4 resurrection stones.

Faced with an unexpected miracle, I stopped drawing for a moment and thought about how to use the resurrection stone that came out today.

“After all, is it right to leave it to Fran?”

It seemed like Franc would be able to use it most secretly if he died during treatment.

The less the existence of the Resurrection Stone is known to others, the better.

“Or it might be better to send it to Rebecca, who can calmly examine the situation.”

Even when I had 3 Resurrection Stones, I was thinking of leaving them to someone in my unit.

But now there are 4 instead of 3, right?

Since I would soon have to go to a dangerous place to solve the hatchery problem, I thought it would be a perfect situation to deliver the resurrection stone.

‘As expected, I need to discuss this with Thalia.’

I have to share many secrets with Thalia in the future.

Because she is the unit’s decision maker.

No matter how much I do for the children, I can’t do anything if Thalia is against it.

That’s why my relationship with Thalia is important.

‘It’s not something you can readily believe that there is an item that can revive a dead person.’

It’s about making yourself believe something that’s hard to believe until you see it with your own eyes.

For that to happen, she must trust me.

And I thought that the time I had spent with Thalia so far was enough to build trust enough to explain the Resurrection Stone.

“Both Fran and Rebecca are trustworthy people, so I don’t think it will be a big deal.”

Picking the Resurrection Stone was truly unexpected luck.

The best outcome would be not to use the Resurrection Stone, but in battle, one must always keep the worst in mind.

“The Resurrection Stone decided to do that, and now all that’s left is… .”

I felt good about picking up the Resurrection Stone, but when I thought about the things I had to do in the future, I became calm again.

Although I was excited to get the resurrection stone because of my great luck, the priority of what I had to do now did not change.

“I have to pick it.”

Princess Haehwa will arrive soon.

Since I had not yet picked up all the items to trade with ethnic minorities, I had to start drawing items again.

“I wish I knew this would get picked.”

We will need to continue to draw large amounts of items in the future.

So, as long as you come out, you will be able to get this kind of luck again someday.

It was beneficial as long as the Resurrection Stone came out even once a year or once every two years.

Minority delegation arrived.

By order of Princess Mona, I had arrived at the imperial palace before the delegation arrived.

Princess Mona came directly to the front of the palace this time to welcome Princess Haehwa.

“hello!”

“Your pronunciation is much better than before.”

“Hehe, I practiced a lot. are you okay?”

“yes. “My pronunciation has really improved.”

The two people seemed happy to meet again, perhaps because they had met once before and then parted ways.

“I have a lot I want to say!”

“Me too. “I’m glad to see you again.”

Princess Haehwa’s clothes caught my eye.

The clothes, which seemed to be made of monster leather, felt much more luxurious and neat than the clothes I had worn before.

It was also a design that further highlighted Princess Haehwa’s physical charm.

‘It looks like the situation in the north has improved a lot since the wave was cleared up?’

At that moment, something about our belongings came out of Princess Haehwa’s mouth.

“Imperial stuff is amazing. Everyone was surprised. The wave was over, and everyone was safe.”

I thought his expression was good because of the joy of reuniting with Princess Mona, but it seems that his expression brightened because his worries disappeared.

Princess Mona smiled happily at Princess Haehwa’s honest remarks.

Princess Mona also relaxed at the pure appearance of expressing her feelings without the slightest thought of political advantage.

“It seems like there is a lot to hear. “Instead of doing this here, it would be better to go in and have a conversation.”

“great! “Let’s go now.”

“Everyone is probably tired from coming all the way here, so it would be better to take a break and then start the banquet. “Let’s find a separate place and eat together.”

“There are a lot of delicious things in the Empire. So I prepared a gift. “I want to show the princess a taste of something delicious.”

“Please follow me quickly.”

Princess Mona led from the front, and Princess Haehwa followed at a brisk pace.

I was watching without thinking as the two representatives left the table, and at that moment, Princess Haehwa moved her head back and forth, and then she spotted me and our eyes met.

“!!”

It seems that the reason Princess Haehwa looked around was to find me.

The moment her eyes met, Princess Haehwa smiled brightly, as if a dog’s tail had formed behind her back.

No matter who saw it, it was a welcome message to me.

While thinking about how to react, I slowly raised my hand.

Princess Haehwa seemed to be finally satisfied and turned her head away from me.

‘It feels good to be welcomed like that.’

The two representatives disappeared, and the remaining envoys were taken over by Princess Mona’s nobles.

The delegations also calmly packed their luggage and moved according to the instructions.

‘It’s changed a bit?’

By checking the expressions of the envoys, I was able to recognize that their feelings toward the empire had changed.

