Chapter 311. The most surplus business in the world is a liquor seller, right? (4) When he learned about the situation on the continent from his tutor when he was young, he learned that different races had different values and were at odds with each other.
But to think that they are now sitting in a circle facing each other around a table.
Right now, educated people will have to revise all common sense and teach it to their children again.
‘By the way…why would I…?’
Viscount Remen’s original mission was simply to convey the will of affection to them, that is, a ‘gift’, as the king’s number one order in Ernesia.
He is just the role of a postman this time.
If it was a more detailed and important negotiation, he would have sent someone with a higher rank than himself.
To him, this situation is very sudden.
After handing over the gift to a member of Kelly’s side, didn’t he suddenly let him into this meeting room saying he had something to do?
‘What the hell is going on.’
I was hoping it wouldn’t be a major problem.
“…I am truly sorry for calling you so suddenly.”
In the meantime, among the representatives of the different races sitting at the round table.
A female elf with long pointed ears and a slightly pale complexion looked at Viscount Remen and spoke.
‘Surely that person…
hasn’t been revealed in detail about the different races yet.
The Kingdom had already obtained information about some of the representatives, including the elves I was talking to.
She is the former Queen of the Elven Kingdom.
After the founding of Kelia, it is said that her title was changed from the position of queen of the elven kingdom to the current position of the elven representative.
This is the only case where a former tribal representative remains as a current council representative.
As for the other races… For example, I’ve heard that in the case of the Dwarf King, after the unification, he puts down all titles and goes into seclusion.
The current dwarf representative is said to be his son.
In other tribes, the tribal leaders in the past are not involved in politics, and the representative is occupied by a proxy.
The elf representative continued to talk to Viscount Remen with a slightly embarrassed smile.
“It may be sudden, but please wait for a while.”
“no. My role is to convey your will to the motherland and convey the will of the motherland to you instead. If you have something to say, it’s my job to be happy to hear it. Don’t worry about it.”
Viscount Remen still faithfully responded to his duty.
“Even so, it is rare. Until now, envoys from each country had come. You are the first person who does not waver in front of us.”
no. I’m agitated.
It’s kind of scary because everyone except for the elves looks scary.
I can’t say that I’m really nervous.
I’ve already thought of an appropriate answer for this.
“We, Ernesia Kingdom, have been carrying out a policy of harmony with people of different races for a long time. It’s a familiar sight for us.”
“Um, that’s right.”
“It’s much better compared to the bastards of the Holy Kingdom!”
“Certainly, the Kingdom of Ernesia had no disputes with us.”
The other representatives of the different races also spoke as if they liked his answer.
Phew…
Viscount Remen let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they seem to have some goodwill towards Ernesia Kingdom.
If so, it seems to be the level of recognition that he is a little better than other humans, but that must be a big advantage.
“Well, wait a minute anyway.
She will be back soon.”
“that?????? woman?”
Remen seems to be puzzled as he is the highest ranking member of the Round Table.
I glanced at the largest throne.
The throne is still empty.
He’s not so ignorant that he doesn’t know whose place it is.
“Are you coming?”
“of course. It is also her order to call you here.”
Queen of Kelly.
It meant that she had something to say directly to the messenger from the kingdom of Ernesia.
Remen prepared herself mentally and waited.
After a while.
I heard signs of someone approaching from outside.
The queen appeared in person with the ladies-in-waiting to serve her.
‘The heroine who unified the different races…
Until now, the queen of Kelia has not been officially active.
At best, it was intelligence that he personally commanded the army during the war between Kelia and the former Zelnian kingdom.
No one has seen it in person yet.
It is said that the queen has never personally greeted a lion in another country.
While I am thinking about various things, the ladies-in-waiting come and look at the place first.
It seems that the ladies-in-waiting also have people from various races, as if they were all selected from different races.
And finally the queen appeared.
‘…Um, unexpectedly.’
Remen looked at the queen inwardly and had a slightly unexpected impression.
There was also a rumor that the queen was a heroine with a body that could overwhelm other races.
However, the person who appeared unexpectedly
was only slightly taller than a human woman.
It was hard to believe that he was the person who subdued all the different races who were holding weight at the round table.
‘Are you an elf? Or a different race?’
Her face and hair were covered with a veil, so it was impossible to tell what race she was.
“…is it surprising? If you imagined a great monster, I’m really sorry to disappoint you.”
The reason why Remen flinched was because the woman called the queen looked at him and said that.
“Never… it wasn’t like that.”
“Hmm, is that so? It’s normal for everyone to think it’s strange when they see me for the first time.”
“That?… that??????
It’s a big deal.
Could it be that you offended her here?
If that’s the case, I have no face when I return home and see His Majesty.
Let’s get Remen stumped.
“Hetia, do that. Anyway, that’s too much of a joke.”
Unexpectedly, it was the representative of the Dwarves who criticized her.
“Surprisingly? I thought you would say something like this.”
“…What do you view dwarves as? Do we even know how to be polite?
Is it true that you are skinny?”
“…You’ll see me separately later.”
