bit surprising, but thinking about it, Prime Minister Simon was present for Valkyra Kingdom’s side, so having Prime Minister Balza come balances it out.
The discussion opened with unrolling a rough map that we created of the Savage Lands.
