Chapter 811 – #96. Chinhaesol (115)
“Spend a lot of money! Don’t save everything and get everything!”
“You mean by using all of this?”
“Yes. I heard that the grace received from His Majesty is being used for the festival of the people. What can anyone say? If there is anything they say, bring it in front of me. Let’s see if we can do that in front of His Majesty as well.”
The bureaucrats expressed disapproval when they saw Bianca, who, as if it were natural, brought the authority of the emperor and gave instructions to the workers.
It didn’t look good to sell the emperor’s authority like that.
But her authority was so true that her officials could not ignore her words.
“Do you really need to do this?”
Looking at the gold and silver treasures that the workers are working hard on, the bureaucrat felt a pity for nothing and asked.
This wasn’t a festival, it was money.
“You know that the Geos Empire is being ridiculed by other countries these days, right?”
“You mustn’t listen to such rude people!”
“I want to do that too. But it’s a problem because there are not one or two rude people. This festival is a way to show people that the Geos Empire is alive and well. So, it should be decorated as luxuriously and grandly as possible!”
“No matter how much it is, too much wealth is going into it.”
“My money, I want to spend it, but I will spend it.
The bureaucrat rolled his eyes at Bianca’s chilling warning.
But deep inside, she still wasn’t convinced.
‘Isn’t all the money from your hands belonging to our imperial family!!’
So it’s such a waste.
Because all those gold and silver treasures were the property of the imperial family!!
But they shamelessly tell you not to care because it’s yours.
Thanks to this, the bureaucrats were not talking.
“Let’s make a golden statue. It will capture the dignified and beautiful appearance of His Majesty the Emperor!”
Woah, a golden statue?!
“You’re not saying you’re going to use the whole gold, right?”
“Of course it should. Shouldn’t it be made of gold so that it can contain even a little bit of His Majesty’s majesty? We’ll have to buy a lot of gold. Get a lot of gold!”
“I’m going crazy.”
“It must have been rocked hard.”
Officials shook their heads.
“You mean this flower is a fantasy flower that is more expensive than gold?”
“Yes!”
“Hmm, you look ugly?”
“Still, it’s a very rare flower. It’s a particularly good elixir for wizards, so it’s hard to find it. If it’s alive like this, it’s even more valuable.”
“Really? Then plant this in the garden of the imperial palace! It would be perfect to show it to the nobles who came to see the festival.”
Whether the officials clicked their tongues or not.
Bianca didn’t stop spending money on the festivities.
Under the protection of the emperor, she could do nothing in this empire.
♧ ♧ ♧
– A golden statue?
“Yeah~ It’s a really good cause, isn’t it? Collecting gold under the pretext of making a statue will avoid other people’s suspicions. The real statue will be roughly plated off.”
-I told you to tidy up and come.
“He told me to organize it within 2 months, so I have to pack what I can within that time! The festival will be a good excuse.”
It wasn’t that she said she would open a festival out of nowhere.
This is all to make money circulate legally.
Shouldn’t money be moved so that it can be eaten in the process and moved elsewhere?
“Whoa, there’s no such thing as a good paper company here.”
-Ah…
“Master, wait quietly. I’ll take care of everything.”
No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t want to follow my master’s orders.
I know it’s wealth that I have to throw away anyway, but I think that choosing a place to throw it away should be ‘oneself’.
Paper company.
So, I created a company that exists only on paper.
And I made a deal with them and gave them a lot of money, and I also handed over the money in the name of investment money.
Through this festival, Bianca will scrape off all the wealth she has collected and move them to another place.
‘The money going out is not easy, but…’
It was necessary to sacrifice a cow for the Great.
The plan to use the festival to move the things taken from the emperor was all completed, and now all that was left was to move the top wealth she had newly created in this country.
‘How should I move this…’
It was important to move the upper class property, but it was sad to go on like this, so I wanted to hit the back of the nobles for the last time.
‘Investment…Try touching it?’
There was nothing I couldn’t touch.
This is because the authority received from the emperor allows easy access to the investment money.
However, if you provoked the nobles that much, it might not be easy to escape.
How angry would you be if your money was stolen?
‘But what are you guys going to do? They should have escaped by boat.’
Her escape plan had already been drawn up.
She had a ship waiting for her that could set sail at any time.
Perhaps if the master had known, she would have stopped because she was too dangerous.
Bianca knew that too, so she suppressed her impulse and decided to take another look at the situation.
‘Let’s put this on hold until we’re sure it works.’
In fact, if there was one thing Bianca wanted to take care of the most, she would definitely be the emperor.
