For people in the Middle Ages, the way to increase financial resources was to plunder by force or plunder through business, but no one ever thought about increasing the efficiency of production. This is the biggest difference from modern society.
"...I understand, it turns out to be technology."
Reinhardt took a deep breath. He had always thought that although the other party had the ability to make Grunica prosperous, he only needed to give wealth. However, he could not imagine the meaning of doing so, so he worried that this was just for future plunder and oppression. Bait, now I know that what they gave me was technology.
"Your Highness Shen Fu, can you promise that everything you say will be turned into actual actions?"
Success! Shen Fu felt happy. From the last conversation, he knew that what Reinhardt valued was not the nobles or the royal family, but the people of the kingdom.
"I swear on my Chinese honor that I will definitely fulfill my promise and give Grunica prosperity far better than the current situation."
With a solemn expression, this is not something difficult to achieve. Even if it is just to bring the people's life here to the average level of modern people, it can be said to be far beyond the current situation.
"In that case——"
Reinhardt took off his sword. It was not the one he used every day, but the dragon sword that represented the identity of the contemporary sword master - Red, and stood it and the scabbard in front of him, kneeling on one knee. on the ground.
"I swear in the name of the Sword Master that from today on, I, Reinhard Van Astrea, will serve as your lord, obey my lord's orders, and dedicate courage, wisdom, and force."
Yes, this is the real pledge of allegiance, huh? Wait, what's going on?
Shen Fu looked dumbfounded at Reinhardt who was half-kneeling in front of him. It was true that Felt was standing behind him, but this oath of allegiance seemed to be directed at him?
"Reinhard...Felut is the one who will become the king."
He had no idea why this would be the case. What Shen Fu had always wanted was to make Reinhardt truly loyal to Felt. Just like in the original work, shouldn't Felt be his choice?
"Yes, if His Highness Felut can have her own will to change this country, then she will be my choice, regardless of the royal blood. I believe she will bring different changes to this country - but now, you are the one People who can truly bring prosperity to this country, I once said, I don’t care who my allegiance is or where I come from.”
Reinhardt still maintained the posture of holding the sword, but Shen Fu had already understood what he meant. Their appearance had brought too many changes to Felt. The current Felt was not as good as the one in the original work. Because he hates the dark side of the kingdom and wants to destroy everything that exists, but only wants to grasp the happiness given by China.
"I accept your allegiance, Reinhardt."
Slowly pressing his palm on the sword, he could feel the vibration of the dragon sword - following the will of its master.
"Huh? So, this guy is no longer my knight? Does that mean he doesn't have to stay here anymore?"
Felt had been watching blankly from the beginning, and it wasn't until this moment that she seemed to realize what was happening, but she was overjoyed at the first moment. She had had enough of this completely undealable knight living in her house. He always forces her to learn things she doesn't want to learn.
Reinhardt stood up from the ground with a wry smile on his face. He was not completely unable to correct Felt's judgment, but he was unable to do so.
——It is precisely because he clearly understands that the current life is what Felt has always dreamed of, and his character determines that he cannot use other means to make her change and make her bear her heavy wish.
"No, he is still your first knight and your supporter in participating in the king's election."
Shen Fu shrugged. Even if Reinhardt was loyal to him, he could not be allowed to become the king, because that would mean being an enemy of the entire Grunica Kingdom and the inevitable war. Therefore, this loyalty was equivalent to He exchanged himself for Shen Fu's promise to Grunica.
However, no matter what the process was like, in terms of the result, Reinhardt was truly on their side.
"Harut, well, I will call you Harut from now on. You don't have to call me my lord. We don't like this kind of calling. Just call me chief? Still can't do it. It feels weird. Just call me by name, and we will hold a welcome party in the evening to welcome you and let you feel more about our cultural habits."
Shen Fu patted Reinhardt on the shoulder. He was not very interested in knights and allegiance, and he didn't quite understand it. However, he was certain that the other party could be trusted after they pledged their allegiance. Why, because he It's Reinhardt.
"Follow your orders"
Reinhardt stared blankly at the smiling face of the man he swore allegiance to. When he first saw him that day, he never thought that he would be here today. Was this all guided by fate?
"Let's go, let Felute come with us. Well, I still need to go to Emilia's place to pick up Betty, so I'll call them too."
Looking at the sky, I realized that it was already getting close to night before I knew it. I had solved two major things just after I came back, and I was still in a very happy mood.
However, this happy mood did not last long, because soon, at the welcome party for Reinhardt, he noticed that Emilia seemed a little unhappy.
Let me go, what are you doing? Emilia is also one of the king's chosen ones. Doesn't it mean that I have directly expressed my support for Felt now?
"Emilia, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing?"
Pretending to move over casually, Shen Fu felt like a shy boy who used the worst words to talk to the girl he liked.
"Brother, it's not just that we haven't seen each other for a while, you have completely forgotten about our daughter."
Before Emilia could speak, Parker, who was clutching a skewer, spoke first, squinting his eyes and looking at Shen Fu with evil intentions.
"Absolutely nothing! I've been thinking about Emilia all the time."
How could it be possible to admit at this time that although Shen Fu is the type who doesn't care much about the family when he is busy, Emilia has not yet become a "family member"
Woolen cloth.
"Huh? What are you thinking about me for?"
It seemed that Shen Fu's words were a little too straightforward. Emilia's cheeks were slightly red and her eyes avoided looking at him.
"Because I'm a little worried. It won't be easy at the King's Selection Meeting."
Shen Fu's eyes slowly softened and he was a little apologetic. He knew clearly that Emilia would be targeted and discriminated against at the king's election meeting, but he did not give her any help or support.
