Margrave’s Bastard Son was The Emperor Chapter 84

Episode 84. the price is fixed

“First of all, we can say that the starting point of the drug party itself was an advantageous situation for Gale, and no matter how much a slave is an object, he is a person with thoughts and emotions, isn’t he? Since it was sent by Gale, there is no way to know what kind of slave he is.”

“If you refuse, it will be like directly rejecting the palace’s apology, and more than anything, since the manpower has been reduced, it will be a burden on the family in any way.”

Is that it?

Not only did it effectively convey its hostile stance against drugs, but it also gave people the sense of shame that they had been helplessly abused by the prince. It was truly a sharp blow without any hesitation.

“If you don’t like what the prince gave you, you can sell it at the slave market and buy a new one.”

“The slave market is not always open in the center. And as I said, it was a ‘gift’ from the prince himself, so how could he sell it? “It’s definitely giving me an excuse to get caught behind my back.”

After hearing Romandro’s explanation, Beric nodded, saying he understood a little.

“He perfectly showed his presence while keeping the nobility in check. Did you say Wesley? “The Minister of Magic.”

“That’s right. The authority in magic is enormous. I don’t even know how old I am. “Not much is known about him other than his name.”

If Ian goes up to the center, he will definitely meet her. Ian was a magic operator, and he was scheduled to become a valuable talent for the Ministry of Magic in the future. So, naturally, the superior was Wesley, and it was clear that they would continue to clash.

“Anyway, the more I think about it, the more amazing it is.”

“Actually, Gale has a rather sharp personality and doesn’t get along with Marib, so if you ask me, he is a very belligerent person. “I don’t know why you two are so anxious because you can’t eat anything.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

A successor and a challenger threatening his position.

It was a natural relationship. Even if they are brothers from the same litter, it is only right for them to point swords at each other, especially since they even have different mothers.

“You two probably know. Because we have something that each other doesn’t have. “I think that’s what makes me even more angry.”

“What kind of person are you, Marib?”

“My name is Mariv… … .”

Romandro carefully chose words, but there was no suitable way to express them. He was as delirious and inscrutable as he was to Gael.

As Romandro’s answer became longer, he tilted his head back and said that it was Beric.

“it’s okay. What do you know? “We better get ready to welcome Count Merelov.”

“okay. Beric, while I’m talking, try moving.”

“Oh really! The doctor said so. “I’m so tired!”

“I said I was surprised that the wound had healed so well.”

Ian smiled and sent Beric out. Then, suddenly, I pondered over Gale’s case and asked.

In fact, there is no separate slave market in the center, and the time when the slave merchants stayed in the center was the same as market day. Of course, transactions were taking place secretly, but the main purpose was to exchange existing slaves.

“By the way, the slave top that goes to the center. “Are you sure they are going through Merelov?”

“hmm? well. These are people who wander around all over the place. Merelov will also pass through. “Isn’t that the only way to come in through the Hawan Kingdom?”

‘Well, Mrs. Lien Merelov and Clark are also former slaves, so it would be natural for slave groups to come and go in Merelov.’

Ian was lost in thought, tapping his fingertips on the table. Roman Dro glanced at him as always, then began to organize gifts to send to his family.

Another day passed.

“When are you going to go up to the center?”

Squeak.

Hannah asked as she poured some warm tea. It takes 15 days by carriage from the frontier to the center. Considering that it is winter, it would be easier to schedule a departure date soon.

That meant that we were a little more than a month away from the end of the year.

“I don’t know yet. “I need to get ready soon.”

“If you go up, you’ll be staying at Romandro’s house, right?”

“If the imperial palace gives me accommodation, I will stay there, but if not, I think I will. “I’ll let you know when I get up.”

As Ian said that, he felt a little uncomfortable. He had promised himself that once he entered the imperial palace, he would rush to the Ministry of Magic’s villa without hesitation.

I would go and investigate Naum’s magical traces and find the answer to this reincarnation. If he could find a way to return to the original time, Ian would do so without hesitation.

If so, it means that leaving the Bratz territory will be the last time with them. Ian lowered his head to his book, trying to hide his complicated thoughts.

“It’s the imperial palace. Just thinking about it makes my heart pound. They say it is the most beautiful palace in the world. “The outdoor garden is covered with a glass dome, so when it snows, it’s like being inside a giant igloo.”

“iced coffee. okay. “There are gardens like that too.”

“yes? Do you know?”

“… no. “I heard it too.”

Ian argued without realizing it and then made a mistake. Hannah laughed at the bland words and continued chatting.

“And when you say it’s going to rain, there’s a room where it pours, and there’s a room where flowers blow in the wind all year round.”

“I guess Romandro told you?”

“yes! sure.”

What Hannah was talking about must be where the Ministry of Magic is located. Unlike an ordinary room, it was a space where supernatural things frequently took place. Even he himself, the emperor and wizard, could be seen as not knowing every detail of it.

“If you go, when will you come back?”

“hmm. well.”

Ian smiled faintly. If Emperor Ian disappears, will his original owner, the bastard Ian, return? I didn’t dare to guess anything, and I couldn’t decide anything.

smart.

“Come in.”

“Hey Ian! “Hey, a guest has arrived.”

At that time, the door opens in a hurry as soon as permission is given. Ian just nodded calmly. When it comes to places to come, there is only one place.

“Are you Count Merelov?”

“yes. That’s right. “My wife and I came together.”

“okay. Take her to the drawing room. “I also called Romandro.”

