Survival Strategy for Weak Territories! ~ My Territory Will Be Destroyed No Matter How Many Times It Is Repeated. How Can This Be Saved? ~

sed the investment ratio adjustment with the Boss before we came here.”

“You’ve already predicted this huh.”

“The development of the silver mine is essential for us after all.
I’ve memorized the outline of what we discussed earlier so please allow me to write it down for you.”

This time, Trek came forward instead and wrote down the amount of money each company would invest in the territory.

Even though it was on the verge of collapsing, since the Thrud company is also a long-established company, this development can be said to be natural.

In the first place, the Thrud company wouldn’t be on the verge of collapsing if not for their competition with the Marquis.

In truth, the Thrud company was quite powerful but it also has a lot of weaknesses.
That must be why Trek was the first target of Marquis Laguna’s hostile takeover.

While Klein was thinking to himself, Trek finished writing down the proposal.

“Please confirm the number, My Lord.”

“…….Right, let’s see.”

When he took a look, the content was the same as what he read last time.

The development up to this point seems to be the same so Klein decided to proceed in the same way as well.

“Good.
We will go with this.”

“Do you not wish to negotiate the share, My Lord?”

“From what I saw, you’ve already put in a reasonable share for me right.
I’m sure that this will be profitable for all of us so please do work hard for me.”

There is no problem with the investment proposal itself and the talk is easily finished.

Rather, since Klein is more worried about the meal that will be served after this, he’s steeling himself for it.

“As expected of Klein-sama.
You surely are bold.”

“Perhaps you can make such a decision so easily because of how young you are?”

“Well, you can rest assured that you are not dealing with a short-sighted second-rate lord here.”

“Haha, that certainly sounds reassuring.”

Klein is now in a position that can give and take away major privileges.
That’s why he is no stranger to conspiring, bribery, or back-door deals.

Still, he remains within the extent that is permitted by common business practice and never touches anything illegal.

——–needless to say that he would never resort to assassination.

While determined to find the culprit, Klein put up a smile.

“Come to think of it, I’ve recently obtained a good painting.
I think that it will suit your mansion very well, My Lord.”

“If that’s the case then please take this pottery from our company as well.
It’s one of the masterpieces that was made in the north.”

“Sure, I will gladly accept then.”

The gifts are the same as last time.

Since each of them brought their own trade goods, it’s unlikely that they would change that.

In the end, after clearing the room, the food and alcohol were brought in.

“…..Well, anything to survive.”

Klein decided to repeat what he did last time and drank the alcohol poured into the wooden cup in one go.

Recently, the quality of goods that are circulating within his territory is increasing and the taste of alcohol and food inside his territory has improved a lot.

Still, they might be poisoned.

With that in mind, they merrily proceeded with the business negotiations.

That night.

“Mm, my stomach is acting up.”

“Are you okay? Klein-sama.”

“Yeah, the food was so delicious so I think I may have eaten a little too much.
I’m going to turn in a little early today, you can leave me, Marie.”

“If you feel worse please call for me okay?”

Klein grumbles as he sees Marie.

Klein decides to see what happens if he does not take the stomach medicine he received from Trek at lunch.

“I hope that it’s just a normal stomach ache but…….ahh, if I have to start over, please let it be from April.”

Last time, Klein wished to go back to the time he got something done.

However, this time he stated his wish to return to April before climbing into his bed.

——and just like that, he entered an eternal slumber.

 

 

Kingdom Calendar Year 500, August 22nd.

The history of House Asgard came to an end due to the family head’s sudden illness.

The Asgard territory will later be transferred to be under the Royal Family’s direct control.

 

TLN: Yup, another death back to back.
