âRecently, a huge amount of material is moving in the World Federation.â
[The flow of funds is also suspicious. It seems that they are investing at least as much budget as when they were in the peacekeeping force or potion business.]
Each of the seven clans.
From domain to business field.
It was not easy to connect as everything was separate.
It was for this reason that the princesses decided on agreements at the Chilryong Branch.
However, it is not possible to open the Seven Dragons branch whenever trivial information is shared or when there is a simple matter.
Especially since the establishment of the World Federation, it was all the more so as more and more minor exchanges were needed to keep them in check.
So it was.
A person who has the authority to replace the princess.
In other words, the reason why the aides had separate seats.
At first, whenever each of them needed it, they only lightly communicated with each otherâs aides.
But as much as the contact is frequent.
Iâm looking for efficiency.
The result is this exchange meeting.
It was a place for aides to gather separately to share information and exchange opinions.
If I had to compare it, it was similar to pre-negotiations between diplomats on behalf of the head of state.
âIf the World Federation is plotting something new, we need to prepare a response as well.â
[Tata thinks so too.]
âIn that sense, I would like to know the current situation of each clan in more detailâ¦â
[Hmm, our situation is still a bit complicated. I donât think Iâll be able to afford it for a while until the African Union settles down.]
Actually, the effect was good.
The aide is the highest practitioner of each clan.
Just by sharing information among themselves, the busy princesses were able to make some time.
[If you can afford it, you are the genius of the Red Dragon clan.]
â¦Of course, there was no guarantee that all the information coming and going here was the truth.
[What do you mean by that? Mr. Ellis.]
[It means that even if the military doesnât have enough energy, there will be enough room to provide food and energy 10% cheaper than now.] [
Apopisâ situation isnât that generous eitherâ¦]
[ Thatâs strange. According to my calculations, the production volume should have increased with the peace special?]
[Maybe I miscalculated?] Pointing out that
providing food and energy to other clans at a cheaper price would give them more power and make it easier to respond to the World Federation. Alice.
Nadia protests that she cannot afford to do so since the damage she has already suffered from the peacekeepers has not been restored.
[Canât we increase the production of nectar more than that? Calculatedly, even if the supply is increased by only 200%, the power of the World Federation can be reduced by 13%.]
[Donât joke. Do you think making nectar is easy?]
[Rather than that, is Bahamut going to keep rising prices forever? The aftermath of the revolution must have already been over.]
Kana asks for nectar.
Arbella firmly refuses.
Conversely, Barbara et al.
Lucas put on a distraught expression as he listened to the conversation of his close aides, whose sincerity was hard to understand because either way had a point.
In this exchange, the interests of each clan are intertwined. It
was more like
diplomacy⦠no, spying, rather than exchange, in that they could lie as much as they wanted for their own clan .
Even among the blue dragon clan, he could not be comfortable in a position like this.
But this is also a side job.
for the beloved princess.
Distinguish authenticity of information.
making demands to benefit.
He continued to communicate.
And the more we talked like that, the more the topic went in one direction.
âAre you still investigating the legacy of the Dark Dawn, Swordsman?â
[The counter-revolutionary army is more than 90% likely to be the culprit, but we havenât caught their tail yet.]
[Thatâs a pityâ¦]
Swordsmith Limon Asfelder.
Originally a nemesis of the Seven Dragons.
But now, in the opposite sense, Lucas sighed as he remembered the man who had become a key figure in the Seven Dragons.
After Limon went to investigate earlier.
How much did Rose miss you?
For him who remembered that scene, it was just a pity that Limon was tied up with other things.
And that wasnât enough.
[The swordsmithâs help has not yet yielded results, so it seems that Okrana and the KGBâs prestige is not what it used to be.] [â¦Are you saying that the
failure to find the legacy of the Dark Dawn is 100% due to our clanâs incompetence?]
[ Not up to 100%. Itâs just that if the place where the heritage was located was in North America, our princess would have found it a long time ago
.
When Kanaâs eyes widened sharply at Eliseâs arrogant words.
Nadia muttered too.
[Umm, I donât know why Princess White Dragon is with the swordsmith if itâs taking this longâ¦] [â¦
From Tataâs ears, it seems that our princess is deliberately delaying the investigation.] [
Ah! It doesnât mean that. I just wondered if my princess could have finished the investigation sooner if she had gone with the swordsman.] [
Normally, we donât call it an investigation to burn random suspects.]
[Why? It doesnât matter if youâre a criminal anyway, right?]
Itâs Jung-gu Heating.
A lot of opinions come and go.
Lucas felt a headache amidst the accusations, mainly from Yekathrice and Ainsha, who are now with Limon.
I can understand.
These people in this position are close friends.
Are you only acting for the princess?
It was also natural for each princess to keep the other princesses in check.