At Ian’s wink, Beric spat the tree he was chewing into the fireplace. Then he neatened his collar and checked the sword at his waist. The same goes for Hannah. He quickly checked Ian’s collar, buttons, and knots.

“let’s go.”

“yeah. let’s go.”

“Hey, Ian. “Is there anything else I can prepare?”

“The tea will have already gone down, so please bring out some snacks like Gula.”

“yes. young master.”

Crackling.

Less evil!

Ian closed the curtain and looked down. Employees were waiting behind the carriage that Count Merelov and his wife were riding. For something that suddenly struck, the scale is large. It seems like the intention is to finalize the deal ‘today’.

“Not bad.”

“what?”

“It means we’re halfway through.”

“So, what does that mean?”

Beric asked, tilting his head, but Ian didn’t seem to have any intention of answering. When they went down to the drawing room, servants were already lined up in the hallway, looking helpless.

“Sir Ian!”

“Romandro.”

Romandro, who came running after receiving Hannah’s call, was clearly sleeping. I squeezed his head, which had become a nest, and blinked his eyes.

“Count Merelov and his wife have arrived?”

“Today is the day of reckoning.”

“good. “Please treat my wind catcher properly.”

The two exchanged glances and made a decision. And when the servant opened the door, he greeted the count and his wife without any hesitation.

“Count Merelov and madam! Hello, how are you? “What are you doing without any message?”

“Hmm. “I don’t know if I disturbed you while you were busy.”

“Not at all. “The Count has come, but is there anything more important than that?”

Ian held hands with the Count politely. Mrs. Merelov held out the back of her hand with a brighter smile, and Ian kissed her without hesitation.

“I came all of a sudden and was rude. However, the work is a bit urgent and I thought it would be better to talk to each other face to face. In particular, isn’t it really a long time since the Count visited Brac?”

“I see. “Please sit down first.”

Following Ian’s guidance, Count Merelov sat down with an awkward swagger. He was a very skinny man, but he seemed to have gained some weight. Is it Gula’s fault?

“Didn’t Gula eat it all by herself?”

“Shh! Mr. Beric!”

Beric saw that and whispered to Hannah. Although her words were so vulgar that she was stabbed in the side. On behalf of the Count, who was reluctant to speak up, her wife softened the mood.

“The gula was really delicious.”

“I think it tasted good.”

“I heard that the people here are so excited to eat it. I can guess why. “The taste is so different depending on how you eat it.”

The wife was very clever. There is absolutely no trace of a secret transaction between them.

“Did it suit your taste, Count?”

“That’s right. Well, it wasn’t bad.”

Even if there wasn’t a thief, it would have come. Eating just a little once or twice a day eventually led to digging in the ground and taking out the buried seeds.

“Fortunately, the.”

Now that we had a rough idea of ​​each other’s intentions, the rest was obvious.

Ian clasped his hands and leaned back. This was to give a relaxed atmosphere compared to Merelov and his wife, who straightened their backs stiffly.

“I guess the reason you came here today was to deal with Gula. “Was I right?”

“That’s right. Sir Ian.”

At the same time that Countess Merelov agreed, the Count began in a low voice.

“You were good at calculating?”

“What do you mean?”

“The amount of gula we need. Assuming, I would definitely need about 100 bags to be able to grow and make a living at the same time. So, it looks like there will be a large transaction this time, but I was curious as to why the price was so I found it myself.”

“is it so. Sir Ian. To be honest, I think it is right to lower the price since this is my second transaction and I am purchasing in bulk. “What does it mean to be a good neighbor?”

Romandro cleared his throat and tried to find an opportunity to intervene, but it wasn’t easy. Ian winked at Romandro and signaled that it was okay.

“First of all, the reason why we cannot lower the price even though we purchase in bulk is because gula is a food ingredient that can be stored for a long period of time. This means that it is not a crop that should be sold quickly out of fear that it will spoil.”

“So you must have more room in inventory.”

“So there is no reason to go any further and sell it. “You can just store it and take it out when you need it.”

He seemed determined to retort quietly. It’s like subtly saying that there will never be price negotiation.

Count Merelov’s face hardened, and his wife nodded subtly and made a gesture of understanding.

“Also, if you do a deal with Merelov and Gula, you are giving away a portion of our consumption, so it is both a benefit and a loss at the same time.”

“loss? What you got for free in the mountains and fields turned into fifty gold coins. Are you saying it’s a loss now?”

“I’m sorry, but what we gained from the mountains and fields has already disappeared into the stomachs of the people of the territory. “What we are offering now are the crops they cultivated with their sweat.”

Not a single word was lost. The Count tried to add something, but Ian ignored him and continued.

“And do you know? “Gula grows on dry sand or in water, but dies if it gets hit with snow.”

It seems like I didn’t know from the looks of it. Ian measured the timing with her fingers.

“It’s not unusual for it to snow at any time. It is obvious that there are restrictions on the harvest of Gula. We also need to make up for the harvest by building greenhouses after selling large quantities, so we need to get that much price. “I believe Count Merelov will understand this decision for the people of the territory.”

When Ian went to get crops for relief, didn’t they raise the price for the same reason as above? It was the same with Ian. He grinned, referring to the ‘appropriate line’ created by the situation.

“So I cannot trade for less than fifty gold pieces. “This is in compliance with the wishes of the people of the territory and, by extension, His Majesty the Emperor, who sought to rebuild this place.”
