Seventeen-year-old, Spring Ahead, it's not as cold as it gets in this country yet, it was one day.

I was about to turn eighteen.

That day I watched the crates continue to be unloaded from sailboats bigger and more splendid than any other moored in the harbor of Wang Du.

It's a three-mast, the previous one has four horizontal sails, and the back two have vertical sails.

The contents of the crate were cotton.

Unspinned cotton becomes a garment or futon like a cotton-padded half-wrapped garment.

This seems to be the biggest hit product in Wangdu in recent years and is a complete seller's market.

Clearly, the amount of money that makes working seriously ridiculous is coming in as a profit.

I'm not talking about poppy on my wet hand.

Is this what monopolizing trade is all about? It feels like.

Perhaps this money will continue until the cotton oversupplies and the price collapses.

This is the second one, the first one is behind the second one, waiting to unload.

Accompanying ship.

The third ship is under construction in the Republic of Albio.

A year and a little after the start of the transaction by Harrol.

It quickly stretched so far.

Both the deal, which initially used Suomi's port, and the negotiation of preferential delivery rights for rare imports into weapons made Wangdu's port usable.

Sitting at the dock, I was puzzled by the fact that I saw two ships, all of them my own private property, and the cargo to be loaded and unloaded.

When I was in Japan, all I had was a dime, and I had never made a decent fortune, but before I started my business for less than a decade, I was a one-end business.

From right to left, he moves the kind of gold that life can buy more than once.

What is life? I also want to think about it.

There was no one at the dock, all but the sound of the waves was only distant hustle and bustle, a quiet place.

Maybe that's not usually the case, but with my ship coming in, port workers are busy unloading and I guess they don't have time to play.

Yuri Howe.

And there was a voice coming from my back.

When I rolled sideways, I pulled out my knife and set it up.

Look around you softly and quickly.

Not surrounded, one opponent.

One of them was a civilian girl with long hair tied to a ponytail.

My instincts were alarming because I reacted in a way that seemed excessive.

"Who?"

Ask questions in a sharp voice.

I had no footsteps at all.

I didn't know you wouldn't notice how many waves there were until you stood on your back.

If he's an assassin, how many hands?

You know, I'm not even up to it.

I wasn't even holding a weapon, and it didn't look any different than a normal common man at all.

That's creepy instead.

Perhaps you should jump into the river without worrying.

No, if you're better at swimming than I am, can you catch up?

Then it gets really stuffed.

"Why be vigilant"

The woman said wonderfully.

'Cause I didn't have footsteps.'

"Oh."

Looks like we've got something in common.

"Who is it? You're here to kill me."

"No."

He looks like he's out of his mind.

"I've come to call you to the royal castle."

……

"You, the royal liaison?

"It's like that."

"If you want to contact me, you can ask His Highness Carol. That's what I did before. Why do I have to rub you?"

If you follow a scarecrow and get kidnapped, you're a fool.

Besides, I don't know why you don't use Carol.

Until now, one patent call. I've been very passive about Carol.

More importantly, I don't like the fact that I can't hear footsteps.

"Her Majesty's immediate service. Come with me."

"Answer the question."

"That's a bad guess. I am the king's sword."

The king's sword.

It's part of the Kingsguard First Army, the inner tone and assassination group the Queen has.

Was he an assassin after all?

It leaps mainly when a general is rebellious, and goes to kill the head of that general.

If you ask me, it's a wet work unit for a royal family that doesn't use force to deal with civil unrest.

If you look at it from me in the general's house, you are a very sick opponent.

"The king's sword? I see. You mean Carol doesn't want to be present."

"Don't abandon Your Highness."

I don't know.

"Show me the king's sword."

The woman put out a short-knife of black sheath from her nostrils and pulled out her sheath halfway without sound.

The blade of the single blade inside is suspiciously glowing only in the polished area and the belly area is black as the coal has been stretched out.

Rumors match the king's sword and traits.

"It does look like a king's sword. If that's the case, let's try to accompany him."

I put the knife back in my sheath.

The woman walks out silently turning her back.

I'm going after it.

I just caught up, and I kicked the back of my knee quickly from behind.

