Chapter 62 (2/2)

“And so for Evron Grand Duchy. I want Evron to have the power to develop itself.”

Having said that, he spoke as if making excuses.

“I couldn’t take the first step, so I only had big dreams.”

“No….. “

Artizea bit her lower lip and fell into thoughts.

The future Cedric sees is much farther away than he is, and his vision is much higher.

She realized it anew.

Cedric said.

“I’ve shown this to you, partly because I have nothing to hide from you, but also because I need advice. Tia, you said you were going to move for me?”

“Yes.”

“Then please help me.”

Artizea took a deep breath.

It will soon be half a year since she’s returned from the past and met him again.

This was the first time Cedric asked for anything.

It wasn’t until the first contract, when she was out of Milaira’s hands and Cedric had his Western Army’s ceremony that he had shown his will for.

Artizea closed her eyes for a moment.

The coordinator should fulfill the will of the master, and not try to fit the master into her frame.

[Marchioness of Rosan, do you see your judgment as absolute and Lawrence’s judgment not? If so, it would be natural that you were ousted.]

Cedric had said that in the past. Cedric was right. She didn’t believe much in Lawrence’s judgment.

She did everything for Lawrence, but Lawrence wasn’t a reliable person. It is even doubtful whether there is a philosophy for governance from the beginning.

But Cedric is different.

‘Because you are looking up.’

What he wants is not the seat of power itself, but what he can do on the spot.

So just because it’s her role to put Cedric in power, she shouldn’t hurt his will.

If this was what he wanted to do as an Emperor, then it was even more necessary.

Her heart pounded. She was excited.

It was the first time that there was a person in front of her who she could completely believe and follow.

“I wanted to see the Grand Duchy’s financial situation to fill the warehouse.”

“It’s important.”

Cedric answered plainly. Artizea said.

“Then I’ll try to use my hand on grain prices.”

“Tia.”

Cedric’s voice was mixed with criticism.

“Supporting Grand Duke Roygar is the focus of all circles and the great landowners of the fertile eastern region. They are largely involved in the requisition of supplies to the north.”

By average, there was a large amount of grain produced in the vast plains of the western region.

However, in the West, due to the monster wave, the annual yield varied greatly.

Nobles and landlords preferred to own land in the east rather than in the west. The west was run mainly by self-employed people.

The Imperial Family requisitioned the eastern landlords to compel grain.

Supplies sent to the north are the cost to protect the empire from Karam.

Nobody liked it. However, no one could reject it. Refusal was seen as a connection with Karam.

“If the price of the grain goes up, His Majesty will entrust the work to Grand Duke Roygar to facilitate the requisition, but Grand Duke Roygar is greedy, so it would be unfair to send the increased grain to the north for free.”

So Artizea touched it.

She had pirates pillage trade ships that exported grain to the southern kingdoms over the years.

At the same time, she freed the Marquisate of Rosan’s fortune and she bought a large amount of grain, and all the grain thus obtained was dumped into the sea.

There were dozens of fires in the West.

Grain prices skyrocketed. As expected, the Emperor entrusted Grand Duke Roygar with supplies to the north.

Just in time, in the southern part of the Eimel Kingdom, in order to meet the lack of wheat, they bribed Grand Duke Roygar and bought the requisitioned grain at a high price.

This was because the calculations were well-established for Grand Duke Roygar.

It was autumn. After a month or two, the empty warehouse could be refilled with freshly harvested wheat.

He then thought that he could go and send supplies.

But that year, Karam went South on a massive scale. Due to hunger, Evron was unable to protect the Thold Gate.

Karam almost broke through to the Elia Wall.

Indeed, it was the first time in a long time that the Empire was appalled.

The war ended within the winter of that year thanks to the success of Cedric, who defended his stronghold, and succeeded in killing the king of Karam.

However, Grand Duke Roygar took responsibility for the defeat. In the meantime, a secret agreement with the Eimel Kingdom was revealed.

Artizea was involved in the proposal of the agreement in the Eimel Kingdom. The agreement had been in her hands from the beginning.

Grand Duke Roygar was decapitated for treason.

She intended to use the same trick. Because it was a proven method.

But war had to be avoided. She already knew the year when the war would break out, so she could do that. In any case, a secret agreement is enough to cut the head of Grand Duke Roygar.

And in order to prevent Evron Grand Duchy from starvation, she planned to fill the warehouse in advance.
