Chapter 64
chapter 64: New land
“Your Majesty, I am coming in . ”
After Edenstam left, a female guardsman opened the door and spoke to Olivia .
“Ahh, I am tired . ”
While receiving reports from the Imperial Guards, Olivia takes off her dress .
Her speech and behavior are totally different from the saint that appears in the myth . However, the Imperial Guard is not surprised because she is one of the few who know Olivia's true nature .
“Geez, I hope grandpa would not come so suddenly . ”
While complaining, Olivia takes out a bunch of paper that is stuffed under the bed . It is an unfinished story written by Olivia, who is neglecting political affairs . Even if it seems like this, she is one of the popular novelists on the public . “Her temporary form is a Queen who is hiding from the world . But her true appearance is a mysterious romance novelist Olive Olive” that is why Olivia always talks normally with the Imperial Guards .
“However, can you keep going like this forever?”
The Imperial Guard was worried about Olivia and gave advice, so she does not work too hard . However, without turning her eyes to the Imperial Guard, Olivia shakes one of her hands and said .
“I know, I know . I know it the best . I will not do anything unnecessary since it would not be funny if someone aims at my life . ”
The royal family has a short life span . Many people have been killed in their early days before they can accomplish anything . Olivia is familiar with it . Olivia herself had experience of being poisoned in the past .
Since the poison almost took her life, Olivia has lived in cowardice . By raising orphans who seems like they will not survive the next day, they become Imperial Guards to return her favor and will never betray her . Her meals are made by them . Since she became a queen, she does not get involved in any of the government affairs and left everything to Edenstam who is the most suited for this, as a result she doesn't have any political enemies . As a matter of fact, even though she can’t speak out beyond a certain degree, but she can’t leave it alone like this too .
‘If people come to learn about this, I should descend from the Queen position quickly’ she thought . However, that will not work . Her relatives in the inner palace are not able to do anything other than live in luxury . If they held the Kingdom, then the Kingdom's current situation will worsen . If a rebellion occurred, Olivia herself will be implicated by her relatives and will be executed together .
The Kingdom is already on its death bed . The national finances are extremely pitiful, and accordingly, the local feudal lords were strengthened . Even the once prosperous Dryad Kingdom will perish . However, what Olivia can only do now is try to delay the Kingdom's collapse slowly . Besides her responsibility as a Queen, Olivia needs to worry about her own life above all .
“Then, today, I will write more! The readers are waiting for my novel!”
To strike the anxiety and conflict in her heart, Olivia takes her brush and starts writing again today . Using a cheap paper, Olivia becomes a pioneer of the new profession of Novelist Queen . Someday she will become a famous literary in the literature circle .

Two carriages with hood left the Dryad Kingdom Imperial City Dorisben to the north . I am riding in one of them .
Let me describe a little bit about what has happened so far . After going through a tremendous distance, we arrived safely to the Dryad Kingdom from the Kingdom of Sandra . After I bought the territory in Dorisben, I became a noble of Dryad Kingdom . And now I am heading to the place where the wolf tribe is hiding before we set out toward my territory .
The coachman and escort of the carriage are people from wolf tribe who covered their body with a cloth to hide the fact that they are a beastman . Also, Elsa, who changed into traveling clothes, was riding in the carriage .
“This place is quite warm . The temperature is nice and cool . I would never have thought we are in summer . ”
Elsa who is sitting in the front muttered while looking outside from the raised curtain . In response to that voice, I look at Elsa . Elsa still looking at outside views .
“Yeah”
Without paying attention, my eyes were pinned at the front . Elsa's face from the side is quite beautiful . I am fascinated .
Thinking about it, Elsa's figure in the dress and behavior that I saw back in Dorisben made my heart skip a beat . She is like a young lady from somewhere . I think the word ‘Beautiful’ is well matched to a woman like her .
While I imagined her figure at that time, I look at Elsa who is in front of me .
Then, Elsa, who seems to have noticed my gaze turned her face towards me . I reflexly turned to the side . At the moment when I turned, I thought ‘That was close!’ . Thinking about it, I feel like my behavior is like a little kid and regretted it . Aah, I understand . From the corner of my eyes, Elsa is grinning .
“What is it, no need to be shy, you can take a look for as long as you like you know? Since there is a beautiful girl right in front of you, it is something natural . I myself am aware of it . It is the fate of a beautiful girl . ”
Elsa laughed while teasing me . Accordingly, the wolf tribe tries not to look towards this place . It’s embarrassing . I felt my face get hotter . Even so, I can’t think that she is the same person as the one in Dorisben . Somehow, she became unrefined .
“Hmm . . . . I see . . . . Fujiwara-san has also become a victim of my beauty . I am really a sinful woman . ”
Elsa starts to praise herself with a smug face . It is true that I am charmed while looking at her, but when she kept talking about it, it's annoying . I think like I should retort back a little bit .
“ . . . . . . Small wrinkles”
[ED: *facepalms*]
I mumbled . When my muttering reaches her, she seems to understand what I meant . Elsa's face became tense .
