“Every time you make that look, there’s a moment when you’re delicate. Unlike the others, it’s hard to read minds. ”
That’s what Confucius Hamel said, but I didn’t wipe the smile off my mouth. I’m not teasing you, I’m expressing confidence.
The plan I’m about to explain is a little grand. That is why we must persuade Confucius Hamel to cooperate, as well as Sapiella’s love afterwards.
That’s why it’s better to be confident than to be modest.
“Ha, let’s hear what’s good about that. ”
“Let me conclude by short-term admission of Miss Sapiella to the Academy in the Royal City. ”
“Short-term admission? ”
The eyes of Confucius Hamel sparkle. It’s good proof that you were curious.
Even though he was a smart Confucius Hamel, he didn’t seem to think of it that way. You don’t have to make a big deal out of it, it’s Prince Hamel’s habit, but he folds his arms in thought.
A few groans came out, and Confucius Hamel stared at me and asked.
“A short admission means, what, a three-month course? Getting a diploma. ”
“That’s right. I heard the nobleman’s children register formally when they visit the Recreational Car Kingdom. That’s what we’re using. ”
“Hmm.”
The Academy is the largest and oldest in the Kingdom. As many talents gather, the curriculum varies as well.
Surprisingly, it is open to the public, so there are no special admission qualifications.
However, if you are not selected as a scholar, you will have to pay a huge tuition fee and the royal family’s prices are not high enough, so ordinary people will not even notice.
The subject of learning is academic and martial arts. In other words, formal admission is divided into two groups. It’s like sharing a door with a family where I lived.
But what I just proposed was a special curriculum. This course does not require an entrance exam and is only available for a certain fee. It is primarily based on advanced subjects, and if you want, you can listen to Bourne’s lecture.
Stuart once explained to me about the Academy when I used to work in the library, because I was so good at my job. I may have used the information I got back then.
“Now I understand what’s good for you and Arthus, but what’s good for Ella? ”
“The fame of the family and the pride of the lady would be at stake if I told you more. ”
“Honor and pride. ”
“I don’t know if you know this, but Chef Irene of Primera was burned and the Viceroy had dinner in Rosetta the other day. ”
Hamel nods as if he knew.
Although the chef of the Adeline family is not in a position to be appointed, the story is a little different for Primera’s chief chef. It is a position of employment, but it is also a place of great power because it is a place of confrontation with many nobles.
It’s not a job to get a title if you want to. It would be great if you could make something delicious out of the mouth of the late Chronos! I can give you the title of Baron as much as I want.
“That’s when I overheard the viceroy talking to another nobleman. ”
“You blasphemer! How dare you eavesdrop on my father? ”
“I didn’t eavesdrop, I overheard a conversation in the hallway. You can’t just cover your ears and greet him, can you? ”
Hamel’s expression is frustrating, but he waves his hand and instructs you to continue reciting.
“The Earl of Astria asked me if I had any news, and the nobleman we spoke with said he had no news. You felt weird about it. ”
“I know that. I had a banquet and an invitation to make some progress, but these ungrateful bastards are sweeping their mouths and diving. ”
“Woman, isn’t that a good thing? ”
The Confucius stared at me and grumbled.
“Yes, it is. But running the territory isn’t going to be easy. We need the power of the Astrians, so we’re talking about a marriage proposal. I’m sure they’ll help us on our territory anyway. ”
“There must be a reason for them to postpone their souls. ”
“Of course. They’re black inside. ”
“Anyway, the Viceroy is very reluctant to hear from Prince Otto. A little too much, you put it like this. ”
The prince’s finger tapped on the armrest. It was a sign that it was in the garage. I told the truth one last time.
“But we can’t go ahead, so he ordered us to wait until word comes from them. ”
“We, the lords of the realm, do not look good first. Well, that’s what your dad said, right? ”
“That’s right. So I don’t think we should give them an answer, even if there’s a narrative there. But you need a reason to do that. ”
In noble societies, justification is especially important. The first thing to be mentioned in friendship and war is justification.
“I am educated at the Academy for a while for the sake of a young lady’s sophistication and recreation. Isn’t this enough? It’s not a routine process anyway, so it’ll end in a short period of time, and if you hear back from Astria in the meantime, you can postpone the answer for about three months. They could accidentally get into a car. ”
“Hehe. Interesting. I never thought I’d be able to return it that way. Obviously, you’re an open book. With that logic, it shouldn’t be too hard to convince him. ”
“Can I ask the Prince to persuade me? ”
“Sure.”
Confucius Hamel stares at me with uncomfortable eyes. His eyes are calling out. I need you to do something for me. I just laughed humbly.
