194 Chapter 63: The Princess's Invitation

When Princess Sakuya of Adastera invited me to the royal palace, the first word that came to mind was, "Give me a break."

With the catalyst of boundary magic, I feel like a new trouble has finally entered the arrow where I thought I could finally finish the case of Hydra.

No, the invitation via Lord Dragnaught was courteous, and in that sense it might be premature to decide on trouble.

However, the opponent is the third princess who attracts the attention of the whole canary now. As the princess of the king and future canary queen, there must be so many people who want to see the queen, regardless of their status.

It was under such circumstances that the Empress took the trouble to invite me. It would be natural to think that there is something.

According to Lord Dragnaught's writings, the Empress treats people with sincerity without waving a wave of imperial authority and is welcomed favourably in the palace. This invitation is also in the form of "if possible", so I can't refuse it....

"Well, that's not good."

Scratch your head.

After all, by meeting with Claudia and the King and Prince, I am no doubt a member of the Duke of Dragonnotes. That's why the Empress invited you through Lord Dragnaught.

If I refuse my invitation here, the Empress will, of course, smash Lord Drugnaught's face. Clouds can get Claudia into trouble - that's why I decided to accept the Empress's invitation.

And I decided to find out about the princess I was going to see. Anyway, what I knew about Princess Sakuya was that she was the Empire's third princess.

Fortunately or naturally, it was easy to gather information about the Crown Princess in the kingdom of Canaria, where the wedding was almost over. That's the level at which rumors pop into your ears just by walking along Ishka's street.

However, as far as I'm concerned, I could have listened to the information without wandering down the street. The source is Miroslav. Apparently, he bought information about the wedding through his father, who runs the Chamber of Commerce, and even gave him information about the current Adastera Empire royal family.

"Sooner or later, I knew the Empire would come into contact with the dragon killer."

That's why Miroslav said we checked it out while we were in Belka. What a concern to reach the itchy area. Thank you for purchasing accurate information through your disliked father.

Improvements to antidotes and restorative medicines that have been ordered for a long time are also bearing fruit, and it may be necessary to reward Miroslav for his work in the near future. With that in mind, I read the information Miroslav gathered about the Empress.

The name of the Empress Sakuya sounds similar to my mother's name, Shizuya. The appearance is also black-haired and black-eyed, so this is the same as my mother's.

However, since both are rare in the eastern part of the continent, I don't think there is a kinship between the two. Since my mother is from Shirai and Princess Sakuya's mother is said to be the daughter of the leading lords in the east, there will be no connection between them.

― ― When I say "I think" or "will" about my mother, it is because I do not know the details of my mother's origin. My mother was a person who barely talked about the old days, and when I asked her, she looked sad and lonely. I remember feeling childish that it was something I shouldn't ask.

All I know is that my mother was born in the east of the continent. Also, I don't know whether it is the eastern side of the Empire territory or the Far East region that has not been given to the Empire.

Of course my father knows, but I couldn't possibly have spoken to him at the time. I should have thought about Princess Sakuya, not about her mother.

As you have just said, Princess Sakuya was born between the Emperor of Adastella and the daughter of the Eastern nobility. This mother is still alive in the Adastera Imperial Palace as a petite princess and has a man and a woman with the Emperor.

The first woman is Princess Sakuya. One man will be ten years old this year. Since the Emperor is quite old, he will probably be the last boy in the Purple Garden.

The emperor said that the youngest son of the petite princess was cute and irresistible, and sometimes there was a silent murmur running between him and the grand prince Richard.

Prince Richard is better known for his harshness than his father when he was young. On the other hand, fathers and emperors have become more committed to the policy of reconciliation as they age, and it seems that the relationship between fathers and sons is not going well in this regard.

Perhaps the emperor's will is strong at this wedding. The Crown Prince would have invaded the kingdom of Canaria by sending soldiers directly without a wedding ceremony.

From a closer reading, it may be that Princess Sakuya is gathering hearts and minds at the Royal Canary Palace to move Canary soldiers to help her father and brother when civil unrest breaks out in the Empire. The Dragon Knights' mobility is greatly utilized when considering the vastness of Imperial territory, even as the strength of the Canary is increased.

