The mess in the Briton Kingdom’s capital Rhodan didn’t settle overnight.
“Eeei!”
King Richard Ⅱ kicked the chair in anger.
The leg portion of the chair is broken.
“Aaaaaah! That chair was worth 1000 pounds!”
Treasury Secretary Eldred grieves.
“What a sensitive person.”
Richard Ⅱ clicks his tongue.
The room is knocked, and the knight commander G.o.dref entered the room and kneeled.
“You called for me?”
“We must prepare for the worst case. If the city’s guards can’t handle it, let the knights do it.”
“Th,that is……”
G.o.dref is at a loss for words.
“In the case of insurgence, crush it with the knight order.”
“Do you mean to point our blades at the citizens we’re supposed to protect.”
“In that case, will you point them at Scottyard?”
Richard Ⅱ originally thought of doing that in his anger.
However, it’s not easy to take control of a whole country.
“Our Briton army isn’t inferior to the Scottyard army.”
“The Briton army is the strongest on the continent, no, in the world.”
Richard Ⅱ nods to G.o.dref’s words.
“However, Scottyard will choose to have a battle of attrition. Do you understand exactly how much time that’ll take?”
“There’s also the problems of war expenses, and the movements of other countries.”
Eldred cuts into the conversation.
“I know that!”
Richard Ⅱ kicks the broken chair again.
“Ah! The 1000 pound chair!”
“It’s already broken.”
Richard Ⅱ spits that out, and changes the topic.
“At this rate, the country will be paralyzed.”
“The economic activity of the capital has already stopped, and if problem with the transportation of food appears, the hungry ma.s.ses will probably attack shops selling food.”
“Before that happens, we have to do something.”
“Actually on that matter, there’s another problem.”
When Eldred tells him that, Richard Ⅱ knits his eyebrows.
“What is it this time?”
“With this time’s uproar, the amount of debt we have to pay has increased.”
That is not accurate. To be exact, the following will happen:
When borrowing from a foreign country, you typically borrow it in a foreign currency.
Then, you exchange it with your own currency and use it.
When returning debt, the opposite is true.
You exchange your currency with the foreign currency.
The problem is the exchange rate.
“Following this mess, everyone will be reluctant to exchange Briton’s currency into Scottyard’s currency.”
The currency was able to exchanged almost 1 for 1 before, but this is no longer the case.
According to the merchants going in and out, unless the ratio is about 2 for 1, they can’t be exchanged.
Let’s say you have to pay 1000000 Scottyard pounds of debt.
Until the other day, you could exchange that with 1000000 Briton pounds.
However, now you’d need 2000000 Briton pounds.
“Isn’t that the same as doubling our debt!”
“Yeah, that’d be the case.”
“d.a.m.n you Scottyard!”
To Richard Ⅱ, who kicked the chair for a third time, Eldred couldn’t say anything.
“What should we do, what should we do?”
“No matter how we struggle, we can’t prepare 2000000 pounds.”
“In that case……”
Richard Ⅱ had a grim face.
“By the way, I saw Yufilia-denka this morning, and she had a face as if she’d resolved herself for something.”
G.o.dref reports.
“It was a face like she was going to a battlefield……”
“Yufilia-denka is brilliant. She may have understood the current situation, and prepared herself to accept the engagement.”
Eldred speaks while smiling.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Why do you look so happy?”
Richard Ⅱ glares at Eldred.
“No, no, that’s absurd. It’s just, accepting the engagement will solve all our problems.”
“That means Briton’s complete defeat!”
“I find it unlikely that Scottyard will fall behind in us in things like money and the economy.”
Richard Ⅱ anguishes for a while.
Then, he answered with a sigh.
“I’ll talk to her about tonight. Although I said to leave it to me, a few days later and things have already become like this. I can’t face her.”
Richard Ⅱ was irritated due to Eldred nodding satisfactorily, and completely broke the chair.
“Fufufufufu. It’s fun to see the country confused like this.”
Vincent was in high spirits.
He had returned to his mansion in the royal capital Rhodan.
“Your Highness. This city is dangerous, why did you come back?”
The mansion’s butler asks.
“After all, I wanted to see it with my own eyes. I take any risks, I brought the best guard.”
To the side of Vincent’s line of sight was one black knight.
You couldn’t see his face, because it was covered with a full face net.
“The hero Edgar-dono, is it? I appreciate your efforts.”
Edgar stood upright without saying anything.
He is one of the heroes that Scottyard is proud of.
He is also the possessor of G.o.d Spear Gungnir.
“But how were you able to bring Edgar-dono with you?”
“I got my hands on a really nice item. I told him I’d give it to him, so come with me.”
On Edgar’s chest was an aquamarine pendant.
“It was pretty expensive, but it’s a magic item with never before seen performance.”
He’d gotten his hands on a good number of them, so he was able to hand them out freely.
“Take a look at that crowd. That’ll change into a riot pretty soon. When that happens, Briton will crush them with the knight order.”
Vincent’s mansion was located on top of a hill, and from there he could look down at the city.
“The army Briton was so proud of is now threatening its own citizens. Ahahaha! Ahahaha!”
Vincent laughed too hard that it became hard to breathe.
“Even so, reached this stage really quickly. I could’ve been able to watch over this for 1 or 2 weeks.”
“His Majesty would say that if you consider that much, there’s no way the opponent will be able to do anything. In that case, if you should do it quickly, so as not to give the opponent any time to counterattack.”
The butler responds respectfully.
“My father is also cautious. Well, I guess for me it’s too early.”
Vincent nods by himself, and again looks over the town.
“I wonder when Briton will show their true nature. They probably don’t have any more cards to play. The longer it takes, the more damage there will be. It’d be better if they hurry up and raise the white flag.”
Vincent turns around, but all of his servants are silent.
“If that happens, Yufilia will call this residence. Premarital s.e.x is common nowadays. Ah, I can’t wait anymore!”
Vincent who was convinced of his victory was ecstatic.
The butler, who was puzzled by his abnormal att.i.tude said ‘Wha, yeah…’ and gave an ambiguous reply.
