Chapter 177 (1/2)

177. Confusion 2

“What did you say!” (the King)

The king slumped on his seat after hearing the reports from his subordinate.

”The update from the Rephilia Trade is, just as usual, [we are still unable to reach her]. And from Marquis Mitch.e.l.l is…” (the subordinate)

”He was finally able to get in touch, but he angered the other party and parted herself from him, huh…” (the King)

”Right. And the cause of their worsening relationship is…” (the Subordinate)

”Because he took an overbearing att.i.tude in order to make sure that she couldn't refuse to have an audience with me, there's no way I can get angry at him…” (the King)

The king, too, on top of that he had made a huge mistake in dealing with Mitsuha, the instruction he sent is also ended in a failed attempt, far from executing that instruction, it caused the Marquis to lost the mutual trust and interest which he had built up with Mitsuha until then. Rather than get angry, apologize should come first.

”Well, Viscount Yamano has just returned. And she just went to greet Marquis Mitch.e.l.l first. Next, she will drop by Rephilia Trade, the Bank, or her other acquaintances. Don't panic. If it's through the Rephilia Trade, and if we pay close attention to the wordings, she will not refuse it unilaterally. Now isn't the time to panic. … But I did something wrong for Marquis Mitch.e.l.l. I have to think of something for the compensation…” (the King)

”Eeeeehh!! Mitsuhsama, you have a fight with Marquis Mitch.e.l.l!?” (Rephilia)

”Yeah. If you don't get angry at such underestimating att.i.tude, you will sully the women's dignity!” (Mitsuha)

”You should've just put up with it!” (Rephilia)

I dropped by Rephilia's place to tell her that I have officially returned here, and she was surprised when she heard that I have a discord with Marquis Mitch.e.l.l. …what an exaggeration.

”It's not an exaggeration! It's a marquis, you hear, Marquis!! Even a power of 100 viscounts is incomparable with a Marquis!!” (Rephilia)

”Ah~, well, that is if [I'm a viscount of this country]” (Mitsuha)

”Ah…” (Rephilia)

Rephilia calmed down a little… but only a little.

Right, rank difference is absolute between the n.o.bles in this country. The involvement of other n.o.bles, great factions, royal palace, and great merchants. There's a difference in political power, financial power, personal connections, and other powers.
