Even so, the tailors for the high nobility were about to welcome the morning as usual.
But this day was different.
The carriage with the insignia of the Duke of Enfield stopped shortly after opening.
The clerk who noticed the situation outside the store immediately called the owner.
"What? What happened?"In the meantime, open the shop. "
The shopkeeper notices the situation outside and starts selling.
Normally, the nobility would summon us to the Mansion if we needed anything.
And yet, he came all the way here.
This is clearly abnormal.
In the shopkeeper's head, an executed merchant comes to mind.
(No, there should be no punishment because the price of the product has not changed.Besides, it's strange that he comes to punish me.There must have been something going on.)
Welcome back.
The shopkeeper felt like his face was pinched, but he filled it with a sales smile.
Isaac smiled, too, but the impression of the rumor was that he was still smiling, "I came to hang you," and he was a man who could say, "I'm here to hang you," so I can't be alarmed.
I waited with a vomit-like feeling to see what kind of business I was doing.
"I'm sorry you had to open it, like it was before the opening."
“If it's for Lord Enfield, we're here to help.”
“Thank you. I have a favor to ask you.”
(C 'mon!)
There are tensions not only between shopkeepers, but also between shopkeepers.
"I want you to make a mourning suit."
"How's the mourning...?"
Isaac's request eased the tension among the clerks.
But the shopkeeper was different.
"It's for your funeral!""I was not yet alarmed at the possibility of saying so."
"Yes, it's a mourning dress. I've only been at funerals since I was a kid."I can't wear it anymore.We must prepare a new one for His Majesty Elias' funeral. "
Isaac gave a slightly illuminated expression.
"I realized this morning that I was busy working as a king's deputy."I decided to stop by to have my measurements taken before I went to the Royal Palace.Not just mine, but Baron Kirby's too. "
Yes, Isaac had forgotten about the mourning.
I forgot about the mourning clothes until I remembered talking to Pamela and the others.
The funeral the other day was sudden, so many aristocrats attended in gowns.
But not this time.
I have time to prepare, so excuses such as "I don't have mourning clothes" are not accepted.
I hurriedly decided to ask for Matt's share as well.
"Yes. Yes, of course. It is a privilege to receive such direct requests from Lord Enfield.I'll be happy to do it! ”
"I hear this store is the capital of the king."I'm counting on you to do a good job. "
Soon, Isaac and Matt started taking measurements.
Isaac's measurements were taken by the shopkeeper himself.
While being measured, Isaac asks a few questions.
"Speaking of which, are there any problems due to the rising purchase price of materials?"It doesn't matter if it's a rumor about a merchant.If you can't stand out, you can say it yourself. "
- One word.
In other words, if you're reluctant to sell your people, you don't have to snitch.
Isaac had only heard one thing on his own.
That doesn't mean selling your fellow merchants.
In addition, even if Isaac feels uncomfortable, he will not be punished.
Because I haven't heard of it, so I'm not going to punish it.
The shopkeeper showed a troubled face.
I often open my mouth after weeping.
“Some of the mid-sized chambers seem dissatisfied.I lost my chance to get a thousand dollars.However, the big chambers already want stability, and small chambers with no physical strength to bet on seem to welcome the status quo.Enfield's price controls seem to be generally accepted. ”
Changing the subject according to the customer's preference is a natural skill for those who do business with noble opponents.
The shopkeeper raised a topic that Isaac would have liked.
"I see, that's good."I want people who are dissatisfied to be happy that they can earn a stable income over the long term, rather than a temporary income. ”
"I hope so too.... Actually, I'm from Marquis Warwick Territory, and my relatives live in Marquis Warwick Territory.I was relieved that there was no disruption like ten years ago.Sometimes it's tough, but if someone like Lord Enfield becomes king...No, this was an overstatement. I'm sorry. "
"Never mind. No one can punish a word that no one has ever heard."
Isaac replied, gutting himself in his heart.
(Yo-yo! My reputation is great.There's a good flow!)
The Braak Chamber of Commerce and others have also reported Isaac's good reputation.
― ― Merchants are highly regarded, but the general public is highly regarded.
Price control was a very important measure, and it seemed to guarantee a constant everyday life.
Moreover, the influence of merchants is great, but the number of ordinary citizens is overwhelming.
