Kerth, see that the letter is good.

It's been more than three months since I last wrote to you, and it's been more than a year since I last saw you. In the meantime, I haven't heard back from you, you guy, you don't want to go home in San Jose. The girl of San Jose is not more beautiful than Carman, and the red sun of San Jose is not more glorious than that of Sunset Mountain.

Well, knowing that you are studying at the Royal Academy of San Jose, you should be doing well, and I am sincerely happy for you. But your friend, I, Royce Mu, have had a very bad time lately.

Since the signing of the trade treaty between the Merchant Alliance and the Desik, the Merchant Alliance has demanded that Carman hand over a large amount of grain and sell it to the Desic Empire at a low price, and coupled with the loss and commission of the Merchant Alliance (Note 1), the Principality of Carman suffered heavy economic losses this year. You remember my sister, who fell ill shortly after my last letter to you, due to her busy state affairs.

So, I had no choice but to leave the Royal Capital College once again, away from my round tower laboratory and carved rosewood workbench, and give up my research work. Did you know that I, who am writing this letter, am the regent of the temporary Duchy of Kaman?

After being a regent for a while, I realized that my sister's life was not easy.

When we were in the academy, we used to comment on the politics of various countries, and we were young and vigorous, and we always thought that if we had the opportunity, we could do great things, but during this time, I found that even Kaman could not govern well. It seems that you choose to study at the Royal Academy of San Jose is the right path.

The situation on the mainland is changing day and night, and Carman has been under tremendous pressure in the Shangmeng for more than a year, and in fact we have almost become the scapegoats of the Shangmeng.

Two months ago, according to the news from the Adventurers' Guild, De Sik added six border guard regiments on the border of the Shang Alliance and opposite the Grand Canyon, and all the bulk grain purchased from the Shang Alliance was hoarded less than 100 miles from the Grand Canyon, where De Sik established a large turnover field.

Therefore, in order to cope with this incident, according to the request of the Chairman of the Manning City Business Alliance, the countries of the Business Alliance should complete the expansion plan of doubling the standing strength within three years. This request is very difficult for us Kaman, the finances of the Principality of Kaman are on the verge of collapse, the treasurer's hair is almost falling out, and the three things of compensation, the restoration of the royal capital, and the expansion of the army are about to crush us. Perhaps the final solution would be to deign to go to Manning and seek support from within the Business Alliance.

Treasurer, that old man, you probably haven't seen it before, that's the most interesting person among my ministers, it is said that he used to be the largest tequila wholesaler in the royal capital, and he was active on the Kaman-Manning trade route all the year round, and then he was somehow dug out by the previous Duke of Carman, and found out his family's former aristocratic bloodline, so this Carman businessman became the financial officer of Kaman.

We people in the royal capital say that the treasurer has a treasury in his hand, and he can continuously draw gold coins out of the country. However, looking at the treasurer's recent gray hair, his vault looks empty. You know, last year, I saw the financial officer holding three girls in his arms on the street of Wangdu, and now he has changed back to the image of a bad old man.

and my sister, Princess Mu, in my impression, she has always been a strong woman who is fierce and resolute, and has always governed the country in an orderly manner. Ever since my father lived in seclusion, there has been no one in Kaman who has not admired my sister. This time, I felt that she was really working hard, so I came back to help her, but I didn't expect that I would also fall into it.

However, there is still good news, after more than half a year of renovation, the two streets that were destroyed last time have been repaired, and all the old facilities have just been renovated, and those shops have also taken the opportunity to reopen.

Do you remember Bayi, the chubby casino owner, who also opened his new casino with a shop on a newly renovated street, and the business was very good. It's a pity that I can't just go there with my current status. But it doesn't matter, when are you coming back, let's sneak in and scare him, haha.

I have taken good care of your Kerst Manor, I heard that this year's harvest in the manor is quite abundant, so I will not be polite to you, and the taxes that should be collected must not be less.

Harvest, guess how I know, of course it was Lena who told me, hehe. Don't you know, your little maid, every time she writes to you, she will include a letter to me asking about your current situation. Since the last time you didn't say goodbye and abandoned Lianna in the royal capital, that little maid seems to distrust you very much, but fortunately, my brother Mu is here, and I am now her mouthpiece.

Seeing this, Chester couldn't help but burst out laughing, sure enough, it was Lianna's style, it seemed that the last time he left, he hurt Liana. It's no wonder that it was supposed to be a good double day, but she was left to go back alone.

Kester then looked down at the letter.

You know, Koester, I miss the days in your manor now, when I was a carefree noble young master, and I could do whatever I wanted, and where I was sitting here to write a letter to you, I had to ask the clerk for half a day's leave, otherwise, they would all wait for me to have a meeting.

