The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

101 – {Only a trade}

{Only a trade}

After talking with Princess Louise, Theodore remembered the items he requested this time.

‘We impose a 3% tariff on our exports. On the contrary, tariffs on items from the Britannian Empire were raised to 18%.’

It was a very unfair condition, but considering the fact that the Britannian Empire had been taking unfair advantage against the Arkan Empire, this was a weak point.

In addition to that, the Britannia Empire would suffer a lot of damage from the development rights and profit distribution of numerous mines, and the Arkan Empire would benefit from many other things.

‘Not only the Duke of Skyroad, but also the Duke of Arsene’s business.’

While taking several business rights to his family, the Duke of Skyroad, he also secured a share for the Duke of Arsene, who would become his wife.

Yuria might feel burdened, but if she didn’t take care of her properly, she would rather talk behind her back.

She couldn’t let her gossip about her alienation.

‘And Yuria has a face problem.’

The rest was to be handed over to the emperor of the Arkan Empire.

If you do that, the emperor will know of some of the interests and distribute them in the form of a gift to the nobles of the Arkan Empire, including the Duke of Rurain.

“Wow, that’s great.”

“It seems difficult to approach.”

“But she’s really pretty.”

“That’s right. They say she’s the most beautiful woman in the Arkan Empire. She’s amazing.”

As Theodore’s footsteps approached the training room, he could hear the students of Minst Academy gathering and chatting in his ears.

‘As expected, they are driven.’

Yuria’s beauty always drew people to her.

Even if you look at it objectively, her beauty was perfect, as if she had concentrated all the blessings of this world.

‘Actually it is.’

Others would say it just figuratively, but Theodore knew that Yuria’s beauty was indeed connected with the blessings of the world.

In fact, there was a hidden story about the engagement between the Duke of Skyroad and the Duke of Arsene that even Duke Arsene, let alone Yuria, did not know about.

[Protect Yuria Arsane.]

‘Prophecy is something that cannot be underestimated.’

I don’t know about Yuria, but in fact he knew about her to some extent even before her engagement.

He didn’t know the woman Yuria Arsein as deeply as he does now, but through her prophecy, he knew that he must protect her.

Her father, the Duke of Skylord, knew that too, so he had betrothed her to himself, among other reasons.

‘This is what the prophecy says.’

It was an unexpected variable that her feelings would turn out like this.

But she couldn’t turn back.

I have already reached the point where I have to become a woman named Yuria Arsane.

Koogu Palace-

That’s why it bothered me to see the Minst Academy students blocking her way as they were distracted by Yuria and even blocked her in front of her training room.

“Heo Eok!”

“Te, Theodore Sky Road!”

The students who had been peeping at YuRia in the training room while blocking the front of the training room belatedly realized that he had come behind them due to the momentum that Theodore spewed out slightly and moved away.

Even in the training room, there were people who kept paying attention to Yuria as she was training, but even those people quickly turned their eyes to Theodore’s appearance.

‘It deserves attention.’

Theodore didn’t get angry at all of them.

They looked at Yuria and if she crossed the line, they would punish her.

And the image of YuRia wielding a sword in the training room would surely draw anyone’s attention.

She was a beautiful woman with dazzling silver hair and clear blue eyes that matched the expression that she looked like she was beautifully crafted with sapphire. She was wearing a white T-shirt and black leather hot pants, and was brandishing a sword.

It was a costume made with ease of movement in mind, and in fact, she could focus on fighting without worrying about anything in this outfit.

However, she couldn’t help but create a beautiful scenery that drew her attention as she trained intensively to the point of sweating.

“Oh, Theo.”

Then Yuria’s sword stopped moving.

Focusing only on her sword, she noticed Theodore and stopped her training.

And Theodore saw Yuria smiling at her as she looked at him, and she felt a strange feeling rise in her heart just by seeing the scene.

It started with her feeling that she was lovable, and then all sorts of thoughts about her spontaneously came to mind.

“Yuria, let’s go out soon.”

