Princess Mona said she would step forward, so it would be okay to trust and wait, but I wanted to try a method here that would increase the possibility of persuading the emperor even a little.

“If things continue like this, it won’t be easy to get permission. How about using a bribe?”

“Bribe your Majesty?”

Princess Mona said in bewilderment, perhaps because it was absurd to ask someone else to bribe the Emperor.

“How can I use a bribe when I have nothing right now?”

How easy would it be to bribe an emperor who, it is no exaggeration to say, owned the world?

He was a person who would not be shaken unless it was something very precious.

“I think I can prepare a small gift for Your Majesty.”

There was something in my possession that might interest the Emperor.

※ ※ ※

The store sells a variety of things.

Ever since I was no longer short on money, I have been buying everything that stores sell at special prices.

I didn’t know how I would need it in the future, and I thought that if I bought something from a store, there would be a time when I would use it for something later.

So currently, my item window was full of various miscellaneous items.

‘This is exactly what the emperor would like.’

Among the miscellaneous items, there was one that the emperor might be interested in.

What would an emperor who is not interested in politics usually be interested in?

First of all, since the position of emperor was inevitably occupied by many women, he naturally boasted of a brilliant career in that position.

And I enjoyed my hobbies when I should have been focusing on politics.

“This… “Your Majesty will really like it.”

As a way to attack the emperor, I brought out an item that would be helpful in his hobby.

Chechen and the princess, who initially looked at it with ambiguous expressions, immediately changed their mood when they were shown using it.

“It’s really amazing. I don’t know where they get this stuff. “How is this possible?”

“I guess it was made with Awakened abilities?”

Princess Mona’s eyes twinkled greedily, and Chechnya continued to look at the bribe I handed her, as if she was interested.

“How are you? “Wouldn’t that be appropriate as a bribe?”

“You will like it very much. “Of course, I can’t guarantee that you will allow Princess Haehwa to visit the front lines with this.”

Even if you had to bribe them, if the emperor said no, you had to comply.

“Wouldn’t it at least be more likely than going empty-handed? “That’s enough for me.”

“It won’t have no impact. “You especially like things like this that you haven’t seen before.”

The emperor was spontaneous, self-indulgent, and would often change his words from one thing to another.

It is true that the nobles control the emperor, but sometimes when they are upset, they go wild and no one can stop them.

An emperor who lives only for himself.

Princess Mona knew very well how to deal with such a person.

“Anyway, won’t you give me a chance to look at your stuff sometime?”

“Hmm…I’ll let you know if I come across anything you might be interested in.”

“For your information, this is the first time I’ve seen such an amazing chessboard, so it’s interesting.”

A chessboard made entirely of gold.

It was a pure golden chessboard with no other impurities.

Of course, if it had been an ordinary golden chessboard, Princess Mona would not have been so impressed.

This is a special chessboard.

Usually, the chessboard is a model, so you have to move it with your hands, but when you say it with your mouth, the chess board moves directly.

in short.

‘It’s like a magic chessboard.’

I am sure that the magic chessboard will appeal to the emperor who loves games.

Not only did it move on its own, it also had the ability to destroy the opponent’s chess pieces with fancy moves and even restore them when the game was over.

‘It’s a pleasure to see. Even though I don’t really like chess, I enjoyed it.’

Although the emperor can’t find an opponent, he won’t have to play alone, but I had fun playing alone with this magic chessboard.

If I knew how to make this, I would have made it myself and sold it at the top, but unfortunately, that was not possible.

Because it was not a product featured in the item draw, it was not something that could be obtained consistently.

‘This is why you must purchase the special event package product.’

At the time, I was curious as to why they were selling such random products, but the store was looking at the bigger picture.

Going forward, I will have to keep purchasing it every time something comes out.

It’s almost the end of the year, so I think there will be a big update.

It makes no sense for stores to miss out on year-end events.

“I wish I could have gotten another one, but unfortunately this one is all I have.”

“is it? “It’s a shame.”

Princess Mona stared at the chessboard with a possessive expression and continued to lick her lips as if she felt disappointed.

Even though Chechnya expressed regret that he still had regrets, he expressed the opinion that this would go down well with the emperor.

