Chapter 63 (1/2)

Surprised by the appearance of the castle, the merchants showed astonished expression again as they entered the castle.

To the various furnitures, no, everyone was astonished at the stunning decorations.

「What a splendid elaborateness…Who made it?」

No, those are designed by a famous electronics manufacturer.

「This is a stunning statue…!? Th-this life size statue, by chance, is it made of mithril!?」

「Oh, you have a vulgar taste? That can be modified as an armor.」

「Na!? That simple…!?」

We walked in the hallway chatting like that.

We had a formal audience at the throne room then have dinner with everyone in the dining room.

My subordinates are about 15 excluding some production members and maid troops. The merchants at the dining room are about 21 people including escorts and slaves. By the way, there are exactly 40 of us in the dining room because Brunhilde's party are partic.i.p.ating too.

「No, I was truly surprised. There is no such splendid castle in the east and west even in the ancient times. The foods are also delicious and I have never eaten something like this before. 」

「If I have to add one more thing, there are only beautiful people here.」

Vian added those words to the line of Kubido.

Kubido accepts those words and smiles instinctively.

「Hahaha! Certainly certainly. There are only beautiful one's here. At first, I thought His Majesty and everyone else were elves.」

Kubido says so in good spirits and puts the distilled liquor into his mouth.

The merchants occasionally talk to each other but they only talk about business.

「Yo-Your Majesty! How did you make this liquor…」

「Your Majesty, I have never eaten a meat like this which overflows with taste…」

「Yo-Your Majesty! There is no way that this candle holder is mi-mith…」

It was so exhausting to answer all their questions. When I thought that I should concentrate on the meal, Vian opened her mouth as if she had waited for the right timing.

「Everyone? His majesty cannot eat properly. Surely, you have never been to such a place. Normally, you should be a little more modest.」

To the polite but poignant words of Vian, the pandemonium of merchants shuts down.

「But as you say, it’s a really good meal. Nee, Kubido-san?」

When Vian says so, Kubid smiles lightly and nods.

「That’s exactly right. We’ll talk about business again tomorrow. Let's not be rude to this wonderful dish. No, it’s really delicious.」

The two of them smile and say so. They are really distinct compared to other merchants.

I want this two to run the merchant guild in my country by all means.

I kept eating while thinking about it in my head.
