Jaesang Lang.
One day, a woman from the beast tribe who suddenly appeared in the royal capital was a mysterious person whose everything, including her origins, was shrouded in mystery.
Lang, who came to the royal capital leading a huge trading company called Lang Trading Company, quickly took control of the royal capital’s economy with his outstanding ingenuity and enormous wealth equivalent to the national budget.
Currently, there is no store on Noble Street that has not been touched by her breath, so it is no exaggeration to say that the entire street is her private property.
At the time, people did not take kindly to this behavior of an outsider and tried to drive her out several times, but she, like Taishan, did not budge.
Lang, who had insight that seemed to see into the future and a power comparable to that of a warrior’s descendant, was a person who gave people a lot of trouble, unlike other idiots.
As time passed, her power grew bigger and bigger, and if things continued like this, it was obvious that the entire kingdom would fall into her hands.
Now was not the time to save face.
At that time, the leader of the warrior faction did not care about the war with the empire that would follow, and prepared for the final battle that would turn the entire kingdom into a sea of fire.
But before their swords reached Lang’s neck.
Lang, who suddenly appeared in the royal castle, donated a considerable amount of the wealth he had earned to the royal family, and in return received the illusory position of prime minister.
As a result, her power weakened as she lost a considerable amount of property, and conversely, the warrior faction that obtained Lang’s property through the royal family was strengthened.
The warrior faction was confused.
The government has already been taken over by the warrior faction, so what is the use of being a vain prime minister?
Some people thought that she was euphemistically surrendering by voluntarily giving up her property, but everyone shook their heads inwardly denying this.
She was never the type of person to give in first, even though she would rather throw herself into hell with everyone as a companion along the royal road.
The warrior faction did not let down their guard as they had gained the upper hand and continued to be on guard against her, but Lang did not move as actively as before.
Of course, he was not silent like a retired old man, but it seemed like he would never be able to regain his old momentum that seemed to engulf the entire capital.
As time passed, people died one by one, and her name gradually began to be forgotten.
Lang, who resumed his activities actively, recovered his power significantly, although it was not comparable to before.
Even so, it is at the level of a mere merchant.
While everyone was laughing at how little they could do, powerful people from the capital and distant regions began to gather in the capital.
While the warrior faction was watching Lang, she was in contact with a local influential person under the water.
No matter how far they were from the royal capital, there was no way they could look down on the words of local nobles with huge fiefdoms.
Rather than being a mere chancellor, she began to gain power commensurate with that position.
However, the warrior faction, which had grown in power thanks to Lang’s wealth in its prime, was also formidable, and a tense war of nerves broke out with no one side gaining the upper hand.
The conflict between the two factions continues to this day, and the powerless people have had to bear all the aftermath.
A conflict between two factions that has lasted for nearly a hundred years.
In fact, the person who started the fight is in front of me.
Fox ears perk up on top of the head.
A body so voluptuous that it rivals that of a cow, and a bushy tail that seems to be beckoning you to come from behind.
I felt it in the last episode as well, but the body looks like it smells really good.
Perhaps I was drawn to an unknown body odor that I had not smelled yet, but when I came to, my body was standing right next to hers.
-Sniff.
If I took a step forward, my nose rang at a distance where my skin almost touched.
Perhaps it was perfume, but a subtle scent that was a mixture of the unique body odor of a prisoner and the scent of an unknown flower tickled my nose.
This isn’t bad, but I wanted to smell her body scent a little more purely.
So, if I were to give a score… .
“83 points.”
“Yes?”
It’s not bad, but it’s not enough to call it the best.
It is a smell that is promising for future development.
“Try your best in the future.”
“… I don’t know what it is, but it’s fun. Who could talk to me like this… If you think about it, there were a lot of them. It’s right next to it.”
When I slowly turned my head in the direction she was looking, I saw Terezina smiling slightly with a very uncomfortable expression.
Is that what you mean when you say that your eyes aren’t smiling? I felt like I could see an evil aura like a haze behind me.
He acted like he had no idea what was going on and fell a few steps back.
Only then did Terezina’s expression begin to relax.
“This is my first time seeing you get this emotional. The day we first met, I felt bad because it felt like I was looking at a doll without emotions.”
Saying that, she sat down in the same place she had first sat.
Then he spread his fan wide and covered his mouth.
Although half of her face was covered, it was clear what kind of expression she was making behind that fan by looking at the corners of her eyes that were slanted like a crescent moon.
Theresa then sat down, and I also sat in the last remaining seat.
