Chapter 39.1

Leshulean thought of Cassel.

“Although he’s the most outstanding.”

“Yes. Isn’t that why they are sponsoring him? Like identifying talents in advance and supporting them?”

“But there are limits to sponsorship.”

With that, Leshulean began to wonder.

“…Could Cassel be a leader of the Hyllan Merchants Association?”

“That’s not the case.”

Chelias shook his head.

“I see.”

In fact, if he had known that, he wouldn’t have let Cassel go to the battlefield willingly.

Leshulean furrowed his brow.

“The three of them are also a headache.”

He clutched his head.

Since the power of the three princes was so evenly matched, it was only a matter of time before a power struggle erupted. And amidst all this, Cassel was also on the rise. Originally, his illegitimacy would’ve made him nothing more than a figurehead even if he became a prince, but due to his skills, he was receiving more attention than the legitimate princes. That was why they had tried to place him under Lisseltz.

“I did a lot of bad things in my lifetime.”

A rebellion might occur.

He hoped such a thing wouldn’t happen after his death.

“Your Majesty did this.”

As Chelias spoke with blatant honesty, Leshulean pressed his lips tightly together.

After the news about the territory was spread in the newspapers, Cassel and Leilia left for the Balkan territory a week later.

Since there was no wrap, the group set off in fast-moving carriages with magical power and covered a considerable distance in one day. As they had avoided the habitats of monsters, nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

“Oh, that’s right. How about finding new sales opportunities through this event?”

If Lucis weren’t next to her and talking, it would feel like she was going on a leisure trip.

Upon hearing that they were heading to the Balkan territory, Lucis insisted on joining them. As summer passed and autumn approached, it was time for harvest, and there was plenty to do at the Hyllan association. They had to sell the harvested grains at a high price, so he was contemplating how to handle that.

“Should we try using models?”

His eyes widened at her words.

“What do you mean, a model?”

“We’ll choose popular nobles and get them to use our products exclusively. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to host a tasting event either. The wheat we’ve developed from this new breed is very delicious!”

“That’s true.”

After saying so, Leilia handed Cassel a new breed of wheat and bread made from it.

“Cassel, try it too.”

“All right.”

Since people might start suspecting her identity if Lucis and she were together, the three of them stayed together. After tasting the bread, Cassel was silent for a moment.

“What do you think?”

“It tastes similar to the bread we ate in the war.”

“That’s made from this wheat.”

“Did you give me wheat that hasn’t been sold?”

“This wheat tastes better, and it’s almost ready for commercialization now.”

In the end, it was revealed that very expensive wheat was given to the knights as supplies.

“Still, my subordinates always said that the bread they had on the battlefield was the most delicious.”

This secret was hidden.

“When will the tasting party be held? I’d like to participate as well.”

As Leilia glanced at Cassel at his words, he grinned as he noticed the unusual glint in her eyes.

“If you’re going to ask for a favor, please speak.”

“Is it really okay?”

“Yes.”

Upon receiving his simple approval, she quickly turned her attention to Lucis, who was sitting across from her, waiting for her to speak.

“Let’s use my husband as a model.”

“Hmm.”

“It would be great if my husband’s subordinates could join too.”

“That would be an excellent choice.”

She thought she would’ve to ask them first.

Leila talked to Lucis as they worked. In the meanwhile, the carriage came to a stop. It seemed that they were scheduled to have a meal here before proceeding to the next village.

“Then, I’ll go to the other carriage.”

Lucis quickly opened the door and got out. Leilia was also hungry and was about to step out, but Cassel quickly grabbed her hand.

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

He kissed her finger as she gazed at him beside her.

Her face flushed.

“Cassel?”

“Have you forgotten something?”

As he spoke as if he would be sad if she had truly forgotten, her heart wavered.

Leilia kissed his cheek.

“It’s not enough.”

Although he was disappointed, they had to eat, so the two of them got off the carriage together.

“I can’t believe there was influence from the Hyllan association here, too!”

Calia exclaimed as she followed Lucis.

Everyone was surprised when he offered to guide them to a restaurant chain funded by the Hyllan Merchants Association. Even in such a small city, the influence of the association was still at play.

“People tend to think that we only sell goods at Hyllan Association, but our business is more extensive than you think.”

Lucis responded proudly. His shoulders filled with pride for the association.
