Chapter 525 – [Blood Debut Ceremony]

Humans usually give up if there is an overwhelming difference. Among them, there are people who try hard and fail, but there are people who succeed intermittently.

But in any case, frustration in front of the gap is a common issue.

The same is true of the emperor’s seat. Only beings who are sufficiently gifted and strong enough to require those qualities can rise to that position.

However, if the prince or first princess I’ve met has some kind of quality, it’s a matter of fighting. Besides, the 1st princess sister’s side has slightly less power than the crown prince, but it’s because they’re almost on par.

“This is my second time coming here.”

“Second? Uh…I haven’t heard of him coming before.”

“I came secretly. I heard that there is a restaurant that is gaining popularity these days. Oh, I went back satisfied enough, so don’t worry.”

He is the crown prince who embarrasses me in various ways.

Personality is good. He doesn’t have a bad nature… He’s not just kind, but he seems to have some determination.

However, the problem is that the determination is too bold. Just like right now, talking with an escort.

“What are you going to do if I harm you?”

“Do you think so?”

“No, not at all”

“That’s it”

Oh, this kid is so exciting.

“And I also did my own research. My sister and I were doing something together, so I looked in various directions.

“Yes, what”

“From what I can see, you’re an honest person. At least you’re not someone who sharpens a knife from behind. After seeing you in person, I was convinced.”

It is an accurate judgment. I don’t prefer assassination, even if I kill in front. I can’t say I won’t do it, but at least I never do it in the direction of poisoning.

His ability to see people may not be as good as mine, but he seems to have it. Hmmm…… It feels a bit strange to see through others while actually seeing through myself.

“I’ll handle the transfer of ownership of the farm and hand it over to you. But what are you planning to do with that farm?”

“I’m thinking of researching food ingredients. I can grow grapes, so I’ll try making wine.”

Haha! You’re thinking of going this way, right?”

“It’s because the container isn’t big enough to fit into a seat with three people.”

What I’m talking about is the battle for the throne. It was a declaration that I would not intervene in a situation where the crown prince, first princess, and second prince were already present.

What is the battle for the throne in the yard where I can’t properly form a military group because I’m afraid I’ll be on guard?

“Well, that’s good. I know from that child that he’s not interested in the position of emperor.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Do you call me sister? I’m jealous of you! I call Geist by his first name even after he dies.”

“If you want, I’ll call you brother from now on.”

Haha, that’s good! Today is a happy day! Waiter! Wine!”

Fun and exciting But he has the ability and has a good personality.

If he becomes emperor, he will probably make his subordinates suffer, but he seems to be a sage. I have moderate determination, so I don’t think there will be anything to ruin work with indecisive judgment.

Write, I’m worried about who will support me if I do this. It was because they were too close to each other to shamelessly separate from the first princess and support the crown prince.

“You seem to be quite worried. Well, if you don’t want the title of emperor, you have to walk the rope well. It’s understandable that you’re worried.”

“It doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor, as long as we personally take care of ourselves.”

“It’s your choice to judge that. It’s up to us to create the basis for that judgment.”

“Hmm……”

When the waiter brought wine and poured it into the glass, the prince savored the aroma and color and took a sip to quench his thirst.

“I think you’re going to be a pretty big person. There seems to be something before qualities.”

“Well, I can’t say that I have nothing to hide.”

“It would be enough if you take your time and gradually learn what kind of hand you have. Well, let’s enjoy a meal today!”

After that, as the meal began in earnest, the conversations were small talk. It was a story that had little to do with politics, such as how delicious the food was or how he came up with the idea of ​​starting a business like this.

A pure person Although the ability is supported under it, I felt that it would be a worthwhile country to see if I became an emperor.

“Come to think of it, you haven’t made your socialite debut yet, have you? When are you planning on doing it?”

“I think it’s roughly around my 10th birthday.”

“Hmm, it’s not bad. I did it at the time too. In fact, if you debut late for no particular reason, it’s annoying because it’s just gossip. Of course, it’s not that the aristocrats’ offensive after that isn’t annoying.”

“Are there any nobles who would cling to something like me?”

“Even though it’s only been a few months, there are no nobles in the capital who don’t know about this restaurant. In a year from now, it will be considered one of the most popular social gathering places. Then, your name will rise along with it, and there will be people approaching you.”

“Hmm……”

“And there must be nobles who covet the chef here.

“Well, if our chefs are skilled, it’s worth it.”

Haha! You take pride in that! I know what kind of person you are!”

Professions are welcome everywhere. And talented chefs are quite popular because they can be used in many ways.

As long as food, clothing and shelter are not missing in human culture, making food delicious is a merit beyond imagination. If you do well, you can also use it for politics.

“Afterwards, we will send some trained chefs. After a year or so, there will be some chefs who have built up their skills.”

“That’s good. If you can feel this taste in the palace, it will be much easier to work.”

I have no intention of ending the restaurant business here. The chefs who received training at the Emerald Palace and at the restaurant would later be sent to other nobles or members of the royal family if they had adequately developed their skills. At least to raise my status and develop my food culture.

“And with this scale of business… His Majesty will take notice.”

“…….”

“Don’t you have any good feelings? I know everything.”

“Your brother doesn’t even call him his father.”

“Well, that’s right”

The talkativeness of the prince, who had been chatty and pleasant, had drastically decreased.

The emperor is also a heavy subject for the imperial family. No, on the contrary, as a member of the royal family, it was bound to be heavier.

“I will not become an emperor like Your Majesty.