She hadn’t played with the emperor yet, so she wanted to kidnap her too if she could take her status as emperor with her.
But a kidnapped emperor would be of no value.
The nobles will set up another emperor, and they will be frantic to settle the country in chaos.
That’s why Bianca was the most coveted, but she agonized over what kind of gift she should leave to the emperor, whom she couldn’t touch.
♧ ♧ ♧
News that the Geos Empire was preparing a month-long festival of firewood quickly spread around the world.
And the preparation period of one month passed in an instant.
Bianca has been successful in sending a huge amount of money to our empire.
She really stuck out her tongue as she watched her tenaciously bring it.
It was strange that even though she sent so much, she didn’t suspect anything on the other side.
So she made several requests to the escort knights who were keeping Bianca at close range.
She told her not to look back and to prioritize her escape if she felt she was in danger.
They’ll try to track down where her Bianca is running away, but it doesn’t matter, bring her to the Empire.
Our empire was confident that it could handle even a war with the Geos Empire.
‘In the first place, the Geos Empire wouldn’t welcome the war. What kind of spirit are they going to go to war with?’
Wasn’t the barn of the country robbed?
War costs a lot of money.
The Geos Empire had no money to fight the war because Bianca robbed the barn.
It’s a huge achievement made in just a year.
If he was the first escort knight, he would have said that he would rather die than get caught, but now his attitude has changed.
She was a talent too precious to die because of the Geos Empire.
Even the article acknowledged that!
“Shouldn’t we send someone to attend the festival too?”
“Since the war ended, the aftermath still remains, so we haven’t developed a friendly relationship, but it seems right to send it.”
The nobles also agreed to send envoys to attend the festival.
“Who should I send…”
If possible, I wanted to give a chance to a noble who knew the truth about Bianca.
He hoped that he would go there and ease Bianca’s burden a little.
“Baron Dane.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“Of course, Your Majesty!”
Baron Dane was a loyal servant who willingly gave up his knight when I was concerned about Bianca’s safety.
He was a man with a heavy mouth and serious personality.
He was a person who brought chivalry as it was, so it would be no shortage of words, and he was also a person who trusted Bianca’s safety and entrusted it to her.
I secretly gave him another mission that wasn’t about attending the festival.
“I want you to bring Bianca safely to the Empire.”
“I will surely carry out what you commanded.”
“I believe in you, but since you’re a person with a lot of worries, I’ll take care of this.”
“What is this?”
“In a moment of danger, it will save your life.”
I have a gut feeling that I am not properly reporting what I am doing there.
I could guess because I had seen Bianca for a long time.
If the tail is long, it will be stepped on.
She seemed unwilling to stop being greedy, and if she was for the Empire, she shouldn’t stop being greedy.
Bianca’s greed would drive the Geos Empire into crisis.
“He’s a man who has worked hard for his country. Can’t you just use it up and throw it away like garbage? If you’ve risked your life for the empire, I think it’s right that you should be treated accordingly.”
Baron Dane’s eyes twinkled at my words.
How easy is it for a subject to hear these words from the emperor?
The emperor was one person, but the vassal was a position that could be replaced by any number of others.
However, since the emperor cares for each person, he cannot help but be moved.
“Once its tail is captured, the Geos Empire will not stand still. Another war may break out.”
“I don’t want a war to happen right away. If left alone, the Geos Empire will naturally collapse. Jim hopes to eat the Geos Empire without much sacrifice by striking the weak Geos Empire.”
Externally, the Geos Empire will show off its strength through an exceptionally large festival.
But we knew it was nothing more than a precarious construction built on sand.
“Even if Bianca enters our empire, the Geos Empire cannot start a war. The nobles are not fools. No one will want to start a war with our empire again.”
When the war begins, national projects invested by nobles will be pushed back indefinitely.
Business failure.
It wasn’t in the heads of the nobles of the Geos Empire right now, and it was something they didn’t dare to think about.
“Bianca will be treated as an exile in our empire externally. The nobles of the Geos Empire will provide the prestigious status. Bianca, who was threatened with her life, accidentally escaped to our empire with the help of Baron Dane.”
“That will not convince the Geos Empire.”
“It doesn’t matter if they don’t agree.”
Rather, the Geos Empire should be grateful that our Empire did not go to war first.
If I were an emperor who truly cared for the infinite development of the empire, there would never have been a better time to start a war than now.
‘Seeing blood is not my thing to do. I don’t want to do it in the first place.’
It is a place where new life has come to sprout.
The war was intended to be left to the next great emperor, so it was only necessary to season it appropriately.
