In the middle of October, Isaac and the others leave for the King's Capital.
This time, Mathias was specially accompanied as a guest.
"The national guest treatment stinks," he said, but it broke when he eagerly dictated to the envoy from the royal family, "I want you to come because I will treat you as a regular guest".
Mathias' son and wife - Claude's parents - had also been invited, but they insisted.
Not all elves want to interact with humans or are dissatisfied with life today.
"I am satisfied enough with my current life and I can still live as I am," said a certain number of those who refuse to change.
And they were classified as the side of those who were happy with their lives today.
But not enough to stop others from trying to interact with humans.
I sent Mathias out pleasantly.
Mathias was also a little curious about what was going on with the Reid kingdom right now, he said.
When I had to go out, it looked like a coward.
Looking at Mathias like that, Isaac speaks to Claude.
"Good luck, Mr. Claude"
Thumbs up gleefully.
Instead of answering with words, Claude had a pulling grin.
Because I, my grandson, must contain Mathias well.
He speaks beforehand to Elias and the others not to speak ill of the historical king, such as "00 was a boring man".
But it could get polo out somewhere.
Claude had been entrusted with that follow-up role.
If you try him, you'll want to curse those who called Mathias back "because he's an old big man".
Isaac is also at the bottom of the curse list.
From the standpoint, I know I have to tell you about Mathias, but "could you have kept quiet that Grandpa was involved with the Reid Kingdom," Claude resented in an eight-win mood.
The streets to the Wang capital were maintained by the elves, making it a very calm itinerary, except in the heart of Claude, who wished that "nothing would happen in the Wang capital and that peaceful days could be lived".
----------
Claude's wish is quickly smashed.
Because after the meeting with the king, the nobles have applied for the meeting.
Nolan Welrod, one of the founding heroes.
"I want to meet with his leading collaborators," the meeher-spirited applied to see him and killed him.
The accompanying claude looks hard and spicy.
To calm my mind, I was feeling more comfortable consuming chocolate confectionery.
Isaac on the other hand got easier.
Mathias is gaining in popularity, so I head over there without applying to see Isaac.
Apparently, there are many aristocrats who apply to see someone when they become famous that year.
Thanks to you, I was going to have some slow time this year.
Nevertheless, I do not intend to spend time for no reason.
He turns eight, has seven years to enroll in college, and only 10 years to graduate.
We must occupy a solid position in the aristocratic society by then.
I don't have time to rest.
First, I decided to talk to my grandfather, who was exchanging letters.
Morgan also seemed happy with his first grandson ingredient in a long time.
"What happened to the ice candy store in Elf?
The topic has always bothered me.
In a world without refrigerators, cold ice cream and so on should become popular.
Besides, handmade by just the right boys and cute girls.
I was sure I could definitely sell it.
But Morgan's expression is sinister.
"That's it." Why don't you just use an elf for all the Wellrod family? "It's getting louder and harder to open a store in Wangdu. Those who saw the magic of the elves that built the streets began to appear and let themselves use the power of the elves."
"Oh... are you finally starting to come out..."
I have been somewhat prepared since the decision was made to carry out street maintenance for other territories from Wang Du.
- Until now, it was just a vague elf statue left in the book, but I actually want to see the magic power and use it myself.
It's natural to think so.
Anyone should want to use their powerful powers as they please, even if they don't use them for war.
If you want to use it for confectionery shops, you can't help but think about developing your own territory.
Even Isaac wanted to drive them all out and turn them to territorial maintenance if he could order them to.
Some of them might just stick up at the Marquis Wellrod house and want to use an elf.
Some would be afraid of a breakdown in the balance of power between the nobles.
But only this time, it's a mistake.
"But it's not for the Wellrod family, it's for the elves."
I'm not going to accept Isaac very much either.
The main purpose of this matter is not to "make money for yourself", but to secure an elf workplace.
- A place to settle and work, rather than a job like street maintenance that travels every day.
I was going to make a store to sell ice confectionery for that.
Besides, it's not for 100% of the elves, it's also for your own benefit.
- Strengthen the link between the elves and human society.
This is also of great benefit to Isaac.
The presence of Isaac, who has become a bridge of friendship and still haunts his head for the elves, is becoming a great thing for the elves.
The easier and more interactive the relationship goes, the more they will say and do things that protect nature and Isaac.
