Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami - Ch 201

Conference

"We have already managed to solve most of the market crisis, we have almost recovered all the fake gold coins and only a few of them are still circulating, and as soon as discovered, the kingdom promises to exchange for genuine gold coins at no cost, announcing this extensively. I also added an investigation on my side to get more information. "

"Well, that's good. You already freed the market from fake coins, can you explain us how was it carried out?" I asked Dean.

"... those who sell crops stockpiles to merchants are all jointly in contact with another merchant who doesn't set a time to visit the stores."

I do remember that fact when Moneda brought me the results of his investigation... 

Some of the nobles changed their complexions at those words.

"I used the former papal collections as a bait, I would not let go of the fake gold issue so easily ... No matter what, I must do my utmost for the people, I would never do things for my own desires..." Dean said.

I was amazed at his sentence and couldn't say anything at that. 

"Well ... We used that to collect the fake gold coins. The kingdom's goods, like the papal collections, will not affect the well being of the people, and if it's an item of the pope more than anything, its value is high, so it should be enough to awake the interest of many. If it becomes readily available cash, it's likely that it was bought with fake gold coins they got a while ago. "

"I removed all the gold coins and got rid of the impurities and made those genuine gold coins again. Although I collected a lot of fake gold coins, after the re-purification process, the coins will be returned to the people, so those will never remain in my hands. Almost all of the fake gold coin was already collected and purified... Although the fake coins circulated some time and it produced economic damage for the people... As for that matter, Count Anderson, your contribution was very important to the success of this, let me give you my thanks. "

At his words, my uncle lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"But, Prince Alfred, what will be of the problem of the lack of food for the people?"

"I already went to another country beyond the ocean, the negotiations were successful, at first it was only meant to recover the stockpiles that merchant took from our country, but ... I'm really regretful that this disaster couldn't be predicted at time and everyone had a hard time. I'm really sorry... As soon as I arrived, the goods to be distributed between the people have arrived in this country and we will immediately start the distribution to the places in more need. Thanks to the Darryl's church on behalf of Priest Rafshimonds, that was saddened by this national impairment, and provided financial support that this was possible. "

"... While making a mistake, they still provided a generous atonement to help the people of this country, it's a real prospect of relief for our people"

Priest Rafshimons lowered his head as he heard this.

Here I'm a little cloudy as if his aim from this is to officially restore the status of the Darryl's church.

He showed the close relationship between him and Darryl's church, and showed it by lowering his head while thanking them for the contribution.

Priest Rafshimonds also lowered his head in response, recognizing his intention, because it was a good opportunity to show the way of the "Correct Darrylism" in and out.

In the past Darryl's church was always seeking donations from the aristocrats and seeking gold at charity parties.

Is your meaning to spit out the things that had being collected since those times?

Probably, he's providing the funds confiscated from the previous pope.

"... If you become king, this country will be safe, our Duke of Almeria's house will support you with all our strength."

That said, I lowered my head.

No way, Dean was the first prince... my head has not kept pace with the situation yet.

However, as head of the Duke Almerian's house and in the name of my father the Prime Minister of this country, I lower my head.

As the head of the First Prince faction, Count Anderson has cooperative relations with Dean. And Rudy who is heir of the Count Anderson's house is also his aide.

Although he lowered his head without any consultation to everyone who formed his faction, Count Anderson, which is an essential person of the alliance, publicly announced that he had a close relationship with Dean.

That's why to exchange some words with the first prince from now on will be no problem.

Originally this alliance was obstructed by the Second Prince Ed and Marquis Maras faction, but now that it doesn't have any competitors, it seems like the original meaning disappeared.

Now he has shown the support he has from the Duke of Almeria and Count Anderson.

And the usefulness of the two houses has already been explained by him.

Along with that, he himself showed his achievements and value.

There's nothing else to block him from leading the present case to an end.

To resist him is the same as refusing the way of salvation.

Queen Elle and Marquis Maras have been captured already.

"... It is the birth of a wonderful king"

"Well, we met at a wonderful moment."

The nobles who had been giving support to Ed until now praise Dean in turns.

The waves gradually became bigger and applauses sound everywhere from within the hall.

"Everyone, do not be fooled!"

Ed who was detained by the guards and was stunned till then shouted.

"There is no evidence that what he's saying is true, and there is not any evidence that this is my older brother! This person is a slave of Count Anderson! It must be a collaboration to take away the throne"

"... Someone! Please save us!"

Yuri cried out desperate while shedding tears.

"Is something wrong?"

The knights order entered inside.

At their appearance, Ed and Yuri breathed in relief.

"Capture that person! He's trying to take over the throne!"

At his cry, though, the knights didn't move.

"Why don't you move!"

"Edward, I'm afraid to inform you that we serve the royal family and as so we can't point our swords to the royal family"

"What are you saying! Where is the proof that this is my older brother!"

Yuri was staring at the interaction between Ed and the knights.

While muttering...

"Wrong……" 

"No ... I do not know them ... Where are my knights?"

"The chief of the knights has been discharged from his position since the Count of Mirese has almost no practical experience, and such a person cannot be knight captain."

The the disturbed crying Yuri, Dean said funnily.

"There were some people who were not worthy of being in the order... The knights have already set their positions ... Now, as the previous matter ends here here, there is not much more to talk about on this occasion. Guards! "

Everyone has an expression of not understanding anything said between Yuri and Dean.

That said, I was one of them.

"Guards! Imprison Edward and Yuri. Send them away right now."

" At your order!"

Before the two raised more protests, the guards surrounding dragged the two with a quick move out of the room.

"Why……!"

Ed shouted from outside the room.
