The next day.

Both factions are busy moving to reach a conclusion.

“Haha! Your schemes are always impetuous. You must have seen the Emperor's absurd face. ”

Today, the Grand Duke summons the late Wallace as if he were in a very good mood.

“Actually, our side has some losses, but for now, it's more important to separate Mareus and the First Prince for the future. ”

“Yes, the construction itself is not bad for them, so they'll have to accept it! ”

In fact, it was not a big loss for the Duke to raise funds this time. Wallace, who owns the Empire's top mercenaries, is on the side of helping the Duke.

Considering Mareus' fall from the Emperor's side, this time their loss was bird's blood.

No matter how much I think about it, this road construction is an absolute victory for the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke was extremely satisfied with the results.

Meanwhile.

“Well, that's good. Goodbye."

“I beg your pardon?”

“They're willing to pay you to develop a land that will become the foundation of our forces. Why bother?" ”

Yurius asks you to go to Mareus with a look on his face.

“But Your Majesty……. If I leave. ”

“It's true that there is no one else but you, and Avamar will finally give the order, won't he? ”

“Hmm……. ”

Mareus groans.

Obviously, rejecting him didn't solve anything.

A massive construction for one prince's education and the future of the empire! In fact, there was no need to compare.

Even the people of the Emperor's side are somewhat reluctant to borrow Mareus, but in the end it's a profitable business for them. Even if he wants to silence his faction, it's only right that he go.

He opens his mouth again with a cautious look.

“And this will certainly harden Wallace's heart. Without any other funding from the Grand Duke, there's no way he could have gone that far! ”

“So did you recognize the other merchant guild you mentioned before? ”

“I was just about to tell you that story. ”

Mareus begins to explain.

“Among the merchants from the east recently, the Blue Dragon Merchant Guild is strong in finance and interested in investing here. First of all, we're trying to get under contact with the top. ”

Yurius rejoices inside. If he had found the wrong place, he would have had to do more unnecessary work.

‘I knew Mareus' eyes were clear. I can't believe you picked that place at once! ’

The Blue Dragon Merchant Guild, the only unified country in the east, is not so big now, but it was a place where chaos would grow into the top of the continent after a decade.

‘Besides, the merchant owner is a very scary man. ’

Yurius recalls his past life and calls to his senses.

“If you've chosen a good merchant, how about making a big deal with you this time? ”

The materials needed for road construction ranged from the most basic stone to the tools used by the workers, to the food. Perhaps many merchants will run without missing this fox.

Giving privilege to one or two merchants is easier than being a total head.

In a way, it was Yurius' idea that this road construction might be a good opportunity to defeat Wallace slowly.

“Instead, we must secretly apply to keep the old fox out of sight. ”

“Of course.”

The next day.

The battle council finally decided.

As Urius expected, the Emperor's decision is swift.

“Administrative Secretary Mareus, head of the General, to carry out road construction on the north side of the Empire! ”

Whose orders can we delay?

As soon as the Emperor's orders are issued, everything is done quickly.

An enormous amount of funds collected from the wealthy nobles of the south was transported to the capital, and the construction plans were meticulous with the cities in the middle of the north.

Mareus and other bureaucrats began working late that night on the most efficient routes for northern development.

“Building in a straight line would be more efficient, even if there are some mountain ranges involved. ”

“Nonsense! The North is full of bandits and Barbarians! Even if it takes a long time to find the safest path.... ”

“But if you turn around, the construction period will be too slow! ”

Even Yurius was unable to see Mareus' face for months due to discussions that continued day and night.

And the day has finally come when Mareus departs for the north to lead the road construction.

Today is the day Mareus comes to say goodbye.

Yurius looks disappointed and walks him out.

“Sometimes you take a vacation and go play in the capital. ”

Mareus glances at Yurius with a wrinkled face.

‘Now that I think about it, it's been a long time. ’

He's been dedicated to his education since Yurius was six. He was like a nanny who took care of his father for almost a decade.

“Construction is expected to last about four years. Even without this old man, I trust His Majesty will do well! ”

“Don't say that. I still need you as a child. ”

Yurius gives Mareus a big hug and a final greeting.

“Have a good trip. It will be difficult without you, but I will try my best. ”

Mareus' eyes blush slightly as he feels the warm Yurius' body temperature.

“Then, Your Majesty, I hope you can rest assured. ”

Mareus bows deeply and leaves.

After seeing him completely out of sight, Yurius smiles slowly with a disappointing expression.

‘I can only use this to restore my strength. ’

In fact, Mareus did not reveal the secret of regrets, even though Mareus gave his comfort. Of course, a certain amount of education as the Crown Prince was necessary, and even his time now was a waste.

Of course, it was quite disappointing for him to leave Mareus, but talent had to be put in the right place.

‘I'm very sorry, but I need your ability now, not your nagging. ’

It may not have been the intention, but the Grand Duke's misunderstanding has allowed Mareus to assist him in his best position.

From ordinary citizens to competent bureaucrats, everyone in the Empire now only thinks the north is a land of ignorant Barbarians.

‘People still do not know the frightening potential of the North. ’

Yurius knew that the North would be united by one powerful monarch in the coming years.

[Northern Mountain King Nua!]

One of the monarchs who impressed him the most in his past life.

He was also one of his most powerful allies against the Southern aristocrats.

It was originally a fate to think about when the development of the northern region was being pursued many years later, but there is no reason not to meet the airman who penetrates the roads.

‘If you can get out of the Imperial Palace, your first activity should start in the north. ’

The North is a world of strong warriors who respect only the strong!

His current strength still makes it difficult to think of an alliance with Nooda.

With four years of planning in mind, Yurius' head begins to spin.

The next day.

After Mareus left, he took over as Yurius' successor was Earl Wallace, the Emperor's second in command.

“You heard Lord Haynes, didn't you? I think swordsmanship is more appropriate than hard studying. ”

“Haha, Your Majesty. However, Caesarean studies is also a must-have part of becoming an emperor. Don't forget to ask Lord Mareus. ”

“You've done enough already! Come on, do me a favor. Unlike Mareus, you'll always be on my side, won't you? ”

Wallace nods as if he had no choice.

“How could I refuse you to even ask? But you also have to do something else properly. ”

‘Since the old man is no more, where will the manners of the First Imperial Court go? ’

Wallace smiled at Amri and greatly adjusted Yurius' curriculum.

"In the words of Player Sharnos, [pen is stronger than sword]! ’

With all due respect, what can an emperor do with a sword?

The empire was a country that favored outstanding UAVs, but force was not so important to the emperor.

Wallace was going to give Yurius the generous support he needed to work hard on 'knight-only'.

Elixir to relieve fatigue after intensive training! Pure Poststones increase your Circles' Force buildup! It will create the best conditions for you to do at the best dance on the continent.

Of course, these treasures are hard to come by with dazzling funding, but they are never hard to come by for Wallace.

"King Yurius, please focus on your training!" ’

From a few weeks after Mareus disappeared from the Imperial Palace, the assessment of the first prince was not as popular as before, but changed to another rumor.

‘1 The prince has no interest in academics such as politics or genealogy, and has been wielding his sword all day long like an unmanned man! ’
