Chapter 524 – [Blood Debut Ceremony]

Restaurant Third Royal spread quickly, perhaps because of the publicity effect of the Marquis.

When I sneakily visited it later, there were many aristocrats who were admiring or looking satisfied… Rather, they were making profits so quickly that it was surprising that they were running smoothly.

Truth? Hey, come out boss! If you do, the marquis, who is one of the nobles, or the imperial family, who is the pinnacle of power, will come out, but who will tell the truth?

If you do the truth and go into a tax investigation on your own house, you will be hooked. There is no one who doesn’t come out dust by shaking it off.

“Now I must prepare for my socialite debut.”

“There’s a socialite debut, and when you turn 20, there’s a coming-of-age ceremony. What’s wrong? You could just lower the standard age for the coming-of-age ceremony and debut all at once.”

“Because there are nobles who can’t live until then. For one reason or another.”

“Ah”

If I hadn’t awakened as a reincarnated person, I would have fallen behind, so I wouldn’t have been able to debut in a social world, come-of-age ceremony, or anything else.

After all, it’s dangerous inside the imperial palace. After I settle down and earn some money, I should get a manor and go out to live. If the corner of the house sucks, I’d rather go out and live alone, even if it’s a little tight.

“At what age do socialites usually debut?”

“There is a difference, but at the earliest, they do it when they are 10 years old. And since the imperial family should set an example in the social world, they will debut at that time if there is nothing special to do.”

“Now that I’m 7 years old… No, time has passed, roughly two and a half years? Wouldn’t it be a bit tight?”

“Still, compared to before, wouldn’t it be a great improvement?”

“It’s not like that”

Compared to the time when there was nothing, even establishing a relationship with the 1st princess and getting acquainted with the Marquis Ragnakov is a big improvement. To be honest, if I had lived like this, it would have been hard to see my face.

I glanced at the ledger. The revenue from the Third Royale was steadily accumulating, and even though it was only a few months, it became an amount that could not be ignored. Roughly 3 digits in gold.

Oh, for reference, the currency unit here is divided into Donghwa, Daedonghwa, Silver, Daeeunhwa, Gold, Daegeum, and so on. Anything with a capital letter in front is worth 10 times each unit.

Roughly speaking, the money earned from the restaurant business was about a thousand gold coins. I’ve rarely spent money here myself, so it’s a bit like I’m not sure.

“If you’re making your debut, I recommend a ball hosted by the Imperial Family. It’s a social venue that only takes place twice a year, so most of the nobles gather and you’re worthy of your Highness.”

“Hmm……”

Socialite debuts should also be made in a place of their own accord. Even if I just have a name, I’m a prince, so should I debut by attending a party where aristocrats from the countryside gather? Will not be known

It is right to debut in a social world with many eyes and a size of its own. At least that Maginot Line was a party hosted by Marquis Ragnakov, so all parties below that were cut.

“Let’s leave it for now… I’ll have to look into additional farms. It’s impossible in the capital, right?”

“What size farm do you want?”

“For now, it would be nice to be able to grow cows, grapes, and other things. Hmm… It’s good if it’s as close to the capital as possible because it reduces the cost of transporting food produced there, but if conditions aren’t ideal, it’s okay to be a little farther away.”

“All right”

I’ve raised some money, so I’ll spend it. Of course, some donate a little too.

“Donation… Are you talking about it?”

“Because the money I’ve been eating and living so far doesn’t come for nothing.”

If you were a simple commoner, you would pay your taxes, and if you were a Korean, you would do your duty of national defense… Anyway, that was a natural duty. As Nuri often says, freedom comes with responsibility and duty. If you don’t abide by that, it becomes self-indulgence.

Now I am a prince The money that went into building the Emerald Palace where I live comes from taxes, and even though I am a member of the royal family and poor, I live much more abundantly than commoners, and the budget I receive comes from taxes.

Among the aristocrats, there are typically bastards who only see commoners as tools to collect taxes, but I abolish the class system in a world like this! Democracy at its best! Even if you don’t shout, the bastard won’t let go.

“It’s not like I’m living for free. It’s the law to contribute something to society. The simplest way is to donate.”

“It’s a bit surprising considering His Highness’s usual behavior…”

“I guess that’s the case. Well, I’m going to donate for now, so let’s find out.”

