"I was a baby a while ago, but I can walk myself, even though I'm still walking. You know how fast humans grow."
"Really, I'm amazed at how fast you're going to grow up"
Two people, Claude and Bridget, marvel at Kendra's growth rate.
Especially since Bridget saw it six months ago, I know the difference very well.
The next thing you know, you two look at Isaac.
"Isaac is Isaac and grows fast. I can't think of anything that would surprise Dwarves that year."
"Coincidence, coincidence"
Isaac laughs hahahaha and deludes himself.
It's a little awkward to brag like your handle because it's not something you thought of yourself from scratch.
Margaret talks to Isaac like that.
"Speaking of which, the Grey Chamber of Commerce is asking for help." Sell the distiller quickly, "the nobles have urged. He says he can't until His Majesty's permission is given, but get him consulted once and for all."
"Yes, ma'am"
Now the Wight Chamber of Commerce, which bought the distiller from the Gray Chamber of Commerce, makes the distilled liquor.
I pack it in a barrel and put it to sleep in a liquor warehouse because it is not for sale as it is.
But naturally there was also the opinion that "it is Zului who only prepares distilled liquor for the Wight Chamber of Commerce".
For this reason, the Gray Chamber of Commerce is prepared to make and keep distillers so that they can be sold to other nobles and chambers of commerce at any time.
But that makes me say, "If you have finished products, sell them".
I can sell it as a Gray Chamber of Commerce, but I can't because King Elias and the Marquis Welrod family tell me not to.
It was a painful time when the board was pinched.
"... and"
"Yes."
Margaret looks serious, so Isaac accidentally finds herself.
"They say the Earl of Bristol is interested in doing business with Dwarves. The great merchants of Wangdu are here for you."
"Ha!
Isaac opens his eyes wide.
(Damn it! After all, can big rights get in the way!
The territory of the Earl of Bristol is to the west of the Marquis of Welrod.
The mines of salt have been interrupted and a relatively nasty plain area stretches between them and Neuizen.
Until now, it's a place where you're afraid to make contact with the Dwarves and nobody gets near you.
I guess we'll make our way on that plain and make a trade route.
The great merchants of Wangdu also said, "Will you let the Grey Chamber of Commerce monopolize you!," and it seems he intends to make contact from outside the Marquis of Wellrod territory.
You don't seem to let Isaac do what he wants.
"Your Majesty replies that you will think after the trade agreement has been successfully concluded. Maybe you're into it. Remember, there are moves like that."
"Really..."
(Maybe Elias isn't thinking deeply. I suppose you're thinking, "You should have more than one trading route" or "You just have to let the deal be done carefully" anyway. That's not it!
Elias was also convinced at first that he would leave it to the Gray Chamber of Commerce, which has a proven track record of dealing with elves.
But you must have thought there was also a choice to be persuaded by the royal merchants and nobles and left to others.
Naturally, that's not a bad thing in itself.
But it's bad for Isaac.
It doesn't mean I want to monopolize profits.
More contacts increase the likelihood of hives entering friendship with the Dwarves.
At the very least, I wanted it to be after you told me how to create gunpowder.
"Isaac......"
Lucia calls Isaac with a worried look on her face.
"It's okay. It's a lot to think about, but I'll clean it up in a proper, calm way. Rest assured."
"Yes, I hope so..."
"I've learned a lot, too. He said he wouldn't imitate it like he used to."
Lucia gets somewhat anxious about Isaac laughing at Nicole.
The anxiety was right.
Isaac's annoyance was because he was boiling back.
(Yes, I don't do what I used to do. I'll do it the way I can now)
Now and back.
I don't know which way it's good for the side that can do it.
Only those who are actually hit can see that.
"Mother-in-law, you don't have to say that as soon as you arrive..."
Lucia speaks to Margaret in a blamed tone.
But Margaret had no intention of hearing such an opinion.
"Isaac is no ordinary child. Your majesty has already summoned me. 'I don't know that kind of story' when they call me in. It just puts me to shame if something happens. You must tell them as soon as possible that it seems important so that whenever they call you in. You have to talk about something important early, too."
"Yes......"
Lucia stares at Isaac with worrying eyes.
Taking that gaze, Isaac just smiled back, "Don't worry."