Meeting, ah, what a headache, why is it that our little principality of Carman, with so many affairs to deal with, so many documents to review, can't the affairs officers handle these things?

I now understand why my sister hasn't gotten married to this day, she really doesn't have time. Otherwise, you have pity on my sister and marry her!

Xiao Mu was still full of grumbling as always, the whole three pages of parchment, almost all of them were commotion, as for the last sentence, he just sold her sister to Kester, and Kester couldn't help but smile bitterly. I'm sorry Xiao Mu, you're going to be beaten, your sister is the future Duchess of Carman, I'm just a little lord, besides, my heart is full of Feida.

Sure enough, the chattering Xiao Mu is the Xiao Mu in Kester's heart. After reading three pages of parchment, Chester suddenly realized that he was not finished, and there was still a piece of parchment, which was placed at the end, but it was rolled up in a ball. Kerst untied the knots from the parchment and continued reading.

Okay, I'm sorry for the above, the affairs officer has to send someone to check what is written above, in case I leak state secrets. Really. Who are you, they can be so suspicious of you!, well, but I'll listen to them anyway.

What about this one, I mean it's your family letter, so they didn't check it, you see the seal is still good, isn't your ring snake coat of arms very real, haha, tell you, this is what I carved with a radish!

Well, I'm going to ask a very personal question, which is, "Is Princess Lolita okay?"

Seeing the back, Kerst laughed, worthy of Xiao Mu.

It turned out that after this sentence, Xiao Mu covered all the words behind it with a piece of parchment, and a few big words were written on it, "Chester is not allowed to read it." ”

Knowing who the letter was for, Kerst got up and pushed the door open.

Lolita's magic moves into the realm quite quickly, and Mage Sytie sometimes says that Lolita is a natural magician. She knows more about magic than anyone else, and it may not be long before she can't teach her anything.

However, since the last time she returned from the palace, Lolita has not been in a good mood. Feida told Kester privately, but did not say why. Koster saw that the two of them had talked about something in private, but still didn't ask much.

Arriving at the door of Lolita's room, Kerst hesitated for a moment, but knocked lightly. After a long time, he finally heard a noise in the house, and after a while, a haggard Lolita opened the door.

"Scared, Lolita, what's wrong with you?" said Kester, startled.

"It's Koster, I'm fine, what's the matter with you?Feda is going out, are you looking for her?" Lolita stepped aside and prepared to let Koster in.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm not looking for Feida, I'm here to deliver a letter to you. ”

Lolita reached out and took the letter from Kerster's hand and asked, "Whose is it?"

Koster smiled evilly, "Guess?"

Lolita also smiled, "I need you to send it, I don't have many friends, I guess it's Mu Gongzi." ”

Kerst showed a look of admiration, "It's worthy of a princess." ”

Lolita accepted the letter, "Okay, I see, thank you Kerter." ”

Caster was actually very curious about the content of the letter, and he was too embarrassed to ask directly. But think about it, with Xiao Mu's person, what else can he do, most of them are just taking a fancy to Lolita. It's good, magician to magician, fit.

"Well, I'm leaving, Lolita. "Don't work too hard, you look haggard, let Feida take good care of you." ”

"Thank you for your concern, Kerth, I'm fine, it's just that practicing magic is a bit overdrawn. Lolita explained, "However, Feida doesn't know what's going on her mind lately, and keeps running out. You have time, can you watch her for me. ”

Kerst hurriedly agreed.

Feida, who has been wandering around Kyoto City for the past two days, has neither gone to the big library to play with Grandpa Kuta, nor has she accompanied Miss Lolita, and even the Royal Academy, she rarely visits. When Kerst found Feida in front of a "longevity fruit" stall next to the Emperor's Avenue, the girl was biting on the longevity fruit with a melancholy face, and it was crunching.

"Hey, Feida, your young lady has received Xiao Mu's letter again, why don't you go back and care about it. Koster quipped.

Who knew that Feida didn't react, and Kerter was a little depressed and didn't know what was wrong with Feida. He reached out and touched Feida's forehead, then withdrew it, "I'm not sick." ”

Feida slapped Kerth's hand, "Of course I'm not sick, I'm just having something on my mind." ”

"Oh, what's on your mind?" said Koster's eyes.

"Well, yes, it has to do with my background. Feida spoke in a low tone and was depressed.

Note 1: The Merchant Alliance demanded that Kaman provide a low price to compensate for the grain of the Desik Empire, and at the same time take a cut to make up for the loss on the road and the coordination costs of the Merchant Alliance. The seemingly unreasonable move is indeed what the business alliance has always demanded, so it is an alliance externally, and it is still an intrigue of countries internally.