In this place where the concept of philanthropy is rare or rare, only religious groups are at best able to help the common people for free.

Excluding the White Church as a nation, and the Black Church as a demon-based religion, in the end, only the Gray Temple remains.

“If that’s the case, I’ll look into it.”

“No, you’ll have to find out about that from the nanny.”

“Yes?”

There are a few things I learned from my last outing.

First of all, God is a real God in this world. The archbishop he met in the Gray Temple was also a person with the ability to dream, but he did not realize his power of fantasy himself, but he received his power of fantasy from another being.

In other words, it is safe to say that there is at least something equivalent to a transcendental being who knows how to use willpower. If not, it wouldn’t have that influence on the entire continent and would not be sprinkling fantasy power instead of divine power.

And……

“Did you call, Your Highness?”

“Oh, Nanny. I have a question for you.”

“Yes? What…”

“Isn’t the nanny from the Gray Temple?”

And he roughly grasped the energy of the priest who receives imagination from God.

Yes, like the nurse who is like Sergeant Hans but hides a different face. In other words, the nanny must have been a priest from the Gray Temple, or a person of a similar position.

At least I can’t escape my feeling. To get out of my feeling, you must at least be a higher transcendental person than me, but that shouldn’t be more than a load.

“That……”

“I visited the temple of the Gray Temple on my last outing. I looked at the priests there and set a rough standard for distinguishing them.”

At least, to become a nanny of the imperial family, you had to have a back ship equivalent to that.

And the organization behind the nanny is the Gray Temple. The power of imagination flowing through her body proves that she is not her own.

“……Yes, it is, Your Highness”

The nanny, who was silent for a while, finally gave an affirmative answer.

“Then it would be better since you know about the charity work of the Gray Temple or something like that.

“Yes?”

“If you’re going to be my nanny, don’t you have a position within the Church? Or maybe it’s your personal connections.”

“That’s not it, Your Highness… Aren’t you asking for something more?”

“Why me?”

Apart from the fact that the nanny is from a different organization somewhere, it is true that she cares for me and thinks. She had no lies or pretense.

The sermon that she gave when she killed the assassin, meaning ‘Even if you kill, know that it is a sin’, may be a doctrine, or a story, that originated in the Gray Temple. But in the end, that was what I said out of concern.

“If the nanny had the heart to harm me, she would have had a chance. She did, but she didn’t, and she tried her best to raise me, so I think she had a different purpose.”

“………”

“If it’s difficult to talk about it now, I hope you do it later when you’re ready. I’m always on the side of the nanny.”

Even before the reincarnated awakening, the only person I could trust was my nanny. Even after waking up, I trust my nanny the most in the world.

I think there must be a reason why a nanny from the Gray Temple came into the imperial family and became my nanny. And the reason is that it is difficult to say openly.

So give it time. Until one day my nanny can trust me and tell me. Because there is still plenty of time for that.

“…….Yes, thank you. Your Highness”

The nanny only answered quietly, but there was a trembling and watery look in her eyes.

*        *    *

Regarding the purchase of the farm, I entrusted it to Leticia and found the item fairly quickly.

“It is a farm two days by carriage ride from the capital. The land is good, the facilities are good, and cows, goats, pigs, chickens, etc… It is a farm where you can grow various kinds of livestock and crops.”

“No, how can something so perfect be a few days away. Ah…… Aside from the price, are there any flaws?”

“The owner of the item…Is the Crown Prince.”

“Plague”

“Majesty!”

“Ah, okay. I’ll write a nice word.”

I thought we’d meet someday, but I never thought we’d end up like this.

Moreover, according to her sister, the first princess, it was not only the crown prince who needed to be wary of, but also the empress Gravell behind him. No, actually, this is the main character.

If you look down on her as a woman, you’ll get fucked up. No matter how you look at it, it is not normal to hear that only the empress is intact without a queen in the imperial palace where secret fighting is rampant.

At least, the mother of the 1st princess sister is also the daughter of the Marquis of Ragna Coffe……. No matter how much I think about her, I can’t believe that she died a natural death.

“Did you buy it for simple investment? Then the story might be easy.”

“In the end, if it’s a means to make money, you can sell it if the price is right. But in order to make a deal, you’re not from a commoner like me, and Your Highness will have to see it in person.”

