Chapter 179 (1/2)

179. Confusion 4

…am I serious about the war, you ask?

No, our country and this country are already in a state of war.

And this time, separately, my own [Yamano Kingdom] (population: 1 person) also started a war.

Capture the warships, seize the resource and commodities…

Yeah, it might be delicious.

I wonder if I can get a letter of marquee from my king. Just in case…

”…wait, please wait!” (the King)

When I reached the front of the door, I heard a call from the King, breaking through the silence.

However, since he's just saying the same thing as before, I completely ignored him. The guards in charge of opening and closing the door doesn't move either, so I tried to open it myself, and…

”No! I'm asking you to listen, not ordering you not to move! Sorry, it was bad! I take everything back! So, listen!” (the King)

I'm surprised!

No way would a king apologize in front of the va.s.sal to a foreign n.o.ble, no matter how much he thinks I were a member of the royal family!

The va.s.sals and guards are also surprised.

So he does have enough selflessness  required to be a king. Is this the so-called [I'm the king. I'm a member of the royal family…]?

Well, it'll leave a bad aftertaste if I were to continue withdrawing even though he admitted his mistake. I don't want to leave the country because I had a fight with the king either. If possible, I would like to stay here as it is.

If I move my base to another country, all the personal connections and business routes I have built up to now will be coming to nought and going back to square one, and the product store … well, that's a lease, so there's no problem.

Of course, I was going to withdraw all my bank account money, buy gold bullions and leave the country, or buy it later through the Rephilia trade. Well, Rephilia would have to wait until various preparations are complete before she could abscond the country…

If the account were frozen, of course, I was going to get it back in gold ingots. From both the bank and the Royal Palace's treasury, including penalties.

…since I won't leave a small note or a calling card with cat pattern on it, the fact that I voluntarily recovered the a.s.sets I deposited in this country wouldn't be exposed. It's going to be a fuss about a mysterious great phantom thief. (Note: the small note is reference, and the cat card is Cat's eyes reference.)

Well, it takes time, but starting over in another country is not that hard to be honest. I could even do better next time because I just have to repeat what I already did once. …but what makes me reluctant to leave is…