“Your Majesty does not consider ethnic minorities to be a great force. So, if you’re in a good mood, you might just give it permission.”

Princess Mona, who was raised preciously without any regrets, wants it that much, so the emperor will definitely like it too.

“I think so too. “I think you’ll be very happy if you use this chessboard to play against him appropriately.”

Princess Mona took the chessboard and jumped up.

“Are you planning to go right away?”

“There is no reason for this to take a long time.”

Princess Mona is also, after all, a descendant of the emperor.

Just as the emperor had an impromptu personality, she was bound to resemble him in some ways.

The princess, who disappeared without even looking back, spoke to Chechen in bewilderment.

“…You’re very hot.”

Chechnya seemed to have felt the same way as me and said with a sigh.

“You have a spontaneous side like that sometimes. I think we can just sit quietly and wait for the princess to bring us the results.”

“Will you succeed?”

“One of the reasons His Majesty cherishes the princess is because she is good at chess. “He is very good at playing chess.”

okay?

Listening to Chechnya’s words, I thought that I had chosen the emperor’s gift well.

“But where did you really get something like that? This is my first time seeing such an amazing chessboard. “Is there absolutely no possibility of recreating that?”

“Unfortunately, that was all I had. So I couldn’t even think of trying it. “If it breaks, it’s over.”

“Well, that’s a shame.”

Actually, since it was included in a package product, it didn’t really matter if it broke.

However, since I already knew that touching store items with beads wouldn’t produce anything great, I didn’t feel the need to try.

“I’m just bored waiting, would you like to play a game of chess with me?”

At that time, Chechnya made me an offer.

“Chess? “I’m not very good at it.”

“I’m just having fun, okay?”

Chechnya persuaded me that he was just having fun.

“You will be playing chess with Your Majesty, so it will probably take some time.”

“… … .”

I don’t know how many hours it will be, but it felt like sitting still was a bit of a chore.

In the end, I accepted his offer.

“I think it would be good if you could take a look since this is my first time.”

“As much as you want. “I’m not that cruel.”

And soon after I started playing chess, I was able to confirm that Chechnya was a liar.

※ ※ ※

After many twists and turns, Princess Haehwa was given permission to visit the front lines.

“Congratulations. princess. “I heard you heard the news.”

It was thanks to the princess cooking and boiling the emperor well.

It is said that the nobles who received the news late jumped up and said no, but the emperor subdued them with one vulgar word: “Shut up.”

‘Because they know very well that once the emperor is offended, he becomes a mess.’

It is said that when the emperor starts to mess around, palace affairs become paralyzed and chaos ensues.

Anyway, thanks to the Emperor’s help, Princess Haehwa was able to leave for the front lines as planned.

In addition, Princess Mona acknowledged my contribution, saying that the bribe I gave played a big role.

“friend! thank you. The princess told me. Thanks to my friend, I was able to go to the front line. I’m so happy!! The princess allowed me to join the academy! I’ll go back and pack properly. “Entering the academy!”

I relayed the conversation I had with Princess Haehwa about the academy to the princess, and it seemed like the princess made things happen quickly regarding the academy.

‘Anyway, the work progresses incredibly quickly.’

The fierce driving force was an ability that truly deserved applause.

“The princess said that everyone can enter the academy if they want. I didn’t know you would care about us this much. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, and I’ll do better in the future. “I will definitely repay your favor.”

Princess Haehwa seemed to have finally concluded that she could completely trust the empire through this incident.

“And my friend said that it was a great help in persuading His Majesty. You’ve received help again. “I feel like I always just say thank you.”

It’s also a good thing that she is grateful to me.

“Do you remember that I run a general store not far from the academy?”

“yes! “I remember.”

“Please visit often and buy things. “That’s enough for me.”

“Just like that?”

“It would be even better if they come to buy things and hang out with me like they do now.”

“of course! “Friends play together.”

Princess Haehwa seemed to have great expectations about attending the academy.

Of course, where Princess Haehwa should go right now was not the academy, but the front line.

“When do you want to go to the front lines?”

“Exactly! I had enough time touring the capital with my friends. It was fun. “Now is the time to do something important.”