In martial arts and short-knife training, kicking the back of your knees from behind, grabbing a collar or armor and dragging it down behind you, stabbing you in the neck or eating an iron hammer with your fist is a basic combination.

I was forced to practice so many times that I felt confident that the people there would not be impressed.

But the woman gently avoided a kick on her knees, and by flipping herself, she played a hand that grabbed her body and turned to this side.

"What are you going to do?"

And a harsh voice came home with cold eyes.

"Tried"

"Try the king's sword. You want to die."

"If you're a yakuza, you can't avoid that now. Wang Sword would avoid it. Your Majesty told me to bring you here, so you can't hurt me."

I told you before.

……

Cold eyes do not change.

"It's just a confirmation. Don't be so angry."

"Five bodies are ordered to be satisfied, don't you think?"

"If you don't think about friendship, you'll grab it while you're asleep"

If the Queen was trying to kidnap me, she would have used a more violent hand.

With this guy, I'm not supposed to keep talking like I am right now, and persuasion will stop me from being able to do it, and I'll be fighting hard to get me tied up.

It's a mystery why the Queen came to use the King's sword, but this mission should be irregular for this guy as well.

"... hmm"

The woman turned her back and walked out again, wondering if she could not come up with an objection or if it was a hassle to think.

The truth is, I wanted to see the king's sword and his strength.

That's the elite unit...... or just the assassination unit, whose strength seems to be origami.

How old are they, like, twenty to twenty-five?

Around Carol, you won't be able to keep up with him where he worked so hard.

I feel different from my talent in the first place.

Even women are strong.

Entering the royal castle from a place like the back entrance, she walked down the corridor where no one was, and the woman stopped in front of a certain room and opened the door.

The room was like a small reception, with thin curtains on the windows.

A splendid interior room, but no one inside, and it's cancer.

"Put it on."

That's what they told me, so I sat in the chair where I was instructed.

The chair is as fun as a sofa for one person and very soft.

In the middle with two legs next to each other, there was a square knee-length table, on which were tea tools.

And even if I sit down, the woman is about to be held back by the wall by the door, standing still.

I don't think I'm gonna sit down.

As it was, sitting for a while yawning, the door opened.

Her Majesty the Queen comes in alone.

In my hand, I have something like a Yakan with hot air standing up for some reason.

"In a good mood, Your Majesty."

I got up and bowed my head.

"I'm sorry for taking the time."

It returns a nickel and a smile.

Again, it's not a hostile atmosphere.

"No, because I was just sparing some time"

"It would help if you could say that. Call me."

Her Majesty sat in the chair in front of her.

Me too, I sat in my chair again.

"I haven't been asked about anything, is it an invitation to tea today or something?

Let's keep the exploration light.

The fact that I have pointed the king's sword at him is not very calm.

"No, you're not."

Seems different after all.

"So, what are you talking about?"

"Before we do that, let's make some tea"

Tea.

Is that why you had Yakan?

Her Majesty began to prepare herself for making tea, as she put it.

"Yuri-kun is interested in classics?

What are you talking about?

"I'm not very interested. I don't like Ancient Shan."

Due to the underdeveloped nature of publishing, the classical translation book is not anything other than a super famous place.

To study classics, mastery of ancient Shan language becomes mandatory.

So I'm not familiar with classics either.

"Once upon a time, we women had a technique about how to make tea."

Yeah.

"I didn't know"

Is that like a tea ceremony?

"Of course, as an upbringing. All noble women will do it."

"Really? I can't think about it right now."

Now, let them brew to a maid or something very normally.

In places like dormitories, where there is no dedicated small-time use, you may even boil and brew your own water, but there is no culture that noble women can make their own tea.

Even so, the noble woman I know is about satsuki.

"I brewed tea to entertain someone and screw with the knight's labor. You have a good method for making tea. But that kind of culture is gone with the end of the Great Empire. Instead, I don't know if I imitated it, but it seems to have started to fashion among the common people"

Come to think of it, Suzuya and others were bound to make tea when Luke got back from work.

I thought it was a Suzuya hobby, but maybe it had that kind of cultural background.

"I taught my mother, but this is only about our royal family. I wouldn't ask in a royal family."

I see.

Back in the day, when you called me when I was patenting, Carol made tea, so to speak, in accordance with the ancient law.

