Chapter 236 – 25. Escaflowne
“Ugh… I’m lazy! So much!”
An attitude too lazy to be called the emperor of a country.
Seorae is called the emperor of indolence by some, but if you listen to what he says, there is no exaggeration.
“By the way, how did the suppression of the rebellion go?”
Are you trying to change the subject? Seorae turned around.
Soyi knew that too, but she accepted it because she did n’t want to talk about it anymore.
“Duke Yuri tidied it up.”
“But. He’s a Tier 6 talent, so he can’t be dealt with by a mere rebel. Did you find out exactly why it happened?”
“It’s a common riot, but it’s an expanded form with the nobility intervening. The main reason is that the people rose up because the lords were tyrannical.”
“As expected. What and how much did you eat?”
“First of all, the tax we pay to the imperial government is 50%, and the tax we pay to each lord is about 10%. However, the tax paid to the imperial government and the lord was left as it was, and 30% was taken off with additional reasons attached. The tax rate is a total of 9 discounts.”
“Hey… The liver is also large. I don’t even touch 90%.”
“So the majority of the people abandoned the land and went into the mountains to dig slash darts… An uproar ensued as the noble’s army went all the way to the mountain, catching slash-and-burn people and turning them into slaves. And eventually, a massive uprising broke out.
In such a situation, a small nobleman with a small power seduced the people and started a rebellion.”
“Are you an opportunist? Did you think you could overthrow this country with just that much?”
“No, according to the adviser, the intention was to occupy a state and negotiate with the home country.”
“You fool. Do you think I would do that?”
“You wouldn’t.”
If it’s Seorae, I’ll wipe it all out because it’s annoying.
In fact, in the states where the rebellion took place, ‘all the nobility in existence’ had already been slaughtered.
It is said that Duke Yuri did the execution, but of course there is Seorae behind it.
Yena, as of now, is a person who cares about life (especially the nobility), so the mention of her name made the nobles tremble.
“You don’t need stupid, incompetent bitches. Better off without it It’s a country that was founded, but it makes a civil war happen.”
“I… Now, the treatment of the people remains… Are you really building one of them?”
“He said he woke up because it was hard to make ends meet. Then ask yourself to rule. On the line that doesn’t look hateful to us. That said, it’s good if you do it right, and what if he also corrupts….”
I know even if the back story doesn’t come out.
“Listen. There are four types of people in this world. First, there are smart and diligent people, and second, there are smart but lazy people. The third is a stupid but diligent person, and the fourth is a stupid and lazy person. Which of these types should not be the leader?”
“Aren’t you stupid and lazy?”
“No. He’s better.”
“Yes?”
“Being lazy doesn’t really matter. Look at me.”
“… I think there are many… If you’re stupid, shouldn’t you be diligent?”
“I don’t think so. But it’s not. If a stupid bitch is unnecessarily diligent, he explodes uncontrollable things. Then the organization cannot develop, and time and manpower are spent only on cleaning up after that.”
“In other words, you’re saying that a stupid and diligent person shouldn’t be a leader.”
“Exactly, no matter what kind of stupid bitch, you shouldn’t be a leader. Not to mention the emperor or king who is the pinnacle of it.
At least, if you’re stupid, you’re lazy, so it’s better if you stay still. Competent servants will take care of it. However, if an incompetent king gets motivated and starts doing this or that, the effect goes on to the next generation, or even the next generation after that. Maybe a really competent Seonggun was born, but due to the incompetent shoveling of the previous generation, it is consumed after cleaning up for the rest of its life. What a pitiful situation this is.
Got it? So being lazy is a blessing.”
“… Why is the conclusion like that?”
Anyway, in case someone is not the emperor of indolence, he sneaks in a strange word.
“Why don’t you be diligent, mother? Still, in the early days, he was the most successful person since the founding of the country. Why did you fall like this?”
“It’s a fall. You don’t know what the blessings of laziness are.”
“Around last year, the Six Organizations were ordered to say, ‘Ah! You’re starting to work! .”
“Life history is laziness.”
“Don’t say anything strange.”
After finishing the meal, Seorae put her face on the table.
“This is a philosophy. Humans develop to be lazy, and live to be lazy. Why do you want to make money? For being lazy Why do you want to gain power? For being lazy The ultimate goal of all human beings is laziness. In other words, laziness is the most important word for self-realization.”
“What is philosophy… It’s just annoying.”
“What is it?”
“Even my brother-in-law would hate it if he knew this.”
“I don’t think so. He might like it if I stay still.”
“Why?”
“It’s good to prick… “
“Aaaaagh!”
“Come on.”
“Ugh….”
Soi was desperate.
“Who the hell gave birth to such a terrible emperor….”
“Aren’t you talking too much to your mother?”
“It’s done. Mother, just come down. I will be the emperor That would be better.”
“That is a dangerous statement.”
“Now I understand. My mother just goes to her brother-in-law and buys it. I will rule this country!”
Soi makes a huge declaration.
However, the listening Seorae had a sullen face.
“You are still lacking. It’s a long way from me.”
“That mother isn’t doing anything!”
“I told you. Being lazy is a blessing.”
“They said that incompetent people shouldn’t be lazy. Mother is not an incompetent person. You are just a lazy person.”
“So being lazy is a blessing.”
“Ugh… I can’t speak to her mother!”
“When did it work?”
“Shut up!!”
I can say that I am the most annoying type of person.
“Well, I have to find my own life, so it will be three years at the most. It will take care of itself after that, so wait.”
“Huh. The country will perish Really.”
“Why are you ruined? I have.”
“….”
She had a mountain of words to say, but instead she shuddered.
“Well… I must prepare.”
“What? Are you senior?”
“… He’s Why did you suddenly become so edgy? He’s coming, so you have to prepare.”
“What are you preparing for?”
“Yeah….”
“No, don’t tell me.”
Feeling ominous, she just hung up.
* * *
“So, are you going abroad again?”
Aran, with a big heart, calls her wives together.
There, she declared her will her to go to the Mei Empire.
Of course, the response was not good.
Especially Illyana was severe.
“Why is the guy who just came back running around like that? He is the King.”
“Haha….”
It was surprising to Aran that her free-spirited woman reacted most sensitively, but she had her own reasons for her.
It’s Aran who has to hug Mulla according to the contract, but to go on a trip without a promise again.
If not, the dragons might have strange feelings.
“Hmm… Well, I think it’s fine.”
Moae spoke with great triumph.
Because instead of going to the Mei Empire, she decided to take her wives her, Moae, Hancock, and Ramias, who had been away for three months.
“Right. How frustrating must Your Highness be to be alone in this stuffy palace? Let’s open our minds a little more.”
“What is a stuffy palace? I didn’t go around almost every day.”
“The royal palace of Athens is also a royal palace. Your Highness needs more experience. According to Jagoro, discernment is a necessary virtue for a leader, but it would be good to look around here and there to develop that insight.”
Hancock, who went with him, defended Aran half desperately.
Well, I was almost certain that I was going to see a girl, but what can I do? I’m already that kind of person.
“… Are you serious?”
Illyana twitches without anyone knowing and shoots her eyes out.
An inaudible conversation began between the two.
‘A dragon would know why I’m doing this, right?’
‘Because she’s His Highness’s wife before the dragon.’
‘Puck. Aren’t you here aiming for Aran too?’
‘I am not. I love you with all my heart. From the first time we met.’
‘Huh….’
‘And don’t worry about dragons. I’ll take care of it.’
Eventually, Illyana scratched her head and opened her mouth.
“Do whatever you want. Instead, come back as early as possible.”
“I will. Please take care of state affairs.”
“Huh.”