… Fiona had been frozen ever since she entered this room.
*****
“So, what business did you call me for?”
Terezina was a member of the chancellor’s faction, but unlike other nobles, she did not have a one-sided relationship with military subjects.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are just potential enemies, as they have the same understanding and are acting together.
She was not satisfied with just one member of the middle class and planned to one day absorb the entire Prime Minister’s faction.
It would not have been her intention for Theresa to be with Lang in a place like this.
It’s hardly enough evidence, but at least Fiona seemed unaware of Lang’s visit.
I don’t think I called you to introduce me to “ and your sister.”
“That’s right. This old lady just intervened on her own. Really, I wish older people wouldn’t get caught up in the middle of young people without even noticing it… .”
“Young people? Have you gotten older and forgotten how to use plurals?”
“It’s noisy, you old lady.”
“The lady said, “Well…” .”
Lang, who was laughing behind the fan, said, ‘Anyway… .’ he added and looked in my direction.
“Sister… . I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been called that, but it was nice to hear it even though I knew it was flattering.”
“I just said what I saw. Or did you like your grandmother better?”
“If you call me that one more time, I will rip out your lovely tongue.”
Even though the pitch of his voice did not change at all, there was an eerie feeling in Lang’s gentle words that sent a chill down the back of my neck.
He was probably genuinely angry.
“Yes, that’s why I called you sister. If it’s okay, please let me call you that from now on.”
“If Mr. Felt says so much――.”
“Grandma is being rude… .”
“… Unlike the lady over there, Felt said that voluntarily, so how could she refuse? Please continue to call me sister.”
It was as if he had personally seen the situation at that time.
Well, it’s not really that different.
“… I think that story got sidetracked. So what did you call me for?”
“I didn’t call you for any special business. I just called you to report on your current situation and talk about various things… .”
Teresina paused for a moment and glanced sideways at Lang, who was sitting next to her.
Lang, who was sipping the black tea in front of him, just smiled innocently, as if he knew nothing.
“I never thought my letter would be spied on.”
“Spying on letters?”
“… Yes?”
Fiona, who was far away, responded to those words.
There would not be many people in the royal capital who would directly communicate with Terezina.
That moment when you flinch as if you’ve been hit, wondering if you’ve made some kind of mistake.
“Don’t worry. Because it’s not your fault. Who would have thought that there would be a spell that would transcribe letters located above a certain altitude throughout the capital?”
Certainly, if that was the case, it would have been too harsh to blame Fiona even if she had discovered the contents of the letter.
Fiona was immediately relieved because Teresina was cruel, but she was not the type to vent her anger unnecessarily.
“Anyway, I found a letter containing Felt’s story. After being questioned about the contents of the letter, I revealed Felt’s information. This is why the meeting was postponed.”
“I see. Then, I guess you can just think that today I will only talk about things that can be shared in front of sister Rang.”
“… Don’t you usually say things like that when I’m not around?”
“What do you think? You don’t think we’ve revealed our true feelings to each other anyway, right? The only difference is whether you say it in words or keep it inside.”
I didn’t mean to make him laugh, but Lang chuckled because he found something funny.
“You’re a funnier person than I thought. I think I now understand why Terezina fell for you. Then, please assume that I am not there and have a conversation without hesitation.”
“Yes, I will do that. Sarah’s level is rising smoothly. The academy’s reputation seems to have improved a bit since the midterm exam.”
“I heard that story. From what I heard, Felt seems to have some pretty interesting items… .”
Since it wasn’t something that was silenced, it was natural that it reached Terezina’s ears.
I didn’t really want to hide it, but it still didn’t feel that good, like losing a player.
“That’s right, actually, I wanted to talk about that today too.”
“If it’s a story… .”
“Should it be called a business?”
When the prepared honey with special effects was laid out on the desk, Terezina narrowed her eyes and slowly looked at the honey.
Lang seems to be very interested in the word business.
asked Terezina, caressing the lid of the honey bottle.
“Sister, do you know what’s in this?”
“… It’s not ordinary honey. I can feel the mana in the honey.”
“I’ve heard that high-level bees and fairies can make honey with special effects. Is it really that kind of honey?”
“That’s right. This is honey that restores vitality, and eating the one next to it restores mana. Next to it, it heals status ailments such as poison or paralysis.”
“What?”
I spoke calmly, not paying attention to Terezina’s interrogative gaze as if asking if that was true.
“I can make 30 bottles of each of these honeys a day.”
