Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga Chapter 633

EP.633

How great it would be if everything in the world went as expected.

Esmu had also imagined something that everyone would have dreamed of at least once. At best, it was just a wish to make a fantasy come true that I had dreamed of while reading novels containing fairy tale-like stories when I was still a child.

However, as time passed and I grew older, solidifying my position as the next emperor and conquering the political world of the empire, what I realized was that it was a problem if the world progressed too much as expected.

Because she did not look at the world positively.

In order to overturn or overcome the negative future she had predicted, she had to work hard on her head every day, so all she felt was fatigue rather than the satisfaction and sense of omnipotence that comes from knowing that her predictions came true.

“Hwansang-gong sent a letter saying he couldn’t spare the time, so he would make up for it with a gift.”

“The southern nobility mostly attended, but it was a move that bordered on formal greetings. About 40% of them sent their second son or second daughter…” ”

In the North, only the heads of the family participated. Perhaps there was an excessive emphasis on the word ‘qualification’. …”

“The West is…”

While putting on makeup and putting on a dress to attend the celebration, I compare and compile the reports from my retainers one by one in my head. It was a task that had been going on since I woke up in the morning until it was almost lunch.

Due to the celebration, most of what is happening in the capital can be heard. The amount of information was so vast that even the maids who tried not to listen to the conversation were confused, but Esmuye remained calm even while listening to four or five people talking at the same time.

“Every member of the collateral family, led by the Margrave Hilbruden, attended. Congratulations…”

“Not even one person was left out?”

At the voice of Esmue, who was questioning for the first time, everyone, including the retainer who was reporting, flinched and froze, but the silence did not last long.

The Iron Blood Princess’s time was more valuable than gold, but their reflexive hesitation due to fear was no better than a stone rolling on the side of the road.

“Yes. I confirmed that the Margrave encouraged everyone to attend the celebration, unless they were too young or too old.”

The common opinion of the vassals who heard the story was that the Margrave of Hilbruden, who had shown bad behavior in the past, took unreasonable measures to make up for it. Even though the princess clearly told her to only allow ‘qualified people’ to come, she thought it made no sense to gather all of her relatives to visit her.

However, Esmueh’s reaction was different from what they expected.

“I remember you didn’t make any new associates or anything?”

“That’s right. The selection of those who can advise the Margrave Hilbruden has not changed.”

“Hmm… I guess I need to give it a bit of a shock to make my head turn…?”

“yes?”

“Nothing to know. Report first when the Margrave visits. Continue.”

On the contrary, suspicion arose among the retainers at Esmuët’s reaction, which seemed to praise the margrave’s actions, but as the report continued without anyone asking, Esmuët, fully dressed, looked in the mirror and checked his appearance. At the same time, the evaluation of the Margrave of Hilbruden was revised.

In the first place, the word ‘qualification’ was just bait thrown to reexamine the information on the dispositions of the nobles she held. What she is doing now is close to the process of clearly classifying those who will respond passively to the imperial family’s call and those who will not when the war against the devil’s army intensifies and the evil god’s followers become active.

If the war would have ended with just a momentary imbalance, it would not have continued sluggishly for more than seven years. It is true that Eldmia brought a positive wind to the front line, brought about change, and allowed us to move forward, but that was only a temporary phenomenon.

The Demon Lord’s army, which not only blasphemed the Demon God and used the power of the Evil God and turned its back on the Demon God Cult, but also failed to suppress it, was already in a position where it had no choice but to go to war with a desperate determination.

If you lose here, it will not end with only the Demon King killed or dethroned like in past wars, but will lead to a great purge in which all high-ranking officials and key figures on the Demon King’s side will die. It was clear that in order to avoid such an ending, the Demon King’s army would continue an unprecedented muddy fight.

And when that time comes, no matter how empire it is, it cannot just continue fighting comfortably. Therefore, it was necessary to carefully select people who must be kept alive to achieve maximum effect with minimum loss and to stabilize the empire in the chaos that would follow.

In order to ‘consume’ mainly those with self-protective tendencies on the front line and appropriately place the necessary people in the vacant positions thus created.

Until recently, Esmueh had seriously wondered whether the Margrave of Hilbruden had lived long enough to live long, but it seemed that he was destined to live a long life.

“Princess. Chimseonjang says he has something to say regarding the preparation of clothes for Lord Ega.”

“…Captain Chim?”

While she was organizing her thoughts, an unexpected report came in, and Esmuët’s eyebrows drew an eight sign.

Of course, I called in the best chimseonjang and asked him to do it. Having only about a day is a serious problem for the human race, but it is not a big deal for the dwarves, who can be said to be blessed in all fields related to production.

Even when she was measuring Eldmia’s size, she personally saw him with more solemn determination and determination than ever before, so Esmuye could not easily accept the fact that he had something to say to her.

“Did you come alone?”

“Lord Ega is with you.”

“…hmm.”

It’s a bit embarrassing to show that I’m not prepared.

The maids, who did not miss the fact that the accident that was affecting the fate of the empire and the lives of countless nobles, were suddenly filled with girlish sensibility, became busier. Fortunately, since Esmuët did not wear much makeup to begin with, the preparations quickly entered the final stage, and the maids even created an atmosphere where ‘now all you have to do is put on accessories’ and nodded confidently towards Esmuët.