If the Dragon Knights had a Dragon Killer at their head, it would have been a great battle - and maybe the Empress would have figured it out sooner rather than later?

"That's too much to think about. Well, if you go, you'll find out."

I shrugged my shoulders and thought about my plans for the future.

I sent Lord Dragnaught a reply agreeing, and from there, I adjusted the date of the visit and went to King's Landing again - it was a lot of trouble. Another trouble may arise at some point, and the meeting with the Empress is never too early.

I should go to King's Landing with my direct consent. When the story comes, the impression of the Empress must be better because she rushed immediately. I don't mean to flatter the Empress, but I can't let my eyes get in the way of the Duke's house.

And there is another purpose to go to King's Landing.

"Now, follow Miroslav. I want to go to the Sausar Chamber of Commerce."

A red-haired sorcerer shouted at Miroslav, who was standing beside him like a maid.

"I'd be happy to offer... what can I do for my father's chamber of commerce? Even if the Master doesn't take the trouble, I can go out and tell him what to do."

"What, as the master of the 'Blood Smoke Sword', I just thought it would be better to face each other for once. I always take care of your daughter."

Hearing that, Miroslav mumbled with uncertainty as to what to answer. I suppose you could tell if I was joking or if I was serious.

By the way, the correct answer is "serious".

Originally, Sausar's chairman told me that he wanted to meet him once via Miroslav. I think it was when Miroslav, who returned from Mount Skim, officially joined the Blood Smoke Sword.

But I didn't see him then. Miroslav said he wanted my connections with Lord Drugnaught, so he refused to see me. Speaking of truth, I don't want to see you now.

However, Miroslav has been helpful with the help of the Sausar Chamber of Commerce several times before. Therefore, it is up to me to think of a return gift.

Miroslav, who hated his father, kept his eyebrows closed when he heard me.

Slightly, the pale red lips slowly twitched.

"... Alliance Lord (Master). As I said before, what my father wants is the connection of the Alliance Lord (Master). You could say," I'm going to do it to get into the nobility. "

The Sausar Chamber of Commerce is supposed to be a three-finger commercial association in King's Landing, but its essence is the so-called rise of an emerging force built by Miroslav's father in one generation. As a result, it seems difficult for nobles, especially those above the count, to deal with them.

It also said that there was a considerable difference in assets from the other two chambers of commerce.

"Perhaps my father will ask the Lord of the Alliance (Master) to connect with Lord Dragnaught. But the Duke already has a chamber of commerce to trust. I don't think I will accept another Chamber of Commerce, no matter how much the Master asks. Worst case scenario, it could cause discord between the Alliance Lord (Master) and Lord Dragnaught."

That's why it's better not to see my father, says Miroslav.

I complied with Miroslav's desire to flip us over with enthusiasm.

"I don't pretend to enter the Duke's inner circle. Surely the main business of the Sausard Chamber of Commerce was a garment shop? In the future, if you make me a tuxedo for entering and leaving the royal palace, it won't be enough to help advertising. If I'm short, you can ask Claudia."

As for Claudia, she's my fiancée, so it's not unnatural to put on a costume. The Duke's chamber of commerce won't complain.

It will be very difficult to make it to the next wedding, but every time I enter or leave the Royal Palace in the future, if I and Claudia wear a Sausard Chamber of Commerce tuxedo, this should be enough in return - perhaps.

That said, Miroslav answered with confusion.

"The dragon killer and the dragon note lady will now unload the clothes of the Sausard Chamber of Commerce - there won't be anything more to advertise. I think my father is going to jump... are you sure?

"Oh, I can't borrow a tuxedo from the Duke's house every time I go to the royal palace."

Thinking about the future, I need a tuxedo no matter what. There is no reason why the Sausar Chamber of Commerce should not order it. This will make it easier for Miroslav to draw on the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce in the future, and there is no reason why he should not turn to the Sausar Chamber of Commerce.

Then Miroslav and I went around the King's City, and gave him a prize to reward his work so far, and it was called one stone and two birds. I wish I could sell a new magic wand and a high-performance robe to King's Landing.

I was thinking about that, watching Miroslav shrink his shoulders like he was afraid.
