Ive finished talking with the envoy from the elders of Socina Citys side. I didnt agree to their request, but neither did I reject them. I dont want to see either of the envoys again so I had Freya tell them that I wouldnt be working again since I had just gotten married. However, I began preparations to head into the desert at the sa ti. Its just that Im slightly reluctant to leave as I dont want to part with my wives. We did just get married after all.
The desert? Ah, youre talking about the tal in the desert, right? Well if you want an opinion, their tal certainly is good quality, but the transportation and costs are very high so I rarely ever saw it. However, it certainly is very useful. If we had it, we could indeed use it to make gun-barrels and spear-tips.
The red-haired lady looked at and then scrubbed her hair. She looked at the blueprint before her and continued, But your majesty, if you want to purchase it directly from the desert in the south, itll be too expensive. If you did that, your guard-unit would basically be a unit made out of gold. Would you bear to train them like usual then?
I shook my head as I looked at her and responded: I dont intend to buy tal. I want to go and find that type of tal because I heard that the tal they have is actually very cheap. The expensive part is mining it and the delivery fees. I want to go there and buy up a mineral mine. A new mine has supposedly been discovered there. All we need is a slting thod. As long as I have those two in my hands, Ill be able to get my hands on a mine, and Ill be able to transport the mined materials back here without a hitch.
Isnt that good then? When I left last ti, I went to the desert. There was indeed a rumour that a new mine was discovered deep in the desert. However, it hasnt be confird if its true or not. But since you think that its true, Ill take your word for it. It would be best if you could make it a reality because I really want to enjoy the pleasure of fiddling with that type of tal.
She laughed but I didnt leave. I continued while looking at her: But I didnt co here just to ntion it.
Do you have other business with then?
She looked at sowhat boggled since I never brought up anything else before. I respect her greatly so I never poke my noise into her business unnecessarily. I dont mind how she runs the factory or what novel things she makes.
With my eyes on her, I sincerely said: I hoped that you could co with to the desert.
She hesitated for a second then scratched her head and answered: Ah, I thought thats what you were going to say
Yes, you know about this tals stuff best, and if I am right, you went to look for it in the desert last ti but were unsuccessful. Im not familiar with the desert but I know how frightening the desert is. Without the help of soone whos familiar with the desert, Ill die in there for sure which is why I need your help. I need you to co with to the desert. That way, I will feel a little safer.
Dont you have anyone else to ask around you, your majesty? And if you need a guide, the five nations of the desert are all Elizabeths vassal states. Any of them can be your guide, right?
No, I dont intend to reveal my identity this ti. Im not going to announce that Im the prince of the Rosvenor Empire regardless of where I go, because there are two other powers that are competing for this tal like as well. The two of them want to trade this tal with . I didnt reject or agree to their offer. In a situation like this where my position is ambiguous, if I reveal that I want to take it all for myself, well only beco hostile with each other with nothing for to gain out of it.
I looked at the red-haired lady and broke it down: Further, there is no one I can send on the job. Freya needs to stay and manage the citys affairs. I dont want for Lucia and Nier to put themselves at risk again, not to ntion the fact that Lucia is pregnant. Luna doesnt know the desert so itd be pointless to bring her along. Therefore, you are the only one I know who can help .
After listening to my explanation, she massaged her shoulders in a sowhat irritated fashion and responded: Your majesty, I just ca back from there not too long ago. And you also noticed that I went there to search for it to no avail. Its the first ti youre searching for it so youre in high spirits and keen, but Ive lost motivation.
I made a small bow and then said: Please, sister. You are the only one left I can trust. You must help . If you can help , you can do as you please with the tal we acquire. You can do anything you like. As long as we can satisfy my units requirents I would even be willing to buy if off of you.
Yeah? She gave a strange look then chuckled and said: Raise your head, your majesty. How should I put it? Though I have always been with the Galadriel tribe as well as having helped Elizabeth and Vyvyan all this ti, I have never had them plead like this before. This is the second ti you are pleading like this. Well, whatever. Ill make a trip with you to the desert out of consideration for your two mothers and your sincerity.
Thank you so much!
Its nothing, its nothing. My work is really interesting too. Havent I always been wiping your familys ass? She laughed cheerfully. But then she quickly switched to a stern expression and said, But your majesty, you must rember that the desert is different to this place. The natural climate and environnt there is harsh. Your status as a prince isnt even worth a bottle of water there. Its an extrely dangerous place. You must rember to bring your guard-unit along and they must be fully-equipped. If you insist on going, you must be ntally prepared for your guard-unit to suffer sacrifices.
I nodded and replied: I understand. I trust them!
The red-haired lady nodded and responded: Good then. I shall prepare then, your majesty. Just let know when its ti to set out. Your majesty, you have lofty ambitions just like Inard did back then. That was the first ti I saw an elf take the initiative to interact with humans. At the ti, I believed that they would et a tragic ending, but it doesnt look like thats the case now. So while I think that you are being rash, it might be a good thing. I shall give my all to assist you. However, I want to play with those tals
All right!
Well, the matter with Lorana looks like its been settled. I managed to persuade her who was most suited for this job. If you want to go to the desert, you really do need a suitable candidate. I did say that the people by my side who I could rely on and could help couldnt walk by my side this ti. So I can only rely on myself no matter what happens this ti.
Ah, and Lorana.
I returned to the palace and bumped into a frantic Luna.
Luna!
Luna looked at and excitedly called out to : Your majesty!
I noticed her hasty expression so I smiled and asked: Whats wrong? What are you in such a rush for? Did sothing happen in the palace?
She nodded furiously. She looked like she couldnt hold back her smile. She looked at , and in a serious and excited tone inford : Did you know?! Did you know?! Miss Nier was sent back here because she was not feeling too well. After the doctor saw her, we found out she is pregnant! Miss Nier is pregnant!
