[ Episode 190. Gathering of fate]
Unwelcome guests have arrived at the Apple Tree Mansion.
Amy, who was responding to him, did her best to see her off until the very end, trying not to reveal her feelings as much as possible.
“Then I understand. Miss Amy.”
“yes. I will send it on time.”
Soon after the guests left, Maria approached Amy.
“You worked hard, sir.”
“Ugh. still creepy Did you just see the look in Mane’s eyes? It feels like bugs are crawling.”
“I made tea. Have a drink and relax.”
As expected, a recruiting officer arrived at Count Cromwell’s house to pay for the war.
Since most of the money she could afford and the goods she had received from the Duke of Morheim had already been prepared, it seemed that she would be able to solve it safely in time, but Amy felt sick to her stomach.
“Here’s the tea.”
“thanks sister.”
Soon after, the car that Maria brought out was a rare elf car that was said to be unavailable on the continent.
This car, called Rastilia after the elven city, was sent by Adrias some time ago.
“It’s a bit of a waste…”
“Even if I drink three meals a day, they send me enough to drink for three years. And don’t be too pressured to say you can get it again.”
“For that matter, I only prepared my own teacup, right? What about Maria?”
“I am okay.”
“no. If you don’t drink, I don’t drink either.”
Maria nodded as she watched Amy, who was frolicking like a child, with a slightly troubled smile.
Amy, who usually plays the role of the owner of the guild with a straight personality, but Maria was affectionate because of these appearances that appear occasionally.
“All right. Let’s eat together.”
smart!
“The timing is amazing. Who are you?”
“grow.”
“Come on in!”
As soon as Amy heard Salem’s voice, the door opened and a tired-looking Salem appeared.
“Good morning.”
“It’s already afternoon, Mr. Hagendahl.”
“okay? More than that, give me a cup of tea too.”
Salem brazenly entered and sat down on the couch, scratching his caked-on head and sniffing.
“Are these elven tea leaves?”
“yes that’s right.”
“No, you said you were drinking something so good just the two of you?”
“Hi-Hi.”
To Amy, who smiled shyly, Salem didn’t say anything more and drank the tea from Maria.
“Huh. Tiredness goes away.”
“My brother sent it.”
“Adrias? Oh, that’s how it happened.”
“What do you know?”
“huh? Ah, the other day you told me that you were going to Daesoorim for a while. It looks like you got it from there.”
“Does that make sense?”
Maria asked in a questioning voice.
According to her common sense, it was possible to visit the Great Forest, but collecting Rastilia tea leaves was a separate issue.
Of course, the story of finding this car in the great forest was no different from the story of meeting an elf in person rather than accidentally obtaining a car from someone else.
“He was an odd guy from the start. I’m not surprised with something like this.”
Salem sniffed and drank the tea again.
“The reason I am here is half of Adrias.”
Amy and Maria did not know Hagendahl’s real identity, but they knew that he was not an ordinary person because Adrias had requested them in advance, so they were able to accept his arrogant words straight away.
smart!
After a moment of silence, someone knocked again in the office.
“There are many guests today. Who are you?”
“This is John. There are guests at the mansion, but it seems like they’re the people the boss needs to meet in person…” When
Maria opened the door, John, an employee at the top, and three other people were lined up.
And Salem, who saw them, vomited admiration.
“What is this again?”
Despite Salem’s reaction, the three remained silent.
The two looked like an ordinary married couple, and one was a slender man wearing a hood.
“Did you hear it without recognizing who it was?”
“yes? Oh that’s…”
“I’m sorry. I came in naturally using seduction magic.”
The plain-looking woman smiled softly and apologized.
And the person wearing the hood also lowered his head, flipping back the hood that covered his face.
“My name is Aimir Karirigin je Palalem, the 15th generation of Palalem, the daughter of Karirigin. I am from Rastilia, located in the Great Grove.”
“Elf?!”
Surprised Amy shouted involuntarily and then covered her mouth.
Elves did not come out of the realm very often, and those who came out to the human world were very rare.
There are quite a few mixed races born between enslaved elves, but it was very rare for pure elves to wander around.
“Elf. It’s strange, but I’m more curious about you guys.”
Salem stood up, looking at the couple.
It hurt Salem’s pride that he hadn’t noticed them until they came to the door.
Above all, he promised Adrias to protect Amy.
As the magical energy circulated, Salem’s tattoo began to have power.
“You’d better stop if you don’t want to get in trouble.”
One of the couple, who seemed to be the husband, spoke in a desolate voice.
And Salem, who sensed something in that tone, quietly muttered a question.
“Maksimin?”
“…….”
The man did not answer, but rather the woman answered.
“Oh, there’s someone you know.”
“You must be Isabelle. I will turn this around.”
Maximin and Isabelle.
I don’t know if it was one, but it was a must-lose against two, so Salem’s spine was cold for the first time in a long time.
Amir waved his hand toward Salem.
“We are not here to fight. Since I have to hide, I apologize for inevitably visiting in a bad way.”
Aimir, who saw through Salem’s heart, bowed his head and apologized.
Amy and Maria, who were just staring blankly at this series of events, were still dumbfounded.
“If it’s a max citizen…the maxim citizen I know?”
