Chapter 142

The banquet held on the last day of National established Day gave us everything we could.

When Ran appeared at the midnight banquet under Eustaf's escort, everyone held their breath.

The milky hair sparkled and shone gold without gold, and the green eyes below it were as clear as if they were rimmed.

There were many beautiful people, but few people had the power of appearance along with charisma, as if the inner light were coming out.

And Ran was one of those rare people, and her figure was clearly imprinted on everyone with a shining Crown overhead.

Ran smiled slightly with red lips and looked back at them, and those who met eyes bowed their heads without realizing it.

There was a small sigh among the people as Eustaf led her lightly to the floor.

Eustaf also grew splendidly for today, so he didn't feel a bit behind Ran.

If anyone saw it, the king and wife of Rachia were a perfect match to ask if they had been chosen based on their appearance.

The violin performance began as if trembling in a hall filled with silence, and Ran and Eustaf began to dance.

Ran, who was very nervous, looked into Eustaf's eyes and soon felt the tension melt away.

Spinning smoothly and perfectly, the two danced the dublet. Ran looked at Eustaf in wonder.

After four words, people had to come into the floor to dance, but no one came in.

'Why?'

When I took my eyes off Eustaf, I could see that everyone was looking at this side as if they were possessed.

'Of course, my Eus is that great, but·······.'

It was not until the dance was over that the people standing around realized that they had even forgotten to go out to the floor in the middle.

Ran smiled and opened her mouth as the embarrassment spread.

"Now that I've demonstrated, why don't you dance for yourself?"

Then there was a small burst of laughter among the people, and the orchestra quickly began to play the same song one more time.

Only then did a man kick on the floor, and Ran and Eustaf danced one more song before they got off the floor.

The highlight of the night was fireworks.

The magic flame was fantastic. Ran expected that everyone would be used to this because there was a wizard. So I asked, "Shall we have a fireworks display in the evening?" But the maid all looked curious.

Thinking, "Is it because he is a duke without a wizard?" there was no fireworks at the Empire banquet.

Turns out it's almost impossible to get a wizard to do something for such entertainment.

'It's a wizard's pride. Well, that's why the magic work was sold.'

So Ran ambitiously planned the fireworks, and the magicians listened to Ran's explanation and created more wonderful fireworks than the actual fireworks.

After seeing the drawings brought by Frances, Ran made a slight impression, and France's eyes were about to pop out.

"No, how did you do with this?"

"Just because it came to my mind?"

"Just? Just? It's just going to work?"

"Yes, it's just."

Ran said so and drew one more artful drawing, and Frances opened his mouth wide. Ran grinned and said, "This is just too." He became serious.

"Would you mind teaching me that?"

"Are you going to continue as a wizard in our kingdom?"

Then Frances pulled out his pen and said, "I'll sign a permanent contract right now." Ran smiled and told him a little theory.

Frances, with a bright face, locked himself in his room to study some paper.

'That's how much magic works are, and it'll be no joke if the wizard finds out.'

Ran shook her head lightly with that thought.

Anyway, the result was now unfolding in front of me.

'Pretty.'

Ran looked at the flames that burst in the air and changed color and shape with colors.

Every time each burst, everyone exclaimed.

Since it is magic, there is no sound, but Ran also attached the sound because she thought that sound was important in fireworks.

The flame, which burst into a large red color, became a myriad of gold flames, and the powder sparkled and fell like rain.

It became a complex figure, such as a castle or a dragon, and even moved.

"How?"

When Ran whispered to Eustaf, Eustaf took his eyes off the flame and kissed Ran's lips.

"Beautiful."

"Everyone's watching."

As Ran's voice became lower, Eustaf laughed and whispered low.

"Everyone is busy watching the fireworks."

He pulled Ran's waist and kissed her more deeply, once again.

Inside the closed eyelids, there was also a glittering group of lights. When Ran barely finished kissing, he whispered in her ear.

"On the last day of the established ceremony, the king's ministry should not disappear first."

"No."

Ran speaks firmly with a red face, and Eustaf lightly flips her wet lips with his thumb and smiles.

"That's too bad."

He lowered his eyelashes slightly and said in a sweet, seductive voice.

"I had several plans to please Noonim-"

"You, you're the only one who does this."

"But-," Eustaf said lower as Ran protested in a squeezing voice.

"You enjoy more like this with your body-"

"-!"

Ran clapped her palm against his mouth. And I looked around surprised and looked around, and as Eustaf said, everyone was busy looking at the flames.

