Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End

【...】

Hearing Wilhelmina's words, Teresa twitched her eyes slightly, not knowing how to comment for a while, but on the other hand, Miss Knight was also extremely distressed.

In Wilhelmina's opinion, the relationship between her and Roja is not too close at present. If Noelle or Lilian feel this matter, then they can write directly to the boy to inquire about the situation, but for For Wilhelmina, doing so felt a little too close.

"We're just friends. Even the last time we met was a year ago. If you write a letter saying something like this, it's okay if it's true. If it's not because of Roja, it will be very confusing. .”

[Although this is indeed the case, Minna, if it was those two people, she wouldn't think about it. 】

"...It's different, one of them is his childhood sweetheart, the other is a blood relative with the same blood, and I'm just an outsider."

After a moment of silence, Wilhelmina replied in a somewhat disappointed manner, with some unconscious bitterness in her words, and Teresa frowned after hearing this, and started to write again.

【outsider?What the hell are you talking about Minna?You are his swearer, you have sacrificed for him for ten years! 】

"But I didn't do anything for him, did I? I couldn't even find him when I was young, let alone protect him. Going to the academy is just causing trouble for him and imposing my own ideas on him."

Wilhelmina who said this became even more depressed, and Teresa stopped writing when she heard this, looking at the girl with gray-blue hair, she didn't know what to write for a while.

Wilhelmina has a very serious sense of distance from Roja, and even has a feeling that she is cautious not to approach her. Teresa actually understands this feeling. After all, for the children of the hermit family in the country of knights, choosing The royal family is a special existence, they are heroes that only appear in the stories they heard since childhood, and they are also the people they should follow.

Although Wilhelmina is the royal family of the Kingdom of Knights, the Kingdom of Knights itself was created by the ancestors of Roja, and it is reserved for the leadership of the king-chosen clan, and the girl herself should protect Roja's guards. Coupled with childhood education, Wilhelmina lowered her position, and the relationship between the two was like that of a leader and a follower.

In the past, Teresa would not be surprised by this kind of relationship. After all, Teresa herself also respects the black-haired boy, but after realizing the feelings in Wilhelmina's heart, the girl felt that this kind of relationship was not acceptable. Yes, because of the alienation caused by unequal identities, it will make it almost impossible for the two to develop feelings.

The pink-haired girl who was thinking this way sighed, while the gray-blue-haired girl on the other side was worried about the uneasiness in her heart. If this feeling really came from a boy thousands of miles away, does it mean that Roja met? What's the trouble?

【It is indeed possible, but now he should be in his territory. 】

"Well, that means it's not a heterogeneous person. Could it be a cultist?"

Hearing Wilhelmina's guess, Teresa nodded in agreement. After discussing for a while, the two decided to report to Friedrich, the king of the country of knights in the castle and also Wilhelmina's father. this matter.

The two princesses of the Kingdom of Knights ended their conversation and chose to report it. However, in Acate, thousands of miles away, the situation gradually became less optimistic with the passage of time.

----------------------------------------------------------

In Shia, the new year is in the middle and late winter, which is truly deep winter in terms of time. It is also the time of the year when the nights are longest and the temperature is cold and snow is most likely to fall.

It's normal to wake up in the morning before dawn at this time, and the sky is dark earlier than usual in the afternoon, and in Akater's study, candles have already been lit at this time.

Facing the possible crisis, after Roja has dealt with what he can do, he begins to improve himself with all his strength. The easiest way is promotion.

After a bloody battle with [Lord of Dead Tide], Roja's strength has reached the peak of source level 3. Although the higher the level, the more troublesome promotion, but without any good means, this It was the only method that Roja could think of, but unfortunately, the progress of ordinary methods was very slow.

Obviously, the leap from source level 3 to source level 2 cannot be broken through just hiding at home and studying. The only effect is probably to make the boy's mantra more solid, but fortunately it also has some effect on the state of mind , such as being able to calm Roja's mental state as much as possible.