‘Everyone was full of complaints.’

Since they didn’t deserve each other, there was a tense atmosphere that felt like a fight would break out at any moment.

But now the delegation was moving calmly, following the instructions.

Of course, it seemed like he still felt aversion to the empire.

However, it is great that they do not express their dissatisfaction openly.

Don’t you hate breathing in the same space as each other?

‘I guess it’s because the transaction went well.’

Our products have been a great help in resolving relations with ethnic minorities.

A happy smile naturally formed.

If Princess Mona’s plan went ahead like this, it might be possible to turn minority ethnic groups into allies without wasting their power too much.

That will be a positive change for Princess Mona and humanity.

“The princess is calling.”

“… “You mean me?”

I was reunited with Princess Haehwa sooner than expected.

As the delegation disappeared for a rest, the other nobles who had gathered to welcome them had no reason to stay around.

Since I had to attend a banquet at night, I couldn’t leave the palace, so I went to the assigned lodgings and spent some wasted time.

Then, someone came and relayed the news that Princess Mona was calling me.

“Why are you calling me?”

“I just follow orders.”

Well, even if you ask the palace servant who came to deliver the order, it is unlikely that you will get a proper answer.

“It’s still a while before the banquet starts, so the princess is with the princess, right?”

“yes.”

“Huh… “Are you trying to bring up the deal?”

Now, the two had prepared a separate seat before the banquet began so that they could have a conversation without being disturbed by other nobles.

I was confused as to why they had called me to a place like that.

“I will guide you. Please follow me.”

He adjusted his wrinkled clothes from lying on the bed and followed the courtier.

“Princess, Suhan Sangju has arrived.”

“Please come in.”

I could hear Princess Mona’s voice and Princess Haehwa’s voice from inside.

As expected, it seemed like he had called me while the two were together.

“hello. Princess Mona, Princess Haehwa. “I came because I was called.”

“Okay, come on, sit down here.”

“friend!! long time no see. I’m so glad to see you! I missed you.”

Princess Mona offered me a seat, and Princess Haehwa welcomed me warmly, calling me a friend.

“We made eye contact earlier, right? i know?”

“yes. “I saw you smiling at me.”

“Right? how have you been doing?”

A lot of things happened between the time Princess Haehwa returned to the North and the time she came back.

Since I couldn’t tell him everything, I decided to just say that I was doing well.

“I had a good time. “Are you okay, Princess Haehwa?”

“yes! We were talking about that. “Come and listen to your friends.”

Following Princess Haehwa’s words, I sat down in the seat that Princess Mona had recommended.

Princess Haehwa was looking at me with sparkling eyes, and Princess Mona was drinking tea with elegant gestures.

Princess Mona put down the cup of tea she had drunk and said to me.

“The reason I called you was because Princess Haehwa wanted to see you.”

“Princess?”

“He asked for my understanding, saying it would be difficult to have a private conversation if we met at the banquet hall.”

“I want to make an appointment with my friend.”

“You mean a promise to me?”

“You don’t have to go back quickly this time. “I didn’t do it last time, but I want to play with you.”

Last time, the situation at the front line was urgent so I had to return quickly, but this time it wasn’t so so I decided to take my time and have fun.

And it seemed like he wanted to join me when I played.

‘I have a busy schedule… .’

Although I had contacted Commander Thalia, I had not yet been able to deliver the resurrection stone, and I needed to explain the hatchery in person.

When Princess Haehwa returns, she has to leave immediately to prevent the epidemic, so the suggestion to play together was embarrassing.

“If there is a place you want to go, I will take you there.”

However, his relationship with Princess Haehwa was something that could not be neglected.

“There’s a place I want to go! But can I get permission? I don’t know.”

“Where is that? “Tell me.”

Princess Mona showed interest when Princess Haehwa said there was a place she wanted to visit.

“Umm… “It’s okay to be rejected.”

Princess Haehwa hesitated to say where on earth she wanted to go.

“Tell me. “You can go anywhere if I let you.”

“I want to see the front lines of the empire.”

“ah… .”

When I asked why I hesitated so much, I was told that the place I wanted to go was the front line.

The front line, let alone any other place, is not a place that even Princess Mona can readily allow.

“Why are you curious about the front lines?”

Princess Mona asked.

“I heard that the Empire did a good job blocking the wave. We had a hard time. We only managed to stop it with help. So I really want to go and see it.”

If I had seen the front lines in the past, I would have been embarrassed to show them to Princess Haehwa.

However, the current front line was at a level that would not be lacking even if it were shown to Princess Haehwa.

If this is the front line that is developing at an incredible rate, wouldn’t it be exactly what the princess wants to see?
