Yuhal screams......, that, for Ludwig, was a painful word.

What Yuhal says is that Ludwig knows very well…, there is a treaty between the Empire and Perugia which is indeed not fair….

There was nothing I could do about it. Even if I know there's a problem, I can't do anything about it..., with the only problem I can turn a blind eye to...

Most importantly, it's only an imperial rationale. On Perugian's side, there was their claim.

"For years, our Peruvian wheat has been unjustly cheaply bought down by treaty with the Empire. As long as there is an empire, our country will forever be spared the sleigh with the kingdom of the serfs. No matter how beautiful your mouth is, this reality doesn't change."

It was a reality that could not be helped. It is absolutely impossible to convince someone, let alone win trust….

I can't help it, I can't help it, because I'm going to give up and look away...

But Meer...,

"Yes...... If such a treaty…"

After just one breathing tour......,

"Then it would be nice to repeal such a treaty."

I said it all the time.

Totally, like nothing......, as if you haven't thought about anything.

Or…, as if that were the elusive, absolute truth….

Meer said away.

Such a treaty, throw it away......

Some of the people on the spot harden into the words.

King Yuhal, Shalok, and Ludwig too......

Of these, it was the irreplaceable Ludwig who recovered as soon as possible.

"Dear Meer, that's..."

Seeing his face like that, Meer nodded with a convincing face.

"Oh, of course, I do not have such authority, so all I can do is work to stop it..."

and, Meer, put a word of no in Yuhal and then

"Can you do that? Ludwig."

I turned my gaze to Ludwig.

- Here, you're swinging at me!

Ludwig screams in his heart at the sudden words of Meer. For a moment, he diligently suppresses the vegetables from appearing, but still thinks. Meaning what Meer said.

Even what seems absolutely impossible to me, Meer says.

Must make sense.

Firstly, from a moral point of view, Meer's claim is correct. There is indeed an unequal pact between the Empire and Perugia, such as treating the people of Perugia as serfs.

To put it very roughly, it was a treaty at the core of selling the quantity of wheat the Empire needed, at a reduced price.

Each year, although price negotiations take place only in form, transactions take place against the backdrop of military power, mostly at prices as demanded by the Empire. Sharokh would have caught his eyes here and plotted to catch prices to such an extent as not to trigger imperial military intervention that he swallowed all sorts of demands on an empire in food shortages......

Anyway, as for the Peruvian side, it was in the same situation that vast tracts of land were occupied for wheat, which did not even become a bundle of three sentences.

Besides, I would also be angry to be told badly about the wheat I exported because of it. Leaving this behind was, at least, a situation that could not be described as fair.

There is also no doubt that this treaty is in the way, even in view of Meer's concept of "forming a relationship of trust with Perugia".

Even in that sense, Meer's idea of repealing it is simple and sensible...

- The problem is feasibility...

Anyway, as Meer herself said, Meer does not have such authority.

The matter involves a commitment between the State and the State. No matter how much Meer is spoiled by the Emperor, he has no power to that point in his position as the Empress, nor is he selfish enough to pass through.

Yes... if it's (...) the (...) princess (...) then...

Needless to say, Meer's power is one of the best not only within the Empire, but also on the continent.

Rafina, Virgin of the Principality of Velga, Prince Zion of the Kingdom of Sankland, Prince Abel of the Kingdom of Lemno......

They will not spare any cooperation if Meer tries to do the right thing.

In addition to that, the children of the Imperial Four Dukes family...... I can't say no if Meer asks me to.

In addition, Meer now has the overwhelming support of the people.

It is the "work" of the princess of the Empire, who followed such an immense backshield.

It doesn't matter whether Meer has authority or not. The "workings" are more powerful than the words of the head of the Moon Province in charge, than the words of the Chancellor… and, according to the case, even the Emperor.

Feasibility can never be described as low.

- What is more decisive is that it is necessary for the reform of the Empire….

Ludwig had to admit while confused.

That what Meer says is absolutely necessary in reforming the Empire in a better direction.

Because as long as there is this treaty with Perugia, the imperial nobles will not seek to increase their own farmland.

Anyway, I can buy cheap wheat from Perugia. As far as that thought was concerned, it was difficult to increase food self-sufficiency within the Empire.

