Din no Monshou

By the proclamation of Sonia, the merchant king's council opened the curtain.

First Sonia, the lead merchant king, opened her mouth.

"Okay. I will tell you what we will discuss today.

I would like to present two main proposals. "

That said, I'm going to line up the reasons for this convocation.

First of all, to set up measures against frequent Dragon Knight raids.

He said the dragoon's onslaught had continued to an unusual extent in the Union over the past year.

Even after the decree of the assembly, the damage was on the increase.

The extreme of this is the capital raid that we have also experienced and the attempted murder of a merchant king at sea.

Even when the dragoon is raging, it also interferes with the business, which is the main business.

The first thing you need to do is think about what to do.

And the other is about the stone slabs that will be talked about.

Sonia solemnly said as she looked around at each look.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Demon Bloodsucking Stone taken by the Dragon Knight - remember?"

Demon Blood Stone.

The moment the word came out, many merchant kings stifled their faces.

For them it is an article equal to life.

There is no reason to be hypersensitive.

Sonia holds her chest down after she brings out her fear of death.

"When will it be destroyed and what will it pay for?

If you had your heart tied to a tablet, you would have been sleepless at night.

And so did I. "

Almost all the merchant kings, with the exception of some of the pro-Imperialists, have stone plates and hearts linked.

Taking the Demon Bloodsucking Stone as a threat backwards, Sonia is trying to increase her sense of union.

All of us are destined people together.

"But don't worry.

Dragons with demonic blood-sucking stones were exhausted and flowing into kingdom territory.

And there are those who picked up the tablet and delivered it to the royal family. "

Here, Sonia's pouring her gaze over here.

It's our turn.

I get up from my seat with Walkins and Bud and get an introduction by her.

"Kingdom nobility - Mr. Regis Din. and the subjects of the kingdom."

"I am honored to be present at such a glorious meeting"

Bad salute.

The feeling of biting gravel spreads to the back of your brain.

But I'm getting used to it a lot...... should be.

I minimized the sense of bar reading and thanked them both.

And I take a step and move straight next to Sonia.

"Mr. Regis, it's a demon bloodsucking stone -"

"Yes. Here."

Remove the pulsating demon vampire stone from the nostrils.

Then, the merchants gave a visible and reassuring look.

So much so that some of them exhale heavily and weaken.

I bowed my head again and gave Sonia the tablet.

"May the two countries continue to be friendly, this is what I ask of you on behalf of the Kingdom"

"I'd like you to be the lead merchant."

Demon Bloodsucking Stone to be given.

This interaction is important.

The merchant king of the Royalist sect applauded the meeting in high spirits for having held a prior meeting.

Fished by it, the neutral merchant kings are also swallowed by the air.

On top of that, the royalist merchants shouted for a drink.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!

"Without regard to the danger of being targeted by Dragoon barbarians,

I didn't expect you to come back to the Union like this!

"This is the hard bond between our country and our kingdom!

I won't have to rely on it anymore!

Covered shooting by the Royalists.

For them, whose kingdom is the best customer, is just the opportunity for prosperity.

It creates an enthusiasm that just swallows the field.

In contrast, many of the pro-Imperialists looked bitter.

After a series of applauses, Sonia tells me to calm down.

"Thank you, Regis.

I hope you will inform His Majesty the King that this is the majority of the merchant kings who feel beneficial to the Kingdom. "

"Thank you. Happiness. I'm happy to accept it."

All right, first gate breaks through.

Return the Demon Bloodsucking Stone and diffuse the atmosphere that bestows on the Kingdom.

Now that we've accomplished this, we're moving on to the next step.

I cut out with my head down deep.

"I just want to ask the Merchant King for one thing."

"What is it?

Sonia's companion.

I breathe and state my memorized mouth.

"It's your demon-sucking stone.

It was found inside a golden dragon flowing into the waters of the kingdom. "

Yes, the next step for the Demon Bloodsucking Stone is the processing of the Golden Dragon.

We must deliver the tablet and divert the hate of the Dragoon camp from the kingdom to the United Nations.

I play a bitter look while adding Golden Dragon commentary.

"In other words, if simply the kingdom were to deliver the tablet, the dragoons would misunderstand.

It was at the hands of the kingdom that the golden dragon died. "

I intend to bury it from the outer moat as much as possible.

But I guess some merchants understood what they wanted to say.

Give me a break, I look like that.

But I was resolute in saying it.

"So, I'm very sorry -" it was the United States that took the Golden Dragon ".

