Chapter 429.1: Tony's Case ?
Chapter 429.1: Tony's Case ?
I see, this ain’t so bad.
It was the loudest day that I, Tony, can remember, and the most fun I had.
All I did this time was tell the citizens to open stores, hand out gold coins, and build buildings along the roads. It was a quick process using the city system, but I never expected that such simple actions would create such a lively scene. You can build a shop, but you can’t make customers.
And even though the items on display in the store can easily be obtained through the system, browsing through them is surprisingly enjoyable.
Wherever I appear, the citizens welcome me with open arms.
My area is usually relatively crowded, but this is the first time I have seen so many people gathered in one place. Everyone seemed to be in a fever, but it wasn’t so bad once in a while.
The citizens who set up the store are all very welcoming toward us. Some even offered to give us their products for free, and some even fainted in excitement.
There is no particular meaning to the store or to gathering people at the moment. But the fact that my subordinates don’t complain is probably because they are thinking the same thing as me. There is potential, a future in that enthusiasm.
As the sun sets, we return to my base, but the excitement still doesn’t seem to stop.
“Wow, I never thought there would be that many people in my area. No, well, I did know the number of people I have.” (Tony)“There are some cities out there where you see that kind of scenery every day, you know.” (Cry)
“Seriously?! I’d love to see that at least once.” (Tony)
I, who created the same scene??Is genuinely surprised by what Cry said. Today, my area is probably the busiest in all of Code’s history, but to think that there are cities where such a scene could be seen every day.
Hearing what he said, Alisha, who has been touring the city with a smile on her face despite her confusion, speaks with twinkles in her eyes.
“Cry! You said you would show it to me, right?” (Alisha)
“………… If there is an opportunity, yeah.” (Cry)
“Oi, oi, don’t make promises this lightly.” (Tony)
Speaking of unexpected, Alisha is also unexpected.
Alisha Code is a lively and cheerful girl. I have seen her several times recently through the city system, but when I see her in person, she gives me a much better impression than I had expected. Even though she has been imprisoned for a long time, there is no malice in her expression, and more than anything??As far as I can tell from checking the records, she has clearly grown in the past few days.
As a result of being exposed to the stimuli of the outside world and having her emotions stirred, Alisha has changed both physically and mentally. The previous Alisha gave the impression that she was like a beautiful doll, but I doubt anyone would have the same impression of her now.
The problem is that the battle for the throne is just around the corner.
The outcome of the battle for the throne is already clear. Angus will win. There is no reason for him to lose. I don’t know if Nora knows, but I have a rough idea of the strength of Angus’ forces.
Up until now, it wouldn’t have been a problem if Angus had won, but the situation has changed a little.
My brother is aiming for a stronger Code. That careful and serious brother of mine probably doesn’t want the change I have taken this time and he probably doesn’t want Alisha to survive. It was my mistake that I did not interfere with the surveillance because I had nothing to hide.
Angus must have been checking how we were doing today. And he must think this.
Alisha is dangerous. Alisha has now a bit too much aura to be dismissed as just a spare.
I am sure she has caused as much noise as I did during our shopping today. Alisha has the power to move people’s hearts.
It is not a great power right now, but it is one that will become troublesome if left unchecked.
And the one who brought that out is Cry Andrich. If Angus ascends to the throne, Alisha and Cry will definitely be executed. And the actions that I had taken today would be forbidden. ?â?????
But that is just??Too boring.
Is there any hand I can play…… If this situation had happened a little bit sooner, I might have been able to do something……
“That’s because you never know what will happen if the king changes. But you probably won’t be able to go outside, and you probably won’t be able to do something like what you are doing now.” (Tony)
“If Tony Onii-sama becomes king, will you open a lot of stores?” (Alisha)
“That’s something that’s impossible. I’m telling you, our brother has power that even the ?Lightning Emperor (Raitei)? cannot overturn.” (Tony)
Thanks for reading! Here’s the extra chapter thanks to Valis1911 and CJ. Alisha and Tony are like superstars. Wherever they go people cheer and faint. And don’t worry Tony, Cry got this! It is not for nothing that he chose to be Alisha’s Royal Guard!