“that’s right. You are Adrias-sama’s younger brother. Nice to meet you. My name is Isabelle.”
“This is Amy Cromwell.”
Those who casually exchanged greetings stood in a confrontation for a while, then broke up with Amy’s guidance.
“Are you a guest? Please take a seat.”
“thank you.”
“thank you.”
Isabelle and Amir moved to their seats one by one, and Maximin stood behind them with arms crossed. Then he stared at Salem, who was across from him, and spat out.
“Someone said it and it was you.”
“I heard the story, but it is really interesting. Did Adrias really fix it?”
“I can’t see it.”
A childish war of nerves between grown men broke out in a cold sweat while watching from the sidelines.
The opponent was Maximin Cronell.
People who were born and raised in the empire were all ignorant of his notoriety, so I began to question the identity of Salem, who treated Maximin so badly.
“First, tell Amir about your business.”
“thank you.”
Isabelle spoke to Aimir with a kind smile, and the young elf said with a slightly stiff expression.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but I’m in charge of discussing matters related to this trade. i look forward to.”
“……Trade?”
“Have you heard anything from Adrias?”
“Not at all…Ah!”
Amy recalled Adrias’s letter from the other side of her memory.
I sent Rastilia tea leaves and said that a surprise gift would arrive soon so take it well, but at the time I just dismissed it as a joke
…
It wasn’t just a surprise gift, but this was a serious matter that couldn’t be decided carelessly.
Trade with the Rastilia elves.
It is a job that no top ranks want and even set as the goal of their dreams.
Amy naturally thought of her brother and wondered what the hell she was doing to do such an unbelievable thing so lightly.
And Maria, who was on the throne beside her, had such feelings in her mind.
“Do you have anything in mind?”
“I sent the word that I prepared a surprise gift along with Rastilia tea leaves, but I didn’t know it was such an important thing. Thanks to you, I’m doing the right thing.”
“no. it’s okay.”
Amir said that and looked back at Maximin and Isabelle.
“The details of the actual trade agreement will take quite a while, so I think it would be better to talk about it first.”
“yes.”
Isabelle smiled and took over the baton.
Amy and Maria just stared at her, swallowing dry saliva.
You mean you have personal business, unlike the ones you accompanied?
I wondered what the hell Maximin and Isabelle were trying to say.
“We decided to entrust it to Adrias-sama.”
“……yes?”
What else are you talking about?
Amy couldn’t calm her confused mind.
So, is it the story that Maximin Cronell and a woman who seems to be his lover are coming under the command of Count Cromwell?
There was no way the accident could follow.
A second shock came to his mentality, which had already been cracked by the shock of trading with the elves.
“The conversation with Adrias has already ended. How are you doing in the future?”
“No, that’s…”
Maria, who was next to her, helped as the embarrassed Amy couldn’t keep up with the conversation.
“Excuse me, but can I add a word?”
“yes. Please speak.”
“I wonder why Sir Cromwell accepted the two of you.”
“We know what you worry about. But as you can see, he won’t reveal his identity. I just needed a place to live, and I’m here to pay back the favor to Adrias, but I don’t want to trouble you guys.”
After thinking about Isabelle’s words for a moment, Amy couldn’t help but nod her head.
Maximin Cronell is clearly a double-edged sword.
As long as his identity wasn’t revealed, his force could have been quite helpful.
Conversely, the moment their identity is revealed, the Count Cromwell family may perish as it is.
‘But I can’t say anything if my brother has already given permission.’
The owner of the Cromwell family was definitely Adrias.
First of all, I decided to ask Adrias about the details of this incident and told Isabel.
“I understand for now. Let me show you where to stay.”
“I have something to discuss with Aimir, so I would appreciate it if you could send me a servant.”
“All right.”
smart!
Just then, there was a knock on the door and a voice came from outside.
“president. This is John.”
“Yes John! Come on in. It’s just fine. Please guide these people to the VIP room.”
“Has confirmed. But boss, there were new customers before that……”
“Are there any more guests?”
From Viscount Manet, who came to collect the war tax, to the elf who came to conclude trade, and Maximin, who is called a disaster, all of them were distracted. What other guests?
“Who are you?”
“It is said that he is a close friend of His Excellency Cromwell. They say they brought what they ordered, what should I do?”
“First, take them to the drawing room. I need to guide the other guests first.”
At that time, Maximin, who had been quietly listening, opened his mouth.
“It’s not bad to call here if it’s okay. someone you know.”
“yes?”
Maximin, who noticed without even looking, was also surprised, but it was also surprising that a person whom Maximin knew came as Adrias’ close friend.
I didn’t want to be surprised anymore, but Amy was mentally and physically weak all day because of her brother.
“Hmm? Inspiration came directly.”
When Salem noticed who was coming and muttered, Amy sighed and said to John.
“Can you call me over here?”
“Okay, boss.”
Who else will it be this time?
What I didn’t understand was how busy Adrias, who was busy attending the academy and studying, had made such connections and things before he knew it.
Soon, John brought two people with him.
One was an ordinary-looking old man, and the other was a girl with a vague impression.
“haha. This is amazing.”
“I agree.”
“Adrias would understand. There’s nothing but fun to do with that guy.”
The identities of those who appeared were Morn and Luna, who brought undead equipment from the magic field.
