A few more days passed and the capital’s schedule was completed.
It was a journey where I felt like I would be completely exhausted if I attended just one more banquet.
Why is there an argument with Yeong-sik, whom he has no contact with? An assassin is sent for hitting Yeong-sik. The assassin is a messenger for the expansion of the war in the East, and the target of assassination is his close friend, Elbus Graham.
When I thought about it, it was a coincidence that made me laugh out loud.
But that’s over too.
Now it was time to return to Yubin’s mansion.
Elric spoke to Tyria, who had prepared to leave with a much more at ease mind.
“It must have been an eventful outing.”
“It is indeed so.”
For some reason, Tyria’s expression was bright as she nodded slightly.
It was a proud thing for Elric.
‘In the end, Elbus’ meddling was helpful.’
After he claimed to be Portman’s ally, Tyria was constantly surrounded by nobles from other kingdoms.
Although they became close for benefit, their goodwill could not have been used against Portman.
Tyria was well aware of this and spent her days breaking through invitations and transaction distribution networks for various private parties.
Surprisingly, she, who rarely shows her emotions, even said such a thing.
-It was a banquet with a lot of income. I’m satisfied.
That’s it.
“young master! “The carriage has arrived!”
The return was by carriage as planned.
There was a desire to put Tyria on the train one more time and see her embarrassed, but Elric quickly gave up his fun, thinking that if he did so, he would receive a level of resentment that he could not handle.
The moment she got into the carriage, Tyria began to make a more relaxed face, as if she was not happy with the rattling carriage.
I stare at that face.
Then, faced with Elbers’ suggestion, my mind, which I was not yet able to properly define its true meaning, began to stretch.
I don’t want to leave her side.
Such shameful thoughts brought out a feeling of shame in Elric that he had never felt before in every moment of silence.
“Then let’s go!”
With R.D.O.’s voice, ‘Fuhihing!’ The silence was broken by a horse neighing.
At that moment, Tyria spoke.
“… “Now we’re finally going back to our house.”
The word ‘we’ becomes a ripple, spreading ripples through my heart.
Elric responded with a small laugh, feeling truly tickled and happy about it.
“exactly. “I think we’re going back home.”
As he chewed and savored the taste, Elric’s mood reached a point where it was quite refreshing.

The Duke of Wight of the Armin Kingdom.
There was a man sitting in the dressing room of the grand banquet hall somewhere in that huge mansion, reading a newspaper.
None other than goldsmith Edward Whyte.
He clicked his tongue and parted his lips.
“Hey, did you see this stupid person?”
The newspaper he read was none other than the eastern daily newspaper that had stirred up the Kingdom of Ferdin.
“Assassination of Elber Graham? And that too in Ferdin where the elders are? “This guy also has a really big liver.”
“How many of you know that?”
“The problem is that you committed it without knowing. “It’s proof of incompetence.”
Edward dismissed the secretary’s words and added an explanation.
“This is why Alton guys can’t do it. No, to be exact, that guy is probably the one that won’t work.”
“Yes, the natural interest of the Kingdom of Alton.”
“I feel sorry for Wolyoung too. “If it were me, I would retire from the industry as soon as I found out that it was he who was manipulating them behind their backs.”
Cheonik, one of the seven rivers on the continent.
The shadow of the king who protects the Kingdom of Alton.
There was one fact that the citizens of the continent, and even most of Wolyeong’s top executives, did not know.
It is true that the person leading Wolyoung from behind is none other than Alton’s Cheonik Ramses Alton.
This was a fact that Edward did not like very much.
This was despite the fact that his goals were somewhat consistent with his own.
The secretary pointed out that point.
“Still, if Cheonik’s plan had succeeded, wouldn’t the war have been prolonged?”
“You stupid secretary. If the eastern part of the country gets involved in the war, there will be problems with supply. The economy is completely shattered. Then all my money will be gone, so I have to protect that side. Above all, if the war spreads to the east, you will get involved in the war. Is there anything bigger than that? From what I can see, it looks like he is satisfied with his current nursing life, but he is helping me by staying there.”
“Is that so.”
“Anyway, my thoughts are short. “Our secretary friend.”
“I will resign.”
“It’s my fault.”
Good!
Edward folded the newspaper and stood up.
“Stop talking about this. “Let’s go show our faces.”
“Yes, all major shareholders have gathered.”
“Okay, okay, it should look good.”
Edward sighed.
He didn’t usually invite shareholders who had limited money, but today the situation was different.

“Are you ready for the investment briefing session?”
“It was absolutely done.”
“Have you checked the shareholders’ tastes and allergies?”
“We have assigned one dedicated chef to each person.”
“After all, we only have secretaries.”
