Chapter 17: Grace and Lemech
After the dance was over, the party was open. The nobles and merchants seemed to be interested in various items such as super mithril alloys, potatoes and rubber.
Of course, some of them asked me about the guns, but I just brushed them off. We were going to distribute them anyway. I’ll tell them how to make it, but there’s a certain timing for that.
“Oh, Grace-sama! It’s wonderful that you have a bathhouse of this scale!”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
And now I’m showing those who wish to go to the large bath. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but only the wealthiest noblemen have bathhouses of this scale and almost none of the noblemen who came to today’s party have them. Of course, the Cassius family would have one, though.
They were happily heading towards the large bathhouse. Then I spoke to someone who was staring at me.
“Lemech-san, if you don’t mind, I’d like to talk to you afterwards.”
“Oh, Grace-sama, it’s an honor to meet you at your busy time. I would be delighted.”

When I called out to him, he nodded happily. It seems that there’s something he wants to talk about as he implied in the letter earlier. Well, that’s just right, there’s also the case of Noah… there’s a suggestion from him who has a strong power in these regions.
“Is there somewhere we can talk?”
“Yes, of course. I’ll arrange it right away.”
So I told Galatea and Edward about the situation and left the rest to them and went to talk to Lemech-san.
I was in the guest room facing Lemech-san. There were sandwiches and other quick snacks on the table, as well as tea and Galatea was keeping watch outside the door.
The fact that she could read his emotions and didn’t try to stop him meant that Lemech-san wasn’t hostile.
“This is a great place to live. I actually visited the village before coming to the pavilion and I found everyone to be lively and happy. In addition, they take good care of your statue, Grace-sama and everyone seems to adore you.”
“No. hahahaha.”
I know it was just a social greeting, but when he mentioned my statue, I couldn’t help but laugh dryly. No way, arrows come out of my nose and I’m a toy for the residents and your daughter is trying to turn it into a mobile statue of me. But I can’t say that. ……
Lemech-san looked dubious at my reaction, but he didn’t care and continued to speak.
“New inventions, better weapons, crops with special effects, this Asgard territory will continue to develop …… if nothing else.”

“You mean ……?”
I stared at him straight in the face with meaningful words. Lemech-san’s gaze waits for words while he stares as though he’s evaluating me.
He took a sip of the tea that was being served and continued.
“There are rumors of your activities in the capital as well. You have overthrown the second prince, Kyle-sama and those who were in his faction, or those who could not join the faction in the first place, are trying to promote you as the next successor of this country. In fact, there were nobles from various factions at today’s party. Perhaps the current situation in Asgard will reach the people in the royal capital. That way……”
“My father and brother won’t keep quiet. …… So that’s what you’re saying?”
“Yes, and the king is already on the move. Soon you will be summoned to King’s Landing and your response will determine the future of you and your territory.”
“So that’s how it is…..”
My father and shitty brother George, who had only made fun of me up until now, must have changed their opinion of me after I defeated Kyle.
To be honest, I have a feeling that he was going to say something excess and I have a lot of unpleasant memories in the royal capital, but if I’m convened, I can’t refuse.
“So… I also want to ask you what you want to do, Grace-sama… how are you going to develop this territory?”

I choked on my words as Lemech-san asked with a serious face. This is probably the turning point. My words will probably determine whether or not he will join me.
