Book 7: Chapter 1
After a period of working hard, I finally finished arranging everything for the elves. I arranged their living by having them live with human families that were willing to accept them. I arranged to have one elf to a household and tasked them with the extraction and production of elves’ dye. That’s saved me a lot of trouble. However, I paid attention to lots of things when I selected homes for them. I avoided having innocent girls stay with single guys. Something will happen. Something will definitely happen for sure.
Things here have been resolved. I massaged my shoulders and then returned to my palace.
“Onii-sama, the envoy from Socina City is waiting for you in the guest room. However…… Onii-sama, there is still an entire lunch break worth of time before we are due to meet so let us have lunch first.”
Freya looked at me, smiled and went on, “Onii-sama, let’s talk about the details over lunch since… I have already secretly met with the previous envoy and have managed to find out some information. In short, this case is very complicated. If we get involved and choose the right side, we will be able to make a big profit. If we choose wrong however… mm, we will need her majesty to get involved then.”
I hesitated for a moment and then asked: “We need her majesty to personally get involved? Is it that serious?”
“The walls have ears, onii-sama. Miss Nier has prepared lunch.” Freya wore a mysterious smile. I followed her into the kitchen while baffled myself. I don’t know what’s going to happen. Freya is similar to Castell in this aspect. They both say nothing when things are relatively chaotic. But Freya’s smile is frankly quite soothing. It’s not like Castell’s which has a mocking vibe to it.
“Onii-sama, let me put it simply. After speaking to the both of them separately, I have an idea of what happened. In short, it’s a clash of powers…… More precisely, the most important thing… is that the new lord is extremely naive.”
I looked at Freya and asked: “Naive? Has that got something to do with this?”
Luna set up the tablecloth and then stepped back. Nier sat to one side and hummed a tune as she cut the meat in front of her. She doesn’t concern herself with my business. A better way to put it would be that she is the prince’s princess, not his vassal, so she has no right to stick her nose in his business.
