#665. Rest assured.

“Recently, a huge amount of material is moving in the World Federation.”

[The flow of funds is also suspicious. It seems that they are investing at least as much budget as when they were in the peacekeeping force or potion business.]

Each of the seven clans.

From domain to business field.

It was not easy to connect as everything was separate.

It was for this reason that the princesses decided on agreements at the Chilryong Branch.

However, it is not possible to open the Seven Dragons branch whenever trivial information is shared or when there is a simple matter.

Especially since the establishment of the World Federation, it was all the more so as more and more minor exchanges were needed to keep them in check.

So it was.

A person who has the authority to replace the princess.

In other words, the reason why the aides had separate seats.

At first, whenever each of them needed it, they only lightly communicated with each other’s aides.

But as much as the contact is frequent.

I’m looking for efficiency.

The result is this exchange meeting.

It was a place for aides to gather separately to share information and exchange opinions.

If I had to compare it, it was similar to pre-negotiations between diplomats on behalf of the head of state.

“If the World Federation is plotting something new, we need to prepare a response as well.”

[Tata thinks so too.]

“In that sense, I would like to know the current situation of each clan in more detail…”

[Hmm, our situation is still a bit complicated. I don’t think I’ll be able to afford it for a while until the African Union settles down.]

Actually, the effect was good.

The aide is the highest practitioner of each clan.

Just by sharing information among themselves, the busy princesses were able to make some time.

[If you can afford it, you are the genius of the Red Dragon clan.]

…Of course, there was no guarantee that all the information coming and going here was the truth.

[What do you mean by that? Mr. Ellis.]

[It means that even if the military doesn’t have enough energy, there will be enough room to provide food and energy 10% cheaper than now.] [

Apopis’ situation isn’t that generous either…]

[ That’s strange. According to my calculations, the production volume should have increased with the peace special?]

[Maybe I miscalculated?] Pointing out that

providing food and energy to other clans at a cheaper price would give them more power and make it easier to respond to the World Federation. Alice.

Nadia protests that she cannot afford to do so since the damage she has already suffered from the peacekeepers has not been restored.

[Can’t we increase the production of nectar more than that? Calculatedly, even if the supply is increased by only 200%, the power of the World Federation can be reduced by 13%.]

[Don’t joke. Do you think making nectar is easy?]

[Rather than that, is Bahamut going to keep rising prices forever? The aftermath of the revolution must have already been over.]

Kana asks for nectar.

Arbella firmly refuses.

Conversely, Barbara et al.

Lucas put on a distraught expression as he listened to the conversation of his close aides, whose sincerity was hard to understand because either way had a point.

In this exchange, the interests of each clan are intertwined. It

was more like

diplomacy… no, spying, rather than exchange, in that they could lie as much as they wanted for their own clan .

Even among the blue dragon clan, he could not be comfortable in a position like this.

But this is also a side job.

for the beloved princess.

Distinguish authenticity of information.

making demands to benefit.

He continued to communicate.

And the more we talked like that, the more the topic went in one direction.

“Are you still investigating the legacy of the Dark Dawn, Swordsman?”

[The counter-revolutionary army is more than 90% likely to be the culprit, but we haven’t caught their tail yet.]

[That’s a pity…]

Swordsmith Limon Asfelder.

Originally a nemesis of the Seven Dragons.

But now, in the opposite sense, Lucas sighed as he remembered the man who had become a key figure in the Seven Dragons.

After Limon went to investigate earlier.

How much did Rose miss you?

For him who remembered that scene, it was just a pity that Limon was tied up with other things.

And that wasn’t enough.

[The swordsmith’s help has not yet yielded results, so it seems that Okrana and the KGB’s prestige is not what it used to be.] […Are you saying that the

failure to find the legacy of the Dark Dawn is 100% due to our clan’s incompetence?]

[ Not up to 100%. It’s just that if the place where the heritage was located was in North America, our princess would have found it a long time ago

.

When Kana’s eyes widened sharply at Elise’s arrogant words.

Nadia muttered too.

[Umm, I don’t know why Princess White Dragon is with the swordsmith if it’s taking this long…] […

From Tata’s ears, it seems that our princess is deliberately delaying the investigation.] [

Ah! It doesn’t mean that. I just wondered if my princess could have finished the investigation sooner if she had gone with the swordsman.] [

Normally, we don’t call it an investigation to burn random suspects.]

[Why? It doesn’t matter if you’re a criminal anyway, right?]

It’s Jung-gu Heating.

A lot of opinions come and go.

Lucas felt a headache amidst the accusations, mainly from Yekathrice and Ainsha, who are now with Limon.

I can understand.

These people in this position are close friends.

Are you only acting for the princess?

It was also natural for each princess to keep the other princesses in check.

