Chapter 150
TL: Zimming
I came out of the Imperial Palace and looked back at the chairman.
“Is there anyone from Dubbled in the prison?”
“Some executors supported Dubbled.”
“Tell them to take care of Linda. Give the inspectors some money as a bribe. Bring in more people as well. Until I finish the deal with the emperor, Linda shouldn’t get a scratch.”
“Yes.”
I got on the carriage and touched my forehead.
Fortunately, the budget that Linda swindled was Shuheil Territory.
So I was able to choose the Marquis of Shuheil as a sacrifice to get Johann out.
Actually, I planned to make the Marquis of Nodelli be imprisoned again, but the Nodelli family is already ruined to the point of being destroyed, so if this crime is added, they would be doomed.
‘If that happens, Nodelli will be vindictive and will never try to hold my hand.’
“Did you get permission for military training from the emperor?”
I nodded at the chairman’s question.
“Yes. He was astonished about suwon. Although there were cumbersome restrictions.”
“Restrictions?”
“We need to share the training with the Imperial Knights. The cost of strengthening the Imperial Knight will also be paid by us.”
“Anyway, the purpose was to frighten Marche and his followers, so there’s nothing wrong with it.”
There is a special law in the imperial palace.
Training is possible in the mansion or in the barracks owned by the family, but other than that, only authorized escorts can possess spears and swords.
However, if military training permits are granted, the entire troops can bear spears and sword anywhere.
In other words, even if I ordered my troops to attack a noble, they couldn’t do anything. They won’t be able to take on the entire Dubbled troops with a handful of authorized escorts.
Not only is it extremely difficult to obtain a training permit, but military training is prohibited in other families if there are already approved families.
“They must’ve thought that as a young child, I already have this much power. They will be more wary of me in the future.”
“But what are you going to do with suwon? Are you sure you want to hand it over to the Emperor?”
“No way.”
I looked at the chairman and raised the corners of my mouth.
“I said I found suwon, but I never said that I would give the refined suwon. Unrefined Suwon is just useless stones, right?”
The chairman laughed when he heard about what happened in the mine.
“The emperor won’t imagine that only nymphs can rit. But it’s weird.”
“What is?”
“In your previous life, the Nodelli family had distributed the suwon. How could they refine the stones of the Eston mine?”
“Maybe it’s because of Tesla.”
“Warrior Tesla?
“The nymph said so. Tesla created a fake one. If Nodelli and Marche have found Tesla’s fake suwon manufacturing method, that’s possible. By the way, why did Marche and Nodelli pursue the suwon project?”
The chairman, who had narrowed his eyes and pondered, raised his head.
“No way, Nodelli has a manufacturing method? How can you be sure of that?”
“It’s possible. We should check that out later.”
The Marquis of Nodelli will have no choice but to open his mouth if the fake Suwon manufacturing method becomes useless.
I clenched my fist.
‘Did I have enough divine power now?’
As soon as I came back, I couldn’t rest properly because of Johann, so I couldn’t recover the divine power as much as I wanted.
I squeezed the hem of my skirt.
I’m impatient. Henry and Isaac are surrounded by nymphs, and Johann has yet to be released. I couldn’t even check how my dad was doing on the battlefield. And Linda…….
“So Linda, I want you to go to the Imperial Palace…there…”
“I will go. Please report me.”
“Think carefully, I won’t force you. There’s a possibility I can’t bring you back.”
“I’ll trust you. I could just wait for you to pick me up. How easy is that?”
I looked out the window with a worried face.
***
When I came back to the mansion, my aunt was there.
Johann was arrested and my aunt ran around to save him in her own way.
My aunt has a title, but she couldn’t participate in the head nobles meeting as long as my father was there. All she could do was rely on her connection.
“Leblaine.”
“Aunt, I have to go back to the mine right now.”
“Why wou-”
“Henry and Isaac!”
I was in a hurry and interrupted my aunt’s words.
“I’m sorry, but they’re waiting. Surrounded by nymphs, they’re in danger!”
As I stomped my feet and spoke, my aunt grabbed my shoulder and narrowed her brow.
“Calm down.”
“…….”
“You tend to move alone. I’m guessing it’s because of your habit. But Leblaine.”
“…….”
“This isn’t your orphanage anymore. There are people you can lean on.”
Nos, Lea, and the Viscount Dubos came behind her.
Aunt continued in a steady voice.
“Tell me the situation. Maybe we can help you.”
Seeing my aunt’s clear eyes, I bit my lips.
‘I’m a fool.’
Why do I keep doing everything alone? I have many support and best allies, even if we quarrel a little.
