“Hehe, what do you think? “Isn’t it better to look around with guidance than when you looked around on your own?”

Three hours had passed since I started receiving her guidance.

I mechanically nodded my head in response to the question that Princess Mona, full of pride, answered.

What are you saying here?

Considering my status, I can’t say it wasn’t fun, but the guidance she gave was actually quite interesting.

One of the explanations was really surprising, perhaps because it was related to the ability.

In fact, if you were a visitor who really wanted to enjoy the museum, the guidance provided by the princess herself would have been good enough to make you want to give a tip.

Of course, a decent amount of tips would not be enough to satisfy the princess.

“yes. “It was a meaningful time to learn about the deep history of the empire.”

The princess had tremendous knowledge about the history of the empire.

She explains various behind-the-scenes stories and details related to the objects in a delicious way. If you didn’t know that she was a princess, you would have mistaken her for a professional museum docent.

“Hehe! Come again next time you remember. Well, you won’t be able to receive my guidance then. “You understand that this experience can’t happen twice, right?”

“Of course, princess.”

“When you come back, don’t wander around alone again. Be sure to get a guide assigned to you.”

“Yes, I will.”

“I’m sure you feel that you don’t need a guide for nothing, right?”

“of course.”

After receiving confirmation several times, Princess Mona smiled in satisfaction as if she liked it.

I finally decided to add one thing.

“If the princess had not helped me, I would have gone back without experiencing the real thing about the museum. thank you.”

“Hehehe!”

The princess’s nostrils flared at my well-spoken praise.

Princess Mona was particularly weak to praise.

I know very well that I am good, but I like others to recognize that good side.

In a word, Princess Mona was a ‘official servant.’

“What is your name?”

This is a bit surprising.

The fact that Princess Mona asked my name meant that she liked me.

It’s not like you can build a great connection with Princess Mona just by asking her name.

But it meant that he would at least remember my face when we met again later.

“This is Suhan.”

“I am Princess Mona.”

“It’s an honor, princess.”

“I liked the way you listened to the explanation. Unfortunately, nobles are not interested in history. I don’t think I even know why I need to know history. I like to use too much effort. That’s all because it sounds like a military movie. “It’s important to fight against monsters, but shouldn’t people know history and learn the wisdom of their past ancestors?”

“You are correct.”

Unlike other nobles who valued developing strength, Princess Mona considered developing wisdom more important.

And this trend will become more severe in the future.

Since the contaminated zone would begin to move again, it was right for the nobles to seek power to prevent it.

However, if you pursue too much power, you may neglect to acquire wisdom.

Princess Mona was wary of that.

Knowledge and wisdom were also important to the nobles and they should not lose their will to learn.

“It was nice meeting you.”

After finishing the tour and saying a full word, Princess Mona let me go without any hesitation.

There wasn’t a single gap in sight during the 3-hour long tour.

After I was finally released by Princess Mona, I was hit with a deep, powerful feeling that I had not felt because I was so distracted.

“But thanks to Princess Mona, I think I prevented myself from having a mental breakdown… .”

What would have happened if Princess Mona had not called me at that time to show me around?

What if you returned to the general store alone and kept thinking about the museum changing?

The price of seeing something you shouldn’t have seen is terrible.

I felt like my head was pounding and my stomach was pounding again, so I decided to stop thinking about it.

“Whoa.”

Maybe the pain you feel in your body is a warning not to keep thinking about it.

I don’t know if it was a warning or something, but it was definitely bad for my health, so I decided not to think about it any further.

Even if I think about it, it won’t help me in my current reality.

After leaving the museum, I went straight to the general store and searched the warehouse.

‘I think I took good care of it.’

It was an item I obtained when I went to Shine’s family warehouse.

I have a few treasures that I have kept because no one but me seems to know the value of the items.

The object I am currently looking for is the ‘Princess’s Music Box’, which was among the objects that had been buried in a corner without being recognized for its true value.

A music box that the first emperor gave as a gift to his beloved granddaughter.

The music box contained the image of the imperial palace as it was.

Of course, if you compare it in detail with the current appearance of the imperial palace, it will be different.

‘As time passed, the imperial palace was renovated and new buildings were built.’

That is why the value of this item is bound to be high.

The very beginning of the empire.

The most original state of the imperial palace is contained within this music box.

Additionally, there is no way that the gift the first emperor gave his granddaughter was cheaply made.

Although it is damaged and dusty due to poor storage, the value of this item does not change significantly.