“…Hmm, hmm. Come on in.”

When I removed the screen that had been erected to divide the space with the vassals and opened the door, there was Chimseonjang, who had a tearful expression on his face that even Esmueh had never seen in his life, and Eldmia, who was smiling as if she were embarrassed.

“I’m sorry, princess. I failed.”

It was surprising that Master Chim’s melancholy filled the room despite his neatly braided beard, which was so thick that it covered half of his face, but Esmuer’s eyes were even more drawn to the clothes that Captain Chim had brought with him.

Not because there is a problem, but because I really like it. Even at a glance, it was clear that the clothes had been made to match the dress code of her own, showing off such a high level of perfection that it almost made you raise your eyebrows. It was hard to believe that it was made in just one night, but if you said that the person who created it was Jeffrey Chimseonjang, anyone would shake their head in admiration.

But what does this mean when the person involved completes something like that and calls it a failure?

“Do you see the clothes you are holding?”

“These are not clothes. If you dare even compare them, it’s a miserable failure.”

The gloom in his eyes, which had been burning with motivation behind his glasses until yesterday, was burdensome, and when he looked at Eldmia, his head shook from side to side as if he could not understand it either. I quickly rolled my eyes, but the other retainers only responded that they couldn’t understand.

Well, I don’t understand myself, but who will understand? Anyway, Captain Jeffrey Chim continued his words once more.

“Actually, what the dragon slayer is wearing is Chimseonjang Gula’s work. I failed to surpass his work.”

Esmuët’s eyebrows furrowed for an instant as she looked at Captain Geoffrey Chim, who did not say anything more, as if he had already explained everything. It wasn’t that his reaction was unpleasant, it was that I understood the current situation after recalling a very old memory.

“I like it, so it doesn’t matter.”

“But…”

“I said it was possible to open it.”

In response to the words spoken not as a reprimand but to conclude the story clearly, Captain Geoffrey Chim nodded gloomily, handed his clothes and shoes over to one of the retainers, and left the room.

Only when his heavy steps had disappeared into the distance and could no longer be heard, Esmué let out a deep sigh and waved his hand and explained to his retainers who were still rolling their eyes uneasily as they did not understand the situation.

“It’s Captain Jeffrey Chim’s chronic illness. He’s a bit pessimistic. Even so, I haven’t seen him like that since I was six, so it’s late for me to think about it.”

Geoffrey Chimseonjang was a strange dwarf whose self-esteem plummeted when he only looked at the works of people above him, even though he was recognized as having skills that could be counted on one hand even on the continent.

“Now that the report has been completed, you should go out and prepare to attend the celebration. Since we are short on time, we will prepare for Eldmia’s return here.”

As soon as Esmuët’s words fell, the vassals handed over the clothes left behind by Captain Geoffrey Chim to the maids and left the place. After making sure that the last person left and closed the door, Esmuye looked at the maids who had been helping her dress up just a moment ago and gave a soft order.

“I forbid you to listen from this moment on.”

There is no answer back. I just moved the veil I was wearing on my head forward to cover my face. At the same time, the magic given to the veil was activated, causing the maids to lose their hearing, and they moved in perfect order to help Eldmia recover.

“Their veils are enchanted, so you can speak with ease now. How do you like the clothes?”

“It was so luxurious that it was a burden. But then he said it was a failure and was depressed, so I really didn’t know what to do.”

Since the only thing that blocks hearing is hearing, facial expression management is essential. Eldmia, who did not miss that fact, maintained a calm expression like Esmuët and followed the maids towards the other side of the screen.

“But how long will the celebration last? I don’t think it will end in just one day.”

Feeling her face getting a little hot at the sound of her body slowly changing, Esmuye began quietly fanning herself, cleared her throat, and answered his question with a pretense of nonchalance.

“It is scheduled to last for three days. However, there is no need to worry about your schedule being distorted. The Dwarf Kingdom will definitely send an envoy by this evening, so you can head to the kingdom with the envoys.”

“Emissary? Are you coming with that amazing means of transportation that the merchant and the manager were talking about? I heard it would take another day or two.”

It’s an amazing means of transportation…

It’s not at a level comparable to a gate, and although it’s slower than a ship or a dragon, it’s still a wonderful and amazing means of transportation because there is no faster or more comfortable means of transportation on the ground.

“Originally, that would have been the case. However, since we have already spent a lot of money to hold a celebration, shouldn’t we make the most of it and make it as colorful as possible?”

“Uh… Do you think they’ll put aside their work and come early just for the celebration?”

Eldmia’s concerns were justified, but in fact, the reason why the Dwarf Kingdom did not immediately send the ‘amazing means of transportation’ was simple. This is because the ‘amazing means of transportation’, of which there are still few in the Dwarven Kingdom, moves across the entire Dwarven Kingdom.

At least they thought it wasn’t urgent enough to be driven first. Trade can be done according to the timing anyway, and dragon by-products cannot be made into proper products unless you are a dragon, so from the Dwarven Kingdom’s perspective, this transaction would have been useful, but there was no need to rush.

However, when diplomacy is added to the mix, the story changes. Esmuye was sure that they would come ahead of schedule just to curse at the sudden invitation like this.

“I told you, it’s your job to take advantage of this situation. It will definitely come.”

Dwarves are a race that can understand anything only when they face it in person.