“Eugene Nos.”
“Yes, Lady.”
“Nos, send your army to Eston’s mine right now. The nymphs at the Eston mine are so powerful and they’re hard to deal with. And…….”
I hung the seal my father gave me around my aunt’s neck.
“Aunt, please lead the troops with Lea. I got a military training permit from the emperor. Also, Sir Dubos, as soon as brother Johann is released, please help him attend the noble meeting on behalf of my father.”
Dubos nodded his head.
“Yes, Lady.”
I looked back at the people of Dubbled and said.
“From now on, I declare an emergency situation. We’ll protect this place until father returns.”
“I follow the lady command.”
When my aunt bent her knees first, everyone in the mansion followed suit.
“We’ll follow the orders!”
Nodding my head, I returned to the room with the chairman.
Before I went to see the nymphs again, I looked back at the chairman as I was getting the supplies I needed.
“Chairman, please support my aunt while I was away…… why do you look at me like that?”
The chairman was smiling faintly. I tilted my head as he replied,
“Did you know?”
“What?”
“The people in Dubbled started calling you a Lady.”
“Ah…….”
I was so used to being called a little miss, even though I’m no longer that young. When everyone in Dubbled started calling me a Lady, that means they regarded me as my father’s child, not a mere child of fate.
“But I don’t mind being called a little miss too.”
The tone was what mattered, before people used to call me that or a fake with a tone full of mockery.
But people in Dubbled called me a little miss with an affectionate tone.
They always called me kindly.
“I know that, but you look like a young lady now, rather than a little miss.”
“Yes.”
“You could protect people now, instead of being protected.”
“……you’re good at making embarrassing remarks.”
As I grumbled in embarrassment, the chairman bent his knees in front of me and kissed the back of my head.
“Have a safe trip, Lady.”
“Yes.”
I energetically use teleportation.
When I opened my eyes, I was already in Eston mine.
“Kid!”
“Leblaine.”
“A, adventurer.”
I walked bravely in front of the old nymph.
“Let’s make a deal. I’ll summon your master. Instead, you guys give me suwon.”
“We, won’t trade it!”
The nymphs shouted angrily.
“The second adventurer is a bad adventurer!”
“They do not follow God’s words. They desire the suwon. Trash!”
“Trash!”
The old nymph’s eyes were turning grim.
“A bad adventurer, not a servant of God. A human who is not a servant of God will not be sent back!”
Kaaa-!!
As the old nymph exposed his sharp teeth, I grabbed him by the collar. He was drawn to me in an instant and his eyes widened.
“Yes, I’m bad. Corrupt, very good at threatening life.”
“Our species is strong. Much more than the adventurer thought. Adventurer, you can’t kill us!”
I let go of the old nymph’s collar and pointed the dagger I took from my waist on my neck.
“If you don’t give up suwon, I’ll die!”
“……!”
The old nymph was taken aback.
“A, adventurer is an idiot?”
Other nymphs were confused by the bizarre sight of me threatening with my own life.
“If I die like this, who will summon your master? It’s been a thousand years since Tesla came. It may take longer for a third adventurer to appear.”
Of course I don’t intend to die. But it’ll work for the nymph.
The old nymph was flabbergasted.
I added with a vicious smile.
“But if you give me suwon, I will summon your master…”
I turned my bag as the content poured out,
“-I’ll give you peanuts!”
Henry, Isaac, and Zachary and Seto looked ashtonished.
“No matter how stupid they are, they can’t be fooled by peanuts. Put the sword down for now, kid. What if you get cut?!”
“Leblaine, first-”
Just then,
The old nymphs’ eyes widened.
“P,peanuts!”
“Peanuts!”
“It’s peanuts!”
The nymphs rushed to my side. Especially, the little nymphs.
“That’s not the only thing, I can give you more than that.”
The old nymph with peanuts in both hands looked shocked and I declared arrogantly.
“There are almonds.”
“……!”
The nymphs made a big fuss.
Isaac said, “They’re a bunch of idiots.” I let out a laugh.
‘They must be starving.’
The little nymphs alone eat a huge amount. But the Eston mines were so damaged. The absence of a single animal was the evidence.
I’m glad I brought a bunch of peanuts just in case.
The old nymph looked at me with trembling eyes and gulped,
“Seeing master is a priority.”
I nodded at his words.
Then I grabbed the mineral that the nymphs handed me. Lightly give it divine power.
Krkrkrkr-!!
The mine shook loudly with a tremendous roar. I felt a tremendous headache.
‘Oh my god. I’m short of divine power.…!’
The moment, I was about to cut off my powers,
