Plop.

I heard something falling in the quiet conference room between conversations.

When the nobles turned toward the sound, the Second Prince who sitting at the top was silently picking up the minutes of the meeting that had been dropped to the ground.

"Florentia?"

At the completely unexpected name, Emperor Jovanes raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Gallahan's daughter..., she is the childhood friend of the Second Prince."

Once again, the eyes that had shifted to the Emperor turned to Perez.

As always, the Second Crown Prince silently received the gaze with a mask-like face.

"That's right, that kid."

"But it's not Gallahan? Are you saying you're going to put that girl in charge?"

The Emperor asked curiously.

The same was true of the nobles.

But Lulak answered without embarrassment because he was already expecting such a response.

"Clerivan Pellet of Pellet Corporation, who now has a large supply of Triva wood, is a teacher who has taught Florentia for a long time. My granddaughter acts as a bridge between Lombardy and Pellet."

"Even so... Hmm..."

Despite his explanation, Jovanes' continued frowning made Lulak feel uncomfortable at heartily.

He'll spend his money helping the North with his granddaughter.

He doesn't know what's wrong with Lulak.

In addition, the Emperor should have opened the treasury and settled the matter.

However, knowing that Jovanes is as stingy as the nobles gathered here to spend her own money, Lulak did it himself.

In terms of temperament, a grumpy desire to cancel everything and save money arose, but Lulak endured it thinking of Tia.

Lulak hid his disapproving expression and told the crowd.

"My granddaughter is young, but she's smart enough to invoke in Lombardy's main business. This Lombardy delivery business is also her work."

"Oh, the delivery business!"

"The business was Gallahan's daughter's!"(I don't like how they treat Tia as ONLY 'Gallahan's daughter's)3

Fortunately, there was an explosive reaction among the nobles.

All of them visited the delivery business briefing at least once.

The corners of Lulak's mouth crept up without anyone knowing.

His shoulders naturally shrugged, and his nose slightly raised.

"Sure Lombardy! Not only the children, but the grandchildren are wonderful!"

"We don't have any worries because of Lord of Lombardy!"

The atmosphere of the conference hall, which had been rigidly stiff, was loosened for a moment.

Lulak also smiled and nodded secretly because he didn't hate the reaction of those praising his granddaughter.

"Hmm."

In the middle of that amicable moment, Emperor Jovanes could not smile as comfortably.

Obviously, the center of the conference hall is him, the Emperor, and before he knew it, the initiative of the atmosphere was transferred to Lombardy again.

In addition, Lulak Lombardy, who was elated for having a good afterthought, looked up.

Lombardy stepped up and gave it to him, so he can't standstill.

After a moment of agony, Emperor Jovanes hid his grumpy temper and said with a nice smile.

"The Imperial Family will send 5000 gold and relief goods to the North. And if you need anything else, I'm willing to send someone in charge of the Imperial Family with supplies."

The Imperial Family is in charge.

Whose name will be called, people are paying keen attention.

Jovanes' gaze was also busy sweeping the crowd.

He is choosing the appropriate personnel to be appointed as the person in charge.

Then, there was a young and strong voice.

"I'll go to North, Your Majesty."

It was Perez.

"I've traveled to the North for a long time, just like the East. I am well aware of the geography of the area, and I will do my best to facilitate the support on behalf of you."

"Oh..."

Jovanes' complexion brightened up.

Yes, there was a Second Prince.

Lulak Lombardy is proud of his granddaughter, but the Second Prince is his.

The Emperor grinned and said.

"Yes, that's very reliable! I'll order the Second Prince to be in charge of the Northern Relief Project. Take care of the North for me."

And as you can see, he skimmed the responses of the nobles.

"Yes, Your Majesty, leave it to me."

The eyes of the aristocrats who looked at the Second Prince politely bowed were quite to Jovanes' liking.

Surely the second prince was different from the First Prince.

No matter what he does, they were able to trust him because he was so smart.

It would have been better if he had been born by the Empress, not a maid of humble commoners.1

It was quite a shame that the obstacle is his origin that he couldn't overcome.

"Then let's move on to the next agenda. The next item on the agenda is..."

Emperor Jovanes, who was reading the list of agenda items posted by the chairman of the aristocratic council, spoke out.

Because it was an issue that he wanted to avoid.

“It is time to determine the cause of the landslide and determine the punishment, Your Majesty.”

In case Jovanes slipped over, Lulak quickly announced in a polite voice.

"A landslide is a natural disaster, but what can we do to find the cause? The important thing is to rebuild the North as soon as possible..."

"Please take a look at this."

Lulak Lombardy handed over some thin documents.

"What is this?"

"The reason there were so few human casualties from this landslide is that a geologist hired by the Pellet Corporation was investigating near the Northern mines, predicting the landslide in advance, and alerting Lord Ivan. It is a copy of the report."

"Is that... is that true,"

Jovanes asked deputy Lord Ivan.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I asked my father to confirm it."
