I Became the Crown Prince of a Ruined Country

76 – On the swing

“Ugh~ ha ha…! It was hard…”

A girl who stretches as hard as she can and then droops her shoulders.

At best, he looks only in his mid-teens, but he was definitely the representative of the envoys from Joseon to Yodong.

Her

Her Her godfather, who followed her as her assistant by her side and as her deputy in her mission this time, said that she was dizzy. Hit her with the face of

“Princess, please keep your dignity. Currently, the princess is the affairs of this delegation. You are the face of your country.”

“It’s only us anyway, what. Oh, wasn’t it worse than that?”

Seeing her smiling and talking casually, her anger went over as if she hadn’t won, even though she let out a sigh inside.

Godfather Hyul has taken care of her princess since she was much younger than she is now. He took on the role of taking care of the princess instead of the king, who was busy dealing with the damages of the war, relocating the capital, and moving her base across the Tianshan Mountains.

At first she felt like a rigid teacher and disciple, but she has been with her for a long time and now she is no different than a friend.

Looking back on the past days with the princess in the blink of an eye, Hyul ruminated on her most recent memory, what happened just before.

A brief encounter with Jingae, the lord of Yangpyeongseong and the actual ruler of Yodong.

It was a time to receive information about a place to stay while in Yangpyeong, along with a formal greeting to welcome them back after the arduous journey over the mountain range.

As it is rude to have a formal meeting with those who have not yet fully recovered from their travels, Jin-gae will have a meeting after sufficiently resting. Got off

In the process, only the princess, the representative of Joseon, exchanged conversations with Jingae. And, in the eyes of Hyul, the princess’s diplomatic words and actions were clean and neat, with no errors in etiquette, unlike now.

“It’s not that it’s not bad, it’s that it’s great. I’ve seen General Qin Gai three times so far, but today was the best atmosphere.”

“hehehe, is that so? Someone taught me.”

Hyul laughed awkwardly at the words of the princess praising Hyul for secretly teaching her etiquette. Is it possible not to get hit all the time?

You are such a proud disciple.

She has been together for a long time, and she is a princess who knows what kind of person she is.

But just as the princess got to know Hul well, she also has a deep understanding of Hul and her princess.

“So what else are you going to do? I think you want to see the inside of Yangpyeong’s castle.”

“Ehehehe.”

However, the result is certain only if you know it. When I saw that smile, I couldn’t deny it.

If I had gone too far, I would have closed my eyes and said something, but that intelligent princess never crossed the line with such an unreasonable request.

“First of all, we have to finish the work of the delegation.”

At Hyul’s words meaning her conditional permission, the princess smiled broadly and shook her head.

“Of course!”

Since Hyul’s heart is about to change, the princess walks ahead of the dodo with quick steps.

She looked behind her on his back, and Hyul increased her stride with a giggle.

“Go carefully! Then you will fall!”

§

It didn’t take long for her to stop by and come back.

She even washed her face briefly before meeting Jin Gae, and her servants were working diligently even during the brief moment when the delegation met Jin Gae.

The princess, who changed from her polite uniform to simple active clothes, spoke to Hyul, who was walking side by side with her.

“Did you hear that? It seems that a large guild came from the mainland of Yan this time.”

“Oops. I wondered what he was thinking so intently in the carriage, and he seemed to be overhearing the voices of the people of Yangpyeong.”

“I didn’t overhear it. I just collected information about Yangpyeong. If you’re a Jiji, you’re going to have to fight. Son Mu said that too, right?”

But she was just for information gathering. She was a princess, and she knew all too well about the top that she had been looking for this time.

“The name at the top looks like a movie.”

“Mubi (無比). There is nothing to compare it to. What an arrogant name.”

“Ah, it’s not that movie, it’s a movie. It seems to mean that there is no lie. They say that the trust of the top products is the best.”

“Then you’re a true merchant. Among those who call it that, very few really keep their word. But, considering that you’ve collected information, aren’t you focusing too much on the top?”

In response to a question close to a rebuke hinted at by Hul, the princess hesitated and confessed the truth.

“Actually, while I was meeting with General Jingae, Hyang-i saw it and asked me to find out about the upper ranks.”

Like Hyul, Hyang was a maid who looked after her princess from a young age. While helping her change, she must have passed on what she found out.

The princess was prepared for Hul’s stinging soul in her heart, but as if she couldn’t help it, she only left words asking him to talk with herself from now on.

She was the first princess to come out of the capital, Wanggeomseong (王儉城).

Since the responsibilities as an envoy are important, even Hyul can’t be flexible in public affairs, but it would be nice to let go of such a brief outing.

With that kind of heart, she didn’t stop the princess from going to her dock.

