Chapter 317
translator: yompyamper
Aegina Kingdom, Summer Palace .
There is a middle-aged man in front of me who was called by Selene .
His lower belly protrudes greatly, and the tip of his nose is oily .
The clothes he wears are high-quality, so he is obviously rich .
“I’ll introduce you, this person … um …”
“Taki Jitakis, a slave trader . ”
Abraham near Selene responds instead .
Abraham acts accustomed to being a follower .
On the other hand, the introduced slave merchant, Taki Jitakis, stands up with exaggerated gestures .
“Oh, are you Baron Yuki?”
He speaks to me intimately .
“Ah . ”
“I have something to request . ”
I didn’t miss the momentary unpleasant glint in Taki’s eyes .
(Kukuku, the little girl doesn’t know how to bargain . )
That’s the face .
Apparently he asked Selene to make an inquiry because he wants to negotiate or trade with me .
Selene didn’t get rid of him, so she doesn’t seem to dislike this .
“So what’s the story?”
“No, no, it’s an honour for me to speak with illustrious baron Yuki —”
Taki bunches his eyebrows .
Honestly speaking, it’s troublesome .
What is sad, I have to talk to this fat guy .
Let’s love Selene later .
“The excitement of meeting a general is the same . Sorry, I just uttered what I thought from the bottom of my heart . ”
He’s too clingy, I’ll go mad .
“In fact, I want you to delay the liberation of slaves a little further . ”
Well, that’s right .
Of course, there is no reason to listen to that .
Taki request was immediately rejected and he was kicked out .
☆
After kicking out Taki, in the reception area of the summer palace .
Selene listens to me, snuggled up to me .
“So, was that okay?”
“Oh, slaves will be released . That’s already decided . ”
“Is that so . ”
“Ah . ”
“But the problem is still there . ”
“Abraham?”
Selene is surprised and opens her eyes as Abraham is standing not too far away .
“What is the problem?”
“Currently, 90% of slaves are trying to be sold . Most of them are sold as slaves because their parents cannot provide enough food and they cannot procure it either . ”
“Hmmmmmm . ”
Listening to Abraham’s explanation, Selene, a serious student who became completely honest after the Aegina’s Incident .
“Simply releasing slaves doesn’t solve it . Rather, it either leaves them in poverty or drives them into more darkness . ”
Selene preaches with kind teacher’s eyes, but I’ve been questioned with strict eyes .
“What will you do?”
I thought it was coming .
Somewhere I thought someone would notice it .
I thought Rika was my favorite, Delfina was my opponent, and Iris Ohana .
I didn’t expect Abraham to ask me – but I have the answer .
“From this conclusion, we’re giving money away to children . ”
“That’s only a temporary solution . ”
“Don’t run ahead, you’ve come to the conclusion . ”
Abraham’s gaze becomes increasingly severe .
“Do you know church school?”
“Solonism, that is what the current pope started . ”
“Oh, the same as that, start a school that lets kids go . ”
“Do you want them to go to school with financial assistance? They’ll take the money and run away . ”
“That’s impertinent . ”
Abraham crisps up .
“You can create a salary . ”
“Umm, arh?”
“Oh, if your kids can go to school and get paid, they will have to go . ”
“That’s … Umm ……”
Abraham, who is worried, seems to be unable to follow the first proposal .
After that, he’s worried for a while …
“Sure… It may be effective . ”
He agreed .
“Children’s education is important . Especially at this time . ”
“But that is not easy . ”
“Why isn’t it Abraham?”
“A budget is needed to cover the large number of children . If this policy is implemented, the population will increase and the degree of education will increase . ”
After all, he thinks quickly .
I consulted with Althea and immediately understood the aim of the proposal I brought in after arranging a case that worked well in the real world .
“Isn’t there enough money?”
“Yes, frankly . ”
“If so, use the royal budget . ”
“Eh……”
Abraham has a blank look in response to Selene’s offer .
“My Highness, that is …”
“The royal budget can afford this . ”
“If so, use it . ”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah! Because studying is important, because . ”
Selene says with a troubled face .
“If everyone couldn’t study and looked like the me of the past, the country would be in dire straights . ”
Hey .
This is surprising .
Is Selene really doing this?
“… That’s right . ”
“Okay, the story is over . Abraham, do that . Good Selene . ”
“Yes! Please Abraham . ”
“I understand … leave it to me . ”
He looks down and bites his lower lip, but the next moment, he loses his hesitation and raises his face .
If you have a budget, you’ll never get lost .
“Okay, Selene, come with me . ”
“Yeah! What for?”
“Sex . ”
“Eh? Is it okay?”
Selene is confused with a happy face .
“I want to do it because you are a good woman now . ”
“Yup!”
I happily hug Selene whose cheeks are dyed, walk out of the sitting room, take her to a nearby room, she is so cute .
