“—C’mon, try harder than that. It’s like you guys want me to eat you up.”

Wein frowned, a sheet of paper in one hand. It was a contract with a merchant from Altie. The terms stated the current surplus of weapons, plus all made in the next six months, would be sold to Muldu. In addition, the arms included in this deal would soon make their way to Roynock and Facrita. Wein sold them for triple the price.

“After buying up all the weapons in secret, you purchased all the slaves, spread rumors of a revolt, and sowed panic in the western and the southern cities. Then, when they wanted armaments, you sold them to each side for triple the price… You really are crooked.”

Ninym stared at the prince with exasperation. Still, there was no other way to get money from Roynock and Facrita. Wein had earned the funds by producing nonexistent fear. “Incidentally, were you really planning to start a revolt?”

“Nope,” Wein replied plainly. “Couldn’t do it if I tried. Falanya moved the people of Mealtars, and they had turned to her out of desperation. That’s not easy to replicate.”

In short, it was a bluff. The ruling classes of Roynock and Facrita didn’t know that, however, and played right into the palm of his hand.

“Anyway, our wallet is nice and fat again. Now the marriage campaign can move full steam ahead.”

Wein nodded to himself with satisfaction. His attitude suggested the matter was settled, but Ninym hesitantly called out from beside him.

“…Hey, Wein.” He looked over at her. She felt his gaze and continued. “Did you really need to buy the slaves?”

“We’ve got the money now, right? Besides, they can help us gather info in Ulbeth, then come to Natra. Or stay with Agata. Whatever they want, really.”

“That’s not what I mean…”

Wein had purchased almost one hundred people. A dozen or so were Flahm, including the man Ninym had met.

“Um…I was just wondering…if maybe…”

“‘It’s fine.’” Wein grinned. “Isn’t that what you said?”

“…”

Wein had noticed her strange behavior that day and the reason for it. He must have figured everything out and…

“…Thank you.”

“Why, whatever for?” Wein asked with an innocent shrug.

Ninym smiled softly.

“Let’s prepare our next move. Oleom and Lejoutte won’t sit still for long,” Wein stated, changing the topic.

The Flahm girl nodded.
