I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

91 – Economic Sanctions

A New Champion—Landau is known.

In , It actually happened only after I was in the 3rd grade.

The same came out when Princess Arianna called him to the palace.

However, the outcome of the ceremony was completely different.

The game story ends in a warm atmosphere.

At least the king won’t blush.

‘Ariana won’t stay still….’

A person who will stop at nothing to obtain the throne.

I said everything to the point of tracking the actions of a human hero from 500 years ago to win the competition with Benedetta.

I was thinking about what to do while sitting on the round sofa in the living room of the villa.

“I think Mr. Lando is also really great. You were openly criticizing the kingdom there.”

Said Caitlyn, who sat next to me.

I asked lightly while laughing.

“Are you complimenting other men besides me?”

“Huh?! Ah, Yanya, something like that!!”

“Just kidding.”

“Isn’t a joke too mischievous?!”

Caitlyn pouted her lips.

I stroked his hair and gave him a small kiss, which relieved my pain.

“Everyone, have some tea… !”

“It is hot, so be careful.”

Lena and Luisa, wearing padlocked dog collars, set teacups on a table in the middle of the sofa.

Me, Eliane, Caitlyn, Benedetta and Delia all took a sip of the tea the two of them had served.

After moving into the villa, the housework was entirely done by the two maids.

Isabel cooks.

We also offered to help, but Luisa refused, saying that each person has their own role.

… I was a bit conservative in this area.

“Lena, stay here for a moment.”

“Yes… !”

I informed you of Lando’s declaration of bravery that took place a few days ago.

And I asked what we can do politically now.

Lena said “Umm… !!” She suddenly waved.

If there was a smartphone in this world, I wanted to take pictures every time.

Looking at it, it’s quite interesting.

“Move the republic… !”

“Shouldn’t it be assumed that it has already moved?”

By informing the public of the results of the newspaper in detail about Balbino.

Lena shook her head slightly and continued her words.

“I can make it move bigger… !”

She explained her plan in detail.

The Republic has yet to make an official apology to me for the case of Commander William.

The idea was to use this.

Caitlin listened to Lena’s explanation and nodded her head.

“I’ll schedule my appointment.”

“Yes.”

“Daily, when you say substitute, it’s a bit like that….”

Caitlin continued as she placed her hand on my thigh.

“I will compliment you at night… ?”

“Okay.”

It seemed that her libido had risen.

I did a lot the day before yesterday.

A day has passed.

She informed me that she had an appointment for lunch today.

I felt all over again how influential the Hoovers were to the politicians of the Republic.

Together with Louisa and Caitlin, I rode Lauris’s portal and moved to Tabin, the capital of the Republic.

It reminded me of what happened in this country.

“By the way, you still don’t know the whereabouts of Commander William, right?”

“Yes. It must have suddenly disappeared without a trace and you can’t even begin to find where to look for it.”

“I am afraid that the same thing will happen again….”

Louisa let out a small sigh.

She deserved it because she suffered as she ran away with me too.

I don’t even know if the main culprit, Captain William, is alive or dead.

Seeing Caitlyn’s expression, Luisa,

“Oh, I don’t blame Caitlyn. Anyway, since Isabel, the last member of the royal family, has no will at all, I know that at least the abdominal wallists will be quiet.”

I added it as if I was trying not to offend Caitlyn as much as possible.

Caitlyn gave a small laugh.

“Actually, I don’t want to go through that again.”

Even a republican wouldn’t like being chased by the Knights of course.

Leaving aside the life and death of Knight Commander William, as long as Isabel is on our side, there is no justification for the cliques.

Sometimes nothing fails like a struggle without a cause.

Caitlyn rode the prepared wagon to an upscale restaurant.

She stepped into her private room there.

There were already two middle-aged men in her room.

“”Hello.””

Two men got up from their seats and bowed to me.

They are the leaders of the ruling party and the main opposition party, respectively.

In fact, they were very influential figures in a republic with a two-party parliament.

Caitlyn, who got a lunch date with such big names in one day, was also amazing….

I held out my hand instead of nodding at them.

In this world, shaking hands is an etiquette between people of the same rank.

Of course, it was a mindset to impress them.

“I thought the son of the conservative Margrave of Jahe would be so daring.”

“The Marquis of Jahe seems to be changing as well.”

I shook hands with two people who seemed surprised by my behavior.

According to Caitlyn, it was understandable to some extent that high-ranking aristocrats of the empire or kingdom even had direct meetings with republican politicians who were commoners.

On the contrary, it is an opportunity to get acquainted with the key figures of the Republic, which is growing economically.

“I asked to meet you, so I will pay for lunch today.”

“No, it’s fine. I came as a guest, but I can’t ask the guest to pay.”

hahahaha, everyone in the seat sat down with a smile.

Me, Caitlyn and Louisa on the left side of the table, the two leaders on the right side of the table.

The waitress served an appetizer.

Eating little by little, we got to the point.

