Chapter 211: Dealing with the Serdis Financial City
“Princess, Gregoir apparently wants to et with you directly. He sent you an invitation.” Gillian told . I’m unsure why he decided to call princess, but let’s not mind it.
“Oh, that was a quick response.” I then read up the letter, as it was written in my language. He basically seems to be willing to surrender, but wants to convince the people supporting him first… Not too bad.
And the place he wants us to et up at is… A ball? I’m unsure if this is a trap or a real surrender plan, but it’s fine to go either way.
However… The ball will happen three days from now. I won’t be able to get appropriate clothing in this little ti… Guess I’ll have to rely on the princess for this. She’ll probably be able to get it done in a day or two.
“Well, who will be your escort for the ball?” Gillian asked .
“I was planning on just taking Inosensho with , but I guess I could also take you?” I asked him.
“Please don’t say that. Your knight will kill if I try taking his place.” Gillian replied.
Well, Inoue did seem to be angry right now… I guess he doesn’t like being referred to by a pseudonym, but he’ll just have to endure it for now.
“Okay, then. I’ll go see my tourist guide now, so I’ll be going. You can tell your boss that I’ll go.” As I said this, I left the building, so as to go et up with the princess.

When I told the princess that I needed a dress, she was a bit suspicious at first, but when I lied to her, saying that I wanted so to take so nice clothes from here before returning ho, she happily arranged for to et up with a rchant that she trusted.
“Hello, my na is Diin, and I’ll be preparing the clothes for you, young lady.” The rchant that she chose was none other than Dirk Fastria. He might be using a pseudonym and pretending to be just be an average rchant, but it was easy to see through that. I guess he wants to try getting so information from , “Are there any colors you are particularly fond of, young lady?” He asked .
“Red and black.” I replied.
“Unusual for a lady, but I’m sure you’ll look great in a red dress.” He told , “Is there any design in particular that the ladies from your country prefer?”
“Oh, don’t worry about it. I want to bring sothing that is fashionable at ffy, for I want to show the good parts of this country to the other ladies of my ho.” I replied.
“I see, then how about this one?” He pointed towards a dress. It was a good thing that, due to we being in a ga, all clothes that we buy are automatically to fit our size, so we don’t need to worry about their size or asking a tailor to make adjustnts.
It also helps that we don’t even need to try it out on a dressing room, because we always know that it will fit.
But well, I still have so specific needs for my clothing, so… “Please make an adjustnt here in order to make it easier to move while wearing this dress.”
It’s annoying that I’ll need to wear a dress with a deep slit in its leg, but it can’t be helped, as I might need to fight while wearing those party clothes.
“Oh, sure? Is this kind of modification trendy where you live?” He asked .
“No, just a personal need… Just in case I need to move quickly while my escort protects in an ergency.” I replied.
“Understood…” Dirk said.
As we did this casual talk, Inoue seed to be getting annoyed… Well, I guess he doesn’t want the other party to pry on my life, but it can’t be helped that Dirk wants information on , just like how I want information on him.
“By the way, have your finances gone well, recently? With the sudden price hike of sugar and tea, I imagine it must be rough.” Dirk asked .
“Oh? The price rose? I leave such miscellaneous dealings to my subordinates, so I wasn’t aware.” I replied.
… Well, I knew that the price had risen, as Belzenstock is one of the main suppliers of sugar and tea leaves to this country, and I asked them to start hiking up the price, but there’s no reason to share this much information. Better to just keep up the act of being a naïve young lady instead.
“Well, it’s fine if it doesn’t affect you. Either way, I’ll send you the finished dress in two days, alright?” Dirk told .
“Thank you, I appreciate it. Then can we continue the tourism of the city?” I asked the princess.
Before she replied, I noticed that Dirk whispered sothing to her, but as it was in their language, I couldn’t understand it.
“Of course, where do you want to go today?” The princess asked .
“Well, how about…” And then, as we left the establishnt, we continued sightseeing while I made my plans for the future.
