In April, there is an appointment ceremony for adults and an admission ceremony for children.
Once those events are over, the aristocracy with the territory leaves the king's capital.
So does the Wellrod family.
But this time, unlike usual, Morgan and Margaret stayed in the king's capital.
Because he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"Grandpa, I have a favor to ask you"
Isaac does one last favor before he leaves.
"Hmm, what?
Isaac's favor is beyond the realm of children.
So was the favor of the meantime.
Morgan gets up tight.
"I don't know how hard it is for the Foreign Secretary, but take care of yourself. The next time I see you, I don't want to see you asleep."
"Isaac......"
I was just wary, and that gap touches me and makes my eyes look moist.
If you only have a mind to fall in, you can be harsh enough to correct your personality at an early stage.
But because of the cuteness that I sometimes show, I get a "fix it” attitude.
Embrace Isaac with a deluded look.
"Leave it to me. Until I see your grandson's face, I'll try my best to live!
"No, that's a little..."
Isaac is drawn to Morgan's "Beyond the Limits of Man" declaration.
But we're going to live away from this.
I thought you'd want to say something a little over the top.
Spring is also the season of new encounters and the season of parting.
Isaac didn't just break up with his grandparents.
Tiffany and I are leaving.
This is because Karen gave birth to a child in the King's capital.
We couldn't let the newborn baby travel long distances, but we were to spend some time in the King's Capital until he was some age.
So it looks like Tiffany decided to stay with Karen, too.
Only Andy, Tiffany's father, returns to Wellrod territory alone.
Isaac will be separated from his precious friends.
And goodbye to a few secretaries and many others.
They will also remain in the King's Capital to assist Morgan, who will become Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Although there are foreign affairs bureaucrats in their substantive duties, it is because it is better for someone to have an idea of Morgan's pattern of behaviour.
Some of them are Benjamin.
He also had the opportunity to work shoulder to shoulder with his son Norman, who graduated from college, but he chose to work beside Morgan.
Morgan, blessed with his strong loyal men, is a happy man.
And a new encounter.
This one is not very preferred.
There will be no more than one secretary in the form of Morgan pulling through.
He promoted those in key positions as his hole fills to become Randolph's secretary.
There are no problems so far.
I'm just saying that old and new secretaries will replace generations and a few will replace them at a time.
But the biggest problem lay in the cauldron of the promoters.
Some were neutral, but the Nathan were supposed to sit in their vacant seats.
This led to important posts in the financial relationship of the Marquis Welrod being filled with Nathan.
Nevertheless, they are nobles under the Marquis Welrod umbrella, even if they rot.
A lot of people think "Nathan succeeded doesn't have to have unnecessary housekeeper disputes," and they're not going to let Melinda or the Wilmente Marquis set the Wellrod Marquis free.
Only in that respect can it be said that it is still better.
"Grandpa, I'll see you in the winter"
Isaac also holds Morgan back.
I'm anxious to start living away from Morgan, the biggest asylum seeker.
But I also felt purely lonely breaking up with my grandfather.
- Be by your side and separate from the natural.
I thought so, my tear glands seemed loose.
"What are you talking about? We'll still be together for a while."
"To?"
To unexpected words, Isaac replies with a loose voice between them.
"I became the Minister of Foreign Affairs. My first job is to normalize national relations with the elves. I'm supposed to go back to Wellrod with you and meet the elves with you."
If you ask me, I'm convinced that's the case, too.
It cannot be left to local lords alone, such as negotiating with heterogeneous races.
Just the lord of the territory where Morgan borders the elves, as well as the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
It is also a natural flow to be formally entrusted with negotiations as representatives of the State.
"Well then... Previously on..."
- Was it for nothing?
That's what I was about to say, but Morgan didn't let me stroke his head and talk before Isaac spoke to him.
"Your feelings were delightful. Margaret will stay in the king's capital, so tell him the same thing."
Morgan goes out at work, but Margaret does it because he divides up the mansion in the king's capital.
There is a lot of confusion between the public and private sectors, such as "I'm going to take my family with me because I'm going to self-rule at work".
Plus Margaret has a job.
It is an exchange with the wives of the nobles who work in Wang Du.
It is also necessary to have regular interactions and strengthen horizontal connections.
Just because Morgan isn't here doesn't mean he won't do anything.
A woman has a woman's battlefield.
"Okay. But say that sooner."
Isaac protests when he finds out he won't break up yet.
Even though it wasn't a lifetime goodbye, the emotions were quite caged.
If I think I'm going to say goodbye again in the same way, I'm going to be embarrassed.
"Sorry, sorry. I forgot."
That's laughing and deluding, but Morgan didn't say it on purpose.
He also felt a little lonely living away from his family.
To mislead that loneliness, I was thinking, "When we all go home to Wellrod, I'm actually going to surprise you by saying I'm going home with you."
Thanks to you, I could see Isaac's rarity.
Morgan had a satisfying grin against Isaac, who swelled his cheeks and was angry.
----------
It takes me about two weeks to get back to Wellrod and four days from there to Tilly Hill.
Not only Isaac and Morgan, but also Randolph, who will have more to negotiate in the future.
"Isaac, what is that?
The Randolph looks at the pieces arranged in the garden of Baron Olgren's mansion and asks questions.
At the end of the line of sight is a mobile sales car with modified carriages, lined with groceries, hardware and ornaments.
