Surviving as a Writer in the British Empire - Chapter 69



＜ Hapjongyeonhyeong ＞

While science trivia learning books are a mysterious hit in the United States, Mark Twain, the ‘Rebel of the South’, is transformed into the frontier incarnate.

In England, a general election was held in 1895.

“Regime Judgment!! How long do we have to watch that bastard Liberal Party ruin this country! Judge Gladstone, Primrose, and Campbell Bannerman! The Conservative Party will become the ‘Dunbringer’ and promise a new dawn to the Empire!”

“Even if you hate it, once again!! Freedom to Ireland! Equal vote for everyone!! Like that ‘Gregory Villiers’! Incompetent and greedy aristocrats must not seize power even once!!”

In the original history, the Liberal Party of Great Britain lost the Prime Minister’s seat to the Marquis of Salisbury, and was unable to deal with the internal conflict.

In the end, some of the conservatives within the Liberal Party split into the ‘Liberal Unionist Party’ and Irish Independentists split into the ‘Irish National Federation’ and were defeated. .

But now it is different. The indirect change brought about by the intervention of modern man, an old disease of history, has given the Liberal Party two advantages.

First.

“Everyone, calm down!! Now, if we split and fight like this and the Conservatives take over the government, Irish autonomy and suffrage and whatever else will go unnoticed!!”

Henry Campbell-Bannerman quickly succeeded in gaining the helm of the Liberal Party.

In the original history, he was a Tangpyeong politician who succeeded in resolving the party’s internal conflict and regaining the ruling party’s seat.

Those who can hold hands are held, and those who can be abandoned are discarded.

Although he served as prime minister for only one month, Campbell-Bannerman, along with Gladstone, did his best to deal with the internal conflict as best he could.

As a result, coalitions with the Labor Party and the Irish National Party were successful.

and second.

“Is the Bank of England’s judgment that saved Barings Bank in 1890 really right!?”

“In the end, the UK Stock Exchange failed to punish neither Leaderdale nor Gibbs! Then who is the real original sin?!”

“Answer me, Marquis of Salisbury! At that time, the prime minister was none other than you!!”

Last year, a small snowball launched by a novelist that hit the British financial world—or rather, the Barings Scandal.

At that time, all the legal disputes were settled and ended, but strictly speaking, it was the boiling pot that was properly removed, not the fire turned off.

Leaderdale, then governor of the Bank of England, retired and returned to the savage (there was a rumor that he spat on the front door of the bank, but it was not confirmed), but the person who was the prime minister at the time remained in politics… right away The current leader of the Conservative Party, Robert Gascoyne Cecil, Marquess of Salisbury.

In an instant, the frame of ‘Salisbury without knowing’ and ‘Conservative Party, the culprit of the economic recession’ was created, and the Liberal Party launched an all-out offensive.

Of course, it was vague that these two advantages moderately ensured the Liberal Party’s victory.

Anyway, the theory of judging the regime was always a political offensive that worked.

and thus the result.

“I won, I won!!”

“Damn it, like this again!!”

Conservative Party, 326 seats.

Liberal Party, 256 seats.

Irish National Party, 72 seats.

In addition, 15 seats.

If the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party were simply considered, the Conservative Party would have to win and take the Prime Minister’s seat, but the Liberal Party and the Irish National Party would form a coalition.

That’s why Campbell-Bannerman, who brought the two parties together and brought 328 seats, managed to be reappointed as the 49th prime minister.

“But the situation is not good for us to do now. First of all, we have to do it internally.”

before toasting. Campbell Bannerman met Gladstone and said so, and Gladstone also agreed and calmly proposed.

“Ask the Marquis of Salisbury for Foreign Secretary. Anyway, isn’t that nobleman thick-boned?”

“That’s a good idea. Then, in return, you will have to make concessions in terms of economic policy and voting rights.”

So, little by little, history began to ride on the snowball’s golden spin.

and around that time.

“Whoa.”

I looked down at the manuscript with satisfaction.

Finally, finally, I’m finishing this hellish manuscript.

Volume 8 of the Peter Perry series, Peter Perry and the End of Eternity.

This is a book to say goodbye to Peter, who has been running with me for the past five years.

“Even thinking about it now, it was a really bizarre debut.”

How absurd I was when a book I never thought would work in this era suddenly became the best seller in London.

I laughed and thought of Mr. Bentley at that time. I was really dumbfounded back then.

Anyway, thanks to this, I now have a relationship with Arthur Conan Doyle, Lewis Carroll, and Mark Twain, become a play, and become friends with the Crown Prince… In many ways, it was a book I was grateful for.

I don’t think I want to keep going. but.

“That doesn’t work.”

I don’t know if it’s an omnibus like Sherlock Holmes, but I set Peter Perry as an adventure academy from the beginning and wrote it, right? Also for short.

In this situation, let’s say I write ＜Peter Perry＞ for 10 or 20 years instead of 5 years with my greed.

Won’t the form collapse? assert obviously collapses

Even in modern times, there were no noblemen who used it like that. Whether it’s published novels, web novels, light novels, or comics.

But I’ve rarely seen such nobles maintain their form by going over 50 volumes with a single story.