“Yes.”

Yuria did not have any doubts about Theodore’s words.

And Theodore could have just come along, but she dared to hold out her hand towards her.

Her As soon as she held her own hand, Theodore ran out of her training room with her.

“The chosen ones are…”

“Women are like that too. Keuheuk.”

I heard the lamentations of the students of Minst Academy full of envy.

However, Theodore did not intend to waste his mind on useless things to the extent of paying attention to them.

Her first priority was to tell her story.

“You can do it here.”

Theodore, who came to a place where people were rare, spread soundproofing magic lightly so that no sound leaked out, then he said.

“The story is over.”

“Yes. What kind of stories do you usually talk about?”

Yuria asked what Theodore had been talking about.

When Princess Louise came to talk to her now, her attitude was quite desperate, but by the way she looked, she could guess that something important was going on.

In particular, Theodore even received full power from the emperor of the Arkan Empire.

“You guessed it, it’s about a trade.”

“As expected, it’s a deal. Since Theo is the chosen one, do you want him to show off his close relationship with them?”

“Well, that’s what it is. I couldn’t wait for the floor, so now I’m in a hurry to see William’s face, which has fallen to an unknown depth to the bottom.”

At those words, Yuria slightly frowned.

“I don’t like it.”

“Which one?”

“It’s just their attitude.”

Yuria seemed genuinely dissatisfied with the attitude of the Britannian Empire.

It wasn’t just because she was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Arsane, one of the three major dukes of the Arkan Empire.

“In other words, they aren’t apologizing to Theo, but rather using Theo’s name value for their own benefit, aren’t they?”

“That’s right. And this side has something to get, so it was just a good deal after all.”

Apart from Yuria’s displeasure, Theodore didn’t care.

To be honest, she neither expected nor wanted them to apologize sincerely.

Even the conversation with Princess Louise was just a deal to get what each other wanted.

“I have to report to His Majesty soon.”

“Yes.”

Yuria also corrected her posture.

She was also a noble of the Arkan Empire.

I am well aware of the etiquette that should be provided at the moment of reporting to the emperor.

When Theodore politely knelt down in front of him while casting a video magic in the form of a square screen, Yuria also knelt down beside him and took a polite posture.

[Princess Sky Road and Princess Arsene.]

At the same time the voice of the emperor of the Arkan Empire was heard in the video, the emperor’s face appeared in the video.

“Meet Your Majesty, Emperor of the Arkhan Empire, Theodore Skylord, the heir to the Duke of Skylord.”

“Meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Arkan Empire, Yuria Arsane, the Grand Duchess of the Arsene Duchy.”

The emperor nodded towards the two who were bowing politely at the same time.

[Okay, both of you should raise your head. And, Young master of Skyroad, tell me quickly. I couldn’t wait to see how the story ended. hahahaha.]

Hearing the emperor laugh happily, Theodore raised his head and said,

“The Britannia Empire has decided to pay 18% tariffs when exporting goods to us. And we, the Arkan Empire, only pay 3% tariffs when exporting to the Britannia Empire.”

[Yes! Good news. Is there anything else?]

“Yes. I have brought many concessions, including mines in various regions. Besides the personal portion that will go to our families, many of them will be owned by His Majesty, so you can use them appropriately.”

[Mm! Okay. After all, it seems that you not only took the interests of the Duke of Skyroad, but also the interests of the Duke of Arsene?]

“Yes.”

Yuria raised her head with a slightly surprised expression at Theodore’s words.

But being in front of the emperor, she couldn’t speak first.

Theodore, who was close to the Emperor, put it simply, but unlike her father, the Duke of Arcein, or Theodore, she was not close to the Emperor.

[It’s true that he already takes care of his woman. hahahaha! It’s good that the guy who was so rigid and not funny seems to be having a little fun now! Yes, seeing the people of the Britannian Empire in a panic, my stomach feels relieved!]

Theodore nodded her head at the words of the emperor who was laughing happily.

“Sooner or later you’ll find something more comforting.”
