Honestly, you can’t be sure of a character’s performance unless you see them using their abilities.

However, I wonder if there is any need to doubt its performance just because it is a new character.

The problem is that it will be very difficult to add Princess Haehwa to our unit.

Isn’t this character a representative of a minority group and a princess?

‘I wonder if it would be a good idea to let them study abroad.’

Meanwhile, ethnic minorities were the only citizens of the empire and received preferential treatment, such as not having to enlist in the military.

However, this was not because of the ethnic minorities, but because they were worried that they would steal the empire’s military management knowledge.

‘There would be nothing more unpleasant than inserting an enemy between allies.’

Since they had a bad relationship, they probably thought that minorities might attack the empire at any time.

‘In one word, my feet are numb because I committed a crime.’

In that regard, I thought I should ask Princess Mona if it would be a good idea to actively promote Princess Haehwa’s admission to the academy.

As Princess Haehwa is introduced as a new character, it may not be an entirely absurd idea.

-Eh? Where are we?

Princess Haehwa must have been surprised to wake up in an unexpected position, so her eyes widened and she muttered in a language I couldn’t understand.

‘What, the language is different?’

I didn’t know that ethnic minorities did not speak the imperial language.

Among the policies that the empire actively pursued when accepting refugees was having them learn the imperial language.

‘The emperors of the old empire were very smart.’

How many accidents would have occurred if people with different cultures suddenly had to live as citizens of the empire?

Unification of language was essential to smoothly integrate different cultures.

At least if you communicate in language, it becomes easier to understand each other.

‘Minorities hate the empire, so they probably didn’t like using the imperial language.’

But the situation was different for ethnic minorities.

They drew a line saying they would live among themselves rather than be integrated into the empire.

so.

‘It’s completely understandable to use a different language.’

Princess Haehwa tilted her head, then slowly walked away and left the general store.

I didn’t go out of my way to get her attention by pretending to be popular.

Wouldn’t it be troublesome if word got out that Haehwa, a minority princess, had suddenly appeared at the academy?

Hoping that Haehwa would return to his group safely, he opened the item window, satisfied with the quiet general store.

Now that you’ve summoned Princess Haehwa, isn’t it time to need unique equipment that goes well with her?

When purchasing the SSR character selection with mileage, you also purchased the unique equipment selection.

‘I don’t know what kind of personality Princess Haehwa has, but I don’t think she will act harshly even after seeing her unique equipment.’

What was needed to win Princess Haehwa’s favor was unique equipment.

As long as the unique equipment is in my hands, Princess Haehwa will not blindly hate me, a citizen of the empire.

“Princess Haehwa… .”

The Princess Haehwa I summoned quickly blended into the world.

Until now, there was no information about the representative of the ethnic minority, but when Princess Haehwa was summoned, the fact that she was the representative was immediately conveyed to the empire.

To be exact, it was information delivered from Princess Mona.

When the delegation led by Princess Haehwa arrived in the empire, Princess Mona also issued an order that the Sangdan representative come to meet her in person.

‘Normally, I would tell Erintina to leave… .’

Since it was necessary to become acquainted with Princess Haehwa, it was decided that I would be the representative of the upper management upon Princess Mona’s orders.

Princess Mona was focusing all her attention on welcoming Princess Haehwa.

They even sent someone to the top to explain in detail what they wanted us to do when we met Princess Haehwa.

Since this is our first transaction with an ethnic minority, we hope it goes well.

‘You are meticulous.’

Unlike Princess Mona, who was worried about meeting Princess Haehwa, I was relatively relaxed.

Don’t I have a weapon to kill Princess Haehwa because I like her?

In this way, the empire was in a situation where it had finished preparing to welcome the ethnic minorities and was waiting for them to arrive.

Squeak-thud.

The door to the general store opened, and someone came inside.

‘I need to oil it up a bit.’

When I heard an unpleasant sound coming from the door, I thought I needed to grease it, but I turned my head towards the door, and as soon as I saw the visitor, I froze in shock.

‘what? ‘Why are you still here?’

The visitor was none other than Princess Haehwa.

I never imagined that she would come into the general store out of nowhere.

“welcome.”

I couldn’t reveal that I knew her identity, so I greeted her with a calm expression, as if I were greeting an ordinary guest.

My heart was like, ‘Princess Haehwa, you shouldn’t be here.’ I wanted to say that, but I did.

“hello.”

Princess Haehwa may have been conscious of me, but she spoke the imperial language rather than the minority language quite well.

“Can I look at the item?”

“Sure.”

Princess Haehwa must have wanted to imitate the people of the empire, so she was wearing clumsy imperial clothes that she had purchased somewhere and goggles that could cover her eyes.

