Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

69. Golden Lion (3)

The day after Irina was summoned to the imperial court.

Fortunately, no particularly bad news came back from her.

Thanks to you, I can now live a leisurely daily life again with peace of mind.

“I think I’ll buy something now.”

It’s been a while since I patrolled as a defense engineer.

The Thorman clan and the eastern knights who cultivated the garden were also well educated.

After finishing my morning routine.

I left my back and visited the market leisurely.

To prepare for ‘retirement’, which I had not been able to do before.

In fact, if I had to pick the happiest day since I returned, it would be today.

Because right now, inside me….

Because I have a territory permit and a check for 10,000 gold.

A fiefdom permit can only be received by those with great merit among nobles or the heads of families.

And, 10,000 gold is the price of one mansion.

Currently, I can actually be seen as being in the same state as a high-ranking noble.

A perfect financial situation that I could not have imagined in my previous life.

This is the secure life I wanted.

“Okay then, where should we invest?”

The first place I headed to with a happy heart was the seedling store.

I entered the store and approached the display stand I had looked at yesterday.

And, I checked to see if there were any watermelon seedlings.

But.

All the watermelon seedlings that were plentiful until yesterday have disappeared.

“What…?” ?”

Thought it was strange, I looked at the counter.

Then, a middle-aged merchant approaches from afar.

“Are you looking for watermelon seedlings?”

He was usually harsh, but today he asked me in a kind voice.

“Yes, are they all sold out?” ?”

“Yes, it was all sold out this morning.”

This means that an individual purchased all of the seedlings.

I furrowed my eyebrows at those words.

“Usually, shouldn’t we sell all the seedlings to one person?”

If an individual purchases all of a certain crop, he or she can monopolize it and raise the price.

So it is implicitly prohibited, so what kind of situation is this?

“hehehe…”

The merchant responded to my question by raising the corners of his mouth wide.

Like being liberated from all the pain in the world.

“I didn’t like it either, but he charged 10 times the price.”

A middle-aged merchant who, until yesterday, was very rude and unfriendly to customers.

Today, a brilliant halo came down from behind me, as if I were a high-ranking priest.

‘I wonder if this guy became kind because he earned money… ?’

I couldn’t help but laugh at that sight.

“No, who buys a watermelon for 10 times the price?”

“That’s right, the buyer is from the West and seems to have a lot of money.”

West of the capital.

A neighborhood where the richest upper class in the empire lives.

Is it true that they plan to monopolize even the high-quality fruits there?

They already have a lot, but they are truly greedy.

“Then, when will the next seedlings arrive?”

When I asked, the merchant slowly shook his head.

And he responded with a kind smile that was reminiscent of a saint.

“I don’t think there will be anything to give you even if you come in. “I signed an exclusive contract with him.”

‘That’s right. ‘I became kinder after making money.’

I looked at him with a rotten expression.

Then, he sighed and left the seedling store.

‘I’m going crazy, this is the only place in Northon that sells imported seedlings…’ .’

Yes.

Anyway, large-scale cultivation is still a story of the distant future.

Let’s buy the most important land first.

There are many crops other than watermelon.

I took steps towards the highlight of the day.

And then I visited the real estate that senior Miya recommended.

“Are you there? “This is Bale Mikhail, who I was supposed to see you today.”

“Welcome, Lord Bale. “I was waiting.”

Because my senior had given me a tip in advance, the broker familiarly guided me to the sofa.

“What kind of property did you come to see? “A honeymoon home?”

“Newlywed home?”

“My Miya asked me to take care of you. “Aren’t you looking for a place for the two of you to live?”

The broker said, pointing to the list of newlywed homes spread out on the table.

“No, I just came to see the land. Even though I am a senior, I am not a lover….”

A broker was disappointed to hear that they were not lovers.

He immediately apologized and smiled sheepishly.

“Ahahahaha… I’m sorry. “There was a misunderstanding.”

“No, that’s possible.”

If Miya had been in this position, she would have perked up like a cat.

When she imagined that scene, she couldn’t help but snort.

“Okay, how much land do you need?”

“We need to build a farm and a mansion, so I hope it’s spacious enough.”

Accepting the Thorman clan.

It would have to be quite large to have a training facility for the Eastern Knights.

“If it’s a farm, climate is important. “What about the East?”

“I think it will be difficult there because it is so far away from work. “I want to go to the north if possible.”

The man frowned after hearing what I said.

And, he answered with a troubled expression.

“I’m sorry, but there won’t be land of that size in the north right now….”

“Yes… ? “If you look at yesterday’s newspaper, there were three places.”

I said, showing the newspaper I had brought with me.

However, even after seeing that, the broker firmly shook his head.

“It may be hard to believe, but someone from the West bought it all this morning.”

The West again?

That too this morning?

I feel like everything I wanted to do is being preempted.

My eyebrows naturally furrowed at that strange discomfort.

“Who is the buyer?”

“I’m not sure because I didn’t deal with it myself.”

The broker looked closely again to see if there was any land left.

However, no matter how hard we searched, there was no land left in the north.

“But seeing as they’re from the West, they’re probably upper class.”

“Ha….”

Upper class nobles do not easily give up the land they have purchased.

Since there is plenty of room to sell it, there is a high possibility that it will be sold at a leisurely pace with the price multiplied several times.

My heart suddenly feels tight.

