Chapter 75
CHAPTER 75 – THE WEALTHY RCHANT’S VISAGE
I ca to Delfina’s rchant company using warp feather .
Today’s the day she would co to my mansion, and I ca to pick her up .
I first warped to Delfina’s private room, but since she’s not there, I went out to the hallway .
There was Delfina’s male subordinate there . The man I’m familiar with saw and bowed .
「Where’s Delfina?」
「She is in the drawing room . The crown prince of Aegina Kingdom has visited, so」
「He〜」
「I will guide you」
「No, it’s alright . The drawing room’s that very lavish-looking room for entertaining wealthy guests right? I can go there myself」
I said that to the man, and I started walking .
I’m already very used to Delfina’s rchant company, and they’re also very used to .
Walking through the hallway, the various people who were working saw and stopped, bowing their heads very deeply .
After a while, I t soone who wouldn’t bow their head .
A sullen-faced middle-aged man ca out from the room with a lavish doorーーfrom the drawing room .
From the clothes he wears, it felt like it’s worn by royalties, so he’s probably the crown prince of Aegina Kingdom I heard just earlier .
The crown prince took a glance at , but as if I didn’t appear in his eyes, he turned around and started walking .
While being curious with his tired face, I entered the drawing room .
「Kakeru-sama . You have visited」
「I just ca . Was a little later better」
「No, our talk has just finished, so」
「Was that earlier the crown prince of Aegina?」
「Yes」
「He had a tired face though」
「Well that should be the case」
Delfina giggled a laugh .
She laughed covering her mouth with an elegant gesture . She had more elegance than noble ladies that can be seen around, and she’s releasing a bewitching air .
「I had refused one by one the things he had asked for, so it couldn’t be helped that he would get tired」
「Asked for?」
I sat across Delfina .
I moved aside the cup that was probably used by that crown prince .
「Actually, I bought a town」
「……he〜?」
「There’s a town under the reign of Aegina called Malonei, but it has financial difficulties in the recent years, and it’s also a town that is completely relying on the aid coming from their capital . And there I ca, using the deficits and the support from now on as a card, I gave the condition of replacing all the officials to my subordinates」
「I see, it’s like you substantially bought it huh」
「Yes, I also let the noble who governs there be dismissed, But it seems like it’s a noble that had governed that land through years and generations, they cried this out to their kingdom, and because of that the crown prince ca asking if sothing could be done with it」
「I see」
I got the story pretty much . He had that tired face because of that huh .
「But, why did you buy sothing like a town? Are you planning sothing like invading with economy, build a country and beco a queen or sothing」
「Not at all . I will just say that Malonei has that value」
Delfina, from a serious faceーーshe had a serious face with a faint smile .
When she’s talking about business, she always makes this kind of face .
My heart skipped a beat . It’s her face as a rchant, butーーit is terribly beautiful .
「That town has been running on a deficit because of its administration up until now, but around it, rare materials are still buried, so . I let soone investigate it, and the result, it was not exhausted, but only incapable of excavating it because they could not give proper wages . Even with those resources alone are worth the money . It’s high-risk, and super-high return」
「I see」
I got impressed, as expected of Delfina .
As a rchant, she is very severe, and that is what’s the best of her .
I asked about Malonei .
Putting together, she said that it’s a「pump requiring a large volu of water」, and the people who could prepare that water is limited .
Well, if she’d be successful with it, it’s fine .
「Co to think of it」
Delfina’s expression changed .
It’s a different type of smile from earlier, it’s a face when she would chat and could say jokes .
「I was proposed to」
「Pu!」
I laughed out .
「Proposed to, you say, from that man earlier huh」
「Yes . I’m a woman, so he probably thought that if he gained , all of it could be erased」
「Fu〜n」
「What a scary face . Of course I refused」
It’s not like I’m making a scary face though .
「You refused huh」
「Yes . Have you forgotten? I have decided that I would marry the man who would buy all of what I have including myself」
「Was that so」
I rembered she said sothing like that before .
Wealthy rchant Delfina who has equal wealth with a kingdom .
There was, of course, many people who co to her with her youth and beauty, but her condition is「A person who would buy everything she had including herself using their wealth」 .
In short, rgers and acquisitions .
The condition of marrying the financial group female CEO is to M&A that financial group .
「What’s your current asset?」
「It’s almost the sa with rcouri’s national budget for a year」
「Well, that’s very hard, buying that」
「I am always waiting for you to buy it」
Delfina graciously smiled . This ti, she had a face of a woman .
「I’ll do my best to do sothing as fast as I can . If I’m too slow, I might get bought by you instead」
I rembered about Malonei, and said that jokingly .
「That would be quite difficult」
Delfina’s expression changed again .
It’s her face as a rchant .
「I had also thought about that, but that is quite difficult desu wa . Kakeru-sama’s total value is too high after all」
「Is that so?」
「Roughly calculating, it’s five tis of mine」
「Isn’t that too high?」
「Not at all」
Delfina shook her head .
Her expression’s still the sa .
The one that I likeーーDelfina’s expression that I like the most .
Wealthy rchant Delfina, with that faint smile, she said .
「Demon Sword Wielder, Goshaku-sama, the na value of that . If you are going to be bought with money, political power that can silence Rika Calamba, Helena Teresia rcouri, Aura Torideka Comotoria, princesses and queens who would intervene with their own political powers . On top of that, army strength that would stop Nana Kanou who holds the strongest strength excluding you . When all of those are taken into account and converted to money, the necessary expenses would be roughly five tis of 」
Delfina said clearly up to the end with a serious face .
It seems like it’s the evaluation of Wealthy rchant Delfina .
I still can’t buy Delfina .
Delfina also can’t buy .
It’s interesting .
「……」
When I noticed it, Delfina’s expression changed again .
It’s an expression I saw the first ti today, it’s a face that sulks a little .
「What happened」
「No, it is nothing」
「It’s not nothing at all right」
「It is nothing at all」
She said that and finally turned her face away from .
I wonder what it is .
For so reason, I followed where Delfina turned her face to, and arrived to the cup placed on the top of the table .
It’s the crown prince’s cup that I moved aside earlier .
She looked at that and sulks .
Maybe .
「Delfina, can I confirm one thing」
「What is it」
「I still haven’t bought you, but my reservation’s still there right」
「Reservation?」
「You can also call it negotiating rights . Until I abandon it, I have the first priority to buy you right」
Delfina got dumbfounded for a while, and then, changed her expression .
That face, it’s her face that I saw today for the first ti .
「O-Of course desu wa」
It was the sa face when I had an agreent with her the first ti .