Eustaf laughed when he saw Ran's face as red as a boiled shrimp shell. He grabbed her by the wrist and bit the finger lightly.

"Are you sure you're not going?"

Ran said with her hand out.

"If you want to go, why don't you go first?"

After a beat, Ran quickly continued.

"From our bedroom veranda, I can see it well. Fireworks."

Eustaf blue eyes blinked, smiled, and said, "I'll go first then," and left the hall.

'Ni, nice.'

Ran clenched her fist.

'Now I've got a good sense of it, and I'm too-'

I was doing it, but Elise and I met eyes. Elise smiled significantly and Ran felt like she was burning all over.

'She's seen it all!'

If Elise saw it, there could be someone else besides Elise. A king who slips away after kissing. The queen who sneaks away after him.

'It's too obvious why.'

Ran couldn't move on the spot until the fireworks were finally over.

After the fireworks ended, Ran went back to her room after trying to soothe the atmosphere of the banquet hall.

Standing at the door connected to the couple's bedroom, Ran took a deep breath.

'What should I say. I promise my husband that I will go back early today, but I feel like his wife is late because of work....'

Thinking in vain, Lan slowly opened the door.

"Eus·······?"

I approached the bed with a slight name, but I couldn't see Eustaf.

"Eus?"

She walked out to the balcony, with Eustaf standing there. This side doesn't even look back.

Ran hesitated to approach and hugged him from behind.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I'm sorry."

Still, there was no answer, so Ran made frequent excuses.

"Well, I was captured by people. I couldn't help it. Huh? But I'm free now."

Ran then buried her face deep in his back.

"Please, just once. Yes?"

At Lan's murmur, Eustaf sighed and released Ran's arm around his waist.

"I didn't know it would feel like a single bride."

"What do you say! Why am I going to leave Eustaf?"

Eustaf smiled as Ran spoke with strength in her eyes.

"Heartily speaking. She won't come even if he wait, and he start pounding, then he get angry, then they're a little cold."

Ran pulled his belt with a charming smile.

"Sorry, I'll make it up to you tonight."

As she retorted and said, Eustaf asked back, "Is it a reward?" and was dragged as she pulled.

Ran pushed him to bed and Eustaf sat on the bed. Ran reached out to caress his cheek and spoke seriously.

"As long as my stamina permits?"

Eustaf smiled unconsciously when she said, frowning.

He spoke politely.

"Then let's give it a try and think about whether to forgive or not."

She snapped and pulled his belt loose. Ran said, pulling his belt straight.

"Then stick your hands out for now."

***

"I knew it. I thought I'd go out first."

Ran slouched over Eustaf's body and said. Eustaf smiled low and she asked, raising her head.

"Are your wrists okay?"

Eustaf showed me his wrist without saying a word, and Ran sighed and buried her head in his chest again.

"There's no trace of it."

"It's stronger than Ran."

"No, why is there a difference when we're the same human being."

"If I and Ran's physical strength is the same as mine, armed with armor and riding with Ran, that's a big deal."

"Not at all."

Ran said so and gave a tolerance and an upper body lift.

Eustaf reached out and swept her hair over. The cool thin hair gets tangled in my fingers. He liked the hair slipping on his body and the bed being messy.

His large hands followed the red marks on Ran's white neck. Ran's skin was soft, and his tongue seemed to melt down whenever he lifted it. When he recalled the feeling, he swallowed his saliva without realizing it.

His wife looked down at him naively with an eye that she didn't know.

Ran opened her mouth when Eustaf swept her smooth back, wondering if he could do it again.

"Eus."

"Yes."

"You know I love Eus most in the world, right?"

"I know, but I'd like you to tell me."

"I love Eustaf the most in the world."

Ran grinned and said.

"I love you, too."

Ran sighed softly at Eustaf's words.

"What's wrong with you?"

When he asked Ran, wrapping his other hand around her cheek, Ran said, rubbing his cheek.

"No, because of tax rights."

What do you mean tax rights in this atmosphere?

Eustaf thought so, and answered her with his fingers steadily.

"You're afraid they'll refuse?"

"That's it."

Ran was at a distance.

"Wouldn't you hurt your pride?"

The kingdom of Lazia decided to withdraw the tax rights originally imposed with the mountainous land and change them to the form of lowering the peak.

"It'll be all right. It's better to get a bonus than tax rights. Lazia is basically a poor territory."

"Not at all."