“Wow, look at that. Your stomach is huge, isn’t it?”

The tip of her finger pointed by the princess. Three boats were floating on the river under the Crown Prince.

Joseon, as befits a country that dominated Liaodong in the past, had several boats using waterways such as Yosu, Biryuha, and Daeyangha.

But that ship was bigger than the Joseon’s, so I wondered if hundreds of people would get on board if it was packed tightly.

Following the words of her princess, Hyul, who saw her belly, displayed her own broad insight.

“It’s a nunnery. However, for stability, the nunnery on the deck was made smaller, and the lower structure was also changed in favor of speed, so a merchant ship in the shape of a nunseon would be more appropriate.”

In Joseon, ships were also an important means of transportation. The current leader in technology and culture is, after all, the midfielder. Joseon has obtained advanced civilization through trade with them.

However, the importance of the ship was very high as it lost its rocking and had to cross the mountain range several times to reach the central plain through land.

Of course, now the route is slightly changed and it is going to interact with Jingae of Liaodong, but even so, the technology of shipbuilding is attractive to Joseon.

Hyul shifted into the posture of a teacher and recited her analysis of her stomach as if giving a lesson to her princess, but the princess was not particularly interested in what he said.

The princess, who was listening to Hyul’s words with one ear and letting them out with the other, was in a state where her eyes were drawn to things and people coming off her ship.

“It’s not like this, let’s get a little closer!”

“Huh…the explanation isn’t over yet, no, princess!”

The princess, who has a very good habit of matching her words and actions, ran out at the same time as Cheongyu. She hurriedly caught up behind the princess, who jumped out before she could catch her.

It wasn’t just the princess who came to watch, the dock area was crowded with onlookers.

Visiting the top is a common occurrence. However, the news that they are a new top team and that they are a rising top team that is very famous in the midfield was enough to differentiate them.

There were familiar objects, but there were also many strange objects that I had never seen before. In the eyes of the princess who was chasing various objects, something suddenly caught her attention.

“Hyul, he seems to be in the same age as me. Is he a member of the upper ranks?”

“Hmm, where…”

Hyul carefully observed the place the princess had told her about.

From noble mtl dot com

It was definitely as the princess said. The boy watching the loading and unloading of the ship from close range was about the same age as the princess, so it seemed like he was two or three years old at the most.

Judging by the fact that he was inside the lines of the soldiers guarding the dock, he must have been a member of the upper ranks, but he was neatly dressed as if he were not a stevedor.

Then you are the manager? That, too, was questionable. Although the clothes are clean, they are not very high-end in Hyul’s eyes, and the attitude of the people around her is different from the way she treats her superiors.

Since he was asking about this and that next to those who were giving orders, he guessed that it was probably an apprentice trainee being raised inside the guild.

The moment Hyul was about to tell us the analysis results. The people at the top began to pile up.

“Ah, I think it’s over. Let’s follow it.”

It was not only the princess and Hull who followed behind the movie troupe.

The spectators also rushed at the thought of buying the goods they were selling.

Movie Group started receiving customers only after renting a large building in Yangpyeong and installing shelves inside and outside it.

Daily necessities for ordinary people were sold outside, and luxuries and luxury items for nobles were sold inside.

Even though she is a princess, she was looking around at the stalls outside for the people. She spotted the boy she had seen earlier and approached him.

“Hey!”

She was now a princess who did unexpected things without even saying anything to Hyul.

At first, the boy didn’t think he was being called, but when he met the princess’s eyes, he pointed at himself with her finger and asked.

“You mean that?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“What’s up?”

I wonder if the calm boy’s attitude seemed slightly disrespectful. However, it would be foolish to reprimand them for not recognizing the princess in a foreign country.

Because of this, Hyul opened her mouth with the idea of informing her of her princess status and inducing her to correct her posture on her own.

“Look. This person…”

“Hyul. It’s okay.”

“Ummm…I see.”

She said she became a princess, but she couldn’t go out any further.

Although she was dissatisfied, she stopped her words and she withdrew.

“Please understand. He cares about me so much.”

“It’s okay. But why did you talk to me?”

“It’s nothing special. I’m looking at things and there’s a lot I don’t know. You’re a top-tier guy, right? Could you help me out if you have time?”

As her boy looked at her, narrowing her eyes coyly, her princess added her words as if her feet were numb.

“Ah! I’m not trying to force it, it’s only if I can afford it. Of course, I will repay you for your help.”

The boy also responded positively to the urgent self-defense.

“Hmm…there’s nothing wrong with it. Okay. I’ll report it to the top and help guide you. By the way, what’s your name?”

“Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m B. It’s my childhood name, so you can call me Bia.”