“What happened to His Majesty?”

“You don’t know yet?”

“Yes, it’s still hard to take liberal arts and etiquette lessons.”

“Ah, it’s worth it. You’re still seven years old…”

The prince took a sip of the wine. It wasn’t because I was thirsty, it was more like rinsing my bitter mouth.

It’s honestly true. Because he hadn’t learned the history of modern empires yet. Usually, you learn by starting with what the first emperor did.

“Originally, His Majesty had five brothers.”

“What…”

It seems that it is this side that is cheap without thinking. Who gave birth to five children?

Of course, if a simple commoner gave birth like that, they wouldn’t say anything under the circumstances. However, as there is a saying that power is not shared even between parents and children, problems increase when there are many people to share.

“And at present, Your Majesty has no brothers. You know what I mean roughly?”

“…I’m struggling like this to avoid that.”

For those in power, flesh and blood is an obstacle, or a chess piece.

It plays the role of killing a man and marrying a woman to establish a blood relationship with the other person. It’s cruel, but it’s true and it’s reality.

However, not having any siblings means that they have all been killed. All of them, even women who could be related by blood.

“I don’t want to be that kind of emperor. So even if I become emperor, what you think won’t happen.”

“Where are you going to send your son-in-law? If you want to like me outside of power or something like that, you have to have a very special taste…”

If Zion heard it, I would refute what it was like, but let’s put it aside for now.

“Well, wouldn’t it be quite a noble lady when you grow up? If you have a good personality, run a business like this, and can form a blood relationship with the royal family, you’re a good groom. Even if you’re a son-in-law, it’s only a matter of time before marriage talks come out.”

“That’s what I like…”

“Hmm, you’re still young, did you go stealth too? How come you talk like a commoner?”

Anyway, the story with the prince was quite enjoyable. To the point where he was seriously contemplating which of the two, the 1st princess sister and the crown prince, would be crowned emperor.

After that, after finishing the meal and eating dessert, it was time to part ways.

“Oh, and one thing”

“Yes, bro”

He wore a grim expression that he had never shown before when he spoke. And there was also a sense of apology, so I felt like there was something I didn’t know.

“…….If the story of meeting me spreads, my mother will probably want to meet you.”

“Are you talking about the empress?”

“Yeah, and… I don’t really like her even though she’s my mother. She wants to tell me what she’s trying to do and I’m sorry what she did”

The higher up you are, the more difficult it is to bow your head. But when the crown prince apologizes to her, it must mean that she has something with Empress Greybell.

I honestly don’t want to meet you. But I will have to meet you.

“Be patient with her for now. In the end, she will pay for her sins.”

The prince said that with her hard face.

*        *    *

The prince’s words were frightening, and a few days later an invitation to a tea party came from the empress.

It was not an official position because I hadn’t even made my full-fledged socialite debut yet, but I was rather reluctant because it was a personal position.

“Nanny, what about the rumors about Empress Grabell?”

“As for Her Highness the Empress, she is… She is kind and delicate, and she is said to be worthy of being the mother of the Empire.”

“Looks like you made the press play.”

I’d rather believe that I’m making soybean paste out of poop. A woman who ate a roll in the imperial palace would be evaluated as being kind?

Of course you can. There was no law in the world that a truly benevolent woman would not become an empress.

But she said that all the other empresses were dead except for herself, and that her child, the crown prince, had a bad reputation, and that humans who were even hostile to her were clean? Puck!

One conclusion. It’s using people to play the media. And that means having that kind of power or intelligence organization.

“Hmm……”

My senses haven’t responded yet, but it’s possible that Empress Grabell was the one who tried to kill me.

For reference, the current suspects are the emperor, empress, and second prince. At least neither the crown prince nor the first princess sent assassins to me.

There is no denying the possibility that someone below them sent them, but at least two of them are innocent. There were exceptions like Dr. Alien in my previous life, but my ability to see the view is almost accurate.

“I’ll meet you, so if you have a suitable gift, please list it and recommend it. Oh, I have a lot of budget, so I have a lot to choose from, right?”

“Yes, thank you, Your Highness”

“You have to straighten your housekeeping to straighten your face. It’s okay.”

The Emerald Palace, which was poor for a royal family, was also alive. The money earned from the restaurant business was beyond imagination.

In addition, I got a farm for free this time, so my budget was solid, and I’m quite happy thinking about selling the products I will produce there.

Especially when it comes to farms, cows, and dairy cows at that. I’ve felt it before, but the milk here is thick. Thickness means, after all, a high fat content, which means that dairy products are easy to make.

Let’s make a Turkish kaimak that even Mr. Baek can’t make because it’s not good value for money! There are nobles who will pay for it if it tastes good, because they are all over the place!

“Since there is no girl who doesn’t like sweets… Shall we bring macarons to the tea party?”

“You mean something like that Amaretti?”

“Yeah, yeah, that. Maybe kitchen cooks will be successful by now, right?”

There is something similar to macaron here, but it is an ancient primitive macaron. Something like brown cracked cookies.

The colorful macarons usually sold in the market were created by the spread of what was sold at Laduree, a dessert shop.

No, there is no color here in the first place. If it’s a macaron without color, wouldn’t it just look like a biscuit? Anyway, I’m going to pack a few.

“Honestly, macaron is king”

It’s too sweet, so I don’t eat a few, but the color is pretty, so I bought it. For reference, all that’s left is Zion!

…….I suddenly think of Xion.

In this life, I can only lay the foundation until she comes.