Therefore, if we are to reform the imperial farmland promptly, we need to reduce our dependence on Perugia.

- Clear logic. Really......, they seem to really like it.

In Ludwig's head come those of his own companions. The other day it was the faces of those whom he spoke out and wished to cooperate with.

If the disciples of Garve the Wise understood this way of thinking of Meer and were shown the need…, they must move with all of their administrative processing abilities.

Anyway, they're not looking for a place to use their powers. I am determined to stay alive and die.

And that… could probably even reach those with competence to negotiate treaties.

- Therefore, if you can or can't... you can.

There is a moral "reason" to do it, there is a rational "need" to do it, and there is even a "power" to do it.

Furthermore..., Ludwig accidentally leaked a sigh of admiration to the point of something.

- Oh, so... So at this "hour," Mia, you do this...

Ludwig knows. That the opposite is true of major reforms.

When I say peaceful routine, it's stopped. A similar day, a similar year goes on, a time of silence and pause.

Folks are relieved that they are not changing, that they are stopping.

There is always opposition to changing it, i.e. moving what is stopping. You can rest assured that it's stopped. Changed destinations are not always better than they are now. No, even if that was a "good thing" or "right thing," the opposite voice is not small.

Because humans are conservative in nature and fear change.

Therefore, Ludwig had reason to disagree, as it should have.

Because what Meer was trying to do was to be able to anticipate not only nobility, but also popular disgust......

But...... Yeah, but it is.

- Now, to put it only at this time…, the reason for its opposition disappears.

It's hard to make a difference in a peaceful routine. But change... it doesn't have to happen before Meer does.

Because the course of the times is now exactly in the form of "famine", and it is where the countries of the continent are undoubtedly forced to change. So what Meer is trying to do......

- Mia is going to reform the Empire in unison as a result of that dramatic change.

Starvation does not fix a weakened and broken country to its "original form".

I'm trying to replace it with a new form.

We can't have halfway reforms. Then I'll be thwarted along the way.

Ludwig now knew that. No, to tell the truth, I knew it originally. I know, and Meer shined a light on the truth I'd never pretended to see before.

- The famine makes the aristocrats and the people feel at risk for food self-sufficiency..., while their memories are vivid, shall we move things forward once and for all...

Ludwig was a dizzying thought in a grand concept that even looked at the course of the times.

- That's why you can rely on others, use others, or... Sure, I can't do this on my own.

With that in mind, Ludwig opened his mouth as he sorted out his thoughts.

"Right...... Within the Empire, we are currently working to increase farmland. If there is more agricultural land, it will inevitably also reduce the amount of wheat imported by the Empire, so I wonder whether it is possible, in a gradual manner, to revise the Treaty with Peru. Like reducing the amount of wheat the Empire is importing from Perugia..."

Ludwig presents his thoughts carefully.

That would be over a few years of reform.

However, if exports to the Empire are reduced and excess wheat can be wholesaled to other countries at fair prices, more money should go into Peru. The situation will improve.

Or maybe we could use the land for something other than wheat......

- No, the people of Peruvian will think about what's going on in the country around there.

I don't know the final shape of the destination.

Since it is a Peruvian farming country with no military power, trading in the name of security and somewhat in favour of the empire may remain.

Reform itself should also be gradual in the first place, and suddenly all inequalities will not be eliminated......

Still......, that would be a light of hope.

Every year, if the situation improves slightly, it will be a great hope for the Peruvian peasants. Walk from stagnation to hope... because even if that walk is slow, it makes sense to move on.

Thus, the Peruvian farming nation and the Tiermoon Empire are linked in win-win relations. That is the new form of Meer's contemplative two countries.

Even after listening to Ludwig, King Yuhar still has his pompous mouth open...... Such a calm Meer voice can be called to him.

"But... that can't be right away either. As I said at the outset, there will be famine over the next few years. Even if we increased our farmland in the Empire, we probably won't make it to scale..."

So I cut the word, and Meer stared at Yuhal.

"So all we can do here and now is promise. On top of that......, can you trust me? Can you trust me? Your Majesty."

Meer asked.

Do you trust yourself? and.

Do you intend to enter into a relationship of trust with the Empire from scratch? and.
