Milimos Saga – The Reincarnation Chronicle of the Youngest Prince. C80

Chapter 80: During the break

Once the lord of the Ambitose region was decided, we decided to take a short break.

This is because in order to prevent Salkajimo from exploding his dissatisfaction, it was decided that he would be persuaded through a three-way meeting with King Chorex and Duke Avkoro.

Giberde sat down on a chair in the antechamber, looking exhausted, and Giberde took care of him. Princess Palvera sits in another chair, and her family stands behind her like her bodyguards.

While the women were taking a break, I met Vishka and Duerefa.

"Congratulations on your appointment as lord. Brother Vishka."

"Thank you. To be honest, I feel like Milimos has forced me into trouble."

Duerefa smiles at Vishka, who looks worried.

"Don't worry. Our country, Sposato, will spare no effort in supporting Vishka-dono."

"I appreciate your request, but I don't think it's a good idea to obtain loans from other countries."

As a lord, it is natural for Vishka to be wary of the intentions of her neighboring country.

However, if you think too much about lending and borrowing, you won't be able to survive as a feudal lord.

"Brother Vishika. I don't think you need to worry about Sposato's country coming up with any tricks."

“These are surprising words for Milimos, who is so well prepared.Why?”

``This is because Sister Solerina's life depends on the country of Sposato.Since she is a sister who cares for her younger brother, even if the country of Sposato and the Ambitose region are planning to develop together, there is a policy that only the Ambitose region will suffer. I think it will destroy it.”

The person I asked for consent was Duerefa.

"That's right. Acoustic imitations that prey on others are what Solerina hates the most. I don't think the leaders of the Sposato country will go out of control."

“Does Sister Solerina have that much power in the country of Sposato? I heard that Ms. Duelefa is a government official. Even though she is his wife?”

"Prince Vishika's concerns are understandable. However, Solerina is in a position to organize the women of Sposato. And women are full of gossip. Among those rumors, There are secrets that the leaders don't want revealed."

In other words, Solerina seems to be in a position where she can take advantage of the weaknesses of the people living in Sposato country.

Normally, the person who holds her secret would be assassinated, but Solerina's fairness - her personality of not disclosing her secrets - ensures her safety. It seems that it has been done.

``Also, even if it's not allowed to do something that enriches one's private clothes, Solerina will tolerate devious tricks to make the country rich.And if the country gets rich, the money that goes into the pockets of the leaders becomes ``legal.'' If that is the case, the consensus is that rather than eliminate the Solerinas who demonstrate their skills in running the country, we should make full use of them to enrich the country and make everyone wealthy.''

Solerina's opinion is definitely for the sake of enriching the country of Sposato. In other words, if Solerina decided to provide aid to Visica, it would definitely lead to the development of Sposato country.

It was Duerefa's opinion that the leaders of Sposato country should think so.

I thought Vishka's anxiety would have eased once she realized that it was a mutually beneficial deal, but it seems that was not the case.

``I feel like I'm dancing on the palm of my sorelina girlfriend's sister, so it's not fun.''

Vishika's murmurings sounded more like a child dissatisfied with her parents deciding things for her than the pride of her lord.

Now that she's become the lord of the lord, it's only natural that she wants to take charge of her own affairs.

Even though I understood that, I decided to give Vishka some advice.

"You don't have to rely only on the country of Sposato. My Rocha region is also adjacent to it, so you can ask for help here as well."

"It's only been half a year since Milimos became a lord. Isn't it difficult?"

"Don't worry. We owe a huge amount of debt to the Empire, so just a little increase in aid to the Ambitose region won't change anything. Besides, the economy is improving, so we have a good chance of paying back the debt. I have it.”

Hearing my words, Vishka pretended to be worried, then made a gesture to relax his shoulders.

"I don't know anything about the desert or the lord's work. So I'll ask for help from both."

“As a fellow lord, I will help Brother Vishika.”

“As a neighboring country, and as a blood relative through Sorelina, I would like to help you.”

In this way, although not officially, an alliance was formed between the three regions.

“Okay, now that we have settled the matter, I would like to talk to Brother Vishka about the transportation work of white sand in the Ambitose area.”

"Please wait, Prince Milimos. I think the first thing to do is to tell Prince Vishka about the situation in other desert regions."

“Even if we talk about the situation in the desert, the only countries that have properly formed themselves are Ambitose and Sposato, and the area south of that is only populated by people who move around in villages like nomads. Did you hear that?”

When I was working to pacify the Ambitose region, a desert village on the southern edge of the territory asked for independence. As a result, that village lost its independence. However, additional research revealed that there are many people living far away from the country in the vast desert.

Duerefa nods in agreement.

"What Prince Milimos said is correct. However, the work they are responsible for cannot be ignored."

“Isn’t the job of the desert people just to defeat monsters and sell their leather and meat?”

"That's the difference. The knowledge of these people who travel and live in the desert is very necessary for trade."

“Desert trade?”

That word reminded me of the ``Silk Road,'' a land trade route that transported valuable goods from China to Central Asia, which I learned about in world history in my previous life.

The Silk Road is a trade route created in the desert, and is a way to transport valuable goods and earn huge amounts of wealth.

When you think about it that way, it was certainly an element that couldn't be ignored.

Vishka seemed to realize that I was interested, and the two of us tried to hear more details from Duerefa.

But before that, the break came to an end. A person in charge of conveying the king's words entered the rest room.

"The discussion between King Chorex, the Prime Minister, and Prince Salkajimo has ended. Everyone, please return to the throne room."

　The story came later.

Feeling a little disappointed about that, I left Vishka and Duelefa and headed to Giberde, whose complexion had improved a bit after resting.

“I just finished showing my face to King Chorex, so if you don’t feel well, you can just rest. I’ll tell King Chorex.”

I said it out of kindness, but Giberde didn't seem to take it that way.

"Don't underestimate the desert woman."

She suddenly turned her head away, stood up, and tried to walk past me and leave the room. Although he seemed to be feeling unwell until just now, he was walking steadily.

Atenza bowed to me with an ``sorry'' look on her face, and hurriedly chased after Giberde. Judging by his panic, it seems that Giverde's health has not recovered.

As I was watching the two of them go, Princess Palbella and Familis approached me.

"Mirimos-kun. Let's forget about that rude person and go to the throne room."

"I'd like to warn you that it's not a good idea to get too friendly with the hostages."

As I followed the invitation and left the rest room together, I didn't really understand why the two of them were saying things like that.

As I was walking down the hallway, I thought about it, but in the end I came up with the idea that I don't really understand how women should be treated.
