Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 24's

The fall of the Kingdom of Garambell has its unique aspects. It was the first case of a kingdom being destroyed by a disaster.

Because the kingdom collapsed because endemic diseases were not war, people at that time studied it a lot.

Not to repeat the same mistake.

Sierra learns about the dark side of history outside the palace in the classroom.

'The collapse of the Garambell, by far, is the most important event recorded in the history books.'

Count Bianche, his history teacher, repeatedly told him as if to emphasize it further.

"Then it happens now."

But why would a Marquis from the empire be in charge of the Pharim herbal supply?

Thats odd. Although the empire dominated the kingdoms of the continent, there was no reason to regulate the flow of potions from other countries.

"And Farim's storage condition?"

“First of all, we have many backup herbs. However, only this quarter's inventory was lost.”

It was not even a request that came in a state of emergency from the kingdom. Instead, it seemed like the empire was supplying them with herbs on a regular basis. Is that some kind of trade?

Sierra's question was immediately resolved.

[Erveldote Alderuan]

Mind: Since the Garambell mountains have a special fertilizer for Harmin tea, it is important for the cultivation of tea leaves. There may be problems with the supply and demand of Harmin tea next year.

[ The hex ]

Mind: How big of a difference does the Garambell mountains have in the production of special fertilizers?

The Emperor was deep in thought, while the Hex Chancellor stood beside him and thought one after another as he chose his words carefully.

Siervian decided to look at them up close, and soon, he discovered many things.

It's not just a simple trade.

"It's related to Harmin's tea."

In the empire, the Garambell Kingdom helped to secure Pharim's potions stably. It was a medicinal herb used for the endemic diseases of the west coast, but it was a herb that was more widely produced in the eastern forest.

It was not easy for a small kingdom like Garambell to accept Pharim in a stable manner.

'Hmm .. I understand. So, instead of getting Pharim directly, does Garambell produce fertilizer to grow Harmin tea instead?’

Fertilizer to cultivate Harmin was the price the empire had in exchange for Pharim.

While the two men were suffering because of their thoughts, Siervian also remembered the things he knew in the past. What he heard from his history teacher came to his mind.

'If it's Harmin tea, of course it's important to our kingdom. So what should we do?'

Although it was not a good memory for him, Harmin tea was one of the most important items in the empire.

People living in the north are sensitive to mana because they all live surrounded by a large mana circle.

If where they are not enough, they will suffer from the disease. And the way to prevent it was through Harmin tea, which was drunk regularly by everyone in the empire from the age of six.

'How strange. It's hard.’

But after reading the adult's complicated thoughts for a while, his head also began to ache, and his body tried to pull him away from the adult's wishes. Ah, don't think about this complicated matter. Just run and go see your favorite flowers.

"But I want to know more."

Having just controlled the nagging urge from his young body, Siervian fumbled with his fingers. It would probably be better if he came closer and sat down...

“Siervy.”

At that moment, the Emperor, who seemed to be deep in thought, suddenly called out to him.

Siervian hesitated to raise his gaze as he wondered if he was staring at them too blatantly after reading through their status window.

“If you are curious, come closer and listen.”

[Erveldote Alderuan]

Mind: You must be interested in hearing about other kingdoms. Who you take after that you look so funny.

Fortunately, he would not be scolded. He thought this was a good thing, so he carefully approached the table where his father was sitting.

The small flower blooming in the middle of the courtyard caught his attention. It seemed to be a wildflower that was not meant to grow there.

"Be careful, be careful."

Afraid of stepping over the flower, he tiptoed towards the table.

After that, his father ordered the gardener to move the flower to another place and plant it again. He did not know that he also liked flowers.

Maybe tomorrow, he can run free.

[ The hex ]

Kindness: +20

Hex smiled even in this serious situation because his gentle steps were adorable. The princess wore bright clothes, matching the bright garden. She really looks like a fairy.

‘Decognies!’

As she got closer, the sweet scent of snacks instead of flowers tempted her this time.

[Erveldote Alderuan]

Mind: If endemic diseases spread significantly, problems may arise in the surrounding kingdoms on the west coast.

Snack was always on the table, but he rarely saw his father eat. More than that, it is strange to see there are always many types of snacks. Thanks to this, he could eat as much as he wanted.

While he was thinking hard, the Emperor subconsciously placed the abundant macaron plate towards the princess.

'Father's judgment is right!'

Siervian inwardly was shocked. In fact, according to the history books, endemic diseases not only afflicted the Kingdom of Garambell, but also most of the west coast during this period.

The kingdom was not destroyed like Garambell, but many people there suffered.

“Many people often visit Garambell whenever they visit west coast.”

As the Emperor thought of the entire continent, he was worried about the possible outcome of this.

