Since I was reincarnated as a poor farmer in another world, I decided to lay bricks and build a castle - 1218 Nickname

“So, what brings you here this time, Your Highness Benjamin?” While you’re busy, you won’t be able to come here without anything. ”

“Come on, don’t call me Benjamin, Lord Barca.” That’s how we got to know each other. You can call me Ben. ”

…… What’s the deal?

Is Ben Ben a nickname for Benjamin?

I just exchanged greetings with my acquaintances and everything.

What are you talking about, this guy?

“Have fun.”

“Don’t be shy. Yes, let’s do this then. How about I call Lord Barca Al, too? Then it would be just right for you.”

“… I see. So, let me call you Ben.”

“Great. I didn’t have any friends who would call me Ben.” I might say it’s the first time I’ve gotten a friend on a par today. Nice to meet you, Al. ”

I’ve come this far to make friends.

As expected, that’s impossible.

However, from the point of view of the current exchange, it may not be that we regard it as at least hostile.

What do you think?

I stayed in Charles’ mansion while attending the Noble House, and now I have a marital relationship with the Vandenburgs, a nobleman of the Charles faction.

You know that, and you don’t think you’re on our side.

When I thought about it, Elizabeth’s body was slightly trembling next to her.

What’s the matter with you?

Could it be that you’re angry?

Instead of the opposing faction, you decided that I was captured because of the nickname of the First Prince at the top.

No, well, I don’t think I can help it, but I can’t read the strength of the opponent.

If Charles had surpassed his former reputation, he was reluctant to reject his offer.

Shit, I don’t even know what’s causing me to get angry.

If the opponent had several levels of strength, they might be killed instantly without even using Heal .

You can’t do bad things, so you can’t help but let the other person take the lead.

I see.

Now I’m in the opposite position.

When I negotiated with the Glugalia emissaries, they must have thought the same thing.

[Intimidation] I was forced to make concessions so that I wouldn’t be attacked.

That’s why I decided to grant you favorable conditions.

That’s all I need to do right now.

However, the opponent who was doing that was making a concession to us without even using [Intimidation].

I was impressed that I could not read the opponent’s power at all, and that would be the only weapon I could use.

“… it’s sloppy.”

“Huh? What’s the matter, Elizabeth? What do you mean, sloppy?”

“The first time I met you was when I called you Alphonse.” That’s not good. May I also call you Al-kun? ”

“Ah, yes, please.”

“Ehehe. Al-kun.” Well, then, please call me Liz. ”

“Lizzie? Okay, Lizzie. Is this all right?”

“Yes, I’m glad, Al-kun.”

“Hahaha, apparently, Al and Lady Elizabeth are very close.” I got this one. You’ve been shown off. ”

Yes. Al and I are very close, Your Highness.

Apparently, Elizabeth wasn’t one of those factions that was trembling with pull.

It seemed that she was just envious, and she wanted to call each other by their nicknames.

Of course, I won’t refuse it.

Al and Liz were to be called each other.

That’s good.

There was nothing wrong with getting along with Elizabeth.

So this is about Elizabeth holding back His Highness Benjamin?

I can’t get along with my fiancée.

I mean, didn’t he want to implicitly tell you not to flirt with your marriage?

I see.

I don’t know what the intention was to get here, but Elizabeth probably read that Benjamin had brought me a marriage story.

That’s why I may have shown you that there is no room to show goodwill and interrupt.

Why does Elizabeth have a sedentary liver?

Even if you are a much better opponent, you are displaying your will without pulling back on what you are supposed to claim.

“I think I may have misunderstood you.” No, I’m sorry. I didn’t enjoy your reaction. This time, the reason I came to the Orient and tried to meet Al isn’t to break your engagement. I swear it won’t happen. ”

Well then, why don’t you tell me why you’re here, Ben?

“It’s easy. Al is the head of the mercenary group, isn’t he? What do you think? I’d like to hire Al as a mercenary, but would you mind taking it?”

As a mercenary?

I guess that means fighting Charles on the side of the First Prince Benjamin.

Nonetheless, Nikoniko had been thinking about Benjamin’s unexpected proposal for a while.
