"I’m sorry, I didn’t think you would sneak out on a date with your girlfriend, it seems that your mother is very angry..."
This princess of the fox clan seems to be apologizing very seriously and showing that she is sorry. But the smile in her eyes proves to otherwise...
"Don’t think I don’t know what you did on purpose!"
"hehehe~ Don’t be angry, I’ll make it up to you, look, my brother is too foolish to negotiate, if it wasn’t for my mother giving him the opportunity to acquire rits for the clan and the beast kingdom, she wouldn’t let him co..."
"But if he is not good at negotiations as you say, wouldn’t soone co to advise him and show him where his blind spots are?"
Then, this princess’s face rose, almost bringing her chin to the sky. Of course, I should have thought it through. Although she looks young and mischievous on the surface, this little girl wouldn’t co if her family didn’t trust her.
"That’s why I’m here, with , my brother, no matter how muscular brain he is, he will never be defeated in negotiations! Heh~"
"I thought so, you seem to be very smart and very good, are you negotiating procurent of dicines from my family’s industry?"
"Yep~ although we ca mainly through the Nombre de Cartas network, we have always wanted to... Hold on! smart child~"
"hehehe~ you noticed, then I have to admit that if you’re sowhat smart..." Obviously my words of praise were for to open my mouth, I still don’t understand why they must co and talk to my family about this communication network.
But all this ti I’ve had a suspicion that makes my back shudder and gives goosebumps. I can still see the smile and wink my aunt threw at .
Is the Letter Na network managed by my family, or worse, does my family own and create the Letter Na Network? Doesn’t it say that it was invented by a famous alchemist?
I thought that one of the noble families that I t at school was the owner and creator of this magical communications system, but it seems that the noble family at school was my sisters’ family, and obviously my family.
"You are very different from all the n of the human race, although I have to say that you dress the sa..."
I lowered my head to look at my clothes and rembered that I am now dressed in the outfit prepared by my mother, my face turned red instantly.
"I can’t help it..."
"hehe~ but you actually look really sexy~"
Afterwards, Huli took my arm, and we continued chatting as we walked through the various gardens of the house.
I learned about society in beast culture on the western continent. Although they don’t have the technology like human society, they have learned a lot from us, and today they are to apply for a permit and build a communications network by sparrows on the beast continent.
It seems that the Letter Na network is under the control of a noble family, but the contract expires this year.
The inventor of this alchemy was my grandmother, from whom Kharislava received all her inheritance as she was the only one who was interested in alchemy.
For one, unknown to , reason, my grandmother did not speak to my mother, it seems that there was a fight between a mother and her two daughters at so point when Vasilisa was born.
Even so, Vasi and Kharis are the ones who have had contact with grandmother, Sera and I have never had the opportunity to et her.
My mother never talked about it, nor does she talk about any grandfather, or grandmother partner of her mother, much less does she talk about the other side of my family, once I asked for a father, and she only said that he did not exist, and she did not want to talk about it, so I never ntioned this again.
Our family seems to be only of an only child, I have never seen a family tree of my family, but depending on if my family is descended from the Hero Queen, there should be more family branches, right?
But it seems that there was only one descendant per generation. At least until grandma, where she broke that rule and had two daughters, my aunt Kaleria, the oldest daughter, and my mother as the second daughter.
My family is so small that depending on the territory we govern, there is no one to take care of it, sending Aunt Odalis’s eldest daughter to take charge of the castle and the family lands. The grandmother is apparently neither in human territory nor on the continent now.
Since my grandmother had no one to help manage the communications network, she gave the rights to a noble family. Rights that will return ho, and there are envoys from the allied kingdoms who want to have the communications system that is simple, fast, and cheap in terms of energy.
After talking a lot sitting in one of the back gardens, where I usually practice, Maia ca to announce dinner to us.
"Thank you, Sister Maia, ~"
After Maia left, I got up carefully, as this skirt lifts up a lot...
"You treat your maid very well"
"Mm! More than maids they are part of the family; they have been with us since... since always!" For as long as I can rember, Aunt Odalis and her daughters have always been at ho serving us.
"I keep repeating it, you are very different from all the other n in the human kingdom, we have visited other families this ti and those who have sons are very spoiled, with very high self-esteem, believing themselves to be the most beautiful treasures in the world, and treating others badly, especially their servants..."
"That sothing like this cos from a naughty princess..."
"Hey~ I don’t treat people badly!"
"hehehe~ I know, let’s go inside the house..."
The rest of the dinner was quiet. Everyone eating in the large dining room, looking happy and that everything is fine. I imagine that the negotiations went well, and an agreent has been reached.
