Hearing this Alan wanted to sheathe his sword but I stopped him.

"Easy Alan, let him finish."

Listening to me, Elon begins to explain himself.

Maybe I don't explain myself well but for me the Edevan dukedom has great potential for trade, but since the roads to here are difficult to cross, also because of the discrimination few come to the human realm, I honestly can't think of anything more than a Waste.

Now I understand, if we talk about the Duchy with the largest number of Soldiers, it would be us, our military force has no comparison. After all, this Duchy borders with the Brand Kingdom and the Svetloba Empire, but we do not take advantage of the fact that we are a great place for the trade.

"I think the duke has all kinds of pressures but if he agrees to the dukedom trading with the Svetloba empire and the Brand kingdom, this dukedom could become very prosperous."

Listening to him I can only agree, I was concentrating too much on making my inventions that I forgot what I wanted to do with them, initially my inventions would revolutionize the world, but I originally created them to make a better world and how do you make a better world, you start for your home in this case my territory.

After the talk we left the building, I told Alan that I would talk to my father about it myself today. Alan tries to say something but it seems that in the end I accept my decision.

The merchant gave me an advance of 30 gold coins, I took 10 and told him to use the rest to buy some goods, and he would send them to the Edevan mansion.

I gave Alan a gold coin and I was left with 9 coins, in the end although he tried to reject the coin, I insisted that he was a great help today, so he only had to accept the coin.

In my previous world, I never saw the importance of rewarding people for their efforts, in my other world I had some workers under me but I treated them very badly, but after reincarnating, I realized that I should change that, I should show my generosity, and give a reward to the people who serve me.

Before entering the mansion, I face the real verbal battle, which will decide and change the Edevan Dukedom forever.

As I enter the Edevan Duchy Mansion I head to my father's office I can feel a strange pressure before entering as if I am going to have a very strong (verbal) confrontation.

When I open the door I see a man with blond hair and blue eyes who is sitting at the table with a pile of documents when he notices that someone opened the door he looks at me with a penetrating look and tells me

"Thoryan I'm busy right now, anything you want we can talk about later."

Listening to him makes me a little nervous, I've always been shy when it comes to negotiating, but before I was an Adult of legal age, who had had his own company, so I knew what to say in this situation.

"Father, I want to talk to you about a very important matter."

Listening to me, my father sighed, probably thinking that it is better to listen to me at once, and then tell me that I left his office.

"Okay, what's so important that he can't wait.""

““Father, I invented these objects.””

I show him I show him the boards, tokens and wooden pieces of the reversi, mahjong and Tangram games, after spending 15 minutes explaining how it works my father seemed to like the games a bit, especially the reversi but he sighed and told me.

““Thoryan I think if you want someone to play with, it can be me but you have to wait until I finish working.””

Listening to him, I notice that I misunderstood what he wanted so I correct him.

""It's not about that father, what happens is that I met a merchant, who was interested in the games I invented and he wanted to make a deal to market them.""

Listening to me, my father makes a surprised expression, but after thinking about it for a while he tells me.

“Well these games look a bit interesting, but my presence is still necessary for these negotiations, so I will review the contract and see if it is not a scam.”

It is normal for my father to distrust, even I distrust but he who does not risk does not win, that is why I decide to tell my father the identity of the merchant.

"Actually, father, about that merchant, there is something I must tell you."

"What's up Thoryan, that merchant has something strange.""

Listening to him, I arm myself with courage and tell him the truth.

"That merchant is a Myrmen."

Listening to me, my father is surprised, but his expression of surprise is replaced by fury.

A Myrmen, you are telling me that you want to ally yourself with the enemy, there is no Thoryan way.

Father listen to me I know it's hard to accept, but we need to revitalize the territory and what better way than to trade with the Brand Kingdom.

My father keeps looking at me with a look that would make anyone back down.

""They are the enemies of the Thoryan kingdom, they killed most of your ancestors.""

"I know that they are responsible for the death of many of our father ancestors, but we also killed many of theirs, more than 10 years have passed, since the 100-year war it is necessary to change things." ”

Listening to me, my father looks at me with a cold look, while he examines me with his eyes, I feel how he tries to suppress me with his gaze, but I don't turn back and stare at him

““Thoryan the hatred of the people who lost their loved ones will not be easily forgotten, the Kingdom will not be happy with this decision and the other Duchies could act.””

““Father will take a long time to make a decision, besides the Kingdom and the Duchies are fighting each other for power, they will want to interfere but they will stay out in the meantime.””

My father is surprised that I know about the power struggle in the Kingdom and the other 3 Duchies, honestly I read the documents in his office when he is not there, even though it is a private place it is not difficult for me to enter and nobody suspects me me.

But anyway my father refutes what I said.

““Even so what will happen when one of the 2 wins, have you thought about it Thoryan.””

Listening to him say that, it's not that he really knows what's going to happen, but don't underestimate even a child with the mind of an old man, I already know what to say here.

"Father, I promise you that once one of the two wins the Edevan Dukedom, he won't have any worries.""

Listening to me, my father makes a somewhat thoughtful expression, but he finally decides to give my idea a chance.

"Alan knows about this son."

“”Yes, father was with me when he traded with the merchant. Is that a bad thing?.””

My father sighs and says.

““No, his family is faithful to the Edevan territory of the knights, he is the most loyal, I will tell him to keep silent on this matter.””

In the end, my father decided to give this idea a chance. Although I want to think that this was because of my negotiation skills, the truth is that he is probably doing it because of the lack of money that the Edevan Dukedom is suffering from.

““We are the territory with the largest number of soldiers, but while we have the army, which from the beginning makes us lose a lot of money by paying the soldiers' salaries, the other Duchies have few soldiers, but they have precious metal mines and dungeon, where they can get precious materials that are sold at very high prices to merchants.”

Walking the streets I could see the gloomy state of the territory there are a lot of people who suffer from the price of basic food when I found out that there are other Children who can be reincarnated I suspended the plan to start with my dream

I'm still a child after all, I have time I'll dedicate myself to using my otherworldly knowledge to improve the Edevan Dukedom, I should also try to make contact with the other people who I think are reincarnated.
