Not Your Perfect Prince
Trying To Recruit Heroine?

"Eh? Why are you crying all of a sudden???"

Seeing the tears that suddenly flowed down her cheeks, Hilda was shocked to death. He's feeling a little confused. Looking left and right, the girl did not see anyone else she could question.

Wiping away her tears, Maria smiled gently.

"I ... I'm very happy. Thank you very much, Hilda!"

"Huh?! Are you crying because you are happy? Are you a child?"

Seeing that Maria was fine, Hilda was immediately angry.

"Hehehe ... Pardon me! How about tomorrow when we get to town we shop for groceries together? When I go to the mountains, I'll cook for you.

Don'worry. I'm pretty confident in my cooking."

"At least buy me at the best restaurant tomorrow. Just in a small town, a few gold coins would have been enough." Hilda grinning.

"K-Gold coins!" Maria dumbfounded. He then played with his finger, looking quite panicked and confused. "Annu ... I ..."

"I'm just kidding, you idiot! I know your condition, so it won't force you to do such things.

Make sure to cook a good one because I'm pretty hard at criticizing the food!" hilda said with a smile on her face.

"Dwelling ... So so ..." Maria wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"By the way about food, you know the ingredients that Prince Reinhart used earlier?"

"Yes? Rosemary, garlic, butter, meat—"

"That's not what I mean."

"Eh? Then?"

"the price. The items Prince Reinhart bought from the previous city were still fresh and of good quality. If I don't guess wrong, the price of meat is ..."

Hilda began to mention the price of the ingredients Reinhart used for cooking. Every time the girl mentioned the price, Maria felt that there was the sound of a coin clattering in her ear. His head felt a little dizzy ...

It was truly unexpected that the cost of one Reinhart meal could be so terrifying!

"Of course, there are many materials that cannot be bought and are very valuable. It is expensive and not available in the market.

There are things that only adventurers can get. A gift from nature for their courage."

A calm voice came into their conversation.

Maria and Hilda turned their heads, looking at the figure of Reinhart who was standing not far from them.

"Prince Reinhart!" say they're in unison.

Seeing the two about to get up, Reinhart immediately said, "There's no need to be so polite. Just sit down."

"Well!" hilda said with a nervous tone. Even his face was a little red.

Seeing that, Maria felt somewhat confused. He then looked towards Reinhart and said, "I think you've slept, Prince Reinhart."

"You guys talk so passionately. I couldn't sleep" Reinhart said, half-jokingly.

Maria and Hilda looked nervous, seemingly taking Reinhart's words seriously.

"May I sit down?" ask Reinhart.

"S-Please!" answer Hilda.

"Thank you."

Reinhart then sat on the other side of the bonfire. He then returned to talking.

"You guys were talking about materials, right?"

"Yes, Prince." Maria nodded.

"Perhaps the materials from the farmed magical beasts were expensive and considered a premium item. However, it can still be obtained with money.

I mean ... not too much money.

There are also some valuable materials. For example, there are fish in the northern sea waters of the Silver Moon Kingdom that only appear in winter. It is the size of an adult's thigh, has silver scales and shimmers when exposed to light rays.

Do you know the price? As a citizen of the Silver Moon Kingdom, perhaps you know, Hilda?"

"S-A hundred gold coins!" exclaimed Maria who almost choked on her saliva.

"Yes. It's that expensive." Reinhart nodded. "Their numbers are many, but not many catch them."

"Eh? Why???" mary asked with a confused expression.

"Because it's dangerous." Hilda said seriously. "To get to the location, the person had to pass through dangerous mountains and pine forests. Even after getting there, that person had to deal with the extremely cold sea water and the many ferocious magic beasts inside."

"..."

Maria remained silent. Of course, he knew how important life was compared to money.

"There are also some good quality items with not so high prices. An example is the typical drink of the small town where you came from, Maria.

The price is not very high for most consumers, but the amount that can be produced is not much. Although not so dangerous, the season in which the best honey from hundreds of different flowers can be harvested and made a drink in the spring.

Although there are drinks made in the summer and fall, but the best and most valuable is the steeping in the spring."

Hearing Reinhart's words, Hilda looked at Maria in surprise. Just then, the silver-haired prince's voice came back.

"If you don't rush home, you can visit there on summer vacation. Isn't that right, Maria?"

"Yes! Although not a big city, but the location is surrounded by a very large land full of flowers. I think my hometown is beautiful! I can show you, Hilda."

Mary spoke with great enthusiasm.

Seeing the story smile on Maria's face, Hilda was stunned for a moment. He then shook lightly.

"If I have the chance, I'll come."

"Good!" said Maria.

"Just, I'm a little curious. May I ask you, Prince Reinhart?" ask Hilda.

"Say," Reinhart replied.

"It seems ... You and Maria are very close? Can I know the reason?"

Hearing the question, Reinhart and Maria looked at each other. The young man then nodded lightly before saying.

"Actually, the reason why Maria applied to the academy was my invitation. I also recommend it.

As for how we know, let Mary herself tell it."

After receiving Reinhart's reply, Hilda looked towards Maria.

The girl was initially nervous. He took a deep breath before starting to tell her everything.

Finished hearing Maria's story, Hilda looked towards the girl with a gentle smile on her face.

"You're really amazing, Maria."

Hilda's words made Maria feel happy. The girl scratched the back of her head with a timid smile.

"I didn't think there was such a story, Prince Reinhart. You're really good, a figure who deserves to be crown prince. The next Silver Moon Kingdom King!

By the way, do you intend to recruit Maria after her graduation, Prince?"

"Eh? Recruiting me?" maria asked confused.

"Yes. Although not much, but sometimes there are some ordinary people who have magic talent. Those who could obtain scholarships and graduate from magic academies would usually be recruited by nobles.

Of course, for those who are confident, they choose to become adventurers. While not, they work for nobles and get wages in the form of money and training materials in the form of tools, plants, potions, or things that help other witches.

The payment itself is different depending on the contract. While the contract is usually determined by how great the magician is. The stronger and more skilled, the more expensive the pay will be."

Hearing Hilda's words, Mary's eyes sparkled.

Meanwhile, Reinhart looked at the girl with a strange expression. He even felt that Hilda had too bold a thought.

'The recruit of the Holy Witch who will always face various crimes and disasters?'

'Ahahaha! The joke is a little dark."

'I don't want a dragon to suddenly descend on the capital of the Silver Moon Kingdom and annihilate my people. So sorry ... I refuse!'