Though I thought it was kind of weird that royalty brewed their own tea.

His Majesty continues his words, manipulating tea utensils without sound.

"In the days of the Great Empire, you had that kind of relationship between men and women, witches and knights. Trust, something like that. I think that's why I was strong. I wonder why this is happening.

I didn't call you to talk about history.

Why are we talking about this?

Well, I'll go out with him.

"It must be because we lost. Lost the Great Khan of Kanjal, and destroyed the kingdom, so the knight lost his face, and neither the witch nor the king respected the knight."

The Grand Imperial Army was, at that time, a terribly strong army.

At the time, the world had a great empire uniting the Islamist world, the Xulxes Divine Guardian Empire, but we have met many times with the Great Expeditionary Army of this and have retreated without difficulty.

This is a draw into the cold regions of the north, so there is no denying that it was in the interest of the land, but it would still have been strong.

But at the end of the day, the hero of the horseback riding nation was struck by a great army.

A man named Kanjal, the son of no other war, came following an army that ranged from five to ten times the total army of the Empire, so he just couldn't resist this, and all the armies collapsed.

Kanjal was relieved or something, as soon as he won the meeting, he died, so the army pulled away, but the Crusaders came to take turns with it, grabbing the interests of the fishermen.

How badly did he get hit by the army in Kanjal, the Grand Imperial Army was unable to resist properly and deprived of a rich area of the southern strip, including the capital, Chantinion.

He wanted to treat the knight after that. No, he was scattered.

Both the king and the witch decided that it was the knight's fault that the country was doomed.

In other words, the country was doomed because of the weakness of the knight, even though there was no fall for any human other than the knight. It came to that.

In fact, they can still teach that in a lecture on the history of correctional institutions.

The knight of defeat was stoned, and his pride refracted.

It was not until this time that the knight appealed to the martial arts, naming himself a general with his own territory, and the king and the witch also had an army.

"Exactly. You've been studying a lot."

"Yeah, well."

If I hadn't known about this for eight years in the cavalry, I'd be an asshole.

Regardless of the way you understand it, it would be normal for you to have it as knowledge.

His Majesty dropped water from high places in the old Suzu.

I can hear the water filling in the sudden sudden as the air mixes with the copopo......

"So, a story is a story that has to do with it?

Maybe you're talking about how Carol and I got married?

"It's because of you. The time to wait for tea is a pleasure to chat with."

Chatter.

There was a lot of meaningful chatter.

Is this one of the tea practices?

"Excuse me. It's a country thing, I'm oblivious to the manipulation"

"It's okay. I thought you'd prefer to talk about history like this, but I guess I was bored."

Was it one of the hospitality?

I didn't notice at all.

"No, nothing like that"

"Really?"

"I just don't seem to be going very honestly because I'm afraid of what we're going to talk about."

When I said that, His Majesty laughed at Kus.

The laughing trick is just like Carol.

"Making your own tea is a welcome sign. Negiri, or a favor... In any case, I don't make tea when I call you to scold me."

"I was a little relieved to hear that. I'll enjoy my tea, too."

If you want to welcome me, don't give me the king's sword.

Not that I'm frightened and frightened, but the king's sword is usually pointed at the general house.

Let's be vigilant.

His Majesty manipulated Suzu and poured tea into a tea bowl with a handle.

"Yes, go ahead"

"I'll have it."

A teacup on a plate is offered.

Pinch the handle, lift it, and put your mouth on.

Along with the light bitterness, it smelled complex and gorgeous.

And through his throat, he lingers a honey-like flavor on his tongue.

Is it a kind of blend tea?

It tasted like nothing I've ever tasted before.

I don't know if tea is good or brewed, but it's very tasty.

"It's delicious. You calm down."

"Oh, thank you. I'd be happy to flatter you."

"I'm not flattered."

This is really delicious.

"Please replace me."

And His Majesty said as he suddenly did his hand.

"Oh, oh... hi"

When I did the teacup with the feeling of being exaggerated, he leaned suddenly and brewed the change.

"I also have tea contracts. Eat."

The small plates offered had some baked sweets on them.

"I'll take it."

And I get my hands on that baked treat, too.

I wasn't particularly hungry, but the baked sweets were delicious again, so I flattened them with puffiness.
