Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 123: Towards the Randall Territory (again)
"Lia, I'm going to Randall's territory for a while. You don't mind giving me a little time off?" lia's hand that she was using to sign some documents suddenly stopped.His gaze that had been focused on her work was also suddenly directed at me.hmm? is that a shocking thing?
"is there a matter so urgent that you have to go there?" Lia asked like that while taking off her glasses and drinking her tea. eh, I felt the atmosphere become very strange here.
"well, I want to supervise the training that the would-be knights that we recruited happen to be, because I know a good, spacious, and cheap land in my father's territory, by chance, so all of you made a training ground.by the way, didn't Lia already read the documents I made right? I've written it, you know, along with some letters that are proof of transactions with landowners and letters that contain permission to set up a training place to father."
Lia instead avoided that question when I asked. oh at most in forgotten so I asked her again. "so how, your highness the princess, do you allow me to go?" Lia remains non-commitment. e-ehh ja-so what is this? why is the atmosphere getting awkward? and also, why do I see such a strange aura behind him!?
"Whatever." Lia's answer was short, dense, clear, but somehow pierced.hehhh...how is this.he was clearly upset.well, then why not use the trick alone.
"If you want, of course Lia can come with me. The work problem, just solve it there. Of course, I will also still help Lia." this time Lia looked at me with a sparkling gaze. eh it turned out like that!? if you want to come, why not just tell me from the beginning? yeah-hahh I think the contents of a woman's head are hard to guess.
"W-do I really get to come!" I nodded. "there's no problem. Then we'll leave for three more days. Take it easy, I'll take care of the licensing from the academy."
well because Lia looks so happy so I think the problem is over. Stay before I leave, there are some things I have to take care of first.

to keep them from being disappointed, I gave them a ring to Anna and my twin sister. While Lili and Via I gave the necklace.it was the work of one of the most prominent jewelers in the capital. and luckily, he's a VIESTA agent. Hey, that doesn't mean I asked him for a discount okay! but just imagine, you know for yourself that nobles need something prestigious to strengthen their power? of course, one of them is through the jewelry they wear.
I got a lot of important information from that craftsman and his employees.well, those nobles often flouted telling important things to people they considered inferior to them.well, maybe they think that the information will also not be useful to them. at most it is only considered to confide.
though of course it is not like that. the craftsman forwarded the information to the headquarters and we immediately archived it. I have not told it anyway, but we are also often involved in buying and selling information. whether it is sold directly through our informant network or through the Dark Guild network depends on how important the information is.
well, back to the main topic, they are very happy when receiving the gift.okay, it is not a gift to bribe them so as not to be sad.there is such intention but most importantly, it is not a gift to bribe them, both jewels I've installed magic that can protect them if an emergency occurs. Well, as a man, I don't want them to be touched by anyone else but me. yeah, I don't want them to, I am possessive anyway.
I also promised them to bring souvenirs from Randall when returning from there. huhhh...in this way my business with them has been resolved. Now, just take care of Lia's licensing, just to take care of Lia, food supply for five days and three people, as well.eh! apparently there are many! hahh, alright! complaining won't produce anything so let's get this over with.
the day passed and the time for me to leave had arrived. Like yesterday, it was likely that I and Lia would reach Randall's territory within five days.but since the weather was clear and the rain did not fall, it was likely that I and Lia would reach Randall's territory within five days, I'm sure the ground will be fine, plus the performance of my horse-drawn carriage that is getting better, I think we will convey there in four days.
I led Lia on a new ride after that I got into the horse-drawn carriage. With this, our journey to Randall County, began for the umpteenth time.