It seemed like he didn’t know that he was wearing very strange clothes.

Princess Haehwa began to look at the items on display in the general store very carefully and meticulously, as if she wasn’t lying when she said she wanted to look at things.

‘Did you find out in that short period of time that the products from our general store were going to ethnic minorities?’

Isn’t he quite resourceful?

It was impossible for Princess Haehwa to suddenly appear at the general store and look at the goods.

“These things.”

“yes.”

“Does it work as written here?”

“of course. “I can confirm for you, would you like to see it?”

“Is that okay?”

“Please follow me. “What do you want to see?”

“This and this… “This this this!!”

“… It looks like you want to see everything. All right.”

I gathered up my belongings and went out to the back of the general store with Princess Haehwa.

And he kindly confirmed the effect by using each item one by one.

“indeed!”

Clap clap clap!

“Hoo!!”

Clap clap clap!

“amazing!”

Clap clap clap!!

Princess Haehwa was satisfied with our product, applauding generously.

“There is no shortage of products from our general store no matter where we sell them.”

“you’re right. I have never seen anything like this.”

The soldiers of the empire barely fight off monsters by covering their bodies with these consumables.

However, ethnic minorities were dealing with monsters without these consumables.

‘Looking at things like that, it’s quite absurd that the empire consistently ignores ethnic minorities.’

Isn’t it because we know their abilities that we are deliberately ignoring them even more?

Princess Mona recognizes the potential of ethnic minorities and makes efforts to improve relations.

“How are you feeling?”

“I am very, very satisfied.”

“I’m glad you’re satisfied.”

“I’ve been to other grocery stores. Everything here is good. And the owner is friendly. It hasn’t been done like this anywhere else. “I told him to buy it no matter what.”

“It’s only natural to show this level of kindness to guests.”

“thank you. I want to buy a lot of things here. “Can I buy a lot of things here?”

“Of course it’s possible. But how much do you want to buy?”

I had already prepared everything with Princess Mona.

However, I became curious when Princess Haehwa said she would purchase more items separately.

At that time, Princess Haehwa took off her goggles.

As her odd eyes were revealed, clear evidence that she was an ethnic minority appeared before her eyes.

“As you can see, I am not a citizen of the empire. “They are an ethnic minority.”

“ah… !”

“We are here to buy imperial goods.”

“yes. I know. “Work with ethnic minorities is something the empire is watching with interest.”

He answered with a hint of embarrassment, as if he had just found out.

“I want to buy something here.”

It seems that Princess Haehwa just wandered around the general store without knowing who I was, checking the condition of the items.

Minorities are not stupid, so they must have known that they should not be trusted to do business with the imperial palace.

“The prices here are cheap and the products are good. We brought a lot of wealth. “I will ask the imperial palace to buy a lot of goods from here.”

“ah… .”

I said while thinking about how to react.

“I understand that the imperial family is arranging the deal.”

“We do not trust the imperial family. They hate us, and we know they can’t give us anything good. “We will choose what we will use.”

If it were not Princess Mona who was in charge of work with ethnic minorities, Princess Haehwa’s actions would have been very wise.

“I completely understand what you were thinking and acting like this. However, acting in this way is disrespectful to the imperial family. “It’s also very disrespectful to Princess Mona, who represented us.”

“For us it is a matter of life and death. “I can’t trust the imperial family.”

“You are the one who asked for help. “We are accepting requests.”

“So you’re refusing?”

“No, I’m just saying there was no need to do this. “The items we will be trading with you this time are items from our general store.”

“!!!”

Princess Haehwa widened her eyes as if she hadn’t even thought about that.

“This item? “Is it the same?”

“yes. “It’s the same thing.”

For reference, the potion made by Yul is also included.

There will be no defects in the goods sent to ethnic minorities, and the prices will be reasonable.

Princess Mona carefully checked each and every detail, so there was no way something untoward could have happened.

“… I didn’t know. “It must be something from here.”

“As you saw today, our products are the best in the empire. That’s why our band was chosen by Princess Mona.”

Even before Princess Mona’s feelings were conveyed, the minority group tried to pick on other people’s pockets.

It was evidence of distrust of the empire, and Princess Mona would be quite heartbroken if this fact became known.

“Princess Mona considers this transaction as the beginning of reconciliation and is paying great attention to it.”

“… I’m sorry.”

“You don’t need to apologize to me. All you have to do is sell the items you sell. However, I am worried about how I will convey today’s events to Princess Mona.”

“Can’t it be a secret?”

“well.”

I frowned slightly as if I was worried.

Is there any reason to grant this favor for free?

I thought it would be a good idea to leave a debt to Princess Haehwa for this incident.