I would like you to officially release this statement. "

That concludes what I have to say.

Sonia should be able to sum up the general remarks later.

If we get past this, we'll end what I have to do at the King of Merchants.

"Stupid!

"Have you lost your blood, messenger of the kingdom?"

Here, an anger echoed in this great hall.

The merchant kings of the pro-Imperial faction made a scene in unison.

Bad, even though they say it's unfavourable to be messing with the field air here.

Sonia rushes to instruct her fellow merchant king with eye contact.

But sooner than that, the pro-Imperialists have shouted out intense objections.

"You don't know where that dragon died or what caused it!

"A Marine in the Kingdom might have stabbed Todome!?"

"Can we make a statement or something until we find out what caused it!

A statement that is close to Azure.

As a person who knows why the Golden Dragon died, he has to be shuddered.

But the story of these people cannot be ascertained from other merchant kings.

There is a gap to follow there.

I told you, it's a win.

"... after the Kingdom side had learned the facts,

Is it possible you're impersonating responsibility?

A merchant king of one of the neutrals snapped at Bosoli.

With that in mind, a little agitation spreads among the neutrals.

Here the merchant king of the pro-Imperial faction added his pursuit.

"If you announce that you killed the Golden Dragon, etc., it could be taken as a provocation!

It is clear that the merchant king bordering the dragoon camp will be harmed.

You can't admit it, with the shoulders of the kingdom and proposals that will bring disaster to our country!

"Well... calm down a little.

If you don't know the cause, that's what makes you doubt the kingdom. "

A calm voice passed through the overheating round table.

pro-Imperial factions whose Herabellio incites distrust of the kingdom;

And they found the Neutral Kings of Commerce.

"And, bye.

Did you send your soldiers when the tablet was taken in the first place?

In the wake of that gaze, all the merchants press silence.

Yes. When the Dragon Knight robbed the Demon Bloodsucking Stone, many merchant kings did not send soldiers.

This lapse is enormous while there is a perception that all merchant kings cooperate and defend.

After confirming that, Herabellio continues.

"Wherever the golden dragon dies, it is certain that it was the dragon killer who shot it down.

Doesn't it make any difference that the responsibility lies with our country?

The eldest of the merchant kings and the largest treasury of the neutrals.

With such Herabellio's persuasion, there will be fewer voices to blame the kingdom or Sonia one by one.

But there's no way a pro-Imperialist merchant could be watching this in silence.

"Lord Herabellio.

You're just flattered by the kingdom you've delivered, the fear of having your heart tied to a tablet.

Don't let the masses get you wrong. "

Here I opened my mouth to a man sitting next to the right of Zepil.

Sure, it should have been named Avalo Silver Islia.

Alongside Zanakov, who sits next to Zepil's left, is the No. 2 pro-Imperialist.

I hear of an emerging merchant king who has made a tremendous fortune in a one-sided purchase of ore against Dwarves.

Herabellio, disputed by Avalo, but he says back in a floating manner.

"That's a young man's dialogue.

My Gildia family has not succumbed to anyone more than it did in its first generation and has been through neutrality.

You wouldn't know a thing about waving your tail at the Empire. "

It is obvious that the merchant king of the pro-Imperial sect is through with the Empire, but it is missed by implicit understandings.

We ran there directly, so Avalo also showed a sharp high.

"No certainty whatsoever! Have you lost your mind!

"You are the one who listens carefully to your mouth.

Even the same king of merchants is Goulder.

Unlike your fragile (Silver), you don't need to be flattered. "

Golder, and Silver.

This is the title that the Merchant King names, and it seems to mean his character as the Merchant King as it is.

the merchant kings of the Union, respectively,

Separated from Golder Silver Bronzer.

There are three golders in total.

Silver has 5 houses.

There are 10 bronzers.

Do you think that the size is determined by the high level of contribution, such as the amount of cash paid to the Union?

By the way, the three merchants counted among the golders are oddly rosy to each faction.

One is the Astrite family led by Sonia - the Prince Royalist.

One is the Gildia family led by Herabellio - the Neutralists.

One is the Duranil family led by Zepil - the pro-Imperialist.

The following Silvers are one for the Prince, two for the Neutral, and two for the Pro-Imperial.

Bronzer has two houses in the Royalist sect, five in the neutral sect, and three in the pro-Imperial sect.

The number of votes in the King of Merchants' Council is equal, one by one.

However, due to conflict and power relations, there may be ties that go beyond factions during meetings?

That's probably what the zepils are after.

