episode 336 the last banquet
as the war between the two kingdoms came to an end, ray visited the harpman merchant corps located in shigea.
harpman’s stomach was protruding even more as he did not see that the war had made a lot of money.
he looks at ray and smiles broadly.
“thanks to danju, i am enjoying life these days.”
indeed, he was like a money-mad pig.
he looked at the harp and clicked his tongue.
“tsk tsk halfman. as i always say, live with some formality. my stomach protruded like that in a few days, so my wife will run away in a little while.”
“ha ha ha ha ha. he is good at jokes.”
when i said it because i was really worried, it was understood as a joke.
when he suggested a seat, ray found a chair and sat down.
“this war ended without damage, but it will be even more difficult in the future. do you have enough half-man funds?”
then, harpman pounded his chest with both fists, where only a piece of flesh could be grasped.
seeing the bobbing breasts, ray freaks out and speaks with confidence.
“do not worry. even if the people who work for the upper half of the upper class, protected by dan lord, die, my money will not die.”
what the hell do i think of my subordinates?
you must think of it as money-making slavery or disposable waste.
feelings that i do not want to mix with words pushed my head, but it is meaningless if the funding line is cut off.
i couldn’t bear to throw out halfman because he was a loyal subordinate if he didn’t open his mouth.
ray nodded his head because it was a situation where capitalism was long live.
“that is very fortunate. halfman, let’s spend your money now.”
hafman’s expression changed at once when he said that he would spend money instead of earning it.
if the expression before was like that of a madman, now it is like a general with 10,000 troops in front of his eyes.
looking at the sincerity in his eyes, it was to the point where he thought he was a different person.
“what is it for?”
if you don’t like the reason, you’re ready to kick it out.
ray set a piece of parchment down on the table.
some of the future plans are written on it.
harpman, who had been looking through the parchment for a while, opened his mouth.
“...are you serious?”
in harfman’s eyes, even ray, who had been deified within himself, seemed insane.
ray silently affirms.
“if you don’t do this, you will end up in mud. there is no other way.”
“no matter how tight the time is, this is... too reckless.”
“it’s like a gambler for me. that’s why we need a lot of money.”
anyway, hafman is overflowing with money.
however, the current plan was a range that could not be solved with money.
i don’t know what the heck he was thinking to make this happen, but at least halfman was against it.
he went against ray’s will for the first time.
“please think again.”
“i have no intention of returning. halfman, follow me once more.”
at those words, halfman looked straight into ray’s eyes.
there wasn’t even a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
instead of anxiety or impatience, there was only desire enough to overcome even halfman, who had fallen for the taste of money.
when you meet these eyes, you can’t refuse.
the confident eyes he showed seven years ago in seongguk.
harpman, who had already seen the result of it once, could not go against his words again.
he made up his mind and bent his back.
“...all right. i will do my best at the top of the half-man. do what the lord wants. i will follow him.”
although he is usually similar to the uncle next door, harpman, who is ready to fight like now, shows his mighty ability.
ray looked at him and smiled happily.
money here and money there.
it was a sight that half would have salivated if he had seen it.
ray, who smiled at the thought of him, organizes his luggage.
after the end of the war, many things were packed in the bag he had brought.
from the hammer and iron plate received from derp to iron pots and books.
i couldn’t leave them all behind, so i had no choice but to carry them while struggling.
inside, there was one piece of clothing that i liked, and i plan to use it to cope with the banquet.
“it’s been a while since i’ve worn this.”
clothing received as a gift while in the lessian empire.
it’s actually nice to see clothes worn after a long time.
after changing into his clothes, he laid down on the bed, and soon there was a knock coming from outside the door.
knock-knock-
“you can come in.”
“excuse me.”
when permission is granted, the door opens.
it was a lady-in-waiting in a room assigned to each vip, but she stopped talking for a moment when she saw ray.
a mysterious young man with white hair is lying on the bed, and that alone makes me salivate.
he stared at me so intently that i even forgot to serve the tea i was carrying in my hands.
the lady-in-waiting hurriedly put the teacup down and said.
“women the banquet will be held from early evening. when that time comes, i will guide you.”
“thank you. i’m going to rest until then, so could you come and wake me up in advance?”
“i see.”
he hurriedly leaves the room while answering.
the maid who gently closed the door muttered to herself in the corridor of the vip room.
“no matter how big the banquet is, i never thought even the elves would come... they said it was a race of beauty, but the rumors were true...” * *
*
the castle was busy preparing for the banquet, so he was distracted.
with only a few days left, there are not one or two things that need to be done in a hurry.
thanks to that, only the workers died.
thanks to their sacrifices, the banquet was on time and was about to begin.
nobles arrived one after another, and the king of celia and the king of devon were also present.
it is a banquet where the kings of two kingdoms come together.
not to mention the expenses, the outfit itself has no choice but to be extravagant.
celestia, who attended the banquet at the request of her father deogard, did not look very good.
i’ve been waiting for him for over a year, so it’s understandable.
“i’ll give you a shout out for sure this time.”
as she speaks, the lady-in-waiting next to her agrees.
“it’s really too much to leave the princess behind.”
it wasn’t something the brainwasher who had been injecting false information into her limbs up to now would say.
celestia muttered as she looked out the window.
“according to my father’s words, he said that he would be attending this banquet.
she was neglected for a year and fell as soon as her self-confidence fell.
no matter how beautiful the off-white color was, the worry was still there.
will you really remember yourself?
what should i do if there is someone i’ve already decided to become a naeja?
when countless worries bite their tail after tail.
the maid added a word.
“i think the princess will be one of them.”
it was almost a lie, but it was enough to give her courage.
celestia, who gained a bit of confidence, clenched her small fist.
‘it’s a waste of time to give up now.’
she ate her heart again.