Ran laughed and rolled down from his body and lay side by side. Eustaf pulled the blanket over her and pressed her.

"And so is the northern harbor, and so is the top of Romia. I have a lot of work to do."

"The most important thing is to pick people."

"That's right."

Ran's eyes flashed after answering.

"Let's build a college."

"College?"

"Yes, like the Imperial Academy! But you're dealing with higher learning than that. Gather together and study as much as you want. The research fee is paid by the royal family of Lazia. Then we'll have famous people, then we'll have disciples, and then we'll have people-"

Ran drew a circle with both hands.

"There's a college town. a kingdom of learning Then the talent will naturally ······· Let's get a good catch. Oh, except for the aristocracy."

"That's an interesting idea. There must be something like that over there, right?"

"Yes."

Ran nodded her head.

"Let's sell ice crystal and snow sugar hard. We're going to start operating the top of Romia in earnest.... Do you prefer private investment in the northern port?"

"Ran."

Eustaf hugged her tightly and Ran looked up, "Huh?"

"It's a lot of work, grumbling, but it looks fun for you."

Ran grinned.

"I'am really bad at fighting. I feel like I've only been working for Eus lately, so I'm glad I'm doing what I can do."

When Ran was said, Eustaf kissed her on the forehead, saying, "Don't overdo it."

"Yes."

Ran nodded and closed her eyes.

"Diplomatic relations with empires and kingdoms will be important in the future...."

"I suppose so."

"Youth doesn't really care about that."

"I don't like politics."

"Yes, politics is meaningless to Lazia. But we'll need it from now on."

Asked Ran.

"Eus, do you know what's most important in politics?"

"Organ?"

"That's important, too."

Ran opened her eyes and smiled.

"The most important thing is to make a plate."

"No Doubt."

Eustaf laughed and whispered.

"Then I'll be the breaker."

Ran smiled and hugged him tightly at the remark.

"If you hold both the Ruler and the Breaker, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"And I'm a little reflective."

"Huh?"

As Ran approached, wondering, Eustaf changed his posture and climbed onto her body.

"Uh-Eus?"

Panicked Ran blinked, and he grabbed her by the wrist and fixed her, smiling round and round.

"I don't think it helped you sleep that much."

"Now, I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep."

"Yes, so I'll help you."

It's not sleep, it's fainting?

Ran struggled lightly, but she could not escape Eustaf's arms.

Eventually Ran fell asleep like a faint.

*******

It took only a year for the flag on the top of Romia to fly throughout the entire continent.

Other tops carried flags to the passengers and occasional mountain ranges, saying that they were not worth money.

In such a place, the word "top" was already changed to "Romia is coming."

The top of Romia was able to join anyone after a certain examination, and they were given bronze medals and small flags. Thanks to this, the prostitutes could easily join the top of Romia, and they went around selling cheap supplies.

However, it took considerable effort to get the iron, silver, and gold on top of it.

The gap in benefits was huge.

The same phrase was always written under the flag at the top of Romia.

The phrase, which Ran said was a catchphrase, spread throughout the country with flags, and when people wanted to buy something of high quality, they found the top of Romia.

The person carrying a neat mint-colored package was embarrassed by it alone.

"If you can, would it be better to ask a minstrel for a PPL or a CM head?"

When Ran murmured such an unknown story, her subordinates were nervous.

'How much more work are you going to make me do?'

Ran shook her head and said, "It would be better to take your time."

Everyone swept their hearts.

After frowning for a moment, Ran said.

"No, let's do PPL."

"Does, does that work?"

A total of five people have gold medals at the top of Romia. These were the figures of the branch office.

Main manager, part manager, branch manager.

It was divided into three stages and the bureau chief led the top of Romia in each country, and now it was a gathering of the bureau chiefs.

"So, when a minstrel walks around and talks, he puts our top of Romia in there. For example, if you get hurt and take out the medicine that you bought from the top of Romia...You can buy clothes and make them out of the fabric you bought from the top of Romia."

With puzzled faces, the bureau chiefs looked at each other and said,

"What's the use of that?"

"Of course there is. The image on the top of Romia is getting better. And they'd say, "Oh, I want to be like Lady in the story. Then should I buy the same fabric from the top of Romia? That's what happens."

Only then did they nod at Ran's explanation.

"The Bard has a guild, right? You'd better make a request over there. Let's pay the right amount to the minstrel who wants to."

Everyone nodded at Ran's words. Then the meeting ended after a comfortable exchange of views.
