Chapter 716 Nergiante Dukedom

The other kingdoms had the finances to afford building such a place in a hurry, but the same couldn\'t be said about the Nergiante Dukedom.

As we rode through their capital city, it was very clear what the finances of the Nergiante Dukedom was.

Even though this was supposed to be a capital city, it was only at the same level as a town in our kingdom. This place was clearly not as prosperous as the other countries, but that wasn\'t strange since it wasn\'t as big as those other countries in the first place.

There was a reason why it was just a dukedom and not a kingdom.

The land that it occupied wasn\'t even a fourth of the land that our kingdom had, so there was just no comparing the two.

But there was something else that caught my eyes as we passed through this place.

The fourth prince who was in the same carriage as me also seemed to notice it as he looked at me with a special look.

It was like he was asking…

"Are you seeing this?"

I gave a nod back in response, but I didn\'t say anything as I kept looking out the window at the scenery around us.

This town…even if it was poor, it had one advantage that the other cities didn\'t.

The planning of space usage in the town, it was something that was far better than any town or city that I\'ve seen before. I had to admit that it was even better than the planning in my town.

However, that was only because I inherited the town and hadn\'t been able to make proper changes to it yet.

Rose was in charge of that, but I had given her the idea to sector the town based on function.

Which was what had led to the economic zone in the first place.

Though the introduction of the economic zone meant that it took us longer to implement the plan than it should have.

Still, that didn\'t explain why the capital city of this dukedom was planned in this fashion.

This was definitely something that was worth bringing up later.

But for now…

The fourth prince and I just sat in our carriage as we passed through the city.

The two of us had relaxed looks on our faces as we looked out the window.

This city…it was very peaceful.

It was completely different from the capital cities that we had visited before.

The people here just lived their lives at their own pace without worrying about the future, but that was just because they didn\'t need to worry about it. The clothes that they wore and the food that they carried, it was clear that they had an abundance of natural resources that allowed them to live a happy life.

This was the kind of place that I actually wanted for myself.

Though the strange thing was that the fourth prince looked like he was thinking the same thing as me.

Could the fourth prince be thinking the same thing as me?

The one that had even sacrificed his life in the game for the prosperity of the kingdom?

He wanted to abandon everything and just move here to live a simple life?

It was hard for me to accept this, but there was no denying the look that was on the face of the fourth prince.

I knew what that look meant as someone who had the same look on my face not that long ago.

But for now, I didn\'t ask him anything.

Rather, I was focusing on what would come next…

Though I had said that I would be able to take care of this when I was with the others, I had hidden one thing.

Since this quest was one of the ones that happened later, it was actually one of the late game quests. This was a quest that should be very hard for the current me who was still considered in mid game.

If there wasn\'t an easy way to finish this quest, I really might have never thought about taking it on. But since there was an easy way to finish this quest, it meant that I could do it without any problems.

Or at least I hoped.

It would all depend on this meeting with the duke.

That was because the duke had something that would make this much easier for me to handle as long as the duke was willing to hand it over. If the duke wasn\'t as willing to hand it over, then it certainly would make things hard for me.

So I was counting on this meeting with the duke to go well.

After riding in the carriage for a bit, we arrived at the duke\'s manor.

This was different from all of the castles that we had seen before.

The duke and his family seemed to live simple, so this manor wasn\'t even comparable to some of the manors of lower ranked nobles in other kingdoms that we\'ve seen. It was clear that the duke and his family didn\'t care about those things.

When we arrived, there were only a few maids and all of them spoke with the duke and his family casually.

It was as if they had been here serving the duke and his family for many years now.

The maids even seem like they were friends with the duke\'s son and daughter.

My brain couldn\'t help spinning an image that didn\'t belong in this world.

If this was my world, this scene would definitely be from one of those isekai slow life novels…

The duke talked to his butler for a bit before bringing us to the reception room of the manor.

When we sat down, he didn\'t beat around the bush as he asked, "Your lordship, is there a reason why you came to our dukedom?"