“To be honest, the last time I came to the Republic was the first time, and I didn’t expect to experience something like that.”

“Ah, hey, yes, as a republican, I feel ashamed.”

The leader of the opposition party replied in a puzzled voice.

Currently, the ruling party has a more democratic tendency and the opposition party pursues an authoritarian tendency.

The ruling party was also close to the victim, and the abbot party was close to such an opposition tendency, so the opposition party’s approval rating plummeted.

The leader of the ruling party carefully asked.

“Today, too, because of the official apology and compensation… ?”

“It’s not like that, but I personally want to ask the Republic.”

“Ah, yes….”

The Republic is indebted to me no matter what.

There was a coup by William Knight, but he wanted me in the name of the president of the ruling party.

The ruling party was another victim of Knight Commander William, but at the same time, it was also a perpetrator to me.

“Do you know what the hero gave in the kingdom?”

“Of course.”

My request was simple.

Respond to Lando’s words.

Of course, I didn’t mean to ask for a military attack.

That’s an impossible story no matter how much you owe me.

In the first place, because of the last coup, the Republic Army suffered heavy losses and has yet to recover.

“Then how do you want to participate?”

“I would like to be sanctioned economically.”

“Economically….”

There was a lot of specific talk.

The two party leaders made a careful decision because they should not affect their own industries.

Two things were decided.

The first is a significant increase in tariffs on imported goods from the kingdom.

The second is to ban the export of magic potions and their materials.

To be exact, it was a method of designating magic potions and their materials as strategic materials, and placing the kingdom in a country banned from exporting strategic materials.

In other words, the kingdom was no longer able to receive magic potions as well as various strategic materials from the Republic.

“Then, we don’t have to mention the past with this.”

“”Yes.””

Everything went according to Lena’s plan.

… As a result, it really helped that Benedetta treated her like her booty in her duels.

After lunch, we went back to Lauris.

I headed to the academy dormitory to talk to Lando about the agreement with the Republic.

Because even a hero deserves more justification when he says thank you for the measures taken by the Republic.

But Lando’s expression was unusual.

“What happened?”

“Ah, that….”

He told me the message he received from the kingdom a moment ago.

It was a very out of the blue story that his parents were enshrined in the palace.

“It’s a threat.”

“Right… ?”

They’re going to kill their parents.

Because I don’t care about the means and methods, I considered this line, but I really thought it would be executed.

If this happens, Lando can’t just sit still.

“Lando, would you like to go to the Empire with me from now on?”

“To the Empire?”

“In fact, I was proposed to by His Highness the Crown Prince before. Why don’t you come to the field trip of the Red Tide Knights during summer vacation?”

Send the hero Lando on a field trip to the Red Tide Knights.

As the crown prince, it’s actually a bigger political advantage than me.

Of course, it is not free.

“The Empire should also join us.”

***

Caprilia, the capital of the kingdom.

In the king’s office, Arianna bowed her head, her hands together in front of her like a scolded child.

“Economic sanctions against the republic. Empire also economic sanctions. How else can you do something like this?”

A hero participated in a field trip by the Red Tide Knights.

Then the crown prince made a statement himself.

Acknowledging and apologizing for knowing about the Celestina incident 10 years ago but remaining silent.

Along with that, he openly mentioned the fact that the kingdom actually held the hero’s parents as hostages.

In a situation where they had to unite around the warriors, they condemned the kingdom’s actions that caused serious conflict, and the Republic’s economic sanctions were equally enforced.

The king sighed.

“I was wrong to trust you.”

“Ah, Obama! Please trust me just one more time, just one more time.”

“Don’t you think I’ve already given you a lot of chances?”

“Isn’t Morro Garden just as good as it gets? I will make the best results for the kingdom.”

Now, like it or not, Arianna has become the de facto crown princess.

No matter how virtuous you are, you are human and you make mistakes.

The important thing was how to fix it when you made a mistake.

“I’ll give you one last chance. I don’t want you to just ask about the Celestina case. Take care of the return of the hero to the empire somehow.”

“Yes, Obama.”

Arianna swept her breasts and left her office.

She thought as she walked down the hallway.

For the hero Lando to participate in the field trip of the Imperial Red Tide Knights, it was not an idea that a commoner in the countryside would do.

Someone calculated behind the scenes politically.

There is only one human who can control Lando.

‘Joel de Jahe.’

A man who is friendly with the hero.

An agent reported that this man was likely involved in the passage of the Economic Sanctions Act against the Kingdom by the Republic’s parliament.

I wonder if it was Joel who made Lando give such a speech at the declaration ceremony in the first place.

The culprit behind everything is that man.

Thinking of that, Arianna naturally clenched her teeth.

It is virtually impossible to assassinate Landau, who is currently in the Empire’s Red Tide Knights.

‘I have to kill Joel.’

So you can roll the hero as you like.

Arianna immediately hung her note on her slip and sent it to her window.

She was a note to the Assassination Guild.