“What if I give this to Princess Mona?”

It was an item with enough value to be placed in a museum.

There are many nobles who offer precious treasures as bribes in order to attract her attention, but no bribe would attract Princess Mona’s interest as much as this item.

“Before that, we need to make it a little clean.”

It is now in such a state that you can immediately tell that it has been stored in an abandoned warehouse.

I carefully removed the dust and wiped it with a soft, soft microfiber cloth.

After putting so much effort and effort into it for a long time, I created a music box that was quite cute.

“Let’s go back to where we were.”

The original location for this item is Princess Mona’s museum.

Being displayed in a museum meant that these were items that Princess Mona was very fond of, and since I remembered that these items were on display in the museum in the game, I had no doubt that they would be a bribe that would definitely make a mark.

For various reasons, he succeeded in selecting Princess Mona, but it was impossible to immediately make her a friend of Yul.

A connection had to be established between Yul and Princess Mona, but Princess Mona was a hugely popular person at the academy.

Children from high-ranking nobles were occupying Princess Mona’s left and right arms, so even if Yul tried to ask them to become friends, it wouldn’t work.

‘Princess Mona must show interest in Yul first.’

Only then will the two of you be able to become friends without any problems.

And I had quite a few items that could interest Princess Mona.

‘One is a music box, the other is unique equipment.’

Princess Mona was not a person who disliked becoming stronger.

In order for her to fight for succession in the future, she needed some level of strength.

Isn’t this a world where power becomes power?

‘If Princess Mona is confident that she will survive, there is no better place to build her reputation than Thalia’s unit.’

Because it was rare for a member of the royal family to lead by example, he would be able to gain support from the nobility and the people, and joining our unit would be like building a network with geniuses who would lead the next generation.

There is nothing bad about joining our unit.

If you are aiming for the throne, joining our unit will be something you cannot refuse.

‘Actually, even if we don’t do that, Princess Mona has no choice but to ascend to the throne.’

The nobles know best that the royal family is in a state of no response.

Aren’t you picky about the plants in your greenhouse?

There must have been a lot of sighing when looking at these people who only know how to give orders to someone but do nothing at all as members of the royal family.

In the midst of all this, Princess Mona, who had a fairly sane mind, suddenly popped out, so there was no way the nobles wouldn’t pay close attention.

Even a noble suffering from insensitivity to safety would feel that he had no other answer than Princess Mona while looking at other royal family members.

Until now, it didn’t matter much even if there was an emperor like the current emperor who lived without his own opinions and just went along with what the nobles told him to do.

‘From now on, Princess Mona must firmly control the palace and prevent any modifications.’

But things will change from now on.

Isn’t it a situation where we have to go into full-scale war with the monsters that came out of the contaminated zone?

This is a situation where the leadership’s brains need to work better than anyone else’s.

Just like on the battlefield, no matter how hard a general tries, if his superiors are incompetent, the whole thing will be ruined.

While I was distracted for a moment by Princess Mona.

Yul was in trouble because of his friend at the academy.

There were so base and vicious rumors going around.

“I know you’re spreading rumors.”

I tried to ignore it as much as possible, but this rumor was so malicious and serious that I couldn’t just leave it alone.

“what?”

“You said you were the culprit. “I came after hearing about it.”

“What does he say?”

My friend was always hanging out with other kids, so it wasn’t easy to talk to him when he was alone.

“Hehe, you’re friends with him.”

“You broke up with me?”

“… I’m sorry, but could you please leave my seat for a moment? “I think we need to talk about it among ourselves.”

“Hey, what are you, calling my friend Waragara? it’s okay. “You don’t have to go.”

“no. “We’ll be over there for a moment.”

“That’s right, let’s talk.”

“It seems like there is something you two need to resolve, so I think it would be best to get it over with.”

Surprisingly, he was not particularly offended and left the room.

In the end, when I was left alone with my friend, I felt much more at ease.

I didn’t want to fight with my friend while other people were watching.

Only after everyone around me had disappeared did I tell my friend about my business.

“Please stop spreading strange rumors.”

“rumor? Ah~ That? How can that be a rumor? “It’s true.”

“You’re telling me ridiculous lies and making me look like a weird person.”

What was even more shocking was that he was the center of the rumor.

I was embarrassed and angry about what had happened, so I looked for the source and was able to easily find out who started the rumor.

The woman right in front of him, whom he once thought of as a friend, was the source of the rumor.