It's just that at this point in time, Roja's goal of seeking peace is no longer the unfathomable uneasiness in his heart, but the heartache after crazy bleeding.

Today, Roja took the silver-haired girl all over the city of Acate, looked at all the defense facilities that can be used in the city today, and frantically threw money to activate them all.

It has to be said that, as a veteran military town, Acateling has a lot of inventory. The ancestors of the family have not been left behind, but various defensive facilities have been built, and the awareness of upgrading is very high.

It is no exaggeration to say that after all the city defense systems have been activated, the defense level of the Akat Territory has reached the configuration at the climax of the all-out war. Now that the enemy has not appeared, such behavior is really extravagant. Many officials and generals It is also quite puzzled, but in view of Roja's long-term political achievements and the predictability of various things, no one raised any objections.

To a certain extent, the money that Acate received was originally earned by Roja. Now that the black-haired boy wants to spend it, no one can stop him, but in fact, there is no need to stop him, because Roja himself is the one who struggles the most every time. .

When he saw the expenditure bill of more than 20 gold coins that day, the black-haired boy almost lost his breath on the spot. Fortunately, Alisa behind him helped him in time, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

As the saying goes, children from poor families start their own families early. Roja, as the rich generation who started a business, was once the "debt king" of San Meister, and he is extremely sensitive to money. But even so, 20 gold coins is too much.

The expenditure of more than 20 gold coins is estimated to take a year in other territories, but Roja only spent one day here. Although the cost of various spells is much lower after activation, the overall cost is still much higher than usual consumption levels.

In this situation of spending money like water, a natural problem appeared in front of Roja's eyes, that is, the financial bankruptcy of the territory.

It is not too common among nobles to become poor during the war, and after the round of throwing money is over, the black-haired boy will naturally not miss this problem.

"According to the current level of consumption, how long can the Acate Territory last?"

"Master Roja, according to our calculations, it will take about half a month. No matter how long it takes, the territory's finances will not be able to support it."

"......I understand."

Looking at the financial officer who also counts money like cutting flesh, the black-haired boy nodded and said so, quite a feeling that he wanted to cry instead of hugging his head. After careful thinking, Roja also made a preliminary decision, that That is, open for three days first.

Three days, this time point is almost the time when Altasia returns, and reinforcements from Rose and the Holy See will arrive one after another after that. With the support at that time, this behavior of bankrupting money and avoiding disasters can be terminated.

Recalling the previous arrangements, the black-haired boy in front of the desk lamp couldn't help sighing softly. He didn't expect his vacation to be so difficult. It can be said that he was sitting at home, and the disaster came from the sky. However, before Roja's sigh was over , the silver-haired girl knocked on the door and walked in.

"...Brother, are you still reading the information?"

"Huh? You're right, what's wrong?"

Looking at Alisa who pushed the door open and walked in with a look of hesitation, the black-haired boy blinked in response, a little surprised at the girl's arrival.

Although girls with silver-white hair usually come to Roja when they are free, to do something by his side or simply rest by the boy's side, but the number of times Roja comes to disturb him when he is looking up information and upgrading his level is not More, after all, at this critical moment, more strength means more security.

The sudden arrival of Roja when she was improving her strength didn't match the girl's style, and on the other hand, Arisa's expression now is also a little strange.

At this time, the silver-haired girl who walked in the door did not feel the joy of seeing Roja as usual, but frowned slightly as if she had encountered some difficult problem. Seeing this situation, the black-haired boy would naturally not ignore it and waited. For a moment, after realizing that Alisa was silent and didn't know what she was thinking, Roja couldn't help but asked first.

"Alisa, what happened? I always feel that you have something on your mind?"

"...Forget it, brother, actually, I also feel something is wrong."

"Ok?"

Hearing the girl's words, the black-haired boy raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, then put down the book as if understanding something, and his face became serious.
