My Lucky Encounter From the Game Turned Into Reality - Chapter 123
The luck in the game becomes reality Episode 123
31. Reorganization of power (3)
Adrian’s words that he will help you find your country.
Princess Xia Lin’s heart pounded as she heard the story she had been longing for, but she soon calmed down with a deep breath.
Adrian’s words were very grateful, but unfortunately, the place she was trying to ask for help was the Republic of Prius, not the Kingdom of Reinharts.
It is true that the Kingdom of Reinharts is a more powerful country than the Kingdom of Roberto, but it is a country too far away, and moreover, he is not the king of this country.
No matter how outstanding a person he is, the help that a single noble can provide is bound to be limited.
‘You’re pushing yourself because you feel sorry for me.’
Princess Xia Lin couldn’t help but think so.
Although she appreciated his words, she could only shake her head.
“I can’t cause you any more trouble than this. “Reinharts is too far away from our Roberto.”
Adrian smiled at her remark.
“You don’t believe in my abilities?”
Unlike his pictorial-like smile, his words caught her off guard.
Princess Xia Lin was confused and confused.
“Oh no, I know very well that the Duke is an outstanding person. You are a resourceful person who became an archmage at the age of only 20 under a bad environment, made a lot of money through investments, and even achieved the highest rank of nobility at a young age. There is probably no person in this world comparable to Duke Lawrence. He is truly the world’s greatest genius. And I can tell that you cared a lot for me just by seeing that I woke up safely, even though I would have been seriously injured. “Not only is he outstanding, but he is also very considerate.”
Adrian was her idol.
He was a model of a young and capable person.
With the added option of being a lifesaver, how could you ignore Adrian?
Princess Xia Lin waves her hand loudly and noisily applies gold paint to Adrian’s face.
Adrian burst out laughing when he saw her like that.
Princess Xia Lin blushed with embarrassment and ended her sentence by scratching her cheek.
“That’s why I can’t hold the Duke’s outstretched hand. This is a fight of no benefit to the Duke. “Don’t waste your time feeling sorry for someone like me.”
Even when her environment wasn’t good, she didn’t have the habit of putting herself down.
I could feel that her self-esteem had dropped significantly due to the recent rebellion.
Adrian nodded.
However, the atmosphere does not feel like he will follow her words.
Rather, I felt like I liked the way she didn’t give a damn.
He pulled a chair nearby and sat down next to the bed.
“What if there is something that would benefit me and a way to quell the rebellion without the Kingdom of Robert being involved in a major war?”
And her eyes opened wide at the answer that followed.
“yes?”
“Honestly, I like Princess Lin. But it’s not a feeling that would make me think about going to war.”
“….”
“Others call me the most emotionally faithful nobleman in the world. However, in my own way, I have a tendency to look at the calculator and weigh profits. “For me, my own safety is the most important thing.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that the princess can give me a reward worth risking everything.”
Princess Xia Lin tilted her head, saying that she was not sure about the reward that the resolute Adrian had mentioned, but her face became even redder as if she was embarrassed that she had made a mistake.
“And rather than asking for help from the Republic of Prius, it would be better to get help from myself. Should we call it cost-effective?”
“May I know what reward you seek?”
What Adrian wanted was not that big of a deal from her perspective.
“Please lease Ophelia Island for free on the condition that it be returned after 50 years.”
“Ophelia Island?”
“Yes, I would like you to allow me to use Ophelia Island as my own land for 50 years.”
A very unexpected request to lease territory.
Therefore, Princess Xia Lin lost herself in thought with an expression of confusion.
Rondel is shaped like four continents surrounding the ‘Sea of Storms’, the center of the world.
To the left of the Sea of Storms is Defteron, a huge continent with 11 countries, including the Bringham Empire, the Croisen Empire, and the Everhill Reinharts Kingdom.
To the right of the Sea of Storms are the Tetarton Continent of the Republic of Prius, the Triton Continent of the six Eastern countries, including the Kingdom of Robert, and the Prota Continent of the Elysia Alliance.
However, the area occupied by the Sea of Storms and the four continents in Rondel is not very large.
If the planet is split in half, one side will contain all four continents and the Sea of Storms, and the other side will contain a vast ocean without a single continent.
People call the vast sea behind Rondel, where there is nothing, the Sea of Silence, but there are only about 20 lonely islands floating in that sea.
Ophelia Island, which Adrian requested, was one of the remote islands owned by the Kingdom of Robert floating on the Sea of Silence.
‘The area is about the size of a baronial territory in the Kingdom of Reinharts… but other than the fact that a large amount of tourmaline is mined, it has no special features.’
No matter how remote the island is, there is bound to be resistance to giving land to other countries.
However, if it is a rental method, the story is different.
Especially if it is about 50 years rather than 100 years.
If Adrian could hold her hand and put the kingdom’s rebellion to rest, the reward would be almost free.
Because she misunderstood again.
They say they just want to help themselves, but they don’t have any justification, so they’re just trying to fit in.
No, rather than a misunderstanding, it was a wishful thinking.
“Are you saying that is the only reward that will quell the rebellion in our country?”
“As I will tell you in advance, my purpose is the tourmaline embedded there. “It boasts the world’s largest oil reserves, right?”
“But even now, tourmaline can be obtained at a reasonable price. “Isn’t it too much of a loss?”
Tourmaline, also known as tourmaline, is a mineral that is difficult to call a gem, but has a pretty color that makes it a stone.
There are various colors depending on the production area, but the tourmaline excavated from Ophelia Island is a red-colored tourmaline with a subtle purple tint.
Although tourmaline is a more expensive product, it is only slightly more expensive than quartz.