As for this one, I'm just pointing fingers at the pro-Imperialists as they consolidate their votes so they don't get in the mouth.

But the argument was white-hot where it had nothing to do with this thought.

Avalo ravages his voice and eats down to Herabellio.

"You've lost your heart, Lord Herabellio.

Whether it's Silver or not, I'm a businessman named for this seat too!

Unlike you who rub your life against the Astright family, I am proud of this seat!

If you pull here, it affects your impression of the faction.

Avalo doesn't pull a step because how much neutralism he can hold in is a battle.

In contrast to him, Herabellio seemed to have pioneered.

"Even if you say so, you Gridra family have burned your hands."

Herabellio sighs and recieves.

But here Avalo turned out stunned to be "incredible".

He sets up his blues and yells at Herabellio.

"Gridra was the king of merchants 50 years ago! We're talking about when!

"Oh, I'm sorry... your city is so annoyed by frequent changes in the king of merchants"

This grandfather did something similar to Sonia.

Is it for stirring up the other person, or do you really forget?

I can't tell because it's floating.

"Well, I just remembered.

You're a drug-selling baroist. "

"That was 80 years ago the Merchant King......!

Lord Herabellio, perhaps insult our home. "

Avalo's eyes were completely seated.

If this wasn't the meeting place, I would have pulled out my sword and slashed it.

Well, it's extremely disrespectful to obsessively misname a house.

If you do it in the kingdom, you'll be resented for the rest of your life.

But where does Herabellio look at Avallo in the breeze he blows?

"I'm not interested in elephants.

Well, I don't care about that.

I don't know what to tell you, little merchant, but you hear your ears pounding. "

Control Avalo and demand that he wait for his statement.

And Herabellio took a small breath and pronounced it in a serious tone.

"Non is neutral at all times.

But now he obeys benevolence and has Nash's shoulders only on this occasion. That's it. "

A concise word.

The merchant kings around him also bow down to Herabellio, who has declared his shoulder to the princely kingdom.

But at that moment, Avalo lit a strong light behind his eyes.

I found a thread to fight back - that's what I'm talking about.

He insisted aloud in an attempt to discredit Herabellio.

"You saw it, you heard it, everybody!

Line up the manoeuvres and end up with this ugly escape to conservancy!

The Gildia family, always going down the middle road, can hear you!

With that said, Avalo gives his gaze to the neutrals.

I guess I totally meant to accomplish it.

But the sight that spread there wasn't what he wanted.

――――

The Neutral Merchant King looked at Avalo with confusion and suspicion.

Well, that was bad for you.

The merchant king of the Empire complained about the neutral Herabello.

From the outside, it just seems to be guiding the interests to the Empire.

On top of that, the Gildia family, led by Herabellio, is the oldest house with more genealogy than the first Merchant King.

Achievement and reliability are very different from Avalo, an emerging achievement.

With the gaze that was directed at him, Avalo was stunned.

".................. ugh"

But I guess I can't get this far and pull it off.

He still tries to spin some counterattack language.

But here came those who would stop Avalo.

Not Sonia.

Someone who, if normal, should be on his side, calmly controlled him.

"It'll be good enough, Avalo. You pull."

"... but Lord Zepil"

Zepil came in to stop it.

Top immediate orders of the pro-Imperialists.

In response to the sudden friendly fire, Avalo gives a bewildered look.

But Zepil spoke kindly to him.

"Lord Herabellio's disrespect for the long tradition of the house.

It would be great to think of the past when we kept running away from domestic events using neutrality as a shield. "

I don't know if it sounds like a compliment. Much more advanced technique.

As a discussant with an active past, I have to admit that sedition skill.

But Herabellio takes that provocation lightly.

"What happened in the country...? Oh, a bunch of sparks you brought in more than a bad country."

"I don't recommend unsupported gossip.

Because they doubt your character as a golder. "

Both golders scatter sparks quietly.

However, the structure of conflict between the largest forces of the neutrals and the pro-Imperial summarizers was completed.

Convenient for this one.

Have you stepped on it enough to be effective anymore, or Sonia will go into a fearful arbitration.

"Gi... please be careful with any private language that deviates from the agenda"

"Oh, I'm sorry about this"

It was Zepil who lowered his head first.

He can be stopped by Sonia. No, no, I let him back off without any untraining.

I guess Herabellio also felt uncomfortable with that response.

Even with his complex face, he encouraged Sonia to make a MC progression.

"Whatever it is, it is up to us to decide which is right.