“ . . . . . I became worried because there is a fine line next to Elsa's eyes . ”
“Wha!?”
A surprised voice comes out from Elsa's mouth . At that time, the wolf tribe gaze moved to Elsa's eyes .
“Wh, what are you saying! A beautiful girl like me does not have any wrinkles!!”
Elsa angry voice echoed through the peaceful plain . Her face becomes red, like the color of her hair . ‘Alright, I have retorted back’ As for me I am full of satisfaction . Rather, what is a beautiful girl? You are already over twenty years old .
After that, Elsa, who is angry eventually no longer opened her mouth . Thinking about it, it was awful . I decided to give a skin lotion and ask for forgiveness later .
The carriage comes out from the highway and moves towards a trackless path . There are no signs of people around . Eventually, when they came upon a shadow of the hill, several people start to appear . They are the wolf tribe people who were hiding here . Of course, Mireille is also here .
“How is it?”
Mireille asked when I got off the carriage .
“Aah, we were able to purchase the territory without a problem . Now I have become a member of the nobility . ”
“With this, I will finally be able to fulfill my role . ”
I took out the sheet of parchment proudly, and Mireille nodded satisfied .
We wait until the night before we switch from the carriage to vehicle and leave . Elsa and Mireille part away when it is bright . Elsa does not have leisure time either . Since he finished what had to be done, she had to get back to her business as soon as possible . Mireille followed as Elsa's escort . She also had to report it to the castle . No, perhaps it is out of consideration . I was avoiding using my ability in the public . When I build the town, I cannot let them see what I can do with it . Perhaps she is aware of what I hate, and that there is no way to look at the details of how my ability works, and that is why she returned? That is what I thought .
At the time of parting, I handed a skin lotion to the two of them . And then Elsa got angry . It seems like she thought I was insinuating her wrinkles . When I apologized and said I did not plan to do so, she received it — followed by Mireille .
[TL: SK-II is a good skin care product . ]
The car goes through the darkness of the night . Before long we entered my territory――Fujiwara territory, we headed towards the opposite side where the human village is located . The first thing is to create a new town that will be our base .
The human village should be managed by a human . Apart from the current village, I will make a hidden village, a wolf tribe town . From Mireille's knowledge as a soldier and Elsa's shrewd knowledge as a merchant, he had already chosen a place . There is a place where he would build a new town .
After entering my territory, I do not need to worry about other people's eyes . We move under the bright sunshine . However, in order not to leave a wheel track, the vehicles were driven on the grass surface as much as possible . After passing through the big forest, there is a river blocking their way, so he [Purchase] [Bridge] and then [Sell] it later .
It is something I thought . In the northern part of the Dryad Kingdom, there are many plains in this continent . Dragon’s horn . If it is in the previous world, this would be Denmark .
I investigate a little bit about Denmark during the breaks . Despite the fact that its location is further north than Hokkaido, Japan in latitude wise, the climate is quite mild . Even though it is quite cool in summer, it is not too cold when it is winter . It is said that it is because of the warm current flowing along the coast .
Then what about this world? I have heard the story in Dorisben . There is no change in the summer because it is quite cool . However, it is said that it is very cold in winter . The map shows there is a mountain range painted along the coast . Perhaps this mountain range was blocking the warm air coming from the sea .
A mountain is generally something that is referred to as a land that is at least 200 meters higher than the surrounding area . In Denmark, there are only flats of land with nothing that can be called a mountain . However, in this world . It would be that .
Finally, we located our destination . It is a Hill situated between the east and north . With a big forest in the south . Even if I build a town here, it can’t be seen from the surrounding area . Stopping the vehicle, I instructed everyone to disembark .
“Is it here?”
Chief Jiharu asked . When Mireille and Elsa were still around, he did not talk too much and only spoke when it was necessary . I wonder if the Chief is trying to be careful .
“Yes, that is right . ”
I answered with formal speech . Even now, I still using a formal speech when I speak to Chief Jiharu . It has become something natural .
After some times, all of the wolf tribes finally came down from the car and started looking around . Of course, there is still nothing by grass spreading everywhere . The wolf tribe people are puzzled . It does not feel real when I said this is our destination .
But, for me, I had a thought that ’we are finally here’ . It has been a long journey since we left the old town . We will start over again here .
Thinking about my purpose, it is to live a modern and lazy life in this world .
It is still the same, even now . However, currently, I have a strong feeling to make them, who did not betray me, happy .
I have a vision . When I thought about the failure in the previous town, it is evident that the problem was only me alone who reigned over them . For example, if I am the mayor, there are no officers under me, that is why each tribe lived their life with some autonomy right .
Whether I have the capacity or not, I need to restrict it . This time, I will walk together with them as a partner and nurture it . I need a companion who has the same vision for the town . That is why I――
“I think I will let them see it . ”
I summoned [Town Data] and operate it . Then, the mud starts to rise up in front of me . A town is being created .
“Ooh . . . . ”
A voice of admiration comes out from Chief Jiharu . The noisy sound created by Wolf Tribe was being covered by the sound of mud rising up slowly .
