　The construction of Maust Castle proceeded smoothly, although it was a large-scale civil engineering project.

　However, it was not only the castle that was being built. The castle was remodeled at the same time.

　As for wealth, he suspended the trade union and allowed anyone to open a market and set up a store.

　He has largely switched to a system of taking taxes from those who make a profit, as he did in the past in his own fiefdoms of Sanmura and Nayvre.

　When there is a union, you have to belong to it to be able to open a store (of course, you have to be screened and paid to join). In addition, price adjustments are done internally, making cheaper items more expensive.

　This was a good way to protect the vendors, and eventually the lords were able to get money from the union.

　However, it is useful only until the time when the size of the city does not change much.

　The city had already announced that Maust would be the capital of the province, and the population was growing rapidly. This meant that more and more people would want to do business, and the number of stores and markets would have to be increased. Such a city does not need unions that hinder its development.

　Despite the opposition from the unions, "I am the invader of Maust, so to speak. I will not follow the ways of the previous lords.

"Besides, those who have been in business here for a long time will surely benefit from their experience," he said. You can think of it as a win-win situation, because you pay less money to the union. You'll still have to pay taxes on the profits, though."

　The union does not have the power to push back. They backed away quietly.

　Trying to take taxes from the poor does not work, and the amount you can take is limited. Then let them make a profit and take a large portion from it.

　With the money they get, they hire more workers.

　They sometimes requisitioned peasants to some extent, but they paid more wages than before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was possible because of the city of Maust. Because of its large population, the city can absorb much more wealth than Nevre if it is the home of the people.

　As the number of workers increases, more and more people will try to do business with them. It should be a good cycle.

　As I continue to do so, I have been given another power.

　--I acquired a special ability, the "High King's Vision". Your economic sense about cities and trade becomes as good as Oda Nobunaga's. It is always active unless he is intoxicated or in a daze.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is this ......?　Is this an ability ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--I'll explain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oda Nobunaga is speaking again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--You're right, this is more of an assessment of you than an ability. Your foresight has allowed you to be as good as this High King. So, for the time being, I have given you this ability as a special ability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps, this special ability is something you created on your own ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--Yes. This profession is an exceptional one, and you are the only one in the world, apparently. So, it's a trial-and-error process.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what kind of special ability you have, but I guess he appreciates me in his own way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am not sure if I can do it.

　It will take some time to complete, but I did not wait for that and officially moved to Maust. For the time being, I have set up a temporary base in the hills near Maust.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is quite different from the castle on the water where I am going to move to, but this temporary base is not so bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From here, we can see the town's development clearly.

"I was wondering where you've been, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Serafina lines up beside me. There was a nice breeze.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm not sure that seeing it from a distance will hasten its completion, but I'm still enjoying it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I understand. But it's a good time to start building the castle. I think it would have been difficult to unify the prefectures afterwards, since it would have provoked the great lords of the other prefectures.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. We can gather men from all over the province because we haven't had to fight a major war."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I combed my hand through Serafina's hair, which was blowing in the wind.

　Seraphina had become much more beautiful than when we had met in Minelia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Your husband is the coolest man I've ever met. He is a great lord who is not ashamed to be seen from any angle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What a coincidence. I thought Serafina was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A woman becomes beautiful when she is in the presence of the man she loves."

　Now that there are only two of us, our words are naturally sweet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Actually, Master, I have an important report today, and I was looking for a place to stay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Big news?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I got a little defensive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not a good story, is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"On the contrary. It's very good news.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What the hell was that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did Serafina's father win big?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Serafina puffed her cheeks out in a deliberate manner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's between the Master and me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, naturally, the answer was narrowed down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No way, no way. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're having a baby?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Grinning, Serafina nodded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Good for you, Serafina!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I immediately hugged Serafina.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was a little worried that I had no heir. But now my fears were put to rest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Will it be a boy or a girl?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How can I know yet? But either way, I'm going to raise him in such a way that he won't be embarrassed when he becomes king. I believe that the Master will be king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, you're right. I won't be satisfied with just one province."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll end this war-torn era with my own hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my mid-teens, I used to dread the possibility of dying in a war. The only way to prevent people from suffering such misery is for someone to reunite the kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it will take several major wars to do so, but I will do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm not going to end up a lord of one province.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, Serafina will have to rest for a while. Take good care of yourself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not uncommon for women to die in childbirth. Giving birth is a risky business.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't worry. I am a saint by profession. I'm sure my baby will be blessed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm worried about Serafina's body, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We'll have to get them all to pray at the county temple later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But we can't worry about that now. Now is the time to rejoice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll let the chief minister know right away. I'll let them know right away so that they don't cause Serafina too much trouble. ............ Well, speaking of important ministers, I'll let them know ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　First I thought of Laviala's face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm definitely happy to have a child, but when I tell him, it's a bit of a subtle guess. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have not had a child with Laviala for a long time. I don't know how true it is, but there is a story that it is hard to have children if you have elven blood in you. I wonder if it is because elves are young for a longer period of time compared to humans, and therefore, they are not able to have children as much as humans do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, I must say something. Let's call Laviala.
