Book 3: Chapter 22
We were looking at the two letters in front of us that were delivered to Muge-san’s company.
One was a subpoena. There was a discrepancy in the testimony between the Rororo Company and the Muge Company(The real name of Muge-san’s company) regarding the negotiation of 1,000 Imperial gold coins. It was to enquire on that matter.
A legal lawsuit. The thief Rororo Company shamelessly lodged a complaint. It was even added that they were willing to accept settlement out of court.
And the other was a sealed letter sent from Her Highness Anastasia. The letter was strictly secured with both reading obstructing magic and the magic to know if the seal had been broken. Fortunately, there were no signs that the seal had been tampered with when we received it.
『I handed the bag to His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty promised to re-investigate, but the problem is that Lulusha will not be able to return to her original position even if she turns out to be innocent, due to losing many personnel and failing the capture. But I am grateful for your work. I don’t have any assets in my current position, but I will send one bunch of my hair to reward you. You have my permission to use it as a magic catalyst or to sell it.』
Indeed, the contents of this letter should be strictly secured. Because Mimino-san suddenly screamed “Hair of a High Elf Royalty?!” and was shaking non-stop for a few minutes.
The High Elves who lead the elves have a unique mana which cannot be imitated. High Elf hair is especially useful when activating ancient elven magic tools.
Furthermore, there are also enthusiast collectors who collect various things. The price of High Elf hair could reach the moon if sold to them. It doesn’t have a market price in the first place.
However… I didn’t like either of those ideas.