"If an endemic disease spreads there, it can spread throughout the west coast ..."

He thought about how the most favorable environment for special fertilizers was on the beach where the wind blew well. Therefore, it was clear that if it was like his previous life, there might also be a setback back then in the production of Harmin tea.

"Your Majesty, hurricane season is also coming, so what should we do ..."

“Mm. It would be more efficient to aim for the next cultivation period rather than forcibly dispatching supplies immediately. ”

In his previous life, although there were medicinal herbs ready in the empire, the results were no different and the west coast became ruined. It's hurricane season.

The empire was located in the cold northern region of the continent, and they were caught in extreme snowstorms every year. Fortunately, because those cities were protected by magic circles.

"How much is expected cost inflation?"

“Cost is expected to increase more than threefold. This is because we have to increase the number of people who will be sent because the time is a bit difficult.”

It was a very bad time to move perishable items like medicinal plants in large quantities as the magic circle would work even harder at this time.

"Your Majesty, may I share my opinion on this matter?"

"Speak."

"In the last decade or so, the emergence of endemic diseases has gradually decreased in Garambell."

As Rector, he spoke very carefully.

“And even though the Kingdom of Garambell had requested it, they must have stockpiled some supplies for themselves.”

It was a very reasonable opinion that the chancellor had said, and it was in the interests of the empire.

"Yes. No matter how much fertilizer for Harmin they could trade, procuring herbs for them now would only benefit them and not the empire. ”

“It's true, sir. It is impolite to send a request directly to His Majesty and not the Marquis first. I can't believe they missed the person in charge directly. ”

And this is the political situation below that is not included in the history books.

"In addition, I can't let them weaken me and act as if they have control over the herbs."

The Emperor said this arrogantly while frowning, as if he found the entire situation unpleasant. Standing beside him, Hex read the Emperor's mood and gulped at the tension in the air.

“Tell Garambell that hurricane season is approaching, and we will give our help once it has passed. And tell them that in exchange, we will consider sending more potions than usual for the next envoy.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In fact, the Emperor's judgment was not wrong.

As Hex mentioned, the number of afflicted people who died from the disease has declined over the years in Garambell. The number was enough to indicate that the potion sent from the last envoy would be enough until the next envoy.

“Until this year.”

Siervian recalled, endemic diseases that had been well managed, suddenly flocked to plague this year.

Many scholars try to study the cause, but the exact facts have not been revealed.

'Surprisingly, all the members of the Royal Family died, but did they ever give medicine to people?'

Fearing a highly contagious endemic disease, the public has been reluctant to go to the west coast for a while. When the illness subsided a little and the empire sent people to find out the cause, it was already too late.

"Maybe now is the last chance to help."

Scholars say that if it were not for hurricane season, the empire would have been able to prevent the collapse of the kingdom.

If a decision cannot be made here to send aid due to hurricane season, the empire can immediately send additional support.

So many people died in just a few weeks.

“Why don't you eat more?”

When his daughter was deep in thought while biting the macaron, the Emperor wondered.

"Your Majesty."

And then the boy opened his lips to speak while still chewing the macaron. He wondered again. Does it not fit his taste?

"What's wrong?"

Looking at his warm eyes, Siervian pondered once more.

Since he wanted to come to the park as much as possible while he still could, he always stayed here as if he did not exist. But this time, he could not help but speak.

'People will…'

Only he knew that so many people in Garambell would die in the coming year. Not only that, even people all over the west coast would also be affected.

He thought of the countless lives placed on his father, the Emperor's shoulder. And now, that life was also on his shoulders.

"P-Pwease help them."

As ******* slow down, a weak plea came out of his lips. She wanted to cry because of the terrible situation, but she endured it.

“Hm? You mean Garambell?”

“Ya.”

But his voice was already shaking. It's not just a small task—what he's doing now is reversing the Emperor's decision.

'If we think of Harmin tea cultivation, this is also beneficial to the empire.'

And more than that, because he knew that many people would die, he could not just keep quiet.

Siervian was so nervous that he couldn't even let go of the macaron he was holding. He felt a soft macaron crumble at his fingertips.

"P-Daughter."

[ The hex ]

Mind: I know you didn't mean it! But what if His Majesty is angry!

Standing beside him, Hex's eyes grew as big as plates. He also knew the weight of trying to reverse the Emperor's decision.

Due to his reaction, Siervian grew even more frightened. He thought he was doing something unreasonable.

Suddenly, he recalled the day he was accused of treason.

'I'm scared.'

Countless thoughts swirled in his head. Meanwhile, what echoed throughout the garden were the Emperor's harsh words.

“Siervia. Do you know how much financial damage that decision would cause to the empire? ”
