Chapter 218 (2/2)

Even though she’s just 14 years old child, Beatrice-chan is a n.o.ble daughter . She should’ve been taught to prioritize the safety of her own family, the well-being of the territory folks, and the stability of the country over her own wishes . …of course, there are many n.o.bles who do not adhere to such morals, but Beatrice-chan isn’t that kind of child .

That’s why the clever Beatrice-chan can’t argue against my words because she understood what I said…

However, she’s not mature enough to accept the fact that she’s not allowed to do what Colette-chan and Sabine-chan allowed to . So it can’t be helped if she’s sulking over it .

I guess I have to think about how to fix her mood later .

And for now, let’s just leave Beatrice-chan, who turned her back on me, alone…

Although one of the wagons had a broken axle due to overload, and there were other minor problems, we arrived at the royal capital as scheduled .

The attempt to shorten the schedule by one day was successful, but of course, this increased the travel time per day and the burden on horses and humans . After that, whether to use the same schedule as this time or return to use the old one, it will be decided based on everyone’s opinions .

However, since the escorts are paid per day, they’re losing income on top of the increased burden, so this schedule is definitely unpopular among them…

The transport corps was temporarily dissolved in the central square . Since it’s a consortium of multiple merchants, each one of them will conduct separate commercial activities from this point on .

And when it’s time for them to return, they will gather here to form the convoy again . Of course, they will not return empty-handed; they will return carrying goods purchased in the royal capital .

Ah, some of the products we brought will be delivered to Pez-san’s store . I don’t want to neglect the interest of our territory’s purveyor .

It is only natural for the [early contributor] who helped us from the time before it was known that the territory is related to the [Himemiko of Thunder] to have some kind of convenience .

There is no way I can give those who came to me after they knew that the new lord was the [Himemiko of Thunder] the same treatment . Same for those who came after they confirmed that the development of my territory is steadily progressing with various industrial reforms .

…that might be the reason that the merchants in the transport corps seemed to be avoiding me, even though they were trying hard to court Beatrice-chan’s favor .