As we dismissed the envoys of the beast realm, Huli ca over to give a hug, but I could see out of the corner of my eye that he provoked my sisters with a look of defiance. Throughout the dinner, Vasi and Huli have spent ti giving each other fighting looks. But choose to ignore it like everyone else.
Later, when we saw the car leaving the village grounds, before my sisters spoke to , I followed my mother to her study.
"Mom, can we talk?"
"Sure love, tell ~"
My mother, who knew I was following her, sat down in her desk chair and looked at with her elbows on the desk and her hands clasped together.
"Can you tell that you negotiated with the Beast Kingdom?"
"Honey, you don’t have to worry about these things, your mom, , will take care of this..."
"Mom~ you know that I am very good at this, you have educated yourself, and I have helped you in many things, so unreliable am I for you~"
Using the sa technique as always, tenderness, with sweetness, flattery and so pity, I attacked my mother with my bright eyes. Looking into her eyes without taking her eyes away.
" Don’t give that look. Of course, I know that my son is the best and most reliable~ ains~ ok, co sit down"
Mom patted her thigh and told to sit down. Even though she said he treats the best and most trustworthy, she obviously still treats like a little kid... but that she agrees to show the negotiations and talk to about it is already a gain... I can only act like a daughter asking her father, the CEO of the company, for the company’s files.
"Look honey, this is the draft of what we negotiated today with the eldest prince..."
Mom began to tell everything and to show on the parchnt about treaties and agreents, profits, paynts, labor.
I would have liked to have a bachelor’s degree in business administration in my previous life, but my limited knowledge tells that this deal is very good. There are no losses for the family and the fox family will take care of all the construction expenses.
I don’t really know anything about how this magical network of Letter Nas works, but there must be sothing that maintains the connection between all the feathers and the system of sending sparrows back and forth as soon as possible. I always see that the sparrow that I invoke with my feather, after flying a little, disappears when it reaches a height, as if it enters water, just like when a sparrow is sent to , the few tis I see the sky and a sparrow appears, it is as if it cos out of water, creating waves around it.
"Mom, is it true that this system was invented by grandma?"
"Who told you that?"
"The princess told that they ca because the contract with the Chasa family is about to expire, will our family take control of the network or let the Chasa family continue?"
"You get along well with that princess..." Mom sounded annoyed and her free right hand tapped the table with her fingers.
"... we get along well with the Chasa Family, your grandmother left the communication system to them because they are reliable. So, they will continue to manage the Letter na network, but the Chasa family does not have the power to manage such a large network..."
"So? What agreent did they reach with the Beast Kingdom?"
"It’s what we’re still thinking about with your aunt, we also received the visiting letters from the Dwarven kingdom and the elves. And although the demon realm has its own system, but it is very expensive, so they also want to have a network Letter Na, not counting the letters where those from the water kingdom and the elentals express their desire.
Also, the network can only hold several feather holders, or the entire system will go down if there is an overwhelming number of Letters. Your grandmother only left us a big problem.... Pfff"
"ehnmmm... Are there many drawbacks?" as a cutting-edge technology, it is obvious that there are people who do not want to share their technologies. The Chasa family is a second-tier family, but if you control the Letter Nas network, they can stand next to the first-tier families in opinions and voice.
If there are many letters, will it beco saturated and collapse? But can’t that be fixed by putting more servers? And the issue of who to give control to, isn’t it simply licensing by territory? Let the Chasa family continue to control the human territory with a license, that way they will not be angry about taking away their power.
Leaving the fox family the license in their territory, I understand that the beast continent has many secluded cities and tribes, unlike the humans and elves who have their settlents united and are relatively close to the capital. So, each beast race can have a license in its territories.
The aquatic n, do they live at the bottom of the sea? Is it Atlantis? And what about the elentals? I don’t know the elentals! What are they, where are they, how do eat?
"Mom, although I don’t know how to build a Letter Nas network and how it is maintained, it is not easy and would solve all the problems by licensing each zone and giving the license to an administrator? This way, each zone will have its own Letter Na Network Server service, and with many administrators, the network will not go down and will support all users."
"Licenses, Users, Administrator, Server? Son, sotis you invent unknown words..."
"hehehe~ it’s because there are no words to express so I invent them and give them aning, license ans that..."
"Mm~ I understand, in this way, the Corinth family is the final controller of the Letter Na Network, the others have a permit that allows them to manage the Network, and they have to put their own money and personnel to build and maintain the Network, and we just sit back and receive money...
Son, honey, sotis I feel like you’re evil, you did the sa thing a couple of years ago with the administrative system of the pharmaceutical and herbal dicine cultivation company."
"Mom, it’s all for the family. ahnmm~ Mom don’t kiss suddenly umm~"