If there is an overwhelming support, the merchants will meet you there.
It seems that the idea of bringing the majority of the people to their side has been successful.
After the measurement, the shopkeeper wrote various things on the paper.
So Isaac summons Norman.
"By the way, is it possible to make room for the clothes and fine-tune them later?"
“Sure, I can. What can I do for you?”
"I want you to prepare not only my mourning clothes, but also the other people's share."If you are a student, you can wear student clothes, but people my age have just graduated.Even the slightly older ones would not have prepared a mourning if there were no misfortune in them.I want the dough to be ready and ready to be tailored right away. ”
Norman places a large bag on the counter.
Isaac shows the owner the contents of the bag.
"There are 100 million leads. I will pay for the clothes in advance, so even if the prepared dough is wasted, you will not lose.If you run out, charge the Marquis of Well Rod. ”
"If the funeral is in two months, it might be difficult to make a mourning suit for 100 million leads..."
"For the rest, give them a reward for the needles."The nobles who live in the region and the nobles who are going to capture Count Brandar's territory will be busy when they return. I won't be able to rest for a while. "
Isaac was about to spend a lot of money.
It is a mourning, but the funeral is for the royalty.
Even young people should want to avoid appearing in a normal dress.
Such meticulous care grabs people's hearts.
By now, Pamela and the others will be doing the same in the women's clothing store.
Isaac chuckles.
“I'm going to ask other stores to do the same.They will be busy securing free needles and securing fabrics.Don't get into a fight. "
Hah, I will act with great care.
While saying so, the shopkeeper begins to think, “We must secure the needle with a high reward.”
Because if you hire it cheaply, it will be pulled by other stores.
― ― How to make profits from 100 million leads while keeping labor costs low.
At the time of the request, competition with other stores had begun.
----------
Isaac, who served in the royal palace, was doing his usual job.
"Amanda-san is in the capital?I was worried and I'd like to see you, but I don't think I can do it right now.If you don't mind, can you tell him I'd like to invite him to dinner? "
It's a plain paperwork, but it's necessary for the Reed Kingdom right now.
Isaac replied to the envoy that he could not delay his affairs.
I bet Amanda's envoy didn't expect to see her right away.
He didn't stick around like the Marquis of Warwick, he just brought back something for me.
(Tiffany and the others have arrived, and if everyone is invited and welcomed, the engagement story won't be cut out.)
At lunchtime, eat with people who fit the break.
The day was a dinner with Count Cooper and Count Wridge.
"Uncle Uridge is able to sign off on tasks that take time to get used to, such as signing a warrant for execution.However, you have a rare talent in terms of enforcing the law, but it may still take some time for you to become an arbiter. ”
In the words of Count Cooper, Count Uridge shines.
Isaac smiled bitterly, too.
(As rumored, he must have been a nuisance.)
― ― Has a sense of justice of its own, and its emotions are strong.
It is good to have the determination to "judge criminals".
But, if you think behind the words of Count Cooper, you're saying, "The judgment is too harsh."
From the standpoint of the Deputy Minister of Justice, you must be judged in accordance with the law.
Appointing the wrong person to the position of Deputy Minister of Justice is causing a bit of trouble.
But we can't remove Count Wridge.
Only a man like him can execute Nicole and the others.
Count Cooper seems to be fine, but he might be out there somewhere.
In that regard, Count Wridge would not hesitate to serve his sentence.
Because there is a good place, there is a job that can be entrusted to you.
"You'll have to get used to it one by one."By the way, have you been able to calculate how many houses you have to judge? ”
"Yeah... I got it."
― ― ― A house that must be judged.
This includes houses other than the Baron of Nettle Halls and the Earl of Brandar.
It wasn't a very pleasant topic.
But it was also an inevitable topic.
“Not only the Baron of Nettle Halls and his relatives, but also the nobility under the umbrella of the Count of Brander.The Countess is only the Countess of Brandar.The Viscount shall be the Fourteen, and the Baron the Forty-seven.However, this is on paper.Those who are related to the Jasonian nobility, but are fighting as the Eliasites, will be acquitted.If you look into it, will you be punished for half of it? ”
"There's no way we're going to get quite a few."It was not just His Majesty Elias, it was His Highness Mills.We can't forgive the traitors to the Reed Kingdom. "
The Brandar family and the nobility under their umbrella had to be crushed.