“Just wait and see. “I will look for land as close to the price you suggested as possible.”

The broker approached the birdcage by the window.

Then, he checked one by one all the western districts that brought new information.

“Let’s see…” . Huh? “This is my first time seeing this kid.”

A real estate agent who has worked in real estate for 20 years and has used various search engines.

He tilted his head when he saw a particularly luxurious, white-looking pigeon.

“Just looking at it, it looks like it came from the West.”

As expected from a wealthy village, even Jeonseo-gu is luxurious.

The broker took out a note addressed to that guy.

And….

While reading the text with her eyes wide open, she was taken aback by the incredible information.

“Bye, Lord Bale…” ?”

“Yes, what’s going on?”

I looked at the broker with wide eyes.

Then, with trembling fingers, he showed me the contents of the note.

“Look at this! “It looks like the land you were looking for has finally arrived!”

The broker pointed to a newly arrived piece of warm land.

And the location of the land is….

West of the Empire.

It was also the yolk land, famous for being the most expensive.

It is closest to the Western Imperial Palace.

A beautiful land with a huge lake nearby.

That land was available for just 5,000 gold.

“What is this?”

“What! “It’s a land of gold!”

I looked closely at the land the broker showed me.

The size is right and the price is right.

It was perfect, as if it had been prepared in advance for someone.

“Isn’t this a false listing?”

When I asked, the man shook his head with a stern expression.

He pointed with his finger to the real estate association seal engraved on the note.

“The association’s seal does not lie. “This is a real deal.”

The man took a deep breath as if he was excited.

However, I was very suspicious and asked him calmly.

“Why is such good land suddenly available at such a low price?”

After hearing my question, the broker put his hand on his chin and thought for a moment.

Then he shook the note he was holding and began to reason.

“Probably one of the two. I suddenly needed electricity….”

He brought a map of the western part of the empire.

Then, he pointed with his finger around the land that was for sale.

“I don’t have a good relationship with my neighbors.”

“Neighbors nearby?”

“Yes, the western part of the capital is a wealthy area, as you know. That’s why there are some nobles who have bad personalities.”

They are neighbors.

Well, if you think that Looper’s family is average to the nobility, it is a very likely guess.

But….

That is no problem at all.

If there is a problem between neighbors, it can be resolved through ‘talk.’

Like during Looper.

“How…” Would you like to go see it yourself?”

“If I go and like it, can I make a transaction right away?”

“That’s right, looking at the note, it says it’s possible at any time.”

If it is a great property as the broker says, someone will buy it first while you still think about it.

Like what happened today.

“Okay, make an appointment and I will go and judge.”

“Well thought out. “This land was sold at a really good price, so you won’t regret it.”

The broker approached Jeon Seo-gu from the West.

Then he bundled up a note containing a promise of a deal and sent it away.

“Then, let’s go first.”

“I hope that the transaction will be completed smoothly.”

We shook hands with each other.

And then, we parted ways, boarding the carriage called by the broker.

￣￣￣￣.

“I feel this every time I come, the neighborhood is very comfortable.”

I arrived in the western part of the empire in just two hours after getting on the carriage.

It took over 4 hours just to get to the eastern part.

As the western part of the country was the most famous wealthy area in the empire, the roads were well-built.

The road was very smooth.

If you only look at transportation, you’ve already passed.

When I got off the carriage, a fresh spring breeze welcomed me.

I followed the wind and quietly walked down the fir tree path.

“Ha.”

Are all the extravagant nobles like Looper living in such a comfortable place?

There was a magnificent fence at the end of the fir tree road.

And, in the middle of it all, a gorgeous Gothic-style gate welcomed me.

The front door was open.

Thanks to this, we were able to enter the land we had chosen to buy without any hindrance.

And that moment.

I was greeted by a wilderness so wide that all the discomfort I experienced today disappeared.

A lake flows around the vacant lot where the mansion will be built.

The land was fertile enough to be immediately cultivated into a vegetable garden.

Plus, the front yard is perfect for creating a training facility.

It was exactly the image of the estate I had dreamed of.

“As expected, I like the West….”

I was amazed and looked around the land I was planning to purchase soon.

Then, a platinum-colored mansion located nearby caught my eye.

“Is this my neighbor’s house?”

On the outside, it is a very quiet and small mansion.

There is also a garden and even a small fountain.

‘Just looking at the exterior of the building, it doesn’t seem like there will be any eccentric neighbors living there….’

I slowly approached the mansion with my back turned.

And then, I headed to the front yard to see what kind of person my future neighbors would be.

There was a parasol in front of the front yard.

And, there was a table and a luxurious chair placed under the parasol.

A teacup with steam rising.

She is a woman who holds that teacup elegantly.

I slowly approached behind her.

Then, I calmed my voice and tried to say hello to my future neighbor.

But, the moment she sensed that I was popular and turned her head.

I was speechless.

“Oh my.”

The neighbor of the land I decided to purchase….

Because she was the first princess of the empire, Leah.

“Lord Veil, isn’t it?”

A princess wearing a baggy dress shirt and slacks.

She looked at me and smiled.

“What are you doing at my villa?”

The princess’s brilliant golden hair fluttered in the spring breeze.

She said, tucking her hair over her ear.

“This entire area is my ‘private land’.”

Leah had a mature smile in her eyes.

Her half-closed eyes glowed blue in the shadows.
