The Everyday Life of an Incompetent Crown Prince - Chapter 37



37: Preparations for the Establishment of the League

“So, what do you think?”

“I see…”

I visited the Bernard Trading Company first thing in the morning and dragged the busy Jarnar into the reception room. Of course, the subject was about Mimirira and the others yesterday.

I had come up with the idea of how to create a league (guild) and other things on my own, so it would have been a surprise to Jarnar.

Well, I’m sure he’s used to me being unreasonable, so it’s not a problem.

“It’s not a bad deal for our company either. However, it will be difficult to have you as a full-time employee right away.”

“Compatibility?”

“Yes. It’s because I can’t break off our relationship no matter what.”

The relationship he was referring to was with the adventurers (Adbel) and mercenaries (Soldia) of the Alliance that the Bernard Company was currently on good terms with.

“Even if we increase the flow of goods and the number of people to protect them, it will take some time. It’s not impossible. It just takes a little time.”

“Right.”

He drank the black tea brewed with high-quality tea leaves unceremoniously and asked.

“So, the reason and history of the Alliance’s establishment, and the Alliance’s sponsor, are they okay?”

“Of course. Leave it to me.”

“That’s a relief.”

The Alliance is merely a certified organization. Permission will never be unless granted it is recognized by the mediation office. There are various examinations, but among them is the Alliance sponsor, which is the Alliance version of the adventurer registration. If you have this, the possibility of permission being granted smoothly increases.

If the Alliance is small, there will be no problem in preparing the initial investment or necessary supplies, but the larger the scale, the less it will be.

At such times, there may be a sponsor who will provide assistance to the Alliance. It can be a noble or a merchant, but in fact, this sponsor is the guarantor of the adventurer registration.

This Alliance is a trustworthy organization. That’s why I’m sponsoring it.

It can also be taken in that sense.

Of course, this is the same as adventurers. Some may come from the beginning, and some may come later. However, if a large sponsor is attached at the time of the Alliance’s establishment, it will gain credibility by itself.

There is also a guarantor for the Alliance, but this is impossible until after the Alliance is established. Adventurers are individuals, so they can guarantee their past relationships with people, but an organization like the Alliance cannot be guaranteed when it is just established.

In short, a sponsor at the time of establishment is someone who invests in the future of the Alliance and is proof that there is trust (value) in investing.

My sponsor this time is the same as when I registered as an adventurer, Garland, the branch manager of the Bernard Company, the royal purveyor. The reliability is excellent.

“By the way, is it okay to conclude a sales and purchase contract when registering the Alliance?”

“Oh, if you say so. Then I’ll ask for that too.”

This is the same as the sales and purchase contract for goods with a guild or store for adventurers. The Alliance, as an organization, must also conclude a similar contract and register it with the mediation office. With this, Alliance members can wholesale goods to that guild or store.

In fact, this is fine when you are a solo player, a partner, or a party, but when you establish or belong to an Alliance, the contract for the transaction may be canceled by the guild or store.

The reason is that they cannot trade with the adventurer who belongs to the Alliance without a contract with the Alliance to which the adventurer belongs. Even if you were on good terms when you were not a member of the Alliance, it is important to make a new contract.

Weak alliances that cannot establish an alliance and conclude a contract are often disposed of at the mediation office. It’s the easiest place to get paid, even if it costs you labor.

After that, I decided to go home to the mansion for the first time in a few days after throwing away the location of the Alliance base (guild house) and all other procedures.

“Oh, by the way. This is a thank you and compensation for this time.”

“This is…”

What I handed over before leaving the reception room was a large, high-concentration magic stone wrapped in a cloth that I had obtained from the ‘Wooden Haniwa (Claywood)’ the other day. I can’t judge how much it’s worth.

High-concentration magic stones, which are also relatively large in size, have a value that exceeds their original price due to their rarity. Depending on the balance of supply and demand, its value will rise even further.

Surely Jarnall will use it as a loan to a superior or sell it for a high price in the right place.

“Thank you. Leave the rest to me.”

“Yes, please.”

“By the way, what are you going to do from now on?”

“Oh, I think I’ll go home sometimes.”

“I see. Be careful on your way home.”

“If anything happens, call me anytime.”

“I understand.”

“Ah.”

I lay back on the bed I hadn’t slept in for a long time and looked up at the ceiling in a daze.

No matter how good a hotel I stay in, it can’t beat the comfort of this bed.

Before returning it to [My Treasure Box (Colorless Jewels)], I checked the memories of the duplicate (My Copy), but I couldn’t find anything that seemed like a problem. It seemed that he had just been living a life of complete seclusion.

I had also planned to spend the day doing nothing but lazing around, but then a presence and a voice came to interrupt me.

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince.”

“What is it?”

The ones who entered my room were Lisa, the maids, and a magic doctor, led by Zeel.

Ah, come to think of it, today was the day, I thought with a dry feeling.

“I would like to receive your seed.”

“Do as you please.”

It seemed that today was the day to confirm my fertility and seed. My previously clear mood had completely clouded over. I swore to myself that I would definitely sleep for a whole day after this.

As usual, my clothes were taken off, and I was surrounded by maids who were also naked, and the procedure began. However, I was feeling so down that I showed no sign of reacting.

Moreover, the one taking care of me was the expressionless Lisa. I could tell that this would only make me feel even more down. However, if I continued like this, this time would never end, and there was no doubt that I would be made a fuss over again.

As I watched Lisa take care of me with cold indifference, I wondered what it would be like if it were Mimirila.

In the end, I had let her touch my cat ears, but I hadn’t done anything more than that. I didn’t know what Mimirila thought, but for me, it was half a joke.

However, as I thought about what it would be like to have Mimirila do whatever I wanted, I realized that I was reacting. Since I had the opportunity, I imagined myself doing whatever I wanted with Mimirila, and soon the procedure was over, and the confirmation by the magic doctor was also over.

With a frivolous feeling that I had something else to look forward to in the future, I decided to spend the rest of the day lost in dreams, as I had sworn to myself.
