Chapter 582 – Honorary Nobility (4)
“Yeah, well I thought I would too.”
I gave a calm reply to Elizabeth’s revelation, which was not the case.
In fact, there are parts that are hard to understand, but if it is not the treasure of the pyramid, there is nothing else the royal family can aim for. It was a natural conclusion.
“So you’re an unsuspecting spy, so to speak?”
“Exactly. It’s not Britannia, it’s because it’s a wealthy rich man with no ties to our country. And power and money, if these two are backed up, there are many things possible, right?”
“I’ve been feeling it lately too.”
“Yes. But it’s a little hard to be completely unsuspected. But I thought it was enough to buy them time until they became an unstoppable force.”
Aside from mumbling, the knives used to cut the meat are also dignified. I gave up trying to copy it and just sliced it comfortably and handed it to Fran.
“It’s common to send spies to other countries, but once you aim for the system of honorary aristocrats, it’s possible to dig deep into them. It would be ideal if one spy had power and could obtain information.”
In other words, setting up the FBI in someone else’s country.
It must not have been as simple as it sounds, but Elisabeth added something as simple as building a sandcastle in someone else’s garden.
“To give an example——a person with a thick pipe, a senator of the Senate, a lot of money, and a person with excellent skills and brains would be the best.”
“… That’s.”
Frank’s eyes narrowed slightly. It is a really serious expression that is usually not shown to others, let alone when dealing with family or nobles.
“I’m sorry to tell you, but that seems beyond my ability.”
She said, placing her hand on Fran’s thigh from beneath her, hidden by her table.
It was a sensitive topic that our Franc, uncharacteristically, intervened in business discussions. But if I refuse, there’s no need to set me up for anything.
“Yes. Of course I thought you would decline.”
Had Elizabeth expected the answer too? She thought nothing of it——no, rather, she even looked apologetic and lowered her head.
“A ruler should throw away his conscience as needed, but even a country like this has a human heart? I’m not ashamed to ask a benefactor like that.”
“Then why do you say that?”
“Because I didn’t know if you would have the will to do that.”
To me?
Why would I get a job as Spy Master Captain Britannia? I awoke the elite groaning that had been messing around with my wives.
“… Are you talking about
“Yes. They were hiding in Nidavellir, Narmer-Nile, and even in our country?”
“If you say you can gather information by becoming an honorary noble, you mean it will be easy to find those hiding in Romania.”
─Evil. I split a small vegetable fruit with a knife.
“So, if I wanted to, would you change the direction of the plan and make ‘a spy for the royal family’ into a ‘royal family for the spy’? Why did you come to that conclusion?”
“Because Romania is a dangerous opponent. She is worth the sheer power of the royal family to those with superior abilities who want to probe the enemy.”
– Whiririk. Elisabeth rotated the knife she had cleaned her sauce on in her hand.
“You need money to keep the organization going. Not to mention a group with a lot of secrets. I couldn’t believe that the
“… There must be a headquarters somewhere? Do you see that as Romania?”
“
The knife spinning in her grasp rose sharply.
“It is the intuition that separates judgment at the last minute of the last minute. If you wait for all the information to gather, it will be too late. Possibilities, feelings, and intuition. Even with that, there are times when you have to challenge yourself.”
Is that what it is now? I drank water.
Didn’t the next queen see Letitia and realize the danger through her skin?
To think that something like that might be going around in your own country, saying, ‘You’re a goddess from the countryside. Anyone who rules the country will get goosebumps.
“I have no intention of forcing you. It’s just that if you sincerely want to find something hidden in Romania, I’ll agree to your request. Aside from the reward I will give you.”
Elisabeth stuck out her tongue, took a bite of her, and pushed aside the vegetable dish she couldn’t reach. Maybe she just didn’t like her taste. It seems she doesn’t like to eat.
And instead, they enjoyed slicing meat dishes.
“The will is very important. Some people are born strong from the start, but the driving force that drives people to act is their own will after all, right? Let’s try to force it like correcting an unbalanced diet.”
“I will… Sounds like a big story?”
“Shall I speak a little casually? Motivation, dreams, desire, selfishness, whatever. The harder the days, the better. Even if you don’t want to do it, you have to have a reason to do it. If you have a strong will, you will work hard even if no one else tells you to.”
“Did you see that I had a reason for that?”
