LN Vol 21 Epilogue

Sweetest Punishment

Queen Ismir of Gassel and her husband, King Pashan I, had just finished reading the document on the litigation system brought by Count Druzel.
It was a very positive and favorable system for Gasel. The criteria for lawsuits were clear, and any merchant in Gassel could sue immediately if he was dissatisfied.
This was Hiroto's final legacy. Hiroto left Agnica after getting both countries to agree on this system. When Hiroto visited Gassel, Ismir reminded Hiroto before they parted that he would deal with the issue of raising the price of mountain urchins, and Hiroto was good to keep his word. Frankly, I couldn't believe that the disloyal Gudrun had agreed to do this, but if Hiroto was involved, I guess I could look at the situation with some hope.
He said, "Druzel, you've done a great job. You did a great job.
Ismir said to the Count.
I only had a few words with Herotono-sama," Count Druzel said.
Count Druzel was very grateful.
The Count may be right, but the text suggests that it was Hiroto who initiated the project. It was probably Hiroto who wrote the original draft.
However, it was also established because of the relationship between Count Druzel and Hiroto. Most important of all, Hiroto was very devoted to solving the problem.
When the Myobarashi problem arose, I had intended to dismiss Huplide as unreliable, but it seems that I was too quick to do so. Hiroto has certainly faced Gassel squarely. It is not a good idea to push him away. We should keep a strong connection with Hiroto and Huplide.
Count Druzel further stated that Huplide does not have a military agreement with Agnica.
Agnica. Hiroto explained that it was a trade agreement, not something that would make the king and queen feel guilty, but judging from Hiroto's smile, he was probably right.
In all likelihood, Agnica would have had the advantage. Agnica would have definitely won the military agreement, but we don't know what Hiroto did. We'll find out soon enough.
Let's see how this works out for a while. Hey, honey."
I looked at my husband and saw Pashan II nodding. There were no words, but I could tell that he was satisfied. If he is dissatisfied, he frowns; if he is more dissatisfied, he growls low. Nothing is a sign of satisfaction.
(Military operations are temporarily frozen.)
Ismir decides. It is not too late to see how well the litigation system works.
The next time a vampire girl comes to visit you, invite me. I will dine with her.
Ismir ordered Dorsel. Count Drusel bowed his head.
By the way...
Ismir gave Count Druzel a mischievous look.
'Hiroto didn't ask Gudrun to marry him, did he?
He stung. Count Druzel," he spat.
But he did challenge Count Gudrun with a sword.
With a sword? With a sword?
Ismir asked.
Let me hear it.
Pashan II, who had been silent, leaned forward. Count Druzel began to talk about what had happened at the port of Sarika, gesturing with his body language.

Queen Astorica of Agnica was looking at a letter from Goodloun, a rare occurrence.
It was a report on the litigation system. It was an after-action report from Hiroto, who had asked her to follow up on his request to negotiate with Count Druzel and Goodroon and put things together.
I hope this will prevent any unnecessary abuse of the system. We have put a tight rein on it.
The Marquis of Lindrus immediately agreed. Prime Minister Rokroi did not complain. Astorica herself had no objection. Astorica herself had no intention of objecting.