Edward smiled and left the dressing room.
Today was the day of an investment briefing session to attract development costs for a new invention that had been planned.
If it were a decent amount of research, I would have done it with the money I had saved… This time, the scale was different from usual and external funding was needed.
There was one thing that I regretted at times like these.
‘If the friendly stake had been a little larger, there wouldn’t have been such an uproar every time an announcement was made.’
Even though it is a stock company that makes the agenda, it is ultimately the shareholders who have the power to make the decision.
Research that they do not like will be abandoned before it even begins due to the majority rule.
For Edward, it was blood-curdling.
Currently, the friendly share that gives absolute support to Edward is about 47%.
If I had just 3.1% more, I could really move as I want.
No, for the sake of stability, if they supported him by 5% more, he would definitely be able to ignore the opinions of the remaining shareholders.
The more he thought about it, the more disappointed Edward became, so he asked the secretary a question like he did at any other investment briefing session.
“Did that human come?”
“If you say it’s that human… .”
“Why, that guy who took 6% of our shares and hasn’t shown his face even once?”
“Oh, you mean KS?”
“Damn you, what initials are you using?”
“It’s the shareholder.”
“Anyway, you’re saying it didn’t come out? Ah, just come out. Just pop it!”
“sudden?”
“Crawling on all fours and rubbing your head against the soles of your feet!”
“You’re ugly.”
“You can get as ugly as you want in front of the owner.”
If it’s not just a shareholder, but a joker card that will definitely bring management rights to this precarious situation, then why not do it because it’s more than that?
Edward pursed his lips and then straightened his expression at the door of the banquet hall in the distance.
It was that moment.
“The Duke of Edward Wight, Chairman of EW, enters!”
Hearing the loud voice of an employee announcing his appearance, Edward stood in front of the shareholders with his usual confident expression.
“hello. Dear shareholders! A genius of this era who will take charge of your safe! “Edward Wight is here!”
His attitude could have been frivolous, but what he achieved soon became brilliant, transforming frivolity into cheerfulness.
Applause from shareholders rang out everywhere.
Edward slowly rolled his eyes and looked for the two people who were called major shareholders.
‘Okay, first of all, our Demon Lord sent a representative as usual.’
You can stop worrying about this.
Then the other side… .
“hey! Bisil!”
… As expected, he came in person.
Edward artificially smiled brightly.
“Sister Igret! “How much is this?”
Edward spread his arms and began to run briskly.
The one at the end was a petite woman with long red hair that reached down to her hips.
White skin, freckles all over the face, deep dark circles, and scarlet irises that make them stand out.
What can I say?
She is the siege weapon of the Calbaran Kingdom.
It was Chloride Igret from the 7th lecture.
“Where are you going to hug me?!”
Pop!
Her outstretched foot hit Edward right in the crotch.
“Keuuk!”
It’s a shame that he came wearing a protective belt. It’s a crisis that almost cuts off the Wight family.
Igret, whether aware of this fact or not, giggled and hit Edward on the shoulder.
“It’s been a while since this guy? “Where are you running around like that?”
“What am I… “I was busy working and going around.”
“Everyone is so busy these days with the war and everything. “Don’t bother me.”
She licked her lips.
It was worth knowing.
Isn’t she the one who uses extreme levels of scorched-earth magic and rarely goes to battle due to her unique laziness?
Edward suddenly remembered the past.
There was an incident where she, who had not even turned her head towards the battlefield for nearly a year, suddenly entered the battlefield.
-Kasha is that guy gone? why? why?
That was the disappearance of Sword Demon Kasha.
How loudly did Igret scream that day?
-Why?! Where did he go? Ahhh!!!
It was a hostile relationship created by her small size.
The day the two met on the battlefield, due to Igret’s small size, Kasha mistook her for a child and kicked her in the butt, knocking her out.
It was not long ago that Igret entered the siege of Chebor’s capital, threatening to destroy everything he had protected.
It was Igret’s question that awakened Edward’s mind as he reminisced.
“But you still don’t know about that guy Kasha? ok? “I told you to find out.”
Igret asked in a threatening tone.
Edward thought of Kasha hanging out at Wibin Manor.
‘I’m doing well with my wife haha.’
Can you say that?
At that moment, this foul-tempered woman will go straight to turn the East Coast into a sea of fire.
“I’m still doing well… “Uh-huh.”
“Eye, useless bastard.”
Igret bit her chewy fingernails.
Edward spoke to himself with his mouth tightly shut.
‘There is no obsession like this, even if it is very obsessional.’
Why would you be so angry about just getting your ass kicked?
This is why things that have grown beautifully are not allowed.
Edward kept repeating to himself what he should not say to a major shareholder with 10% of the shares.
