157 Episode 29 Silk and Tea (1/2)

Huh, huh, huh. ...... can't do it anymore either.

Cecilia put her hands on her knees and exhaled wildly.

Sweat drips from her beautiful silver hair, runs down her cheeks and chin, and soaks the ground.

A beautiful woman is beautiful even when she's covered in sweat, Hercule thought.

No, no, you've only run five laps. You have to run another five laps.

No, I need to rest. ......

You're too soft for that, aren't you?

Cecilia gulped down the water she had received from Near.

Nia told her to refrain from drinking too much because it would make her stomach hurt later.

”Hmm, this water is sweet.

”It's the water His Majesty designed for exercise. Right?

Yeah. It's lemon water with sugar and salt. Not bad, huh?

When we sweat, we lose not only water but also electrolytes such as salt.

It is a well-known story.

It's dangerous if you don't make them rehydrate properly, because weak people like Cecilia will claim to be fine and suddenly collapse.

”Did you finish your break?　Come on, five more laps.

”Oh, my God, Hercule, please help me!

Five rounds isn't that much. Come on.

Hercule waved Cecilia off as Near dragged her along.

In addition, Nia's lesson is not as easy as just running.

According to Nia, there are push-ups, sit-ups, back-ups and squats waiting for you after this.

She also plans to teach some self-defense techniques.

She's also going to teach her some self-defense techniques.

He's a bit of an S word to everyone but me.

Hercule thought of his s*xual activity with Nia.

It was not bad at all to see how he was willing to do anything for Hercule, but ......

The current Nia, who is torturing Cecilia, looks more radiant.

(Let's have a catfight.)

No doubt Cecilia will lose.

Cecilia will lose, and Nia will take advantage of her.

Hercule couldn't help but smile as he pictured Nia torturing Cecilia and Cecilia being tortured.

After observing Cecilia's training, they went to the audience hall.

A few moments after Hercule sat on the throne, the guest of the day entered the audience hall.

Hearing the report from that person, Hercule nodded in satisfaction.

”Good, you have done well. Giuliano Branca.

”Thank you for the compliment.

Juliano Branca, the president of the brotherhood, bowed to Hercule.

In fact, the president of the brotherhood had a secret mission from Hercule.

It was to propagate Messianism in the East, to establish a base and to ......

The mission was to preach messianism in the east, establish a base, and then secretly steal the silk manufacturing method and the chanoki tree from the eastern countries.

The silk was not easy to steal, as it was an important strategic material for the eastern countries.

However, thanks to the efforts of Giuliano and his monks, they succeeded in stealing the silk production method, silkworms, and mulberry.

Now we can produce silk and tea in our country.

Of course, the know-how of the countries in the East was far superior to ours, and we would be able to produce only inferior products at first.

However, it is still a big step for us to be able to produce and export these products at home.

If you were my vassals, I would have given you a huge reward, and if you were not a mendicant order, I would have donated money and land to you. ......

It is enough for me to say that. ...... If possible, we would appreciate your further support.

Yeah, I know.

You can't give money or land, but you can give money indirectly. ......

For example, it is possible to waive fees for some public facilities, to rent a permanent base of operations, or to lend a boat or horse.

For the brotherhood, missionary work is a God-given task.

For the brotherhoods, missionary work is a God-given mission. It's a win-win situation, as Hercule can keep the cost of missionary work low and the brotherhoods can concentrate on missionary work without any inconvenience.

”By the way, Your Majesty, rumor has it that you and High Priestess Medium are on very good terms.

”Is it a problem that the Emperor of Lemuria and the High Priestess Medium are on good terms?

When Hercule said this, the head of the brotherhood frowned.

No, we are happy for you. It is in God's will that the sacred and the profane work together to further the development of the Messianic world. However, I would like to ask you to keep ...... in moderation.

Apparently, the head of the brotherhood was not too happy about Hercule and Cecilia having a corrupt relationship.

So, for the sake of Cecilia, Hercule will tell her a lie.

You seem to have misunderstood something, but Cecilia and I do not have a sleazy relationship. We are, of course, very close.

”...... Are you sure?

Then you should check with Cecilia.
