398 Episode XXI: Education in Ludwig (1/2)

The day after she was consulted by Chloe, Meer immediately contacted Ludwig.

”You'll be busy with a lot of things... but you'd better come to Ludwig too”

Call out cases of high urgency and judgment, the most dependable wisdom bags.

”Hmm... Speaking of which, Ludwig also played the role of Bell's teacher. Perhaps it would be a good idea to ask for arithmetic education with you anyway. He's going to think of something good.”

and so on, while thinking about it, write ”I want Bell to teach me,” and send a letter.

Meer, your grandmother is very keen on education.

Further out of St. Noel's Island, head to the city where the Fork Road Chamber of Commerce merchants are staying.

”Um, Meer, sister, can I come with you?

When I left the island, Bell said something like that.

”Oh, I don't think it's particularly fun...”

”Meer, I'd love to burn your sister's bravery in your eyes.”

”I don't think there's anything like showing bravery... but you are... Hmm”

Meer braces herself and thinks.

The line then headed to the city where the Fork Road Chamber of Commerce was stationed.

”Did your daughter tell you? I'm sorry. It's no big deal. It's just that I'm tired..., and I'm glad your Highness is lucky to have your feet...”

”You don't have to worry about it at all, Lord Marco. You are important to our empire. It's literally a lifeline.”

Meer adds, then, with a pranky grin.

”Besides, you are my dear reader, Chloe's father. Without you, Chloe and I won't be able to do reading rigging, and it's not fun.”

”Her Royal Highness Princess Meer...”

Marco bowed his head deeply.

”Thank you for your generosity”

”If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to tell me.”

”Oh... the... it's really not a big deal. It's only a commercial matter...”

”But I heard you were obstructed. What if there's some kind of violent attack... for example, hiring a bandit to attack...”