âFix all of you.â
So, with a more serious face.
Lucas said to his entourage gathered here.
âWe understand your loyalty, but our job is not to unconditionally support the princess.â
An aide is not a behemoth that follows the princess unconditionally.
Rather the opposite, to put it bluntly.
If the princess goes berserk or makes a wrong decision due to the incomplete dragon blood.
Their role as a brake to stop such a princess, even at the risk of their own lives, was their most important duty and right.
Thatâs why the entourage was given enormous authority that surpassed even the elders.
And it was the same in this situation where the princesses were fighting over Limon.
âIndiscriminate fighting only leads to co-destruction in the end. Do not forget that now we must do our best to cooperate with each other.â
In the first place, it was impossible for any clan to give up Limon even for the sake of the eighth dragon psionic.
However, expecting princesses who have inherited the dragonâs monopoly desire to yield Limon to other princesses is excessive.
So what matters is their work.
Whether you appease the princess you serve.
Persuade with words and logic.
whether to rebel
Somehow to prevent the princessâ quarrel over Limon from turning into a war.
They say that it is for the princess and their purpose to make it possible for them to maintain an amicable relationship with each other.
Seeing Lucas talking seriously, Elise nodded.
[I think so too.]
âThank you for agreeing.â
[No thank you. I just said the right thing was right.]
Watching Lucas put on a more comfortable expression at that statement.
Ellis smiled.
[So donât worry.]
[�]
[If youâre my princess, even if you monopolize the swordsmithâs heart, youâll be generous to others.]
Quick.
In the end, it will be Charlotte who becomes Limonâs bride.
Even if that happens, it would be better to prepare in advance so that other princesses will not be blinded by jealousy and commit rash acts.
Looking at Alice, who speaks calmly.
Arbella had a band of blood on her forehead.
[President of the United States of America. You seem to have forgotten, but it is our princess who has been recognized as the swordsmanâs bride now.] [Itâs
common to wander until you find true love.]
[Does that mean our princess is a toy for the swordsmanâs night?]
[In the end, it is the instinct of all creatures to find the most perfect mate.]
[Uh hmm. I think people who are a little clumsy are cuterâ¦.]
[Many men feel uncomfortable with women who are too perfect statistically.]
ââ¦.â
Truly a mess.
He said that his own princess would be a good match for a swordsman.
Listening to the conversation of his close associates who were convinced, Lucas put on a mysterious expression.
âwhy?â
Ellis is versatile enough to be called âall-roundâ and is also good at politics.
I couldnât figure out why she deliberately set fire to the atmosphere that was just about to subside.
Well, the reason was that it was good.
Just looking at this situation, you can tell that it was impossible to put a brake on the princessesâ fights by cooperating with their aides.
So he prayed with a sigh.
I hope the princesses will protect the opposite sex.
What if the princesses, blinded by jealousy after being swayed by the lust for monopoly, end up quarreling?
The Seven Dragons will shatter and self-destruct before fighting the World Federation.

ââ¦Brother. I have a question for you.â
âIâm curious about something.â
âWe were working separately until yesterday, right? That way, it will be easier to contact them from there.â
âThatâs right.â
The work of the conveyor belt started to become boring because I was not used to it.
Rin asked in a low voice to the expressionless white-haired girl sitting next to him.
âThen why did the arrangement suddenly change?â
âMaybe itâs a coincidence.â
âI guess so.â
Lin sighed.
The only thing disguised as expressionless is the face.
In fact, it was because I could tell just by looking at those eyes full of mischievous mischief.
âDo you want to tease your brother that much?â
âCanât you help it? It was because he volunteered to investigate.â
âHe must not have known that you would cling to me so quickly as soon as he left.â
âDonât be so heartless, because this is all for him.â
âCover your twitching lips and say those words.â
Whether or not Rin clicked his tongue as he looked at her easy-going figure, intending to show her flirting with a short prison guard.
Elshar pretended to be blunt and spoke happily.
âAnyway, arenât you looking forward to it, sister?â
âwhat?â
âI mean the investigation. What will the child bring?â
ââ¦Iâm asking for confirmation. What do you mean by that expectation?â
âOf course, both.â
If I bring about plausible results, I will be glad to see my younger brother elated.
If you donât get any results, you can comfort your sullen little brother.
What could be more enjoyable than this?
I was shaking my head excitedly watching Elshar talking softly.
Lynn hesitated.
ââ¦Elshar.â
âYeah I know.â
With the same strange face.
Elshar slowly reached out his hand.
Then, I picked up an object among the parts that were being carried on the conveyor belt.
âUnnie, what does this look like?â
Wrongly made parts.
Looking at the small slip of paper folded several times secretly stuck inside.
Lynn muttered quietly.
âDid you finally take the bait?â