In fact, its value was given because it is used in alchemy.
“Even if the public doesn’t know about it, it can’t be said to be of low value if there is a way for me to use it usefully.”
“That’s true, but…”
“Furthermore, I want a larger amount of tourmaline than is available on the market.”
At this point, it was impossible not to know that tourmaline was his real goal.
Her expression looked somewhat regretful.
‘What on earth are they going to use that much tourmaline for?’
Princess Xia Lin wanted to ask that, but held back and returned to the origin of the topic.
“Can we really end this situation without a major war?”
“Yes, because it puts less pressure on me.”
Princess Xia Lin nodded to him.
“If you really want to do that, what is a 50-year lease? “I will lease it for 100 or 200 years.”
“There is no need for that. “The person who will become queen should not be heard saying that she sold her country’s territory to another country.”
Even at the mention of queen, Princess Xia Lin showed no signs of excitement and was confused.
Adrian said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
“Nothing good will come of wasting time.”
The princess looked at him and gathered her thoughts one last time.
Common sense suggests that it would be more likely to ask for help from the Prius Republic, but looking at the confidence in his actions and eyes, I couldn’t help but believe it.
This may have been because she was caught in a trap, but there was only one answer she could give in this situation.
“help.”
“All right. “I do my best.”
Unlike the Xia dynasty of Robert’s Kingdom, which maintained integrity, it is obvious how the country will turn out if greedy ministers take the throne.
Her actions were not only for the royal family, but also for the country.
“May I ask what your plan is?”
“It’s simple. It’s leading to a human-to-human fight that excludes the sky fortress. “Sometimes old-fashioned methods can be effective.”
“yes?”
“First, let’s get the Prius Republic moving. “If I ask you, I will give you a simple threat without any compensation.”
When the story of the Prius Republic came up, she let out an exclamation without realizing it.
I was so preoccupied that I forgot about it for a while, but then I remembered that Adrian had taken a step in the revolution of the Republic of Prius.
In some ways, his crisis could be attributed to the fact that he and the revolutionary army brought down the Fairmont government, but he could not be blamed for that.
She knew very well how rotten a person President Fairmont was.
Rather, it should be said to be a tragedy caused by the royal family’s laziness in failing to quickly rebuild its relationship with the new regime without considering the inevitable revolution that would occur at any time.
“Did you say that the leader of the rebels was the Empress Dowager of the South, the ‘Dal clan’?”
“yes that’s right. If we were to speak of the Empress Dowager in the Continental style of Defteron, we could call him a duke. The name of the water monster is ‘Empress Dowager Dalian.’”
“Let’s start by scaring this guy.”
* * *
There are only three lord titles in Roberto’s Kingdom.
Prince, Grand Empress, Empress Dowager.
A lord is equivalent to a viscount baron, a grand lord is equivalent to a count and marquess, and a queen consort is equivalent to a duke.
There was only one Empress of Roberto’s Kingdom, and that was a person named Dal Lian.
“It seems like the throne was too much for the Xia family.”
“The king was too concerned about the public’s opinions. “It has lowered the authority of the throne so much.”
“A leader must know how to be strong sometimes. How can you lead a country just because you are soft? “The Sia family is nothing more or less than cancer cells that have lowered the status of our Kingdom of Roberto, the loser of the Triton Continent.”
There is a king above the people, and on the throne is the Empress Dowager Moon.
This was a word that was often floating around in the political world of Roberto’s kingdom.
All three Aura Masters and one Archmage in the kingdom are related to him, and in the name of protecting the country, he even committed the atrocity of removing the Auror Master from the position of commander of the royal guard, who was supposed to protect the king, as a general.
Since he had put all his limbs in motion in the first place, it wasn’t that difficult for him to drive out the ‘Xia royal family’ when the opportunity came.
Empress Moon.
God King Ani Dalian showed a satisfied expression as he patted the throne of the royal palace he occupied.
The throne seemed to need remodeling because it was narrow compared to his enormous size, but both the counselors and guards who were talking to him pretended not to notice this.
“majesty!”
But that was then.
A soldier hurriedly ran into the open royal palace.
However, the God King frowned and gave a scolding, as if the nickname was more bothersome than the military’s reaction.
“Uh-huh! I guess you don’t want to be called Your Majesty!? “Do you want to die!?”
“I’m sorry! your majesty! “I have committed a mortal sin!”
He must have rushed there because there was an urgent telegram, but the military had to put his head first and apologize.
The God King clicked his tongue and gave permission to speak.
“So what’s going on?”
“It is said that the Republic of Prius is preparing to dispatch troops.”
“what? Malnose? “Why did you not pay any attention to it all of a sudden?”
“I guess it was Princess Xia’s doing.”
“Haa…”
The God King sighed deeply.
However, even though a war with a major country was being discussed, he seemed surprisingly calm.
“There is no way a war between countries could be caused by faith. “There must be something you wish for.”
After thinking for a moment, the God King spoke to the soldier.
“Would 300 trillion or 500 trillion be enough?”
“yes?”
“That’s the amount they want.”
“Are you talking about the 500 trillion route?”
“Yes, we need to give them that much so that they can stand up for themselves.”
He swallowed dryly at the enormous cost.
It was a cost that would inevitably hinder the administration of government next year.
“Isn’t there a piggy bank lying all over the place where you can get money if you rob it?”
“What if you say it’s a piggy bank?”
“300 million piggy banks.”
“….”
“Let’s propose 500 trillion won. If you still insist on making a move, you can make whatever demands you want.”
“Oh, I understand.”
300 million is the population of Roberto’s Kingdom.
The new king regarded the people as little more than piggy banks.