“It’s not like that”

If it was a different partner, it might be possible through an agent, but in the end, this time it will be me and the prince’s job.

However, there are many things that each other will rise to the end of the day without seeing each other’s face. Moreover, my stock price is going up a bit these days thanks to the Third Royal Restaurant.

“I can’t help but meet you”

“I’ll make room for you”

Be crowned……

There were no bad reviews from the older sister of the 1st princess. The bad reviews were on his mother’s side, not on him.

When he met the crown prince, the only brother he could not meet was the second prince, but he decided to meet slowly. The evaluation is bad, so I think the personality is the most dirty, but then it’s better to meet later.

Anyway, Leticia sneaked up on her and set a date to meet. She and she made a dinner appointment at the Third Royal and decided to talk over a meal.

“The distribution is rather large. Third Royal is my restaurant, so you would think that poisoning would be possible. Well, it’s not like that.”

“You’re probably preparing for that. But… Do you feel the need to poison yourself?”

“No, poisoning means putting poison in rice. Even if I search, I won’t poison you, so don’t even think about getting poison.”

“All right”

As if she had lived a rough life, Leticia secretly brought up a hideous story. She curls up and barely tucks it in, but I’ll have to be careful not to stray slightly.

I’m as angry as putting poison in my rice, but I’m at the level of doing things related to Zion. If you put poison in it, I’ll tear you limbs myself because it’s framed.

If you compare the skills of an advisor belonging to the imperial family to mine, you know which one is better without saying it, right? The word to kill in 30 minutes comes out of your mouth, and you can torture all day.

“His Highness the Crown Prince has just arrived.”

“You came 10 minutes before the scheduled time. Do you have your own manners?”

Human character is revealed even in the smallest things. It is disrespectful to be late for an appointment because you are proud of being a noble. I don’t know what the idiot is doing when people who seem to be deliberately late for a meeting of representatives from each country are often in the news.

Overpowering? Don’t you think about the image loss that occurs there?

Anyway, there are few bad people who come a little earlier than the appointment time. It’s rare, so it’s not absolute, so be careful.

Soon, a handsome blond man with a burly physique entered the restaurant. The tall and handsome young man, who was so tall and handsome that I wondered if I would be that handsome if only my eyes weren’t dirty, walked straight towards me with a proud and confident expression.

“Oh, are you Worst? Nice to meet you!”

“Uh, um… Nice to meet you, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Don’t be too formal with your brothers and sisters. It’s okay to talk comfortably.”

Meme? What the hell?

It’s hard not to experience the embarrassment and collapse when you find out that a person you couldn’t figure out because you only heard rumors has a surprisingly easy-going personality. So I also hesitated a bit.

“I’ve heard the story often. He does a pretty interesting job.”

“Well, it’s not a big deal.”

“It’s cute despite struggling. And it took quite a bit of effort.”

The prince naturally sat across from me.

I glanced behind me, but there was no escort. Let’s take a closer look. There is only an escort waiting at the door outside the restaurant hall.

Keeping this distance means trusting me or being confident… Personally, I want to put more weight on the latter side.

“First of all, I would like to thank you for accepting the invitation.”

“Well, I had to meet my younger brother at least once, so it’s only natural. Besides, I personally liked you quite a bit. I have three younger brothers, but even with Alconost, Gist isn’t very cute.”

“Well……”

I think the first princess said that too.

The 2nd Prince, how disparate it is, to hear that kind of evaluation from not one but two people. No matter how much I’m cosplaying as royalty, if I’m cute enough… Well, let’s not think about it.

“First, let’s talk slowly while eating.”

“Oh, if it’s a farm story, I’ll just give it to you.”

“Yes?”

“Because I’d rather enjoy a more informative story than dragging myself out with this or that pointless story while pulling a rope at a nice restaurant.”

Suddenly, something glides past his confident eyes.

…….That’s a lion. A male lion too. Usually, a female lion eats prey, sleeps, and plays, but in a fight with other males or territories, such a male lion is treated as the ultimate weapon.

There is something to support it in a dignified and informal appearance.

“Huuuuu…I understand”

The emperor of the sickness.

This is what the family situation is like when you have two children each worthy of the emperor’s seat!!!!
