Vol 15 Chapter 292 (1/2)

Ms Lianne

… Around the ti about flan

The source of this feud, who’d eaten three whole flans herself, Lianne had her pink hair tied back as she chewed on the end of a pen The pen’s tip bobbed up and down, a document before her eyes She dealt with papers off her massive pile one after the next

And as she speedread through it, confir its contents in an instant, she offered a word

“This one’s no good”

She searched for the nah countless pages every day, and it was a name she’d seen numerous tioods was inflating

Lianne had a general grasp of the prices, and she would overlook discrepancies to an extent It wasn’t guaranteed that every single civil officer knew the exact price, and there were times the price was raised for purchases They were in a hurry to gather goods together, so it was fine if they were overcharged a bit

However, clear fraud was a different issue

“Even to commit fraud, when it’s so clear, it’s an indication of their ability They’ll be a bother even if ork therunt, so… do you have a moment?”

Her office

Calling over a Valkyrie autoht tea, Lianne removed the pen from her mouth before she spoke

“We need to ements to station this person somewhere random”

As she handed the docu, the autoeneral just of the issue

“… Randoements”

And taking the next paper in hand, Lianne confir her approval

She continued processing them one after the next, but at times, her ould stop, and she’d think to herself

“… Clara-san, was it? Since she couldn’t get any funding fro the transport force is indispensable”

The document in her hands was from Clara It was also written that Adele had rejected it It was docu the unit formed to transport supplies Lianne quickly did the calculations in her head, and could say nothing other than that it would be difficult to procure the necessary funding

“Generally, we’d have to rely on tax yields We’re so with the treasures sucked up and offered from Beim”

The Valkyrie placed a cup of tea on the table

“Offered? I am sure the merchants intended it to be a loan, correct?”

“That’s irrelevant I plan to stick on some reasons to counterbalance Fro South Beihts to the ports… it would be troublesoiven Vera-san, was it? When he’s got a row soft But there are no ends to a merchant’s demands You have to keep them in order”

Lyle had given considerable favorable treatment to the merchants of South Beim, with Fidel as their representative But Lianne could only see it as soft

“Even if you’ve favors to theht nasty sides to hiet all the way here?”

Deter, Lianne hurriedly drafted up the forive orders to all the relevant offices, but she also started drafting one for Adele in Beim

The reason she’d stop all other work and go so far was because she had determined the transport unit’s optimization was an absolute necessity

Lowering the number of horses required meant that just as s Horses for cavalry Horses for agriculture, and other such uses could create some financial leisure

“Adele-san has to broaden her field of vision a bit more I’m sure she’d be fine on a feudal lord level, but perhaps it will be hard for her to et used to it”

Her work speed exceeded Lyle’s, and she processed them precisely

Now that Faunbeux was their ally, she was a necessary personal to Lyle’s party

However…

“… More ih flan for everyone to have one”

Without stopping her working hands, she ran her mouth and awaited a response from the Valkyrie in the room The monotone response was…

“On top of a battle over flan ownershi+p, that flan struck Aria on the face, it see in the corridor I have received a few reports from my sisters It’s the worst”

As she relayed the reports of the Valkyries in the castle, Lianne chuckled to herself

“Oh, how terrible While I did take a generous portion, I did properly leave three for three people Monica-san did say she uing about it is their own fault No, perhaps Shannon’s fault? When I left the room, she was on her second flan”

The Valkyrie asked her

“Do you hate ement, I do feel it a little impossible to ask you to love him”

Lianne made a bit of a perplexed face She took a sip of tea

“… I don’t hate hied once before, so I can’t change over to another man so skillfully Well, the seat of e oal”

Hearing the seat of empress, the Valkyrie tilted her head

“Is it really so appealing? From a woman’s point of view, is it not happiness to be able to marry the one you love?”

The Valkyrie was made with an automaton’s core at its base, and its perfection was based on the standards of the ancients Hearing that Valkyrie’s opinion, Lianne laughed

“You do have a point But nothing ever goes exactly as one hopes If I truly loved Lyle from the start… then I’d have done my best to move and eliminate all the other women”

The Valkyrie expressionlessly watched over Lianne’s laugh But perhaps Lianne felt she didn’t want to be misunderstood, as she offered a revision

“He was surrounded by women from the start What’s more, I personally am not particularly interested I’ll put soress Nothing I can do to speed it up Then at the very least, isn’t it fine if I set hts on the empress seat?”

There, the Valkyrie spoke

“… Is that hoorks? Very well, then this Valkyrie Unit Thirty Four shall do her best to facilitate the two of you Leave it toe as my master is happy, I did not really have interest in the others But it must be some sort of fate that I was stationed to serve at your side! I proet a step ahead of the other women… why not build a physical relation with him? I shall open the lock of my master’s bedroom for you”

Valkyrie… Thirty Four showed herblack hair bundled with a ribbon near its end, Unit Thirty Four expressionlessly lifted her clenched right fist towards the heavens

“… Eh?”

Seeing the Valkyrie like that, Lianne seeely confused…

But in each letter he wrote, ‘I’ll definitely bring back a present that will delight you’ Looking at the letter’s contents, it was easy to surmise that meant Lyle’s head

A knock came to his room