That way, we can establish a somewhat more or less status in the aristocratic society against the backdrop of a small but powerful number of elves.
We can also use our established position to further expand our forces.
Oddly enough, Isaac used a similar approach to Nolan, the first contemporary.
"It's a tricky one. I guess I'm going to put some difficulty on it for now and pull some concessions out of this one. But it is true that we are not the only contact points for elves, we are the only ones using our power. It's hard to ignore."
"I have also heard that there are elves in the territory of the Count Brander family. What do you say we negotiate with your elves ourselves?
Isaac gave the name of the Earl of Brander family, which has territory in the northern part of the kingdom.
We had a friendly relationship.
I wanted to give it to the other nobles as a tool and avoid anything they didn't like.
Isaac thought we could negotiate with the other elves ourselves if we had to.
"I guess you don't know because you're just young, but it's human beings trying to hang around and make things easier without doing something on their own. It would be easier to demand to use an elf near the village of Morane, where there is now an exchange, so we will not be able to try to negotiate a new one where there is a risk of collision. Those are the majority."
"... that's a tough one"
Isaac exhales a deep sigh.
"That's what human beings are and nobility are. If you grow up too, you have to do well in a world like that. Get used to it."
"... Yes"
I guess their ancestors were willing to take risks without sparing any effort.
Otherwise, nobility would have had nothing to do with it.
Years of warm water living by vested interests, however, corrupted the offspring.
Instead of creating it with your own hands, how do you capture many pies made by others?
With minimal effort, I guess it changed to the idea of wanting to mutilate the maximum benefit.
It is also unwillingness on Isaac's part not to think of a balance of power between nobles, but just to be pulled by the stubbornness of "give me my share".
As much as I'd love to kill them all, I'm the one who can try to do that now.
The degree of calm I understand that I still have to endure goes hand in hand.
But I'm angry.
"Now it may be that the Elves will voluntarily open ice candy shops in Wellrod, but let's just say that the Marquis will not cooperate and won't know much about it. I don't know anything about it either, so if anyone is dissatisfied with it, should I ask the elves to say it directly?"
Isaac grins badly with a nigga.
If it's only "the elves just leave the store voluntarily," I can't complain.
A trade agreement was reached, allowing the elves to move freely through the country of the Kingdom of Reed, as did other foreigners.
You are also allowed to rent a store and do business.
In Wellrod territory, Randolph could have started the store as soon as he gave permission.
The elves don't travel within the kingdom because they're still on guard.
You can let them open the store for the reason that "I started seeing things in Wellrod territory with some interaction".
So why did Isaac try to start the store after obtaining permission from around him?
That's because I was thinking about opening a store in Wangdu.
I naturally thought that if I opened an elf shop in Wang Du, there would also be people out there who wanted to "bite".
I thought I should be involved in the management of the store jointly with such a person.
But it's not an offer of cooperation, it's nothing to give me to someone who just wants to give me an elf.
Now he gave up entering the King's Capital of Elves and chose to open the store when the opportunity came once again.
"That being said, I'm actually the one standing on the arrow, right?
Morgan looks bitter at Isaac's answers.
"The Marquis Wellrod family is still willing to monopolize the elves" would be blamed if they were allowed to open stores in Wellrod territory.
As for the elves, they should also say, "I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs, so tell the other nobles to give me the manpower to cooperate".
- Marquis Welrod. Head of the family and Minister for Foreign Affairs.
At the time of his inauguration, I never thought this title would be so burdensome.
"I'm counting on Grandpa"
Knowing or not Morgan's heart, Isaac relies on it with a good smile.
If you look like that, you can't even say no as Morgan.
"... let's do something about this year. But after next year, there will be a louder call to hire more elves to work. We have to figure out a way to shut them up, or stop making them work at confectioners and show them the will not to monopolize the Marquis Welrod family alone. Don't forget that."
"Thank you, Grandpa!
Isaac hugs Morgan.
I was given a year's respite.
That's all I appreciate now.
Eliminate Melinda and Nathan next year.
The aftermath of that commotion would blow up elf dispatch stories and such.
Isaac was going to get lost in dsaxa and earn a few more years.
Not knowing Isaac's soul and guts, Morgan thought, "It's tough because I'm going to forgive other nobles."
But now I was just happy to be able to please my lovely grandson.