At least a mansin who draws pirate cartoons? Oh, did he slip and climb up once?

So, as the title suggests, this is the end of eternity. It’s the end for eternity.

A novel that leaves knowing when to leave will remain in the hearts of readers forever.

“Then stop crying.”

“Kuhup, but, Mr. Author…!”

“Ah, let the mucus drip on the manuscript.”

“Keuheuk… The author is really, the best bastard…!”

This man is openly cursing now. I laughed and shook my head.

After all, Bentley was the first Peter Perry fan outside of the Miller family.

Yes, I understand the sadness of having a favorite novel come to an end. Still, Peter can only be exported in the most beautiful way when he finishes it here.

“Cheup, big. By the way, writer, wouldn’t this have a bad effect on the play?”

“Well, roughly, it’s enough to make a hardcover book. With one or two more side stories.”

“Huh… you’re vicious.”

It’s vicious, but in the 21st century, it’s something we do every day. I smiled and said confidently.

“Rather than that, should we think about the next thing?”

“Ah, yes. Author, are you thinking about something?”

“Hmm, well.”

As I intentionally smiled and paused, a nervous light began to shine in Mr. Bentley’s eyes.

Somehow, I notice that I will still focus on Strand Magazine.

I’m just saying this just in case, but Mr. Bentley is not incompetent. Rather competent. As a businessman, the aspect of maintaining is rather better than mine.

＜Weekly Temple＞, which people were worried about at first, was eventually put on track.

It is now one of the most popular magazines with serials by several renowned authors, including Herbert George Wells and Bram Stoker. Not too long ago I signed Oscar Wilde.

But what is the reason for me to leave this company?

Strand Magazine does a good job because of ＜Dawnbringer＞, but it’s not as good as this place that saved the dying company.

I’m not saying that because it’s convenient for Mr. Bentley, who can’t know such a thing, to serve as the de facto editor and secretary in charge. never!

Well, thanks to Herbert Greenhough Smith, the editor of Strand magazine, I’m getting a lot of help with my weak reasoning in ＜Dawnbringer＞ thanks to that guy, but that vector is different.

In the end, it’s all about working together.

anyway.

“The next project… that’s right. This time, the basics are going to be a boy protagonist.”

“It’s a boy protagonist. It is definitely a follow-up to ＜Peter Perry＞, and considering the main customer base of ＜Weekly Temple＞, I think it would be better.”

“yes. And this time, I’m going to try to focus on the adventure by overcoming the academy stuff.”

“Adventure?”

“yes.”

To be honest, the biggest problem with academies was that the backgrounds were limited.

This part is an advantage in the play.

But when I write a long novel, I feel frustrated because I write a little bit.

Regarding Oberon Academy, even though I wrote everything I needed to write, I still had to repeat the description I had because the justification for escaping from it was ambiguous…

and.

From noble mtl dot com

“The label, too, should start properly now.”

“Ummm, it’s definitely as you said. Now that mathematics and science have succeeded, if I publish my next novel under that label, I will be able to get even better reviews.”

“hahahaha, I was aiming for that, too. Actually, it’s a bit of a separate story.”

It was an idea that came to me while watching Oscar Wilde’s canning and his achievements in North America.

“So the subject I thought of was… cultural anthropology.”

To be more precise, it is a series of learning novels in the field of liberal arts, which were on par with the Survival series.

It is ＜Treasure Hunt＞.

***

A bar somewhere in London.

“Long time no see, James.”

“Thank you for inviting me, Patrick. I never dreamed that the day would come when I would see you again like this.”

Baker Street Irregulars, once one of Britain’s premier Sherlockian clubs.

There used to be a conflict with ‘Santrella’s Song’, which was also the best Hanslian club, but when ＜The Refugees＞ came out, they joined the boycott because they felt the same as the fan club of the same novel.

Of course, as a comrade-in-arms.

And it wasn’t just them.

There were 17 heads of six Sherlockian clubs, 11 Hansleyan clubs, and a huge fiction club with a total of 500 members gathered in one place.

“Do you know why we are here like this?”

“of course.”

End of Peter Perry.

This is an abomination that can never be ignored.

It’s a disaster that fell on London.

Even if the queen dies, ＜Peter Perry＞ cannot be completed!

Those who gathered here with such determination.

“Listen! Those of us gathered at this cafe must have been introduced to ＜Peter Perry＞, ＜Sherlock Holmes＞, and someone else to ＜Dawnbringer＞ and ＜Vincent Villiers＞!”

“Someone can support Yulil, or someone can support Marv. There will be those who support other heroines with minority preferences!”

“However! Put that conflict aside for now. Let’s leave our backs on each other now, even if we are enemies who cannot coexist with each other, even those who originally come from different backgrounds! Not to see the ending anyone wants! To prevent the completion of our light, ＜Peter Perry＞!!”

“Oohhh!!”

After the general election, cafes all over London should be quiet.

In order to prevent the completion of the novel, a needlessly large-scale joint alliance has begun.

“・・・・・Everyone turned around.”

and between them.

‘Am I the only normal person here?’

A naval officer, who had changed his clothes and entered, was touching his temple and continuing to play with a fountain pen with his other hand.