"That's a product to sell to the elves. This time it will be a meeting in the city, not near the forest. So I'm going to pay 20,000 leads as an ankle bill. Experience how much you can buy with the daily wage you get when you work."
Randolph is in a complicated mood like he figured it out and he doesn't.
I once scolded Isaac for "never making money on his own," but he never made money working for himself.
So even if they say "how much stuff can you buy from the results you work for," it doesn't really come pinned.
"If there's anything I want, I wish I could buy it" was his common sense.
That's normal as a trace of the Marquis.
I have no experience shopping on a limited budget, so I have no choice.
Until now, when it comes to shopping, I thought it was something that would call the merchant to bring it to me.
Randolph looks at the product with interest.
Stunning to see one of them.
"Ko, this... No, no, no. Don't sell torture equipment or anything!
When Randolph takes one item from the Gray Chamber of Commerce, he orders it to be lowered.
"Father, that's cookware!
Isaac stops it.
What Randolph has in his hand is a "bubbler".
Seeing Isaac approaching, he rushes to hide it with his body.
"Isaac, don't look at this stuff. I'm just a kid."
Apparently you mistake it for a "pear of distress" for torture equipment.
They're careful not to get into the sight of young Isaac.
"No, I'm not letting you bring anything that kids shouldn't see. That's a foam. It's a tool for mixing flour and making whipped cream."
"What?
Randolph slowly reviews the foam once and for all.
If you ask me, it certainly doesn't seem to have the functionality to do a special operation.
Looks like some kind of apparatus with just similar shapes.
Shame on you for making a mistake and put it back where it originally was.
"... Isaac, how do you know about this tool?
Randolph asks questions to mislead his embarrassment.
The question was pretty pinpointedly poking at the nasty spot.
(I found out when I was working in a tavern. You can't say...... Yes!)
"Alexis told me."
"Well, I see."
Isaac once placed an order for sweets.
Besides, they are also making new products to try in order to build shops in Wangdu.
Randolph was convinced that he must have found out then.
Because it was the most likely answer.
"When you look at various things like this, don't be reminded that you don't know things..."
Randolph exhales.
I never thought I would mistake a cookware for a torture device.
There are many other instruments that I don't know how to use.
Being immature who doesn't know things, it's like being laughed at by those appliances.
Isaac takes my shocked father's hand.
"Instead, your father knows a lot that merchants and cooks don't. Even if there's something you don't know, it's no shame. One human being will know only a few things in a lifetime. If you don't know, just ask the people you know."
"So is that.... and you have a lot of knives."
Randolph was convinced by Isaac's words and continued window shopping.
I don't want it, but rarity entertains my eyes.
Not only are cooking supplies available, but there are also items that are likely to be in demand for elves living in the woods, such as knives for demolition of prey.
I noticed it at the Reid Colour Chamber of Commerce while I was looking at it.
"What, this cheap thing?
Some are as good as for the wealthy of the civilian population, but there are obviously many cheap ones lined up.
"Are you insane to sell this to an elf?," he questioned.
Because of this, I get a slightly inquisitive tone.
"Father. That's one trial to sell for as cheap as 1,000 leads. The other little good ones lead from 50,000 to 200,000, so it's for comparison."
"Hmmm..."
Randolph thinks a little.
"This is how I line up with a lot of things, because the elves may be worried about what to do with the earnings, so I actually let them shop and hold my back. For that purpose?
In fact, I bring a slightly higher item and arrange it to make them buy cheap items on a trial basis.
The aim was to stimulate appetite, and Randolph guided the answer.
- I want more things.
Even so, there are limits to bartering.
I'm sure he'll actively do his street maintenance job to make money.
"Yes, it is. For example, we would all be sure to be surprised in a good way if we started doing street maintenance near Wang Du. Because I want everyone in the elves to be motivated, even for my grandfather, who became Minister of Foreign Affairs."
- For Morgan.
That sounds good, but Randolph had a moisturizing thought.
I cannot unconditionally endorse ways to stimulate people's desires and use them successfully.
I won't stop this time because it's also profitable on the elf side, but I don't really want you to use this method.
"Isaac, it's like I don't really use this kind of method"
(Isaac is a smart kid. Be careful and you will understand)
I think so, lightly but with caution.
I can't convey my sincerity in silence because I think you'll guess.
I thought it was important to keep my mouth shut and pay attention.
"Yes, of course. If you don't use it here, it won't work."
(... I have no idea)
Unexpectedly Randolph looks up to heaven.
Isaac knew, but it was about effective use.
It is not an understanding in terms of ethics as a person.
(I guess I picked the wrong teacher. Again, are scholars and educators different......)
Randolph ended up with the same answer as Morgan: "The teacher was ineffective".
Again, when I'm dealing with Isaac, I guess that's what I think.
But it is also his responsibility that Isaac has been distorted.
My parents, Morgan and Margaret, were close to each other.
And I think I could be an adult who can think of others.
Myself and Lucia are a good couple.
So I'm sure Isaac thought he could be an adult who could think of others, too.
But there was a definitive difference.
Melinda and Nathan exist.
Without them, Isaac would have grown up as a sweet child until he was older.
But in order to cope with the imminent problem of inheritance of the governor, Isaac himself had unknowingly lost his precious object somewhere as someone to brake on.
You don't have to realize that Isaac has memories of his past life.