We're going to vote sick on the Golden Dragon's murder statement. "

Sonia breathes heavily accordingly.

And he made a resolution that would be the biggest mountain range in this Merchant King's Council.

"We will now adopt a proposal to officially announce that it was the United States that took the Golden Dragon."

That's what she took out, the paper where the magic dwelled.

It doesn't seem like a magic device, but is it magical?

Looks like it's meant to prevent counterfeiting and manipulation.

After distributing it to all, she called for a vote.

"On the paper at hand, please indicate whether you agree or disagree"

The voice is triggered, and successively the Merchant King holds the brush.

Make sure everyone has finished filling it out and collect the paper carefully.

"I will now invoice you -"

After receiving confirmation, Sonia started aggregating.

And the moment she checked the full vote, she opened her eyes with surprise.

Oh, my God, what have we got?

Has it become an opposite majority?

You think an earlier tongue fight affected you that much?

"We have a positive vote on the announcement of the statement."

Sonia holding bundled paper with trembling hands.

Then she has said a word of shock.

"… eighteen votes. This agenda was adopted unanimously"

Announced moment,

The unspeakable atmosphere spread among the round tables.

Eighteen votes.

That means there are zero opponents.

The pro-Imperialists were treading against it.

I thought they were rebelling against the merchant kings around them.

But the result is no unanimous opposition.

…………

If it was meant to be, this is where we should be happy.

Because my work as a messenger of the kingdom will have been fulfilled in full.

But it's too creepy.

Here, Zepil and the other pro-Imperialists clapped loudly.

"Coming across factions to national calamity.

That's great. Of course there's no dependence on me. "

Zepil smiles and looks creepy.

I glance at the expressions of other pro-Imperialists, but they all pierced their faceless expressions.

Apparently, you haven't been in favor of it with Dada or insanity.

I guess there's something going on.

"Not surprisingly. I thought you six would vote against it."

Herabellio looks to the zepils on the side.

I can turn my skeptical gaze, but Zepil was flat.

He shrugs his shoulders and speaks to Herabellio.

"Why should we hide the merits of the blow against the harmful enemy Dragoon?

We care about this country as much as you do or more.

Please refrain from any unnecessary suspicions. "

This saying.

Don't remind me of Claude, the head of the late Radius family now.

He hid his approach to the Empire, but this one's relatively open.

Freedom of the Merchant King to do business with any country as long as it adheres to the great yuan rules enacted by the Union.

That would be the difference.

You ran out of cards of offensive material, Herabellio stops making statements.

"............... it's Nash. Anything else on the agenda?

"No, there isn't. Just the return of the tablet and the adoption of a statement."

"Then that's it.

Totally, unnecessarily full of meetings. "

Herabellio slaps a ton of hips.

Using that as a border, the atmosphere begins to drift towards the closure of the Merchant Council.

Well, as a prince imperialist, it was a productive enough meeting.

Our work is finally done.

Exhaling in relief, Sonia began to state her tight mouth.

"Okay, gentlemen. We will continue to put the independence of our country first and foremost, with a kingdom that is a friendly nation -"

One moment, please.

A darkening, mixed word of conspiracy and desire.

Zowari and a chill ran as if liquid nitrogen had been poured into his back.

Zepil waited for Sonia, who was about to end the King of Merchants.

As the merchants twist their necks, Zepil presents a new proposal.

"On this day when the Merchant King has gathered momentum - this is a good opportunity.

I'd like to talk about a project that I thought I'd put on the agenda more than before. "

The round table begins to creep in.

This is something that has not been heard in advance at all.

Ask Sonia with her gaze, but she also anxiously shook her head beside her.

Apparently, she didn't envisage bringing Zepil's proposal in either.

For restraint, one of the princely imperialists asks Zepil.

"Is that what it takes for a ballot resolution?

"Of course. Otherwise it is a matter that cannot be achieved. Because"

Zepil speaks with plenty of room.

The pro-Imperialist merchant king was also hoisting the edge of his mouth.

All I'm saying is that the time has finally come.

... What, I have a terrible feeling about it.

Taking a suspicious gaze, Zepil stated his concerns.

"Article III 'Merchant conspiracy offence' in the statute of the Union.

and pursuant to Article 4, "The crime of trafficking in the merchant king-"

At that moment, the round table freezes.

The merchant kings who cease to be worthy.

In doing so, Zepil proclaimed himself resolute.

"Nation Bandit Sonia Golder Astright's" Deprivation of the Trader King Position ".

I'm filing a "beheading execution" complaint. "