I don’t know what kind of expression the queen is making, but for some reason the tone of her voice has changed from before.
What should I say? Should I say there is no hesitation?
Or should I say that it is nature?
It’s not that I don’t have any experience. It was
so different from the queen I imagined
. It’s been a long time since I met an envoy from a foreign country. I tried to set the mood like the others, but didn’t I ruin everything?”
The Queen pretended to droop her shoulders.
It looks like a genuine disappointment.
Seeing this in a daze, the queen smiled bitterly and begged for forgiveness.
“Oh, excuse me. Yes, please forgive the battlefield crisis. Well, it’s the first time I’ve ever met a god of death, so I was a bit playful, right?”
“Ah… no.”
“Well, again, let me tell you my name. I am the Queen of Kelly. Hetia Loa Jewirenros. It must be me who put all these idiots in this seat.”
“What a jerk!”
“In the first place, that guy hasn’t yet been shown in front of the envoy from another country!”
“That’s it! What will humans think of us!”
“By the way, I objected.”
“Do you know who agreed?”
The originality of the representatives of the different races continued.
It was truly astonishing.
Incidentally, the representative of the elves is holding his head, perhaps tired of the queen’s bottomless attitude.
If I’m not mistaken, her lips seemed to be muttering ‘You bastards…’.
It must be an illusion.
Still, isn’t the former queen of the elven kingdom?
There’s no way she would have said that.
Remen thought of the Ernesian nobles he knew.
At least, there was a difference between the nobles’ council in the kingdom and the atmosphere here.
There was a theory going around that the queen might have subjugated the different races with her overwhelming strength and spirit.
I thought that the theory would at least break sooner or later.
“…Well, like that. You…
“My name is Remen Senelstel.”
“ah. yes Remen. Well, first of all, it took a lot of hard work to come a long way. I already got the report. You said you brought a ‘gift’ for us, right? It’s really hard.”
“That’s right. It’s a bit late, but it’s a small greeting from us, looking forward to the founding of Kellya and our future relationship.”
“Greetings. that’s good At least the kingdom of Ernesia will be able to speak.”
“yes?”
“ah? No big deal. So what is a gift…? huh?”
Instead, the answer was the lady-in-waiting of the queen.
The Lizardman, dressed in a maid’s uniform that could have been twice the size of Lemen, slowly lowered his head and spoke into the Queen’s ear.
“ah! yes alcohol? Ohhh! that’s good!
very good!”
As soon as I heard the word alcohol, I could feel the excitement in her voice.
As expected, is it true that you can’t use your feet when it comes to alcohol?
“I look forward to that. I heard that there are quite a few delicacies in Ernesia Kingdom. Could it be that even alcohol is a delicacy?”
“…This is a new development in our kingdom. The quality is such that even our Majesty is very satisfied.
I’m sure it won’t go against the Queen’s expectations.”
“That’s more to look forward to! no!
You should try it here once!
ruler! What are you doing? Bring it quickly!”
As the queen asks, the ladies-in-waiting silently bow their heads and move about busily.
Rather than being a representative of a country, he has the attitude of a child who is very excited about receiving a gift.
After a while, instead of documents discussing state affairs, a bottle of liquor sent as a gift from Ernesia Kingdom was placed on the round table.
“Ohhhh! What a variety! It’s just things I’ve never seen before!”
“…Can it be that there are so many different things?”
“Um… is this a shipper? No, it seems to be less than that, but the scent is unique.”
When the alcohol was served, not only the queen but also each representative showed a sneaky interest.
This was a completely different scene from the royal meeting in the kingdom.
.. In the first place, it should be rare to open and taste the gift brought by the death god on the spot.
Each representative, including the queen, did not stop looking at the sake served with interest, but began to taste it.
And admiration flowed out without fail.
“Definitely a taste like you’ve never tasted anywhere else!”
“I used to be disappointed after drinking beer and wine from humans. What is this? I can’t believe it’s the same beer and wine.”
“Is this fruit wine? I like the flavor.”
“…Isn’t there a side dish over there?”
As if they had already forgotten the existence of Remen, they are busy evaluating the liquor.
The queen also tasted other drinks, as if she had found a drink she liked, and eventually pulled out a bottle and began to drink it herself, regardless of the ladies-in-waiting.
I know it’s quite strong alcohol, but even though I drink it in a hurry, there is no change in my voice at all.
“What is this?!”
“Ah… it must be… distilled soju.”
“I’ve never seen it in a human market?! Since when did you sell something like this?!”
“This is an item that has not yet been released to merchants. However, it is said that it will be sold to other countries in the near future.”
The queen said something that bothered her a little, but for now, she answered as she knew.
The Queen’s sudden behavior is embarrassing, but it’s true that she likes this gift.
After answering in a friendly manner, the queen nodded in satisfaction as if she liked it.
“Do you like it?”
“I see. Of all the presents I’ve received, I can say it’s by far the best.”
Remen felt relieved at the queen’s satisfied response.
It must be familiar to return to this and see His Majesty.