However, even in the immediate line, those who have been adopted into another family will have to change the punishment depending on their position.
If you wish, you may take over the family name that bears the indelible stigma.
By the way, how are the Baronesses of Nettle Halls?
When Nicole talked about it, Count Cooper said it painfully.
Count Uridge answers in his place.
"I want you to meet Lord Enfield.I was screaming that if I talked to her, she would understand.I heard about Emerald Lake, so I don't think I should let them see me, so I ignore them. ”
Count Cooper was surprised to see his eyes rounded when he replied lightly to Count Uridge.
I didn't report that I wanted to see Isaac.
However, this was also for Isaac.
I don't know what Isaac would do if he was under Nicole's influence.
"Please do so. I don't want to see you either."
But Isaac didn't even show the gesture of seeing each other.
The majestic attitude reassured Count Cooper that Isaac was not being manipulated.
"The mother of the Baroness Nettlehalls is a little stubborn that she doesn't even know she was tempted to take the throne."The same holds true for her family, the Viscount Brennan family, and those close to the Baron of Nettle Halls.However, such a little girl is not something that can be done by herself.There must be someone working with us.I'll find out! "
Count Uridge was in a good mood.
I lost all my beloved royals.
The anger is great.
But the tip of that anger was wrong.
(That's right, Nicole, you can't do this alone.)
― ― A man eating custard pudding in front of him.
--because that man was the culprit of everything.
“It's not something that Baroness Nettlehalls can do alone.But that's not necessarily a relative. ”
“Does anyone have any idea!”
Count Cooper and Count Uridge look at Isaac with accusations as they say, "If so, tell me first."
"It's Jason. I'm the prince, so there was something I could do."In the relatives of the Baron of Nettle Halls, the Viscount Brennan family is arguably the most powerful.However, as far as the Viscount family is concerned, its power is below.Helping to steal it doesn't have much of an impact.Jason went for Nicole.Or perhaps you should think that Nicole just seduced Jason. ”
Isaac's answer was simple and straightforward.
- Jason.
His presence is great.
However, no one could have imagined that Nicole had stepped out of the way because of the strong impression he had had before him.
Even now there are still unbelievers.
Some wanted to believe that he had not stepped out of the way, but that someone had stepped out of the way.
That's why it was hard to think of me as the main culprit.
Count Cooper and Count Uridge also silenced, thinking, "After all, is Jason the culprit of all this?"
“It's not surprising that I don't want to hold Jason responsible because I know him from the past because he's royal.There may be salvation for those who think so. ”
“You see the reaction of Michael and Charles at the time of the execution.”
“That's right. If this assumption is true, you will know that Baroness Nettlehalls is solely responsible.However, some of you will regret it..... "
― ― If I hadn't met Nicole, I would have remained a wise prince.
The stronger the loyalty to the royal family, the stronger the regrets.
But it was something I had to do.
- To impose all responsibility on Nicole!
At the end of the conversation, one of Isaac's secretaries comes up to you and hears you.
"Since Judith has arrived in the capital, I would like to invite you to join me for dinner with Uncle Lancaster..."
(I'm inviting Amanda over tonight.... yes!)
"Today, I'm inviting Amanda to dinner."She was on the battlefield, too, so it would be reassuring to see her classmates' faces.If you don't mind, you can bring Judith along and ask her to attend. "
Isaac's head was filled with the words "two tigers competing for food."
If we confront Amanda and Judith, they'll hold us back.
I'm sure Isaac will be safe.
Besides, Pamela's stomach grew bigger.
There shouldn't be any problems.
Isaac gives both of them a serious look.
"They are not the only ones to come to the capital."The other aristocrats will come too.What could happen at that time is the rampage of lynching.Many of them admired His Majesty Elias.But the Jasonians must be brought to justice.I look forward to your work so as not to be disrespectful to the laws of the country. "
“I'll take care of it. It's easy to control the movement of anyone who tries to lynch Jasonians.The most troublesome thing is that the law allows them to attack the last minute. "
Oh, who is that nuisance?
Well, I wonder who it is.
Count Cooper may have been a fool in the last few months.