“When you send Ella back to the king, you must follow the steward. Arthur’s gonna have to take it out on his own. ”
“With the authority of the Confucius, I think that’s enough. ”
“Sending in an apprentice shouldn’t be difficult. But wouldn’t that be a bit of a disadvantage in knighthood? I’m going to be away for the duration of the performance. ”
“On the contrary. I’ve been assigned an important mission to escort the young lady, and there’s no way I’m not going to knight her. And it’s proven that you’re already good at it. However, if an apprentice or knight is ordered to do so, it is the right thing to do. ”
“This is no time to complain. ”
“You saw it right. ”
“I see. I’ll deal with it then. Are you going to tell Ella yourself? ”
“I think that would be good. ”
Confucius Hamel nods. I was fortunate that it was easy to persuade. But I soon found out why. He was distracted elsewhere.
He reaches out to the secret book lying on the bed. As he reaches for it, he lets out a thump. Seeing that, I thought that maybe if Confucius Hamel became an heir, he could become a more desolate lord than I thought.
Confucius Hamel picked up his secret ledger and sat back down.
“This ledger. What should we do? ”
“It’s the Prince’s will. ”
“I’d like to embarrass you because I feel like you’re getting a reward from the Dark Side. ”
Confucius seems to be worried. My mind and body are playing separately. The mind has already made up its mind, but the head says it’s not a good way.
I need your help.
“But that’s the bottom line. It’s just emotional retaliation. ”
“That’s why I’m even more annoyed. ”
“Do you hate the dark man? ”
I examined the public’s concerns before I got to the point. Earlier, when he checked the books, he mentioned the fame of his family and called him a filthy bastard.
The anger and emotions at that time didn’t seem to be false.
That’s why I keep getting closer to Confucius Hamel. I know Confucius Hamel acts like a villain on the outside, but he’s not. There was an equitable corner with principle in mind.
That’s why I thought the third, Confucius Hamel, to be the heir to the Adeline family would not be a bad choice.
Of course, after meeting with the first and second allies, I don’t know if that’s going to change your mind.
“They suck the blood out of our poor territory. You think I’d like that? ”
“But Confucius Prague is raising his forces by collecting the bounty on them. If your goal is to become a successor, isn’t it very important? ”
“Hmm.”
I carefully proposed to the contemplating Confucius.
“Even in the dark, we don’t have any righteous friends. ”
“What fresh shit is that? ”
“The Avengers, who cleaned up the Black Pigs this time, are quite useful. They don’t get paid off by merchants, they do business fairly, they accumulate money. ”
“Ah, that’s the organization where you can reach the rope. I handed over this ledger. Right?”
“That’s right.”
“I heard they’re new. How long do you think it’ll take for them to settle down? ”
“It won’t take long. I’ve cleaned up the Black Pigs this time, so the power will soon grow. ”
Confucius Hamel nods, thinking for a moment. Have you made up your mind?
“So, your proposition is to be paid to them? ”
“This is not a payment. A donation.”
“Here comes the wrapping. ”
The expression “donation” seemed to satisfy him. I continued.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll see if the Avengers are willing to send Dahl’s donation. ”
“But do they want to bet against me? If you roll the dice, you’ll think it’s more profitable to bet against your superiors than against me. ”
“If you thought that, you wouldn’t have sent the ledger to the Confucius, and you wouldn’t have investigated the connection between the Delfino Merchant Guild and the Earl of Astria. ”
“Well, yes. ”
“They’re certainly interested in you. If the story goes well, it won’t be a problem. ”
Nothing will go well. I’m the commander of the Avengers.
I can take two benefits with the permission of the Confucius. First, I make an unofficial sponsorship of the Confederate and I owe it to him. The rest of you succeed in persuading me, as if to look, and I will raise the ball to the Confederate.
These two things are worth trying.
“Fine. I’ll leave that to you then. ”
“Very well. I’ll be in touch with you shortly. ”
“But how do you relate to the Avengers? I don’t think it’s a normal relationship to hand over a secret ledger. ”
“I have a small relationship. Don’t get too worked up. ”
Confucius Hamel glanced at me with his suspicious eyes. But I soon stopped paying attention. Right now, I think he’s decided it’s more important to collect the donation than to accuse me.
What a clever fellow you are.
I left Prince Hamel’s room. Then Sir Paramella spoke to me.
“Did the story go well? Luckily, it looks like it’s stuck. ”
“Thank you for your concern. I’m sorry to hear you keep asking so much. ”
“I can’t help it. It’s for the Duke. How’s it going? Mission. ”
“Still halfway there. There’s more work to be done. ”
“Take good care of him. For Confucius.”
I nodded quietly.
I felt loyal to Lord Paramella, but I had no intention of giving loyalty to Confucius Hamel. It’s just a mutual need. Not yet.
