Chapter 202. Results of printing and a new era
⑵ It is clear that this policy will take effect not in one or two years, but in more than 100 years.
So for me it’s just a bonus.
….I make and sell nonsensical things with this and that knowledge to eat, so it wouldn’t be bad to do good deeds like this sometimes.
It was such a whim.
It’s like a gift I give sometimes.
But even if you don’t see the results, you can be sure of what kind of effect it will have.
It was only the Kingdom of Ernesia that carried out this policy.
Perhaps other countries are also adopting a printing press, so some intellectuals will gradually notice the importance of it, but we have already taken the lead.
This is important.
The difference will surely widen after about 100 years or so.
It proves how much the history of other worlds.
“Surely, many people will praise the name of Arell-nim in the future.”
“I guess so.”
Even when I heard Damon making a fuss, I just shrugged it off.
Anyway, I have no way to see or hear that scene.
I don’t know if I’ll talk about my achievements later, but I’m not very interested in that.
“Well, at least I hope you don’t offer up prayers of thanks in front of my grave. I thought that would be a little embarrassing, but at my joke, Darmon chuckled as if he couldn’t help it.
“If you upload a dirty book, I’ll look at it.”
Even at this remark, he just passed it off as if he thought it was a joke.
But I’m sincere.
Rather than achievements in the distant future, I hope there will be something that I am interested in right now.
….Really, who wouldn’t make it?
naughty book.
I am always waiting
Several months have passed since the introduction of the printing press.
Shortly after the year Arel turned eighteen began, the Kingdom of Ernesia once again became abuzz with new news.
A new era has opened in Ernesia Kingdom.
Theonel Ernesia officially handed over the throne to Jeil Ernesia.
“I think my son, the 1st prince, Jeil, has the minimum qualifications to lead the country. That’s why I’ve decided to hand over this throne to the best.”
Theonel officially announced his intention to abdicate the throne.
Rumors were already circulating within the kingdom that I was certain that I would ascend the throne, so there was no great confusion.
When the throne suddenly changes, the people become anxious.
It is a virtue of intentionally releasing information to prevent it.
Of course, the nobles also supported the succession to the throne without objecting to anyone, as the royal family had conveyed their intentions right away.
The people also shouted the name of Jeil and hurray.
In this way, there was no disruption to the flow from the official succession announcement to the coronation ceremony.
everything went smoothly
Fufufufu You are finally succeeding to the throne.
As I watched the coronation ceremony from the VIP seat, I could only laugh in my heart.
Right now is the moment when the oldest brother inherits the crown from his father.
The nobles cheered and shouted the name of the oldest brother.
‘Fortunately, the coronation is proceeding without any problems.’
Seeing him inherit the throne safely makes me happy.
This is thanks to my secretly revealing my intention to support the oldest brother behind the scenes.
okay. It’ll be troublesome if you don’t inherit the throne safely.
‘Because my brother has to become the best lord since the founding of the kingdom.’
Only then will everyone pay attention to him and praise his name.
And then, in a peaceful kingdom, I can live happily doing what I want to do quietly.
Even if it wasn’t so, I needed to focus my attention elsewhere because I’ve been working on a lot of things lately.
In that respect, this coronation ceremony is truly exquisite timing.
‘…In the first place, I was deliberately working on the date, but.’
In the future, you will continue to do whatever you want to do with politics or troublesome things.
Because I’m going to play?.
King is a very tiring position.
As proof of that, the face of my father, who just handed over the crown, shows that he is taking care of himself, but there is something like peace in his heart.
Wouldn’t it feel like a heavy burden?
I know that feeling.
That’s why I don’t want to be king.
It’s literally like a game of spinning a bomb in the name of a king.
‘…Well, doesn’t everyone think that way?’
I sneakily glanced at the ceremony hall where the coronation was taking place.
On the other hand, there are nobles who purely support Big Brother.
There are very few guys who hide a feeling of disapproval.
Are they nobles from factions that support other royals?
After all, there is no such thing as a king who is supported by everyone.
Even this level of support is moderate.
‘The problem is…
I shifted my gaze.
This time, they are sitting in the same VIP seat as me.
The queen… is dying very well.
And the other royals…..
Kania doesn’t seem to care, Merrill doesn’t seem interested.
One…
My gaze turned to a blond young man among those sitting in the VIP seat.
Compared to the older brother, his blond hair, which is slightly lighter in color, is quite ordinary…
no, he gives off a plain impression.
The second prince of Ernesia Kingdom, Leonil Ernesia.
? ?????
Only Leonil-niisama had a complicated gaze.
‘…Do you feel like you can’t just celebrate?’
I looked at him anxiously.
The second prince of Ernesia Kingdom, Leonil Ernesia.
Originally, it was the body of the second successor.
‘Is there a ceremony after all?’
It wasn’t that Leonil-hyung-sama was showing anything suspicious.
Just like the rest of the royal family, I watch the coronation solemnly.
But no one can fool my eyes.