“From Gildart’s point of view, you seemed to have a pretty deep relationship with the
“I understand what you said. In other words, it’s a spy quest that’s separate from the reward from the previous job, handed over to the adventurer Nord. It doesn’t matter if I get rejected.”
“Ahaha! To put it bluntly, it will happen!”
I smiled and slowly put the sliced food into my mouth.
It is an inn in Narmer-Nile, but the food is Romanian cuisine with few likes or dislikes.
High-quality food derived from old traditions and history implied Romania’s historical hegemony, which was able to value food in food and shelter.
It is a modern, different world where most of the technology of the golden age of ancient civilization has been lost due to war. Even though the country was reeling, it meant that it had continued its history without major problems.
“You are much more advanced than the average spy. You can call me a correspondent.”
“Um, I don’t plan on making anything grandiose. If you don’t care about unsuspecting funding or something like that, you’re worse than not helping. Are you suspicious? Maybe.”
– Moongrak.
I burst into laughter again when I heard Fran’s clinking tableware.
Are you worried that I will accept it?
But it’s okay to intervene. Even in Fran’s view, this offer had merits. Although the risk is high, I usually think of returns rather than risks and move.
“I’m sorry, but I will refuse.”
Was it like that? I shook my head.
Sensing Fran’s surprised eyes, I said calmly.
“I fully understand what you said, but it’s hard to believe that I have the will to do so. Besides, I don’t have enough acting skills, and my manners are clumsy, aren’t I?”
Every time I acted, I was exposed to my true identity.
Based on that experience, if I spy, I would unconsciously become Captain Skull in front of the Romanian aristocrats at some point.
“Yes. I can’t help it. It’s an adventurer’s right to refuse a request you don’t like.”
Elizabeth calmly backed away and grinned.
“Then let’s move on to talking about conservatives! In fact, I think you and I would have expected more of this than the old-fashioned spy story, how is it!”
“Anyway, this is Princess Elizabeth. You have a clear idea of the thoughts of the poor man. Khehehehe!”
When the atmosphere, like the beginning of a noir movie, changed completely, Fran, who had lost her tableware next to me, started hiccuping as if in surprise. Ugh, that’s fucking cute Non-stop wrestling reservations tonight.
“I’m going to be overdosing on empty checks now, but don’t worry! For adventurers, contract compliance is the basic of the basics! I promise to repay you if possible, even by grabbing Obama by the collar and shaking him!”
─Pak! Elizabeth vigorously spread her arms.
He almost got hit because the side she had to stretch was on the side of the road dart, but he roughly blocked it with one arm and peppered her with a disinterested look. Even this bastard is a formidable enemy.
I said while disinfecting Frank’s tableware with magic.
“Just make it amicable. I don’t want to be the frontrunner of the Revolution.”
“Oh! You, aren’t expecting much because our country’s royal authority is lagging behind, right?!”
When I answered, Elizabeth jumped up in shock. This is why she hates quick-witted nobles.
“Look how calm he is! We are also very worried! Do you know how hard it is to choose the right reward for a kid like you who has everything he deserves and has no desire for honor?!”
─Puck, puck! She thumped her chest like it was cramped.
Married woman don’t do that. You have nowhere to look I’m going to steal a franc chest for a while.
“Or well, I’m not the kind of person who would be happy if you put me in the Royal Guard or the head of the Royal Guard like other nobles!”
“It’s not so much a reward, it’s like a leash.”
Shiva, Hanhwa Life contract (non-cancellable) or 1.5 times monthly salary professional sergeant. Evie, that’s terrible.
No matter how much our ancestors said that a snake’s head is better than a dragon’s tail, isn’t that place a worm’s head? How meaningful is it to distinguish earthworms from head to tail?
“Great. Let’s do it like this.”
Elizabeth leaned over her table, raising her index finger.
“Tell me what you want. You can be honest. We entrusted our lives to each other, but I will forgive you even if you cross the line slightly. Ah, but no matter how you do it, you can’t fall for me?”
“Princess, don’t joke once you become queen. I think the listeners will be executed because they can’t find a point to laugh at and make a mistake.”
I praised myself for putting up with being almost insulted by a joke that wasn’t even funny. Kang Buk-ho, you bastard, seems to have grown up a bit. I’m a bit proud.
Ha, I, Kang Buk-ho, are getting stronger every moment.
We broke up such annoying stories and chatted noisily like after parties at an adventurer’s party, before it was late in the night.
