“Apologies for the wait.”

Just as our conversation had found a stopping point, the elderly owner of the shop arrived with a pot of tea, and buttered scones. It was almost time for lunch, so the smell instantly stimulated my appetite.

The tea that the gentleman poured by hand was quite good. It had a different scent than the precious tea I received from my grandfather, but this was also wonderful.

The vivid red coloring and the gentle sweet scent coming from the tea implied high-quality tea leaves. This was likely Hildetaura’s favored brand. Though she was the third princess, a princess was still a princess. She was eating well.

The man left before anyone touched the refreshments, and then Hildetaura reached forward.

“That is true. Neither of you have a reason to refuse,” she said, taking a sip of her tea after continuing where we’d left off. “How do things appear to be going presently?” After having spoken about her ambitious dream, she moved onto a more grounded topic of discussion.

“I have heard of the Liston territories’ rate of popularization from Neal Liston. You have not managed to reach even ten percent of the population, yes?”

Oh, it was my turn to speak now. Especially with the way she was looking directly at me.

“I have heard that is the case, but I’m not told all that much about the specifics,” I explained. I had heard in passing about a month ago that we had finally crossed eight percent, but I hadn’t even gotten direct confirmation of the facts for that one. I knew Bendelio brought his distinctive face to the Liston estate to discuss those sorts of topics with my parents, but I’d only heard bits and pieces.

They were still refusing to get me involved in the numbers. I was only six. I could understand why they wouldn’t want to be so direct about topics involving money, loans, or work guarantees. If I had my own child, it wasn’t exactly the first thing I would want to talk to them about, especially the money part.

“Out of curiosity, how is the capital faring in this regard?” I fired back at her.

“I believe we have reached six percent. But the capital’s population is much larger, so the number of MagiPads sold should be higher than the Liston territories.”

That was true.

Hildetaura turned to Reliared this time. “How about the Silver territories? You only opened your broadcasting station six months ago, so I assume it is still fairly low.”

“Y-Yes, well, uh, um... Esuella, you explain!”

Reliared didn’t appear to be privy to those details either, and so she immediately turned to the tall attendant standing behind her. The only reason I knew the rough percentage for our territories was because I had heard it in passing, so Reliared probably knew about as much as me.

“I have heard we have not yet passed four percent. Thanks to the assistance of Lord Ornitt of the Liston territories, however, we appear to be progressing at a relatively fast pace.” The attendant supplied the information without hesitation, even including my father’s name.