If you put your mind to it, you can see it sway down to the smallest detail.
I only glimpsed it briefly, but I can clearly see all of your feelings.
Brother Leonil watching the coronation ceremony seriously.
The fact that he managed to control the intense emotions that were not quite light in his eyes.
‘…I should hope nothing special happens.’
It is impossible for any royal family to celebrate such a spectacle with all the brothers.
But I couldn’t help but be somewhat concerned.
Usually in my experience… when you feel like this, something is bound to happen.
‘Please don’t think useless things. huh?’
At first, I just prayed in my heart.
“Ah… Sitting for a long time is really hard.”
Thanks to sitting upright in a solemn seat, the feeling of my buttocks feels flat for some reason.
After the coronation ceremony ended safely, I was able to barely stretch when I returned to the waiting room located inside the palace.
For the second time, I would like to decline such a troublesome seat.
What kind of bastard’s coronation is such a long story.
Can’t we just take off the crown and hand it over, saying, ‘Now you’re the king!’
Anyway, it ended without incident, so it doesn’t matter.
When I checked the time, there was quite a bit of time left after that.
After returning to the palace after a long time, I decided to have dinner with my mother, so I guess I have time until then.
what to do until then
just take a nap?
However, it seems that the world has no intention of leaving me to sleep comfortably.
“I’m sorry, Arell-sama, but…
outside the door, a lady-in-waiting who works in the palace is suddenly looking for me.
Ugh? why again! I can take a nap!
With this whining in my heart, I answered calmly.
“what?”
“His Majesty told me to bring Arel-nim.”
your majesty.
Father is no more.
Because that person is now the ancestor of the king.
If you think of your current majesty… you are the best older brother.
“Oh yeah?”
Maybe it’s because it’s not even the first day since I ascended the throne, so I really can’t get used to the title.
“You said you didn’t have to force yourself to come.”
“No, not to that extent. don’t let it go.”
I’m told to come, but I can’t go.
Shall we go and say congratulations?
After being guided by the lady-in-waiting, the oldest brother greeted me.
“I’m sorry for calling you all of a sudden, Arell.”
“….older brother. no sir it’s okay.”
I said it was okay with a moderate greeting and sat down at my brother’s recommendation.
“Isn’t hyung-nim right now the most busy time?”
Only the coronation ceremony was over, but a dinner party with nobles was scheduled after this.
Hee-ik…. If you’re really like me, you can’t eat because it’s annoying.
I thought I would take over this position.
“I’d like to say that I still have time… but I don’t know how much I can catch my breath after that.”
After the coronation, you will be the busiest.
Whoop whoop, soon hell will unfold for you.
I sincerely expressed my condolences to him who was about to die from work.
“So, the only chance I have to talk to you, Arell, is now.”
“?…indeed??????
Does it mean that now is the only time to have a conversation without paying attention to others?
“Arel, is your argument still unchanged?”
Jeil-hyung-nim deliberately didn’t point out the specifics, but it was clear what he was referring to.
It’s about the ‘war’ I talked about before.
At that time, when my older brother ascended the throne, I decided that I would prepare to fight and win the enemy in earnest.
You’ve made up your mind, but do you think you really have to push forward now?
What brought me to this place is to seek assurance once again.
“Unfortunately, it hasn’t changed.”
“….is it?”
My brother was truly sorry.
“On the contrary, I am more confident than I was then.”
“What does that mean?”
Come to think of it, I haven’t talked about it yet.
Even if it’s not, I was going to talk to you when I see you soon.
“There are signs.”
“symptom?”
“…I’ll show you this opportunity.”
I called the lady-in-waiting and told Dia, who was waiting outside, to teleport to the estate and bring it back.
If that’s the case anyway, if you pretend, you’ll understand, so it’ll be fine.
After a while, the lady-in-waiting returned with what Dia had brought.
What she brought was a bracelet-shaped tool.
“Is this… a magic tool?”
“Similar.”
It was a magical tool that interfered with the magic that was researched in the past.
I confiscated something from a pickpocket earlier.
“What is this?”
“This is the sign I told you about.”
The older brother kept his mouth shut.
I explained the effect of this bracelet.
I only said certain things because I was still researching.
“You mean to interfere with magic?”
“yes. And I caught the guys who already have a few of these.”
Even after that, reports often came flying in that they found people who committed crimes with this.
“Where did this magical tool come from… Does that mean you’re here?”
“…Still, this is an assumption.”
I’m almost certain already, but I’ve nailed it down as a hypothesis just in case.
“The Zelnian Holy Kingdom is the most likely.”
My brother was silent for a while.
“The grounds?”
“It is not a magic tool.”
After that, just in case I didn’t know, I secretly took it to the owner of the Mage Tower to hear his opinion on this.
My own research is sufficient, but sometimes I need the opinions of others.
As a result, I was sure to hear the same answer.
“This is not a magic tool.”
Magic theory was not reflected here at all.
No magical circuits unique to magic tools or artifacts were found.