“Fix all of you.”

So, with a more serious face.

Lucas said to his entourage gathered here.

“We understand your loyalty, but our job is not to unconditionally support the princess.”

An aide is not a behemoth that follows the princess unconditionally.

Rather the opposite, to put it bluntly.

If the princess goes berserk or makes a wrong decision due to the incomplete dragon blood.

Their role as a brake to stop such a princess, even at the risk of their own lives, was their most important duty and right.

That’s why the entourage was given enormous authority that surpassed even the elders.

And it was the same in this situation where the princesses were fighting over Limon.

“Indiscriminate fighting only leads to co-destruction in the end. Do not forget that now we must do our best to cooperate with each other.”

In the first place, it was impossible for any clan to give up Limon even for the sake of the eighth dragon psionic.

However, expecting princesses who have inherited the dragon’s monopoly desire to yield Limon to other princesses is excessive.

So what matters is their work.

Whether you appease the princess you serve.

Persuade with words and logic.

whether to rebel

Somehow to prevent the princess’ quarrel over Limon from turning into a war.

They say that it is for the princess and their purpose to make it possible for them to maintain an amicable relationship with each other.

Seeing Lucas talking seriously, Elise nodded.

[I think so too.]

“Thank you for agreeing.”

[No thank you. I just said the right thing was right.]

Watching Lucas put on a more comfortable expression at that statement.

Ellis smiled.

[So don’t worry.]

[…?]

[If you’re my princess, even if you monopolize the swordsmith’s heart, you’ll be generous to others.]

Quick.

In the end, it will be Charlotte who becomes Limon’s bride.

Even if that happens, it would be better to prepare in advance so that other princesses will not be blinded by jealousy and commit rash acts.

Looking at Alice, who speaks calmly.

Arbella had a band of blood on her forehead.

[President of the United States of America. You seem to have forgotten, but it is our princess who has been recognized as the swordsman’s bride now.] [It’s

common to wander until you find true love.]

[Does that mean our princess is a toy for the swordsman’s night?]

[In the end, it is the instinct of all creatures to find the most perfect mate.]

[Uh hmm. I think people who are a little clumsy are cuter….]

[Many men feel uncomfortable with women who are too perfect statistically.]

“….”

Truly a mess.

He said that his own princess would be a good match for a swordsman.

Listening to the conversation of his close associates who were convinced, Lucas put on a mysterious expression.

‘why?’

Ellis is versatile enough to be called “all-round” and is also good at politics.

I couldn’t figure out why she deliberately set fire to the atmosphere that was just about to subside.

Well, the reason was that it was good.

Just looking at this situation, you can tell that it was impossible to put a brake on the princesses’ fights by cooperating with their aides.

So he prayed with a sigh.

I hope the princesses will protect the opposite sex.

What if the princesses, blinded by jealousy after being swayed by the lust for monopoly, end up quarreling?

The Seven Dragons will shatter and self-destruct before fighting the World Federation.

“…Brother. I have a question for you.”

“I’m curious about something.”

“We were working separately until yesterday, right? That way, it will be easier to contact them from there.”

“That’s right.”

The work of the conveyor belt started to become boring because I was not used to it.

Rin asked in a low voice to the expressionless white-haired girl sitting next to him.

“Then why did the arrangement suddenly change?”

“Maybe it’s a coincidence.”

“I guess so.”

Lin sighed.

The only thing disguised as expressionless is the face.

In fact, it was because I could tell just by looking at those eyes full of mischievous mischief.

“Do you want to tease your brother that much?”

“Can’t you help it? It was because he volunteered to investigate.”

“He must not have known that you would cling to me so quickly as soon as he left.”

“Don’t be so heartless, because this is all for him.”

“Cover your twitching lips and say those words.”

Whether or not Rin clicked his tongue as he looked at her easy-going figure, intending to show her flirting with a short prison guard.

Elshar pretended to be blunt and spoke happily.

“Anyway, aren’t you looking forward to it, sister?”

“what?”

“I mean the investigation. What will the child bring?”

“…I’m asking for confirmation. What do you mean by that expectation?”

“Of course, both.”

If I bring about plausible results, I will be glad to see my younger brother elated.

If you don’t get any results, you can comfort your sullen little brother.

What could be more enjoyable than this?

I was shaking my head excitedly watching Elshar talking softly.

Lynn hesitated.

“…Elshar.”

“Yeah I know.”

With the same strange face.

Elshar slowly reached out his hand.

Then, I picked up an object among the parts that were being carried on the conveyor belt.

“Unnie, what does this look like?”

Wrongly made parts.

Looking at the small slip of paper folded several times secretly stuck inside.

Lynn muttered quietly.

“Did you finally take the bait?”
